Thanks for the videos and written instructions. It is quite a complicated tool to use in my opinion with a significant investment in time required to get the basics. I was hoping for something simpler along the lines of Xara (now Photo Magix/Designer) that I use on a PC. I'm a photographer (not professional) and I sure hope the new photo app isn't as complicated as this! Cheers, Chris

Great question to post - this was the very first activity I tried to do. I've done this in half a dozen or more other programs and never needed to resort to outside help. I wonder why that is so complicated to perform in Affinity? What is the significance of the blue bar on the layer? I'm just now trying to locate tutorials that follow some particular order to bring me up to speed. It's possible that Affinity is targeting the Adobe audience rather than more casual users like myself: I'm an engineer and software developer that still needs to be able to draw to get my point across. So was hoping that Affinity would be the platform to move to now that some of the big players are moving to a subscription model (and I won't be going with them!).
