Hi kirtonm,
Welcome to Affinity Forums
Make sure you have a pixel layer selected in the Layers panel. Also check if your document is set to RGB8/16 bit in menu Document ▸ Colour Format. If not change the format to RGB 8 or 16 bit.

Nice job! Thanks

Animation shop is hardly a rival and you can find and download it legally from sites like old versions. Here is a link and I do not think the ancient PSP is competition for Affinity products but if the admins think otherwise I have animation shop on dropbox just send me a pm. These are from 2007 when JASC owned PSP and not Corel versions. These are legal.

To put all panels back to their default locations

Gets my vote. Sensible is as sensible does. You can't argue with a one click reset function.

If anyone uses the clone brush a lot and is constantly changing the angle, scale or flipping the selection, you might agree with having a button to reset the brush back to defaults

This occurs first time out of the box only in this beta
The are not all there and appear to be truncated; the bottom half seems to be missing
If you grab the left half of the module and stretch it a bit, the rest will pop into view. Do this for both modules and it will stick

Nice design (from someone who doesn't know anything about tattoos) 

Made a short Video with a simpler way to achieve what you want.
 

Thanks for your effort, it's awesome to see it's doable in AD.

Good catch Alfred although I haven't heard "spelt" in years
Hung and hanged get tangled get messed up We hung a picture and quite often hung the outlaw but the only popper way to describe the outlaw is "hanged" and I believe that is the only time to use that word. I don't thnk one could ever say they hanged a picture. (Well I am sure it is done )

Here is the Copic® Sketch Markers Color Library swatch with all the numbers and names of the markers that you can import into Affinity Photo/Designer.

But at least for some that have expressed themselves in unsavory manner are justifying the behavior because this isn't the first promise APub will be ready and have seen that promise evaporate. While I don't condone the expression of some posters, I do understand the point of the posts.

I saw at least one stomp off in "disgust" You announce "Summer of 2018" did you not? This being July, stomping shoes are not ye appropriate. 
Actually you have until September 23 rd at 1:54 UTC time before anyone needs to dust off the torches and pitchforks
You may add this to your calendar

Thank you @Rick G,
I had (and learned) my share of Y'alls during some time in NYC. But I have never been to the deep south and appreciate your offer very much 
But I am getting very off topic here

Yes Alfred can help with his version and when you get to Yall, Yalls, Yalls' and Yallses I may be of assistance

YES you have a reasonable estimate that was given in the announcement. SOMETIME THIS SUMMER   ...   2018 ... and we have just started July. No amount of crying, pouting, threatening, moaning or cajoling will change that ... and all of those have presented in this forum as expressions of "I want what I want when I want it"
The are going to release it ... drum roll ... when it is READY! and if that means 2019 they will announce it and we will just have to suck it up, (not that I foresee that)
The AMEN is in agreement with the statement that you should keep using what you are using until you actually have publisher in your hands and are satisfied that it will work for you which the first few betas may not
Cheer up and don't lose your peace over it. Let them get the thing finished to where the are ready to unleash it on the world
