Thank you v_kyr. I will work with these later today.

My apologies in advance, I'm sure I'm not using the correct nomenclature to explain what I want to do. My search was quite limited and this topic may have been explored before. I am reasonably familiar with Affinity Photo but have not done much editing work. I want to "paint out" part of my image so the deleted area is "clear" (no background color) and when the image is printed only the paper color shows. I'm not sure if this is easy, hard, or even possible but any help is appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Thanks! This worked. I tried it earlier and I think it didn't work because I mixed up the move and view tools. Trying it again made me look at each step closer and I got the result I expected and needed.

I was able to do this with your suggestion. Thank you.

I want to copy one image beside another, arrange them, then "join/group" them as one image. The equivalent in PowerPoint is copy > paste > arrange > group. Very "simple" as I only want to join the images at the edge (no overlap). I thought I might be able to use the panorama function but there is not enough overlap so I get a "no panorama found" error. I am able to copy/paste but that puts one image on top of the other. I think I should be able to expand the canvas (pardon me if the nomenclature is incorrect) but not the image, then copy the other image beside it. However, I have been unable to do this correctly. Also, if the above works I do not know how to "join/group" the two images, although saving the new canvas with the copied images may work. Any ideas/help would be appreciated.

How do I uninstall the current version of Affinity Photo and install the previous one. The algorithm in the newest version for healing seems to have changed and it makes it very difficult to use for the work I do.

Thanks for your patience and prompt answers.

Thanks for your quick reply. I don't think i was clear and want to be sure that is the case because it is so critical to my workflow. While in Focus Merge and after I have the Merged Result I would like to have the Merged Result displayed on one half of the screen and the selection from the Sources Panel displayed on the other half of the screen so when i retouch I can see the area in the Sources Panel selected image that I am retouching in the Merged result. If Affinity Photo does not have this capability I would like to request it in a future update. Thanks

focus merge, thanks

I tried photo merge for the first time and it is impressive, however, while retouching I would like to have the merged image and source image side by side to better navigate my edit (retouch). Is there a way to do this? Thanks
