> clean up my photographs My suggestion would be: start with a picture that has a relatively easy problem that is bothering you. (Did you get the inpainting brush to work, by the way?) The steps I most often use in Affinity Photo are - cropping * - brightening a picture with the 'Level' adjustment - cleaning up some clutter with the inpainting brush (or, if that isn't working: with cloning and then using the inpainting brush to get rid of the traces of the cloning) ** I write this mainly to show you: Affinity photo is a powerful tool, but it can also be used for basic retouching steps. When you want to straighten a picture, make sure that in 'Preferences - Performance' you have chosen 'View quality - Bilinear', otherwise the result can look wrong. * https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/12394-what-happened-to-topic8799-crop-tool-inconsistency ** https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/10190-photo-replace-one-colour-with-another-like-red-eye-removal-but-with-colour-picker I also found this very interesting:

As a test: open a picture you haven't worked on yet at all, use the inpainting brush as the first thing you do - still no red line? If in this case you _do_ get the inpainting brush to work, maybe this screenshot will help for the other cases: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/16678-inpainting-brush-tool/&p=75620

> what I am searching for is that my custom preset will be the first in the list I'd like that, too: being able to change the order of the dropdown (and/or delete the settings I don't use). (https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/15061-tiny-detail-add-cropping-presets-at-top-instead-of-bottom)

For an example, see screenshot. The four lowest settings are my custom presets. As crabtrem mentioned, you first have to open a picture -> crop tool -> mode -> custom ratio -> enter the settings -> BEFORE you crop your picture: 'Add preset' -> name your preset in the appearing popup window. Being able to set a preset as the default crop setting should come with the next master release (so called sticky settings; no release date announced yet).

Settings reset: deal breaker
manu schwendener replied to marble51's topic in [ARCHIVE] Photo beta on macOS threads
No change in the beta yet, either, as far as sticky settings are concerned. (Tool presets is on the roadmap, though https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/10075-affinity-photo-feature-roadmap ) -
No problem. Scaling down might do the trick (although 1500x1500 px was still too big). Thanks for the tip anyway :-)

Hi I'm so looking forward to getting away from the photos app that I just bought Pixave. First impressions: - They seem to be evolving fast, so I hope they'll add what I'm missing soon. The good: - Customizable The bad: - Zooming with the trackpad gesture doesn't seem to work. I won't really use it until this is added Edit: this is possible now The ugly: - There is a frame around the previews that apparently can't be turned off yet. Argh! :( Edit: there's a chance it will become optional: https://twitter.com/PixaveApp/status/733906989625970688

All I'm saying is: it might be a good moment to split the sub forums; AP and AD were separate subforums before the official launch - that worked better for me than mixing the threads, but of course it's up to the Affinity team to decide what's more practical for them. Affinity Photo is a marvellous product, I'm glad for any new user they get.
