Thank you for your prompt attention to this, Sometimes 'roll-outs' of new websites do not go as smoothly as we would hope for. Bob

I,too, registered yesterday and never received a confirmation email. As of today I cannot log-in. Error message says I am not registered. BobMoyer

Thank you for the video. Very well presented. If 'part 2' is still being created, could you possibly include using 'swashes' or some of the very decorative designs that come with some of the fonts. Bob

Thank you VERY much for this 'gift'. It is my first Christmas present this year. I am looking forward to working through the course and if it is as good as the last three I purchased it will help me immensely.

@StuartRc , thank you very much for these vector assets. They are very well done and will enhance our productivity. Bob

Ship should make it to Baltimore on time, but seas are going to be a little on the rough side. Good Luck on your cruise. Thanks for the videos. Bob

FYI, I cannot view the tutorial video nor do they even show up using Windows 7/Internet Explorer 11.0.5 (from the Affinity Publisher page). They do show up however if I use Google Chrome. A minor inconvenience but I thought I would pass this on. Thanks. Bob

Thanks for your input and links. I had watched those videos previously but just couldn't achieve the results I wanted. After trying again, I managed to get acceptable results. All of the pictures I received (to be cleaned up/fixed) were taken with various iPhone models. Seems like only the professionals carry 'real' cameras anymore . Bob

Toltec, Thank you for the quick response. That was one of the things I tried but my results were not as good as yours. It gives me hope and I will try again, I must not have done something right. Bob Edit: I just tried again and got the results I was looking for. Thanks again.

This picture, along with several others from a recent vacation has sun glare or it is over exposed on the left hand portion of the scene. As a novice with Affinity Photo, I know it can be fixed but no matter how many different attempts to fix it I have failed. I did not take the pictures but my daughter 'thinks' I can work miracles (ha, ha). Is there a tutorial that deals with this specific problem? Thank you. Bob

Thank you both for your responses: Alfred - as a beginner/newbie/most senior citizen, sometimes I need a little hand-holding. I can read some things several times and not really grasp its meaning if it isn't worded just right for me. I will read again the suggested items. toltec - thank you for spelling it out...I think I understand what I need to do now. Bob

Beginners questions: What are the differences between those three processes? But more importantly are there advantages/disadvantages of each on a multi-layered photo? Thanks, Bob

Toltec, thank you very much for the advice. After some trial and error on my part, your advice has given me the results I was hoping for. Thanks again, Bob

I have a photo of my two grandsons standing in a green pasture with a bright cloudless sky as the background. I have made a selection using the selection brush and used the refine option to clean it up. I cut/pasted it into a new document with a 'mottled' type of background (the type a professional photographer might use). The new background is darker and I have a very faint light outline around my selection. Questions: How do I eliminate this outline (if possible)? Would the 'grow/shrink/feather' options work? Would I shrink and then feather or vice-versa? As far as making improvements to the photo (adjustment layers) should I do this before I make my selection-cut/paste, or after I pasted this selection into my 'portrait' background? I have viewed so MANY tutorials and even purchased several courses at Udemy but my old brain can only retain so much information. Thanks for any guidance. Bob

I just tried the various suggestions and the one suggested by @toltecworked best for me. Thanks again everyone. Bob
