Yes, it's about the "rights of property" the designs are NOT your property, so you can NOT do whatever you want with them. The badges are yours, but the artwork on them is NOT.
You might take a picture of blue-jeans, but if you copy exactly a pair of designer jeans and then sell them, you are breaking the law.
All these examples you are trying to use, to try to compare to what you are doing, in order to try to justify your stealing someone else's designs, are irrelevant, none of those things are the same as what you are doing with someone else's artwork.

I just typed a response, which seems to have disappeared, so I''ll try again.
I'm sorry, I guess I wasn't clear, I didn't understand what you were describing. However, I just found it and you were correct, there was a .5 in the Y integer. Problem solved. Thank you so much!!!
I apologize for being a bit dense about it. 

You should better ask a lawyer before you get into troubles. In fact, the destination is a verry important point. As I already said, you can't buy the intellectual property on someones creative work. You can only get an easement. But you need the explicit approval of the author, in that case. Even if you buy a painting, you are not allowed to publish it. Physical property of a piece of art is a different thing from the copyright. You can proffer as many examples as you want - Jeans, Glasses, whatever you want - you will not change the fact that, if you use a design without permission of it's author, you are breaking the law. And if you do it come hell or high water, so you should do it on your own risk only, and not on a website like this. The operators know very well why they blocked "your" smileys.
Or, as my old professor said: "There is no better way to make money than if someone broke your copyrights, because in that case you are in the best thinkable bargaining position."

To be honest, this seems to be quite a common problem. Many people think that if they buy something that means that they not only own the actual item, but also the right to copy it and distribute the copies to others, that's really what copyright laws are intended to stop: Just because you own a copy of something, that does not give you any intellectual rights in the original item; that still belongs to whoever created it. There's also this, rather strange, idea that just because an image is available online, it is freely available to download and do whatever you like with. It isn't; the copyright still belongs to someone else! It's one thing to use something for your own use, but completely different if you distribute it to other people, either for profit, or freely.

I'm sure most digital artists would be highly delighted to sell millions of copies of the same thing! Actually a lot of fine artists, and, of course, photographers, may sell numerous copies or prints of their artwork. It's usually clear whether you are buying a unique item or one of several copies, and this is normally reflected in the price you pay. It doesn't alter the fact that other people shouldn't come along and start copying your artwork themselves!

This has nothing to do with the digital world. Even in pre-digital times, artists e.g. painted images, wrote books and composed music, and it always were different things to sell the original paintings, the manuscript or the partiture, than to sell printings of the paintings, publications of writings in books or interpretations of the compositions in concerts, on vinyl or CD. An artist can sell his original piece of work and he can make a contract about the rights to use his work, but he can't loose the ownership of his intellectual property (the design, the plot, the melody...). The problem with the digital world is that it has become much easier for everyone to reproduce almost everything in a trice, without thinking about laws and how it should work for creatives to make a living from their creative work.

Well, it's a lot cheaper than buying individual licences - that's a good enough "benefit" for me! 😁

All the licenses (not just Universal) for the Affinity products allow creating art, and selling that art.

They are not "just badges", they are a designer/artist's creation. Trying to compare taking a photo of someone else's art and then selling something you made from that, to taking a photo of a plant and using it to make something and then sell it is ridiculous. If the badges had Disney characters on them would you consider it OK to take a picture and do what you did? Believe me Disney would not agree. You might get away with it if Disney didn't find out, but it would still be dishonest. By using photos you took of someone else's art and selling it as your own you are being dishonest. 
Also, NO you can not use someone else's art just because you paid for it. Let's use Disney as an example again. If you buy a badge with a picture of Mickey, or any other Disney character, and take a picture of it and "create and asset" by setting it up so things can be changed, as you said you did with the badges, it's still Disney's and if they find out they will come after you. You will get a cease-and-desist order and they will go after any profits you made and damages, and they will win!
So now I am also curious, did you buy a Universal License when you purchased your copy of Affinity? Because you can't sell stuff you create with it if you didn't.

Thank you MikeTO, that worked.

justwilliam, I think that having a "Help" explanation open automatically would be great, it would be even better to be able to turn it off if you no longer needed it.

sRGB you'll find in the color management section of the document setup.  It controls what color palette is used for your document.   Where the RGB hex is just part of the color panel to specify a color.  Where an RGB color of say R:142 G: 27 B:31 is a RGB hex of 8E1B1F, 8E is the hex of 142, 1B is the hex of 27 and 1F is the hex of 31.

If I understand this correctly, you have a pixel layer with several black lines, probably created with the Brush tool with various brushes, hardness settings, etc. so they are not solid sharp edged lines. You want to have more than one version of this layer, with identical brush strokes except for their color.
If I have that right, try this:
Duplicate the layer. Select the Paint Brush Tool & a large hard edged brush like maybe the round 128 px one from the Basic set. Any similar brush will do as long as it is 100% hard, 100% opaque, etc. Set the brush color to whatever you want & tick the "Protect Alpha" checkbox in the context toolbar. (See note below if this checkbox is not visible.) Select the topmost duplicate layer & paint over the lines. With Protect Alpha enabled, the brush should change only the color of the lines without affecting anything else.  Note: since Protect Alpha is the rightmost item on the context toolbar, if your workspace window is not wide enough to show it, you can click on the ≫ icon to pop up a submenu with that item on it.

EDIT: added recoloring brush strokes example.afphoto with History included so you can move the History slider back & forth to see the steps I used.

Hi Victoria Lasher,
Welcome to Affinity Forums :)
There's no need to remove the update, It doesn't affect how the application works in El Capitan or older supported OS's in any way.
Actually you will have to update it again soon to version 1.5 and it will continue to work in older supported OS's.

Version 1.4.3 of both Affinity Photo & Designer work fine on my iMac still running El Capitan v. 10.11.6.

Furthering the idea of zakoops - 
 
When I read his reply I immediately had before me the thought that it would certainly be an amazing Affinity ability if there was some key/click combination which one could perform when hovering over a tool or an option in the UI which would open the Help resource to just that part which pertained to the tool/option over which one had been hovering.  Unnecessary for the many who are already competent with the software I am sure, but it would be invaluable for the numerous other 'many' who are but beginners.
Probably too enormous an endeavour, too complicated a task, or merely too time consuming an effort to ever be accomplished but it would certainly get new users up and running in short order and help those with bad memories as well were it to ever be implemented.
 
I tend to have silly ideas like this more than occasionally (probably, more than is healthy).

The change isn't in the current beta build and will be available in the next beta build we release. There is now an extra combo to change the measurement units displayed as well as a place to change your DPI. :)
