  1.  

    ...
    - Written documentation. We are in the process of developing a handbook for Designer and Photo. I think Designer will come first.
    There are no plans to provide printed material, instead an iBook or PDF will be offered from the affinity.serif.com website.
    The dynamic nature of Affinity functionality would be difficult to capture in print form - a printed guide would be out of date very quickly and I think we'd end up with unhappy customers. 
    ...

     

    Would it be possible to offer the written help chapters in AP as _one_ printable document while we wait for a handbook?

  2. > I don't get any notice when I get reply about my question, is there any setting I should turn on?

     

    Check your notification options (https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?app=core&module=usercp&tab=core&area=notifications):

     

    - is "Auto follow topics I reply to." checked?
    - are all the notifications you want to get by email set to "Email?

     

    If it's still not working: is the your email address in your profile correct?

  3. > Interesting architecture!

     

    Yes, they are amazing (Aarhus, Denmark): http://www.dezeen.com/2013/01/15/isbjerget-housing-by-jds-architects-cebra-search-and-louis-paillard

     

    > Did you try using the clone tool?

     

    Now I did. While I can fill the empty edges with it it doesn't look good at all.

    Edit: I just tried the inpainting brush again and now it works on the "empty" parts of the picture :-)

     

    This fixes the sky, but ronnyb's idea of an inpainting option _during_ straighteing would also take care of the fence.



     

  4. Hi macca1980

     

    It's the name that is a bit confusing (there was a thread about it, but it's not accessible since the launch): the colour replacement brush doesn't replace colours, but colour hues. Meaning it won't work on grey/white/pale colours.

     

    As far I can see the colour you pick has to be in your picture already, but I might have misunderstood that (see screenshot: the instructions on the bottom of Affinity Photo).

     

    I posted a feature request for a colour replacement option here: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/10190-photo-replace-one-colour-with-another-like-red-eye-removal-but-with-colour-picker

  5. I use and like the Inpainting Brush a lot to clean up unnecessary details in my pictures. But sometimes I get stuck.

     

    In those cases it would be a big help to just be able to replace the colour of a disturbing element with the colour of the background - leaving the texture alone.

     

    The Colour Replacement Brush does that to some extent, but it can "only" replace one hue with another, thus not working for white/grey/black.
     

    Edit: in some cases dodging or burning the highlights did the trick (learned from the tutorial video 6. Retouching - Enhancing Landscapes/Architecture https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/10119-in-house-affinity-photo-video-tutorials )
