    ... though I still can't help comparing Publisher with my car:

    My car has so many "features" that, after a year, I am still discovering the nuances of the parking sensor feature.
    It also has all four wheels. My previous car had few features, but it also had 4 wheels. I could use my old car, perhaps with a touch of envy for my neighbour - whose car had lots features, and 4 wheels. I wouldn't envy my neighbour even if his car could fly, if it had a wheel missing.

    Afffinity, to me, can orbit the Earth - but Publisher  has a wheel missing,
    It is SO frustrating !!!>:(

     

    Was the missing wheel footnotes/endnotes?  Publisher 2 has them!

    I have been a professional software user for well over 30 years. In that time I’ve bought 3 houses, 8 cars, numerous changes of clothing, 20+ computers, 13 mobile phones and a considerable amount of software. None of the above came with a discount because I’d bought one before. I don’t NEED V2 but have bought it to continue support for the non subscription model that too many other, not named, software providers have taken on. Sometimes you have to stand back for a minute and realise what is good value for money. The 4th house wasn’t - so I didn’t buy it. 

    I would call this The Closing Argument!

    Affinity 2? When did that happen? And why did Serif not email me that it exists and how to get it? Is it a free update, and if not, do Affinity 1 users get a special upgrade price?

    Could you send an inquiry to the Forums section “Affinity Support & Questions, Customer Service, Accounts and Purchasing.”  You should have received an email on November 8.  Perhaps it went to your Junk folder?   It is a paid upgrade and there is a special 40% discount plus a 30-day trial period.  Hope this helps.

    On Windows, you'll get a prompt, tho. Asking you, if you want to open the original or if you want to create a copy (because once saved in V2 format, V1 apps can't open the file any longer).

    Same thing on MAC.   I am keeping v.1 on my Mac as well as v.2 for the time being.  Right now, as I become familiar with all that v.2 has to offer, or that is new, I create a copy for v.2, just in case I gum things up and want to locate the v.1 file again.  V2 looks wonderful!

    JM,

    Also very cool ... thanks!

    Here is an Asset for the generic snow.  If you import that into your Assets Panel in Designer (or Photo), it has the added attraction of being able to be placed in a small area or the entire image  — in case you want snow on portions only.  Also the Erase Brush Tool (in the Designer Pixel Persona) set to a Masking brush, can very selectively delete bits and pieces of the snow where you choose.

  6. @Mike Nagel Welcome to the forums!  If you want a quick and dirty way to add snow, here is another way to do it.  Not as neat and precise as yours, but definitely snowing!  You can delete any of the pixel layers within the "Snow" group, to make things less intense.  If you would like to try, here is my "generic snow layers " document which you open in Photo, then add your own image below it.  (Made a macro of this, then deleted it.  Going to try again.)

  7. Welcome to the forums @Are Cee.  Is the rough image below what you have in mind?  If so, the steps are:

    1.  Place image.

    2.  With the Move tool, drag a rectangle shape over the top of the image on your desktop.

    3.  In the Layers panel, be sure the rectangle layer is highlighted in blue, go up to the Colour panel, and select the colour you wish to use for your transparent layer.  Then adjust the opacity slider directly above the rectangle layer in the Layers Panel to the amount of transparency you want.  (I used 61%.)

    4.  Go down to the bottom of the Layers panel and click on the little white icon with the black circle inside -  “Mask Layer.”

    5.  In the Layers panel, drag the white Mask layer down and to the right of the rectangle layer so that it looks the way it does in my image.

    6.  Select the Paint Brush Tool, set to a basic round brush, and paint with black over areas you want to be free of the transparency.  If you change your mind, or paint too much, change the paint color to white and it will “erase” your brush strokes and put that part of the image back under the transparent layer.

    I hope this helps and that I have properly understood what you wish to do.
