  1. > I like to look up the new posts a few times a day. Similar here: I have been following the Questions subforum to see if there was something I could help with. I have no interest in doing unpaid Windows support.
  2. Hi Congratulations on the Windows news :-) Wouldn't this be a good moment to untangle Mac AD / Mac AP threads and prepare new forums for Windows AP and Windows AP? Or at least add filters, so that I can't start a new thread without having to decide if it's about APMac, APWindows, ADMac or ADWindows?
  3. Maybe try using the inpainting brush as the first step after opening the picture - just to see if you can get it to work at all.
  4. Thanks - you just saved me having to search for this (history panel had disappered) :-)
  5. http://openglam.org/open-collections "Welcome to OpenGLAM Open Collections.

  7. > "real soon now." source? ;) all I know is that it's on the list of common feature requests https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/10410-common-feature-requests-index
  8. User interface customization is on the list of common feature requests (not on the roadmap yet, though).
  9. > The default settings depend on the spec of your Mac. Ah, thanks. I'll stop bickering about it, then ;-)
  10. > set the View Quality dropdown to Bilinear (Best Quality) Still think that should be the default..
  11. Hi I looked at the FAQ list and this is a more hands-on subject, but it's still a real FAQ: Time and again new users ask in the questions forum * why they can't get the inpainting brush tool (and others) to work. The answer is: you have a wrong layer selected. I'm quite sure the question arises so often because some adjustments (like levels) create a correction layer without the user noticing. So it also affects people who aren't actively using layers yet. Feature request: could you add a warning when people try to use inpainting on a wrong layer? * and this are the ones bothering to register in the forum and start a thread
  12. > wanting this to be a different tool Me too. I'd like to do exactly what Leigh does in the video - my difficulty is that the colour replacement brush doesn't work on white / grey / black / other little saturated colours. I learned some workarounds with the help of other forum members, but still would like the colour replacement brush to live up to its name ;)
  13. > I am beginning to think that Affinity is too complex for my level. Hang in there, it's worth it! See for example http://manuschwendener.ch/2015/12/23/affinity-photo-dodge-tool > I am having the same issue > Impainting brush, healing brush, blemish removal brush If you're new to Affinity Photo and - as I am! - new to working with layers, maybe try the inpainting brush etc. as the first step after opening a picture in AP. Like this you'll get the hang of it and know what to look for when it's disabled. --- A very usual workflow for me is: - I open a picture - I crop it - In the right hand column I click Adj for Adjustments - I click on Levels - I drag the Gamma slider to left left to make the picture brighter - I close the popup from the Levels adjustment - Now I want to remove some of the branches using the Inpainting brush tool -> Inpainting brush has no effect whatsoever :( Solution (see screenshot): - In the right hand column I have to switch from the Adjustment tab to the Lyr. tab - Here I see that the (Levels Adjustment) layer is active <- which AP created and made active without my knowing - All I have to do now is click on Background (Pixel) so this is blue and the (Levels Adjustment) isn't blue any longer -> Inpainting Brush Tool is working again
  14. If the inpainting brush doesn't give the desired result have a look at the burn brush. I've used that to tone down distracting highlights. Dialling down the opacity of the brush makes the effect more subtle.
  15. > Do you know if its planned to develop a Database APP for organizing pictures? Yes, planned, but won't come anytime soon (https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/10410-common-feature-requests-index)
  16. I guess it is bad form to mention some old bugs after each new beta release? Should I rather just give up on them? https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/12394-what-happened-to-topic8799-crop-tool-inconsistency https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/12901-closing-one-of-many-photos-next-active-picture-shouldnt-be-the-one-in-the-last-tab
  17. Sticky settings (remember tool settings) is on the list of common feature requests https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/10410-common-feature-requests-index and should be coming with the next update: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/15749-life-after-14/?p=71757
