I have Publisher Beta 2.4 and, after a using it a few days, the Layers Panel disappeared. I have tried turning View>Layers on and off. I have done a Factory Reset. Rebooted the machine. Loaded older documents known to have multiple layers. Nothing has worked. I don't need it. I'll wait for the next beta and use 3 until then. I just thought someone should take a look and see if there's a problem. Thanks!

I had a similar issue with Publisher 2.3. Then I discovered there is NO shortcut assigned to the group command in the Layer menu. Using the menu worked, but CTRL+G, of course, didn't. Publisher allows customization of shortcuts, so I put in CTRL+G and now it works like a champ! If you keep an eye on the Layer palette you can see which objects are selected (they turn color) and when you group them they collapse into a single entry. When you ungroup they go back to their original state. At least that's been my experience (after wasting half a day) messing around with grouping. Good luck -- hope this helps!

Thanks, Walt! You QUICKLY solved my dilemma! I look forward to working with the ever-improving Publisher and Photo!

I just installed Affinity 2.2.0. I glanced at the What's New file under "Help" intending to get back to it later. Now when I click on What's New it now takes displays What's New in Affinity Photo 2 as it did before. Is there any way to discover what new features are in 2.2.0?

Thanks for the quick response! You solved my problem!

First of all I really like Affinity Photo! Great job to everyone involved! I have two feature requests: 1. I would like to see at least 3 Color Samplers like Photoshop. 2. I would like a way to hide the selection border (marching ants) like Photoshop. Thanks!

I have Affinity Photo 1.5.0 installed. When I try to install 1.5.1 I am asked for my email address and product key. I have tried typing it carefully and carefully checking my accuracy. I have tried using Affinity's copy button in the product key and download section and pasting. I have tried clicking the "next" button to skip answering the request. I always get the message that the email or product key in incorrect.

I am back to square one again! The selection brush tool which came back to life yesterday has reverted to its previous state. It does not create a new selection or add to an existing selection made by other tools. I have again uninstalled and reinstalled and rebooted to no avail. I have followed all previous suggestions offered on this forum to no avail. Version 1.5.1 still rejects my email address and product key EVEN THOUGH the same info works on my previous version 1.5.0. I have run out of ideas.

The Selection Brush is now working properly. I un-installed and re-installed the older version then re-booted the machine and now everything works -- everything except the new version still rejects my email and product key whether I type it or copy it. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks for the suggestions. I appreciate it.

All selection tools work EXCEPT the selection brush. Once I make a selection I can cut/copy/paste or otherwise alter the selection. I just downloaded 1.5.1 and had high hopes for a fix to these problems. I can't install it because it rejects my email and the product key even though I have both typed them correctly and used the clipboard.

I have had several beta versions and the Selection Brush tool always worked fine in those versions. I just bought Photo 1.5.0.45 and the Selection Brush will subtract from selections made with other tools, but it will not add or start a new selection when dragged. I have re-started Photo many times and watched the tutorials again and I cannot get it to work in this version. Has anyone else reported this or am I doing something silly? Windows 10 8 gig RAM 2 SSD
