    enginestar got a reaction from Ron P. in How to make black hair white or blonde?   
    Thanks guys 👍🏼 
    The first link is brilliant
    I can do hair colour replacement in about 5 min I think - just a rough 95% job is OK for me
    I've been through one of her other tutorials so am a little familiar with masking

    Hi @enginestar,
    I'd recommend the following:
    Create your 'rough' selection of the button Navigate to Select > Feather... Using the slider, I set the value to 3px Select Apply, then Cut/Paste/Mask your selection as required 2022-10-03 13-38-16.mp4  
    I hope this helps!

    enginestar got a reaction from Pšenda in Why do I have to sign in for the latest update?   
    I was asked to sign in after the update of Photo.
    Just wondering why?
    Not a problem. Just don't want to see Serif go down Adobe route of making monthly subscriptions.

    enginestar reacted to v_kyr in How to make a background gradient on half of the image   
    screencast.mp4 The above is just one gradient with left side and right side fade in.
    You can also instead of white color let the middle part of the gradient be transparent, so the white background shines too. With middle transparency in gradients you can place another one then top to bottom. Aka a linear gradient which runs horizontal and another one which runs vertical then. So the whole looks finally as to be faded in from all sides, left & right and top & bottom by using two gradient linear fills.

    Obviously you had a placed/ embedded image, which is then treated as a whole image object instead.

    Hmmm Thanks Dan 
    I'll give that a go.
    @v_kyr I think Dan sussed it out.
    I had an image and not pixels.
    See the screen shot below.

    Hi enginestar
    It sounds as though you are editing an (Image) layer and not a (Pixel) layer. To convert an (Image) to a (Pixel) layer, simply right-click it in the Layers Panel and select Rasterise.
    After this, you should be able to copy and paste sections of the image. I hope this helps!

    Attached is a 5 min job using a soft (normal) brush and some blurring
    It all depends on how realistic you need it to look as to how long you spend on it

    Yes. Why not install the 1.7 beta and play with it?
    Arrowheads do not change if you change the length of a line by moving the endpoints. For reusability you can create an Asset from a line.

    enginestar reacted to IanSG in Windows Store or buy direct download? + Using on multiple machines   
    Windows Store apps run in a sandbox environment - you have to change the permissions before you can use AP as an external editor.  Unless things have changed, you can't use the beta version with the Windows Store licence.

    enginestar reacted to Lee D in Windows Store or buy direct download? + Using on multiple machines   
    Due to how the Windows Store version works, it's can't be used as an external editor. You can install it on Windows machines that use the same account, up to 10 devices. If purchased direct from the Affinity Store you can still install the app on devices you own/control.

    @Aammppaa
    Thanks for the reply. If in beta, then all is good. I am happy to use from there.
    No need to try out anymore. I've looked at Affinity for a long time... then went away and tortured myself using Gimp... but have now woken up and have seen the light. LOL.

    Hi Enginestar,
     
    Welcome to the Forums :)
     
    There are trials for the Windows and Mac versions available on our website but there isn't a trial for the iPad version I'm afraid.
