@k2themax Welcome! Can you make a screenshot of your work, or have you already closed it out? If you have a screenshot, you can place that in a new document that is the correct size to be printed. Not ideal, but it might be better than starting all over this time??

@ClaraLuna Welcome! I have been trying to work with the mockup demo you supplied as a link, with absolutely no success. In the meantime, could you just send your customers email images of sample fabrics? If you already have images of them as JPEGs then you are half-way there. If not, could you take pictures of your fabrics? At that point, there is a very simple way in Photo to do this. I have attached a step by step process. If these are things you already know how to do, please excuse me. I too, have been making face masks, and it is a very tedious process! I do hope this may help.

I had the very same problem back in April, and posted a comment about it. Unfortunately I never got a response. Not only that, but the original document exported as an IDML was set up using pica measurements, but the imported IDML was turned into points. Nothing could be done.

@massive.art Oh my! I will never look at a banana again in the same way. Or a grape. Or a strawberry. Or . . . Fabulous faces! Wonderful colors!!! But Doomd? Maybe Doomed? Love it!

😈 !!

@crayons welcome! If you will go to the Resources Section of these Affinity forums, and then search for “DAUB Pigmento - 84 Natural Media raster brushes” you will find quite a bit of information about them. They can be purchased from Gumroad — at least that is where I bought my set.

@Lajeunesse Bienvenue!! Et bonne santé à vous aussi! En provenance des États-Unis. (French version: deepl.com). 😷😊

@Paresh I purchased and downloaded the Mythical Gradients and then very successfully imported them into my Swatches Panel - palettes. How did you download them?

@Kasper-V My father was an American historian who spent the entire war years glued to the radio each evening to follow the war news. My first understanding of the gravity was when our family stopped at a border crossing between Canada and the USA in 1939 to learn that Poland had been invaded. My father was devastated. He was an integral part of a weekly radio broadcast to people in our State called “Questions and Opinions” designed to help everyone understand all that was happening. My family was most certainly for “Going in” rather than “staying out.” WWII was another ocean away, but very near to us in this way on a daily basis. My sister and I (8 and 7) were writing a children’s book on the day that Pearl Harbor was bombed. It rather interrupted our literary genius for a few weeks and definitely prevented it ever being published — although my father’s publisher (Macmillan and Co) had expressed an interest. The only good thing about the war was that when we had air raid drills or warnings, and the lights had to go out and the curtains drawn, we couldn’t see in the dark to eat the boring food which we were otherwise refusing to eat. My father would announce that we could leave the table. VICTORY of a sort.

Welcome to the Forums! You have posted your question in the Tutorials section of the Forums, which is not the best place to put it for an immediate answer. May I suggest that when you have a question such as this, you post it in the Forum Section: Affinity Support and Questions. Also so many people get confused by the block that says "Title" when starting a new topic. That actually means title of your question or suggestion, not our personal titles (Dr. Mr. Ms. Sir, or our first names). As for your question, perhaps you are in Separated Mode? Or have accidentally removed the Adjustment Panels? I have attached two images for you to look at. Is "WINDOW>Separated Mode" checked? If so, uncheck it. Also, go to VIEW>Studio> and scroll all the way down to Reset Studio. If you click on that, your Adjustment Panels, plus every other panel that is usually on the startup screen should come back. I hope this will help you!! If not, try posting your question again in the Support and Questions Section where someone with the technical skills can sort out your problem, if it is computer-related.

That song still brings tears to my eyes. Being a VERY OLD CROCK, I can remember where I was on VE Day. And we still have bluebirds — my favorites. Although no White Cliffs in my neighborhood.

@Joachim_L Beyond my wildest expectations!!!!! Stay well!!

@Joachim_L No apologies needed. Just thought that new users might be a wee bit baffled, because if one is opening a PDF, one cannot access document setup either before or after the PDF has downloaded. (At least I cannot.) Only the document Spread parameters are available. If one is placing a PDF one can set the document parameters beforehand. 😷

But what three clicks are they?

Welcome @Paul240z! There is a very exhaustive listing of fonts and sources that are available in the Resources section of these forums. I have attached more information here.

@Mr.USGamer Welcome! You write "I cannot import. . ." Have you tried FILE>New and then Place? I can definitely import all formats with either FILE>Open or FILE>New > Place. I am on a MAC.

Welcome @siapec ! If you will go to Affinity Photo Help and enter Undo Brush Tool, you will find a full description of how to use the tool. I hope it will help you get started!

@GarryP Lovely colors!!

Welcome, @yvette! I posted the entry reproduced below in response to another new member’s query several days ago, but hope that it may help you too. The written and well illustrated “Jump into Affinity Photo” should really help you get started. Then the excellent video tutorials will make a lot more sense. James Ritson is most definitely an expert!!

May 5. Gave up. Just wrote the whole 65 pages over again from scratch.

@Patrick Bell I am so glad that it will help you for the interim!!

@Patrick Bell It isn’t a permanent solution, but when you are ready to save a Designer file, could you try Edit In Photo, and then use Save or Save As. Since the apps use the same file language this should work. The only difference would be that your file would then have an .afphoto ending rather than .afdesign. At that point, you should be able to open the file again in Designer and keep on going. Have you been able to try this?

Are you seriously asking us to believe that your hideously over-worked, over-stressed, over populated workers are using their “few spare minutes” to browse the forums? In my under-worked, under-stressed and privileged opinion as a retired person (as I am pretty sure that you are) I note that the over-worked, struggling to help us all, Serif Staff have so far managed to help almost everyone on these forums, along with many very knowledgeable forum members, quite nicely just the way it is. To presume that they should now be wasting their time (which might better be spent designing features that certain people have asked for for several years, or to help all the new people who are coming onboard to get up to speed) to fiddle and twiddle with the Forum design, is perhaps a wee bit supercilious. Just a thought. 😷

OH no! Did he get hit? Is he going down in flames? What has fallen off? Oh my!

Welcome! If you will log on to https://affinityspotlight.com/articles/recent and then scroll down and click on “Top learning articles for Affinity newcomers” then scroll down to “Jump into Affinity Photo” you will find an excellent presentation, dated January 23, 2020 by James Ritson from the Affinity team. You can print this very long article out and I am sure that you will find it a really nice way to get started. It has the added advantage of letting you follow along on your computer by downloading a practice file to work with as various actions are explained. Hope this helps to get you up and running!!
