Hello @Dr Paul, and welcome to the forums.
First, ensure that you have a (Pixel) layer selected.
Click on the Clone Tool in the panel on the left.
(Windows) Hold down the Alt key and click on your source area (or the Option key on a Mac).
Click on your target area and drag or paint.
The pixels under the cursor will be copied from the source area to the target area.
By the way, it helps to use a meaningful title for your post such as "Problem using the Clone Tool".

The font size in the forum is still fixed. I do find it hard to read on my tablet. Changing the default font size in Android has no effect on the displayed text, but it dose change the font size of text I enter myself. I would like it if the forum software had an accessibility option which allowed you to change the body text size.

It is also worth noting that when viewing your image to assess sharpness, you should always view at 100%. Your screenshot is displayed at 111.4%.

On Windows the Registry has information about the program's location. If the application is moved the Registry information must be updated.
Application Mover moves the application files. It also updates the Registry so that the other locations are correct.

Is there some good reason for using 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th rather than First, Second, Third and Fourth? These would normally be more appropriate in titles.
Your question about superscript is still a valid one though.

The approach I would take is to create a two-step macro. The first would resize your image to your maximum size, perhaps using a macro such as I describe here. You can use the steps I give substituting 1500 for the MAXSIZE.
The second stage would be to use Document > Resize Canvas setting both width and height to 1500 (unlocking the aspect ratio).
You could combine these two stages in one macro and call it from your Batch Job.

Hello @CSmith and welcome to the forums.
Have you tried the different resampling algorithms when scaling down to 200px? Some are better than others when dealing with such designs.

Are you sure?
I asked this question myself a few versions back. I was advised by a staff member that I could do so. I installed 1.6 in a separate directory, and I have had no trouble with it.
However I do take your point.

Hello @Henrik Caspersen, and welcome to the forums.
You can install two separate versions of Affinity provided that you install them in two separate directories.

Not sure why would 100% zoom would have anything to do with it - its the same file, same ppi, same size. But yes, there is still an issue at 100%. I took two more screenshots with bottom layers tuned off so that it is less confusing
100% zoom is the only view which maps image pixels to screen pixels exactly. Anything else will have some scaling applied
I'm still unclear about your layers. The top one here is your merged image, the second one down in your layer stack (the top layer being iinvisible). But what is your second image here? I see four individual layers at positions 3 to 6. Is what we see those four layers shifted into the four quadrants?

Hello @PugDog, and welcome to the forums.
If you look at the top left of the Context Toolbar, just below the Affinity Logo for the Photo Persona, you will see four boxes labelled Mode. The second one of these is what you want. It adds the next selection to the current selection. You might also like to experiment with the tickbox labelled Contiguous.

If you scan old black-and-white negatives, your image will be in shades of grey only. Even if you scan them as RGB images, there is no colour information, which is why the black-and-white and HSL adjustmenfs have no effect. I would suggest that you begin by converting your image to greyscale, either 8 or 16 bit as appropriate.
For tutorials try searching for monochrome in the tutorials forum, or google 'Affinity help monochrome'.

Photo neither creates nor will read .xmp files. There have been rumors that the devs are thinking about it but don't hold your breath on this. Maybe in version 2?

The user interface is uninspiring. There is a conspicuous link to Serif Affinity but no links to anything else. I tried searching for a few items, but all I got was a brief cryptic message.

Perhaps you could try to profile your scanner with VueScan.

Affinity Photo does not have a one-click AI selection. You have to do it by the other selection tools, typically using multiple clicks.

@Mrrrky, perhaps you could please explain what you mean by 'Select Subject'.

Again, all I see is dark grey on black. Are there supposed to be colours?

Are these actual files or are they screenshots? They all look the same to me, mostly black with patches of grey.

Hello @4inarin88, and welcome to the forums.
Version 1.9.2 is available for download now. Updates (1.9.3 ...) are issued free.
When version 2 is issued it will be at full price. There is no expected date for this and it is expected to be some time in the future.

I do not believe you can do this. However, if you can send images to your PC from your camera, then it could be possible to configure your PC so that newly created images on your PC are automatically opened in Affiity Photo. I'm only guessing at this, based on my observation that newly created tiff files from my scanner will automatically open in Photo. Photo is the default program to open tiff files.

Hello @Ericwm, and welcome to the forums.
You will not be able to access the Affinity/Serif WiFi unless you are within or near the Serif HQ and they tell you the access password.
Are you sure that this is what you are asking for?

Hello @elise french.
Unfortunately, jpg does not support transparency. You will need to export as a png or tiff to do that. Depending on your workload, you should be able to copy an image (with transparency) from Photo to Publisher.
It would help to attract the right answers if you changed your Title to something meaningful, such as "exporting with transparency".
