ubiquity

It seems Affinity is making inroads into Adobe's hold on the "in industry" market - despite being excellent products GIMP and Inkscape still don't have the industry acceptance that Affinity has developed in a remarkably short time. Unfortunately I think Affinity development resources are probably spread to thin to support porting to Linux in the near future.

Did you close, then reopen Affinity Photo for the second image? I realise one should not have to do so but it might be useful to know if it persists.

These work fine if you are using the Frame Text Tool. If you are using the Artistic Text Tool the View/Show Text Ruler isn't an option, but you can get the same result using the Paragraph Panel/Spacing/top left 2 boxes. Play around with them - hover over the numbers & use the mouse scroll wheel to move the text.

Make a rectangular marquee around the top third white area and copy & paste to a new layer. On that layer add a Brightness/Contrast adjustment and lower brightness down to about -46, raise contrast to about 67 (try to match the blues in the girl's shirt)
The rest is mostly cloning
The more time you spend on it the better results you will get
 

Hi RenWaller,
I'm assuming you are using Publisher. Is that correct? With the text frame selected go to menu View ▸ Show Text Ruler, then drag the left indent mark. Left Indent it's what's control the space (make sure the first line indent remains set to zero) in the Paragraph panel, Spacing section.

You seem not to appreciate the notion of copying.
Providing the same functionality is not the same as copying - copying would be to use the same code in the same programming language to produce the same functionality. This is a common misconception for people without an appreciation of software development. Similarly there is a common misunderstanding of the difference between patent rights and copyright. There is no "invention" involved in snapping tolerance and tilted planes - these ideas cannot be patented, which is the "right" associated with invention.
