Installing new brushes on Photo, and saw that I have a 'free macro pack', which says it has light leaks and distortions. And now the amateur question, how do I find these to use them? I found 'assets' tab, which has fog and snow overlays, they are not there.

I can't find those windows updates (not that I'm keen on deleting such things anyway). Is there a fix / patch planned for this?

I also have this crashing issue

Can you take a global colour and change it to a spot colour?, or can that only be done when you are making a new global colour?

Is there a way to make a font selection to take the properties (colour/size etc) of other text on the document? In Illustrator you use the picker tool

In Designer, I've made an artboard, marked guides (by dragging from rulers), but now I want the artboard to be made bigger (equal in all directions) but the guides move - for example I had a guide at 0mm (top corner) but that moves with the edge when I make the artboard bigger, but I want it to stay where I placed it. Is this possible?

Think I have tried all variations of snapping check boxes. This is a basic example of what I'm trying to do - I want the blue line to line up with the highlighted node. It will snap to both outside edges, but ignores the middle vertical

Not sure I understand, do you mean the only is to resize the document and work out the exact pixel to page size proportions?

Drawing with the pixel tool, is there a way of resizing the layer while keeping the sharp edge of the pixels? Sometimes something I drew isn't the correct scale, but resizing it blurs the line

How can there be problems with something like this? The capability must have been there from the start surely?

I typed some text, turned it into curves, my goal is to make a cutting path, but trying to join the shapes together is having some unexpected effects after fighting the E and Y filling in, I get this: but if I click ADD, I get this:

thanks, another noob question and I think it has to do with snapping. When drawing with the pen tool to make a shape, I want the the last point to line up with the first point, but I can't make it so it locks into position (ie so there is a straight vertical line on the left)

Having a go with the trial version, when I select an object it highlights it, but when I unselect it, it leaves a pink outline. It leaves this pink outline on the last few things I select, is there a setting to modify or turn off this?

By clicking the 'create mask' button on the layers panel. Then using the paintbrush to cut out

Made a new file, CMYK, copy an image from online, paste, create a mask. The mask shows as Greyscale in the colour tab, but its not fully masking the image, like the brush isn't at 100% (it is). If I change the colour tab to show CMYK, make them all 100%, it masks fine. 1. Am I doing something wrong? 2. Can I have the mask auto to CMYK?

I'm really struggling to figure out colour palettes in the program. I want to make a gradient, and then use it a couple of times, but Photo defaults to white to grey every time I select the gradient tool, so unless I write down the CMYK I can't easily repeat it. Is there not a way to have the gradient tool use already selected foreground and background colours?

The original files are made in InDesign, which from that I have made a pdf. What I was attempting to do is open that pdf in Affinity Photo, to convert it into a jpg. But I need to be able to open the pdf as a flat image as I don't have the same fonts.

Because main file is at work and pdf (and Affinity) is at home. I collected files for portfolio, but now found out how I am going to use them (sticking them into a free website maker), I can't use pdfs. So in conclusion - what I want, cant be done?

Need to convert a bunch of pdfs to jpgs, but somewhat ridiculously, the program is too clever. It wants to convert all the fonts, is there anyway I can open the file as a picture? So it's not editable? This is possible in the 'other' photo based program...
