Found a simpler way to do this, I used this website to generate the letter grid: http://tools.atozteacherstuff.com/word-search-maker/wordsearch.php Simpler way.afdesign

You need to make a grid to place each word in, you can use Power Duplicate to make such as a 10 x 10 grid of Text Frames and then type in each letter into each Text Frame. Select The Text Frame Tool Pull out a Text Frame of 10x10mm or whatever size you want Type the letter A and Centre Align and Centre Vertically Now Power Duplicate (Press Alt and drag the Text Frame to the Right or Press cmd+J or Ctrl + J on windows) the Text Frame and let it snap to the previous frames right side. Once you have a row you can select the row and power duplicate the row, by moving a duplicate of the row down to snap to the bottom of the row above. Replace the letter A in the Text Frames with your own combination of letters to get a Grid. You can work out spacing of the Text Frame Boxes to make it look neater, I've attached a file with History so you can scrub back and forth in the History Panel to see what I did.

I'm thinking out loud here, but it looks like the components of the symbols are being relocated. Just out of curiosity, if you detached those symbols I wonder if they would behave as you expect them to and move in parallel with the text. I'd make a copy of the file and test this idea out in the copy. Update: Just tried that and it works, so the issue is that cmd + drag select goes too deep on the symbols and selects the components of the symbols instead of the symbol itself. What cmd + drag select should select... What cmd + Drag select actually selects...

So its not Transparency Per se but actually a form of digital glass, so even though it appears to be nothing it actually has substance.

You can also hold shift down and it will increment in units of 10, got that from a very reliable R C-R source.

It always fascinates me that Transparency comes at the cost of a file "increase" in size when there is actually nothing there opposed to when something is there, so how can nothing be more than something lol! Can't wait for quantum mechanics to be applied to file compression and we start to get minus file sizes because of the use of Dimensional Compression and Flat Space technology, this would be Ultra cool.

A few images and a file with the history saved, just use the History Panel to scroll back and forth in the files history. Text warped to shape.afphoto To be honest until we get envelopes for shapes its a bit clumsy to do but is inelegantly doable.

If you have Affinity Photo you can use the Warp Tool.

@tkarl__nn Actually your Photo album looks better than the tutorial version Looks altogether neater and more professional IMHO so don't do yourself down, learning by trial and error is as good as any technique and usually you find a better way to do things, this can be a double edged sword as you also tend to find the limitations of the software. I agree there are fewer tutorials and if I had more time I'd make more. I'll see if I can create something when I have a bit more time, but at the mo I'm crazy busy at work.

Adobe Photoshop has been around a long time 25+ years, it has a massive user base; I mean huge, it's an industry standard and is dominant in practically every industry that has anything to do with media, people have made a living out of monetising their Youtube account and making Photoshop tutorials, practically everyone who ever uses/d Photoshop has made a tutorial of some sort, so its no wonder there are so many tutorials on how to do stuff. Its feature set alone will keep the tutorialists in business for many years to come, but within the gamut of Photoshop tutorials there are good ones, average ones and absolutely dire ones, volume is not necessarily a measure of quality. You have people who think it is somehow "cool" to play Thrash metal in the background while talking, even when there is no narration that ain't good. Making a suggestion for tutorials to both Vimeo, Youtube and Affinity tutorialists is a start but you have to remember most tutorialists have another life and in a lot of cases have to work out what the requester actually wants to do, in detail, then translate that into a video, that video will generally have elements that have already been covered in other video's but in the video for the requester they amalgamate those snippets into a customised tutorial. Good tutorials take time, a lot of time, and in a lot of cases the person making the tutorial is learning on the fly, will make mistakes and actually show you how to correct that mistake within the video, then the narration, this I think is probably the hardest part of making a tutorial, if you are a fluent speaker you are blessed but for the rest they stumble through as best they can. The best way to appreciate (I'm not saying you don't) a tutorialists efforts is to try and make one you think is worthy of the Youtube/Vimeo Masses, it's an eye-opener and be prepared to have criticisms but if you read them right you get to be a better tutorialist.

I can adjust 2 or more objects created with the brush tool, draw your lines, then select the Move Tool, drag over the objects you want to adjust and move the sliders on the Stroke Panel, you can also edit the brush width by editing the brush width in the Brush Edit Panel. Take a screenshot of what you are trying to do

You might have an image layer, just right click on the layer and choose Rasterise, then try the selection tool again. Also make sure the Selection Tool Mode is set to Add.

Great minds think alike

Using the Node tool, select all of the nodes for the interior shape

Maybe an example of your work would help us understand your workflow and end product.

Affinity Photo is a bitmap editor Supported file formats Affinity Photo is capable of opening many raster and vector file formats. Photo also imports PDF and Adobe PSD files, and exports a range of raster file formats and the PSD file format. File type Open Export Adobe Illustrator (AI) x1 Adobe Freehand (10 and MX) x2 Adobe PhotoShop (PSD) x x Adobe PhotoShop (PSB) x DNG x EPS x x GIF x x JPEG x x J2K,JP2 x JPEG-XR/JXR (WDP/HDP) x PDF x1 x PNG x x4 RAW x3 SVG x x TGA x4 TIFF x x4 WEBP x OpenEXR x x Radiance HDR x x 1 Multi-page files can be imported, with each page being placed on its own artboard. 2 Multi-page Freehand files open with each page concatenated onto a single page. Add file extensions .fh10 or .fh11 in Finder to import. Text import is not supported. 3 For a comprehensive up-to-date list of RAW file support, please see the following links: SerifLabs RAW (Mac & Windows) Apple Core Image RAW (Mac only) 4 Supports transparency.

Couldn't you download the trial and see if you like what you see. As Gear Maker I have a 2011 and a 2015 version and both run Affinity well. I suppose it really comes down to what you actually do with Affinity.

Yes, they do, but they only come in the upside down camera variant at the moment, VIP scientists are working tirelessly on a way to separate the left-handedness and undersidedownedness features and they estimate they will crack this problem around the same time Affinity release v1.7 lol! Update: they did think they'd solved the problem but all they kept getting was selfies

Hi Frank I think we need to step back a little. Firstly what Operating System are you on, Windows 7, 8 or 10, Laptop or desktop or do you use an Apple Computer like an iMac or a MacBook Pro? Secondly, do you have a camera, if so which brand and model is it? eg. Nikon D3200 Generally people import images they have taken either directly from the camera; they plug the camera into their computer, or they take the Memory card out most likely an SD Card and insert that into the computer, the latter saves on the camera battery power. The computer will see the Camera or SD Card and either ask you what you want to do with it or will display an icon on the desktop. We can explain more once we know your Operating System and camera model

John Kettley lol!

Ooh that led me on a trail of intrigue and a journey of learning and discovery

You can use Divide in Layer > Geometry: Divide

I think there is an option to effectively reset the app back to defaults by pressing the Ctrl key while starting the app, this will lose you any customisations you may have set, including added brushes etc. With CTRL key held, when the window appears, release CTRL and click the Clear button.
