my templates wasnt set on the PC... but it still feels a bit weird that one does create on the template section. that feels like it should be creating a new template rather thana new document? Still no assets though? Where do assets sit? many thanks Anne

I want to check that I am working the best way. I have two different desktops, ones is a surfacebook the other an actual PC. Most of my stuff is on onedrive so should be accessible to both machines. I have created a file called 'bullseye kiln fired project master.aftemplate' In it I created 3 master pages and put in there the things that I want to fill in. I put that file in my affinpubtemplates. I set that as my template directory if i remember correctly. (although now im worried i might have only done it on one machine..) I then create a new document and want to use that template but the new document interface doesnt seem to show how to pick up an existing template? So I seem to have to start affin pub 2 then open the template doc and then i have both pages and master pages... Am i missing something? I also seem to have lost my assets... I thought I had made them in my template, when i look under assets nothings there. I have to admit I might done some of the work on the surfacebook and now working on my PC... could that mess things up? I cant remember if thats what i might have done. Sorry.

i dont have any ioS devices at all just windows. This assets iOS thing has suddenly appeared and using up lots of real estate and i cant work out how to make it disappear? I dont use designer too often so its always possible i did something a while ago that caused it to appear... but now would like it to go away:-) sorry if its really simple.. thanks

would this let me have something like lots of linked squares then apply a distortion grid that I can manipulate to get the boxes to grow and shrunk but pull or push the ones next to each other ? like scales on dragon hide e.g.

Thank you meb, yep now it works only after another accidental application o black;-) thanks for the super fast response.

I have placed an image on a doc . I am using a Surface Book. I then toggle the quick mask. Choose the paintbrush tool. And try and paint over the area that I want in my mask either using my finger or the pen, but nothing happens? I tried changing the pixel sixe and zooming right in but still nothing. Anyone any thoughts?. I have been able to cate other sorts of selections and masks just don't seem to be able to use the quick mask in the same way as the tutorial says. Many thanks

I have a surface book as well , most of the time I prefer to use the on screen keyboard and the pen. So am also finding it tricky because there is no mouse. I love affinity photo and my surface book, is there any way to marry the two?. I am new to af photo so there may be many things that I haven't tried yet. On a second note my pen and surface book have pressure sensitivity, is it possible for af photo brushes to use the pressure aspect when sketching and if so how? Can I also say how impressed I am with all the training videos. I have used many tools over the last 20 years, most seriously CorelDraw. But it's the first time that I've not just seen what tools do but whole combinations of what and how to do them as part of the free training. Probably haven't followed enough but anyway I am impressed... Now back to watching some more of them, :-) thanks
