Affinity Photo Working with the Topaz DeNoise AI Plug-in The Topaz program/app DeNoise AI, works as standalone program but will also work as plug-in within Affinity Photo. This is a fairly basic look at how it works as a plug-in. With another quick look at Topaz Sharpen AI also, just to see how well they work together. https://youtu.be/Oztnt9mDRLY

Affinity Software – Beginners Guide Photo - Designer - Publisher Finding The Tools You Need If you are following an online tutorial for any of the three Affinity programs and they use in the tutorial a tool you cannot see on your set up. Then this tutorial will hopefully help you find the Tool or Studio tab you need to follow the other tutorial. As Affinity Photo, Designer and Publisher look and act pretty much the same, the info here should work in all 3 programs the same way. This is done on a PC but should be the same for the Mac version. Not sure about iPad versions as I do not own them, but I guess they too are built in much the same way. https://youtu.be/U7mKyKYTXf4

Hi Nancy, Not 100% sure why you are having problems with the 'Styles'. The main difference as far as I can see is the Layer types. An image added via the Place command will be an (image) layer and an image opened as a jpg will be a (pixel) layer. In theory though, both layer types should be affected by a Style. If placing an image works best use that method. I did try the same thing on the owl image I posted above. The Style I used did affect the 'Placed, Image layer' much more than the 'Opened jpg, Pixel Layer'. But if I rasterised the 'image' layer making it a 'pixel' layer the style I used didn't affect it as much. So, I have to surmise that Styles don't work too well with pixel layers, they need vector traits to work on, rather than flat pixel layers. I guess some Styles will work the same on both types of layers. But in truth I really don't know the answer. Sorry -

Affinity Photo & Designer Beginners Look at Working with different file types A look at knowing which file type you are working with and if they are Raster or Vector images. To then know which program is best suited to work with that file type. If you are going to resize an image or alter it in some way, knowing which program works best with what file type could be vital. Looking at .JPG, .PNG, .SVG, .AI and .EPS files https://youtu.be/YDVMm4_AvmY

Affinity Photo Backing Up Your Presets At the time of recording, there is no in-built way to export and save your Photo Persona Presets. Hopefully Serif will add this feature at some point in the future. Partly so we can share our pre-made Presets easily but mainly because, if your Affinity Photo needs to be re-installed at some point, you can get back all your Presets that would have been lost otherwise. It is a lot of work and the more Presets you have will make it a slow process, but you will have a saved file with all your Presets within it. So, when you re-install Affinity Photo or like me get a new computer. You can can open your saved file and one at a time add your Presets back into Affinity Photo. https://youtu.be/cWsrvnTYOU8

Make A Black and White Macro from Olivio’s video tutorial Olivio Sarikas made a video tutorial recently showing 5 different ways to make some black and white images I am using one of those methods to make a Macro, so it will be easier to remember what to do to get the results like Olivio has shown. https://www.dropbox.com/s/mb8e6hniupwc034/Affinity%20Photo%20-%20Short%20But%20Sweet%20issue%204%20-%20Make%20Black%20and%20White%20macro%20from%20Olivios%20video.pdf?dl=0 -
