Butler To Cats

Thanks Patrick, but not quite a model answer - I had "his" lab for the photographer, being unconsciously sexist. Corrected to "their".
 
My feeble excuse is that I had my brother in mind, who was formerly a semi-professional photographer.

Hello Gearóid
 
Maybe not your problem, but there are two Affinity programs, Affinity Photo (an image/photo manipulation program, think of the GIMP, Photoshop, or a photographer in their lab - but Affinity does it better of course) and Affinity Designer (a vector creation program, think of Inkscape, Illustrator, or a designer with paper, scissors, and a drafting table).
 
Are you, possibly, looking at a tutorial for one program (Affinity Photo screenshot) which has the Arrange and Filter menus but using the other program (Affinity Designer screenshot) which does not? This confusion has shown up before, as not everyone initially sees all the details about both programs.

@wordsberry (and Patrick), my copy arrived today!
Hopefully that means yours is not far away (unless the freight ship has to offload at Australia before loading up and heading over to New Zealand, in which case add some more days).
 
Contrariwise, I'm happy to buy ebooks for fiction (preferably via an e-Ink reader) but for extended learning I also prefer print (and in some cases I've had both to compare) and find it more relaxing.
Different learning styles perhaps?
 
If I want to look up and learn one short discrete item (how do I apply a mask?) your look-up style works for me, but not for extended learning (walking step-by-step through an entire project using multiple techniques) - the difference between a reference manual and a workbook/user manual. I'd be happy with an electronic reference manual, but for a user manual I'd prefer print.

@wordsberry Yes, looking at the reviews, if that is the service used then it's worrying. On the other hand, reviews can be skewed because those happy with the service are less likely to post a review, and many on this forum have been having no problems.
 
Fingers crossed and hoping that it's just somewhat slow. I'll post again when mine arrives.

Hi Patrick and wordsberry! Might still be within 'normal' for this new ordering system.
Mine was ordered on the 19th, confirmed on the 20th, I received a dispatch email on the 25th, and has yet to make it to me in south-east Australia. *waves at wordsberry across the Tasman*
 
Oh well, back to the video tutorials.
Maybe Amazon has introduced a new Halloween scare - fear that your book might not arrive?  :blink:  

From the blocked result: "or you searched for words which are not allowed, such as 'html', 'img', etc"
I suspect the blocked words list is derived from the HTML or CSS code for the forum - "border" features prominently in the page source.
 
Alfred's workaround is successful for just searching the content of the posts - thank you, Alfred!

Hi Chris
 
Even though you are in Pixel Persona, you are still on a vector canvas, so no pixel operations.
However, you can add a pixel layer to the canvas without drawing anything, then your flood fill works as expected.
 

Hi MEB, thank you for the welcome!
 
Trying to address (probably clumsily and with inadequate understanding) Fahad's original request that objects should not be individually available in the layer list, only layers (initially, as I understood it, because just creating objects on the canvas was not organised by layer) by presenting an alternative viewpoint as to why access to the individual objects is important, rather than cumbersome, in a more complex illustration.
More an ongoing exploration of possibilities and examples.
  However, I can see Fahad's request as a potentially useful option for a line art style of sketching, although I wouldn't want it as a default.

Hi Fahad, if you create a layer first before drawing, all new drawing objects are created within this layer until you add or select another layer. This also enables easy selection, control, and modifications of all objects in a layer.
Is this what you are looking for?
