Whole pixels use to be the bain of my life ; ) Thanks for the reminder.

@RE4LLYYour information is a MasterClass in Artboards. Wow! @PšendaThe circle is a symbol and has a 3D & Bevel FX, but isn't rotated and is within black rectangle area. How do I align to grid?

@RE4LLYWhen I did Insert Artboard, got extra checkerboard space around my layer elements? I'm guessing I can drag the checkerboard to the black rectangle layer with the arrow key, but why was it added? Your instructions taught me a lot—thank you.

Can I make that layer an artboard; if so how?

When I click align center my image aligns to an artboard outside my zoom 500 layer. And if I use the arrow key to move the sultan, the sultan disappears. Screen shot 2 is after align center. What don't I understand?

I redid the gold gradient map. here it isgold grad map.afphoto

Now that I finally noticed "Add Preset" I'll remake my gold. Thanks @smadell You're a star!

Didn't work. So glad you mentioned library which was easy.

Googled it: To switch between open files in Affinity Photo, use Ctrl + Tab (or Ctrl + Shift + Tab for the reverse direction) on Windows, or Command + ` (tilde key) on macOS. These shortcuts cycle through all open document tabs within the application.

2. I finally found the preset in gradient map. Is there a way to import gradient maps? 3.

@smadellI watched your video a couple times and have questions. 1. Why did you add a mask, as inside layer clips to the top parent layer? 2. How did you get all those cool gradient=maps into your adjustment gradient map? I just get 5 weird maps. 3. Off topic. Do you know a shortcut to filp back and forth between 2 AP files rather than clicking the top tabs?

Now that you've solved that gradient issue —YOU ARE AWESOME— here's the next thing I want to do with gradient maps. Help please @smadell

This is what I'm trying to do. There is a very cool way of using gradient maps to different parts of image. Thoughts on if possible? Here are the other 2 downloads from the tutorial: Texturelabs_Vector_327.eps I'd notice before that there was no way to save or import gradient maps from AP.

Any way to import Texturelabs_5_Color_Gradients.grdinto AP?

I found a work-around. Take a screenshot of my PurRef with images and open it in AP #2. Or just drag a bunch of reference images into an AP #2 Use the color picker above my colors in AP #2 with reference images and go back to my 1st AP. The new color remains on the little circle, above my 2 color circles, which I can click to get the AP #2 color. @R C-R @Old Bruce Q: Is there a quick way to go back and forth between my two APs instead of click the top tabs?
