Yes - but you can change your preferences so it also looks ok before exporting, see post #6.

Hi homeport Maybe try https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/13112-downloadable-affinity-photo-help-135-epub-for-ibooks&p=57603 (haven't looked at it myself, yet).

Hello khoffman Maybe first try the inpainting brush on a photo without layers?

Example 3) replace the white colour on the columns with the dark red of the background --- Update: By now I found - view - apple colour picker to pick the colour I want to achieve - the flood select tool (magic wand icon) - the flood fill tool But - if I fill the white colums with the red of the background I lose the texture of the columns - if I then turn the opacity of the layer down from 100% I get the texture back, but the red becomes too faint

> 4) Check if Affinity Photo ▸ Preferences, Performance tab, View Quality is set to Bilinear (Best Quality) I still strongly think this should be the default! (Tripped me up, too -> just made me think the rotating tool was unusable).

Haze filter is only available in the beta version (or did I miss something?)

Thank you, Andrew. Detail: 'Reset Studio' didn't work for me, but clicking on 'Hide Studio' again did.

Update: turns out my main problem with straightening can be fixed by changing a setting in preferences: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/12954-image-rotation-bug-in-displayed-project/?p=56793

Thanks a lot :-)

> you don't "break" the lines in buildings Turns out that can be fixed in preferences! "in your preferences under the performance tab [set] view quality to bilinear, not nearest neighbour" https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/12954-image-rotation-bug-in-displayed-project/?p=56786

> Yours does though Yes: it's a screenshot of the picture _in_ AP after rotating it. > it's because in the preferences, I had view quality set to 'Nearest Neighbour (fastest)' rather than 'Bilinear (best > quality)'. Oh!!! Thank you for getting that cleared up! What did you set for Dither gradients and Use precise clipping: check or leave unchecked?

Funny: I wanted to add another example (see attachment). When I first wanted to straight that picture I gave up and used the mesh warp tool instead (result http://www.panoramio.com/photo/121475550). But now I realized: the broken lines are only visible _in_ AP; once I export the file the lines are smooth again. Maybe this also happened in post 1? As I can't really see "blocky stuff" in the second picture - or a mermaid, for that matter ;)

Hello Fred, welcome :-) > What is the best way to contact support with questions? I'd say https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/forum/5-questions

> roadmap ... for AP? https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/10075-affinity-photo-feature-roadmap > Feature Requests section It's one pot for AD and AP, so it's best to add AP or AD in the thread title (https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/forum/6-feature-requests) They were separate before the launch; but as https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/12215-split-the-forums https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/10900-splitting-forums https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/11155-separate-forums-for-ap-and-ad didn't lead anywhere I guess having one forum, not two, has more advantages than disadvantages for the serif team.

Thanks :-) (I deleted the part that wasn't relevant any longer after the move)

Thank you, MEB. > The request is to undo the crop to the latest crop's grid position (for further adjustements), rather than to the begining of the whole crop process. Exactly

> You can however add Crop Presets for your custom ratio so that you don't have to start over again. Sticky settings will solve this (https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/10410-common-feature-requests-index)

https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/6374-crop-tool-additional-history-step: link no longer working, but topic not solved: When I crop a picture and then want to change the cropped area I click cmd+z. What I'd expect to happen: See the picture in the size like before the crop, but still show me the crop lines, so I can just drag the rectangle around or adjust its size. What happens: I get to see the picture like before the crop, but lose the lines, the ratio, the setting "overlay none". Background: I use my photos for postcards, the ratio is 148:105. I only see if a crop looks "right" after I cropped - I then often want to adjust it just a little bit - but have to start over again.

Hi Small ux details on the help pages: In the help menu I have to click on the text to open the drop down menu - it should also open when I click on the arrow in front of the text. When I click on the printer icon, the menu disappears on purpose - but I also only get to see the start of the help text. This confused me at first. I'd have expected to see the whole text, just without the navigation. Could you add permalinks for the help topics? Maybe a second icon next to the printer icon? This would allow me to bookmark topics and it could be practical for replying in the forum. Thank you for all the work you put into ap!
