A shot in the dark: have you tried cloning as a workaround?
When retouching doesn't work for me it's usually because the wrong layer is active. In rare cases because the correct layer is active, but locked <- both happen as by-products of some other steps while I'm editing the picture.

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

From https://affinity.serif.com/blog/affinity-at-the-photography-show-2016:"... the accuracy of cutting subjects from background ..."
I've been using two methods so far:
- Filter - Colours - Erase White Paper
- Selection Brush Tool (
)Does the blog text mean one of these? Or is there another way?

> 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).
-
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).
-
-
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 :-)

> easily manage EXIF
Pixave displays the EXIF data - but maybe by 'manage' you mean something else.

Not working well for me, no. Keeps freezing.

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

Did you try the Inpainting Brush Tool? It's not always the solution, but it's certainly where I'd start.
-
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.

> 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.

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?- MacGueurle and markw

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.

The color replacing brush should be called hue replacing brush - I'd be using an actual color replacing brush all the time.
