Designer does not have any macro capability. Photo does have macros but they are largely recording keystrokes and clicks that you would make on a menu entry. Macros can also record formulae and I find them especially useful in recording effects from Filter > Distrort > Equations. I have created a fair number of macros, many available in these foruums, but so far, none that I would consider worth selling. John

Isn't that just what a Selection does? Having made your selection, any pixel-based modifications apply only to that area. John

I asked this question, and was given the answer of a simple Publisher document. The invitation at the beginning of the Share Your Work forum invites members to offer their designs for appraisal. This could be for us to appraise the finished product ot the techniques used to produce it. The document offered for appraisal seems very simple, almost trivial in technical terms. (Even I could have created this.) Yet, it seems to have generated a good number of responses (especially from the OP). None of these seem relevant to the purpose of the Share Your Work thread. I would considerer this an inappropriate use of this forum. I would be interested to hear what other contributors feel before I report this to the moderators. John

Perhaps it is because, like me, people cannot understand what you are taking about. Even after googling the phrase. PS, what is the work you are sharing? John

I don't know if this would suit your needs:

You do not say what kind of change you old be making. I would suggest that your solution could be to use html and css. Set the image as the background to a div. Set the contents of the div to the text you want. Use css to set the size of the div and position the text within the div. To change the text, it is just a matter of editing the html. John

That is not how I read the query. What the OP wrote was: "I would really like to see native ARM64 support for my Windows Pro X." No mention of Affinity. John

What has this to do with Affinity? It is a question that should be directed to Microsoft. John

Vectorizaton has been sort-of promised for some time now. In the sense of "Yes we would like to do this but don't hold your breath." Users are recommended to use alternative stand-alone software, see:

Look at:

The selection that you are rotating is only 50 or so pixels across so it is not surprising the the anti-aliasing that it introduces is rather conspicuous. There was already some anti-aliasing in the original image (which will have been optimised for the original position), so adding more will not help as much as it might otherwise have done. John

Use a batch process to convert all these files to 96dpi (or whatever). You could use one of my Change DPI macros to do the job. John

Like others, I'm not too sure what the OP wants. However I would suggest using Resize Document with Resampling and trying the various rescaling algorithms. John

Most scanning software has the option of opening the saved image automatically in the photo editor of your choice. Not what you were after, but it works well for me. John

If, like me, you prefer written tutorials, then look at these from @Blueprint. John

On the few occasions that I needed to do this, I did it as described since it seemed the most obvious way, especially as I have never heard of a cropping rectangle layer. John

To stretch the cropped result, use Document > Resize Document, then click on the lock icon (to unlink the height and width), then enter your desired width in the Width box. OK to confirm. John

I'm sure that this is an Operating System foible and nothing to do with Affinity. I find that, from time to time, my OS (Windows 10 Home), resets the image file types to Affinty Photo File, and I have to go through the hoops again to change it to Jpeg or Tiff or whatever. The problem being that I can never remember how to do that. Setting "Show file extensions" is such a no-brainer that I often forget that there are some Windows users who still do not have this selected. John

Hello @CybrSlydr, and welcome to the forums. Thinking about this from first principles I can think of no good reason to perform the two merges in a particular order. It will very much depend on how the exposure distribution relates to the focus distribution: are your more distant components more or less exposed than the nearer components? This is a case of 'Try it and see' and, of course, report your findings back here. John

This is for MAC only. John

I use Benvista PhotoZoom Classic 8 for enlarging where Affinity won't do it. It is about half the price of Topaz Gigapixel AI (£49 vs £99). John

I would particularly like to see the 'Replicate' tool. This would help a lot when producing many copies of illustrations for children's craft work. John

+1 Include me in as well. John

This is the link from @N.P.M.'s link list that looks most relevant to you: John

I also found that installing V2 did not change the default program to open image files. Having changed the default program, all now opens as expected. John
