Hi V_kyr Thanks for the response. What a shame Affinity have not included or are developing something akin to Lightroom. I will have a look at the suggestions in that thread. Regards Princy

Is there a piece of software which works like lightroom and all your photos are stored, indexed and edited in one big database which is searchable. Maybe I have just missed it in Affinity 2? Regards Princy

HI, I want to create an outline of people How do I do this? I have an old sepia photo, I would like to scan it into the computer and then get the edge outline of each person so that I can type the names of the person. I found the 'detect edges', but I ended up with a very dark page and hard to view the edges. Can anyone point me in the correct direction on how it's done, please?

Hi Thomaso Thanks for the reply. Yes, I've just done something similar to what you suggested. I found that I had to do three corrections (improvements) Haha One missing person, (photographer), another with their eyes closed and yawning haha again. I did take selection brush and capture each piece as required. I then made a mask where I wanted the change to go and put the copied part in. Did it for all three parts and it came out quite well . I'll have another go at it shortly to smooth out the tinyest misalignment. And of course to fix it into my old head. Just hoping I've use the correct temenology above. While typing, I've actually noticed someone two inches shorter than me has , in the photo, grown by two inches above me. so another thing to fix in the second attempt. Regards Thanks for the support with the reply

I'm fine with cutting out, refining and copying or saving a person from a photo. My problem is I need to put an person in the middle of a group of people. I've unsuccesfully looked for the turorial that used to be available years ago. Can anyone please point me to the tutorial or give me an answer. Regards

Well do we have any news on the Scaling of drawings yet? We are considerably further down the line with enhancements, with the exception of rather an important one for people who DRAW. Please any update on this Regards

Thanks Alfred, SOrry but I'm going to have to ask another question. I think when my system became corrupted and died on me so did my own brain. I've converted all the graphics I want into svg as suggested. How do I get them in as assets as a group call 'computer symbols'? I can't find any way to do it! It want's me to put them into swatches not assets. TIA if you have the time. Regards Princy.

Hi Alfred, DanC, Thanks for the replies. OK looked into the kits, none of them had anything to do with computers or networks. But appreciated because I'd actually forgotten about them. Dan, after Getting my better half to dig into some old boxes in the attic, DrawPlus has been found. I have no idea if how to export all the computer icon's etc to be used in the Affinity.. Investigation is ongoing. Thanks for your input it's good to know you are about to assist. Regards Princy

Hi Alfred, Thanks for the reply. Now that's a thought that had not occurred. . Which makes me even more stuck, all my master softwares went with the crash. Do you have any idea if it would be worth asking here to see in anyone did what you said and exported them. Yep what the heck. Did anyone export the computer symbols from DrawPlus? I still have a huge box of DVD's to go through, I may still have drawplus. But will take some finding. Are there any free affinity sources of assets etc. Nice to see you are still around by the way. Still supporting us! Princy

Hi Sob storey first. Couple of months ago I have a crash, could not get much back from my system. All the backups would not restore. Spent a week working on getting it all back up and rebuilt to find it happened again. Cutting it short. I had installed a new sound card into the system and it was this that was causing the crashes. Once removed all back up and running for last 7 weeks. I have at last caught up and want to use my Affinity Designer. Only to find that all my resources have vanished. I have a particular need for the Network symbols and Layout ones . Honestly I have no idea where they came from whether they were internal to affinity or a freebie. Can anyone assist me with this please, where are they, are they affinity, if free where were they from. Any help greatly received. Only assets I seem to have are 'IOS 12'. pretty sure I had quite a range before the crash.

Fantastic news, thanks Patrick. I do hope it will be sooner than later. Stay safe all at Serif

Hi Walt, Thanks, I had just assumed it would have had this like Draw plus did ???? I hope its' on the todo list.... Kevin

I would like to draw a plan for a building where 1 ft life-size is dropped to 1cm on the drawing. Can't find how to set the scale. Help please

Thanks Mike. sorted now. Had to go through 2-3 K of sheets of paper, I knew I had it somewhere. Thanks for the links though.

How do I get my legacy keys for my old serif products. I have a few .pps files that are only in pps format and I need to find them asap and convert to publisher and make changes. Help please where do I look or ask?
