The difference in pt size is probably because the tutorial document is 72dpi and yours is 300dpi, try doing the same image with a 72dpi document and I dare bet you'll be able to use 5-6pt as per the tutorial.

Small celebration. I've now uploaded 100 Affinity Photo video tutorials to my InAffinity YouTube channel.

Mostly, they are for beginners, though I throw in recent discoveries, effects, etc.
To properly celebrate, I'm now off on a photographing jolly, up the American East Coast, as far as Nova Scotia, no less.
TTFN.

Need a way to "Lock" the Guides so the guides cannot be selected when using any of the other tools. 

Shouldn't this do the trick?

The Affinity Publisher 1.7 free public beta is now available for Mac and Windows.
Please go to the Affinity Publisher page and press the "Download for Free Now" button to add it to an affinity store basket.

Affinity is a magic programme. Even a 71 year old can use it (with the help of the Affinity Forum members) When I went to school we did not even have an electronic calculator and computers were a dream in Dan Dare comics. Compare the two images which have been adjusted with affinity tools. The panorama was processed in Affinity from 7 images.  I used MESH-WARP to straighten one lamp post, after the forum members introduced me to this tool. Comments welcomed John Edwin in exile

Hi TheFeralOne,
I agree the Brush Manager is a little limited - it's still the original implementation developed for the app. Unfortunately there was no time yet to review/expand it - the dev teams have been working on/improving other areas of the app (and on other projects as well). They will get to it eventually but you will have to be a little patient - they are working as fast as they can.
 

Well people, I have done it. I've cancelled my Adobe CC subscription. Here's the proof. Anyone else packed it in with them?

(It's a bit off topic, but I can't find a general/misc category for posting my own news.)
 

I'm over the moon to tell you about the launch of Affinity Spotlight, the new place to go for creative inspiration, learning resources and Affinity news. Whether it’s features on artists and photographers using Affinity, tutorials on how to get the best from the apps, behind-the-scenes insight or news and updates, it will all be posted on Affinity Spotlight.
 
We’ve literally just made the site live and we’d love you to check it out!
 
https://affinityspotlight.com

This has been a real labour of love for our web dev team and our content team, and of course, this is just the start—we’ll be posting new stories and articles each week. We hope you like what we’ve done and enjoy reading our stories.
 
All the best,
Kate

Bonjour. 
Ce type d'image est appelé un "paradoxe".
La perspective et ainsi, la perception de l'image, évolue en suivant la trace.
Cela fait travailler l'imagination.
Des représentations qui me fascinent et que j'admire. 
Beau.

Well done1 For a firstr  effort --Amazing!

I know I'm arriving at this party very late (because I didn't see it until now...) but nobody is trying to 'not answer' anything and there are no 'difficult questions' - there are only questions that some moderators may not know the answer to as they're not privy to all information. I'll say this: I'm sitting next to the guys that are writing the DAM... It's a thing.

Here is available a Photo Manipulation Tutorial. Which is not created in Photoshop or neither in Affinity Photo. It is created in Affinity Designer. It will show you how to manipulate a photo in Affinity designer with Pixel  Persona feature. Watch it here : Link

Hello everyone,
I made a series of video tutorials on Affinity Designer. I wanted to wait until I had at least 8 before making a topic on it. Now it's time to show what I put together. These tutorials require some background knowledge in the program. They are not so much meant to teach you how to use it, but they are to teach you a certain way of using the tools. I wanted to have each of these videos be nice and short but informative. I hope you get something from them.
