Hello MEB, Excuse the delay in getting back to you - bed beckoned, and then the day's 'affairs' intruded. Anyway the upside is that your suggestion of the re-install worked perfectly and I'm running AP 1.6 at last. It seemed so obvious now. The only odd thing was when I dived in to download the bonus freebies I had to sign out and in again before it accepted me as okay to go. At any rate I'm good to go now - I hope. As an infrequent user I'll likely haunt these pages again in the future. Once again, thanks for your invaluable help. Cheers

MEB: forgot to declare that I'm running El Cap version 11.0.1 and my AP is version 1.5.2

Hi MEB, Just got back. Yep, I did all that you had suggested, including signing in and out of the App Store and AP, perhaps a couple of times at least. Nothing has changed, there is no suggestion of an update to be had. Clicking 'Purchased' just lines up all my apps in a vertical column, and only indicates which are open, installed, or ready to be installed - I think? - if memory serves me. Ciao

Hello MEB, No, I have not got around to having a look at AD as yet. Am only a sporadic user of AP, despite it being a godsend after a few years of forking out for Adobe's CC but using it only for a handful of hours per annum. For enjoyment really, am retired, and don't use it for work.

Thanks MEB and RC-R for your consideration of my dilemma. I did as instructed and went into the App Store, signed in, clicked the updates tab at top of screen, but only brought up the screen informing me of the updates installed within the last 30 days - 3 Safari fixes and a Yoink installed automatically and everything up to date. That's all. The colourful header picture invites me to update to Sierra. I'd like to do that but it rejects me at that point because my MBP is a month older than Apple's support for it (one of Apple's charming points - short working life before near obsolescence). I then clicked on 'Purchased' which brought up a long list with AP at the top: clicking on that only opens AP and the welcome screen which informs only of what's always there. Still somewhat perplexed, but I appreciated your pointers. Thanks.

Hi, I was unaware that there had been an update to Affinity Photo until I opened dpreview's weekly newsletter this morning. Excitedly, I then attempted to find some sense as to how to catch-up and download 1.6 from iTunes and then your site here. To no avail. The 'welcome screen' does not display the 'free offer' etc. Am also a little perplexed by your advice to 'give your software firewall clearance' : I've had this mac since late 2009 and Affinity works fine on it, but am clueless as to why I ought to be aware of a 'firewall', for I have never come across it or sought it out. Another thought occurs to me as I wonder if my macbook's old-hat now and that Affinity 1.6 won't be compatible with El Cap, which is the latest OS that mac permits on my machine. I'd appreciate any pointers.
