  1. So on several occasions tonight, while manipulating an image, and even if I'm not, all of a sudden, the program thinks it's a briliant idea to suddenly zoom in on my picture. So this would be if I was in the middle of say, adjusting the perspective of the picture while I am draging the handles around, and suddenly, BOOM! Your image is completely ruined because of that annoying issue. Why does it do that, and how do I stop it from happening?
  2. Hi Carl, Thanks for your help. Does there exist a mode where the print will "fill" the entire media?
  3. also even when I crop it to 4x6 ratio, then print on borderless settings, it's still producing an undesirable border on Windows. I do not have this problem on a Mac. The printer is an Artisan 1430. What is causing my grief here?
  4. Hi, I'm still running Affinity Photo 1.10. For convenience, I have it on both PC and Mac. And for further convenience, I have tried printing from PC for the very first time and I definite feel there are less controls on offer. With printing, what is the difference between Fit to Printable vs Shrink to Printable? On the preview, they both appear identical in terms of scaling. I have a source photograph that's not scaled to the 6 x 4 print media I'm using, and I'm looking for the mode that will simply scale it such that it will just fill the entire media and minimising how much gets lost without needing me to crop it myself. I am very sure such mode exists for the Mac, but I can't seem to find the right buttons on the PC. Any ideas?
  5. Sorry I have no idea what MSIX version means. I purchased and downloaded it from the Microsoft Store, if that means anything. It's weird, yesterday that problem went away for a while (nothing noteworthy happened). did not know that! Thanks! Edit: Well that worked. Thanks!!
  6. Hi, I'm using ClassicShell. Not sure if it's a bug on that, but I notice that Affinity Photo is the only app where the icon goes blank if I pin it to the pinned area. Any ideas why this is the case and how I can fix it?
  7. Thanks @carl123, that worked. Unsure why there was an inconsistent behaviour when I did it before without rasterizing (I wouldn't have known to do that).
  8. Hi all, I'm running into this very trivial yet extremely frustrating exercise. What makes it worse is the inconsistent behaviour. On a large canvas, I have imported three photographs taken by my phone. These photographs exist as three separate layers. These are photographs of whiteboard notes that I'm trying to crop unwanted bits out of. My process was: 1. Select the appropriate layer. 2. Invert selection. 3. Delete. For the purpose of this exercise (due to not having the perfect angle), I'm using the Lasoo tool to create the pixel selection. The first layer did exactly as I expected. The other objects, rather than deleting the expected, decides to delete the entire layer. What gives?
  9. Thank you SO MUCH for your quick response. Man, I was pulling out my hair. I confirm that it as an image layer, and it changed to a pixel layer after rasterizing. It then allowed me to delete selections as I would normally expect.
  10. Okay this is ridiculous. Maybe I'm using it wrong. So in my document, I have a layer from a scan. I'm trying to crop off the edges, so with the layer selected, I use the marquee tool to select an area. I press (fn + backspace) on my macbook (which is equivalent to the del key), and the whole layer gets deleted!! What the hell??
  11. Thanks guys. Rotation was 0ยบ and aligned was ticked at least during that second time when it was successful. I'll keep this in mind for future references. Cheers.
  12. Hmm no I don't see any options that is obvious. However I had to reopen the document and to my shock, it works as expected. No more curly erratic and unpredictable cloning reference. Very weird. Bug?
  13. Okay, so I have a general concept about what it does, but I can't really follow or appreciate its behaviour. When I press alt, and select a spot to clone, and as I drag the cursor to clone an entire sweep, how come it doesn't follow the trajectory of my cursor movement? So say, I want to clone an entire horizontal line about 50 px above. I hold alt, and select the start of the line from the left. I then release alt, and place my mouse where to start, and start dragging in a straight line towards the right. The crosshair indicating where it's cloning, rather than following the straight line per my mouse movement, starts dropping (note, my cursor is NOT drooping), to the extent that it actually CROSSES over my cursor from the top to the bottom. I don't understand it. Why doesn't it just follow the direction that I'm headed? I can't find any logic in the tool's behaviour. Am I using it wrong or is there an option that I should select that I don't know of? Cheers.
  14. Okay, new problem. I have a custom brush that is pointing straight down. I want to angle it like a forward slash. The rotation tool only goes from 0 to 50% (seriously, percentage?!) which translates to swinging the brush to the opposite direction. How to I put in, say a "-20%"? Doesn't seem to support negative numbers. Seriously, why only swing in one direction, and why call an angle as a percentage? Hope there's a fix for this!
  15. OMG thank you so much. Any reason why this is not shown by default? I was on the verge of ripping my hair out.
