  1. Text in Shape doesn't seem to work- Affinity Photo Mac
    Watched a demo of Affinity Photo on Windows and it shows that when hovering the Frame Text Tool over a shape it changes to a pentagon and one can type in the shape.
    Trying to do that with Affinity Photo 1.6.7 on Mac (High Sierra), the Frame Text Tool remains square or becomes a crosshair and in either case, typing in the shape replaces it with a Frame.

    Is this a difference between Mac and Windows version?
    Is this a bug in the Mac version?
    Might I be doing something wrong?

    Attached is what I saw from a Windows Affinity Photo user.

  2. Perhaps what's needed is an Affinity Photo Resource Guide.
    A listing of all online and in print training and who it's geared for.
    An absolute beginner would know where to go, what's worth paying for.
    Also a list of free resources which range from Affinity's on YouTube tutorials to the several YouTube channels posting tutorials. 

    I do think there's a need for "jargon-free" training for the beginner that doesn't assume one has any prior experience with this or other company's paint programs.
    When a newbie hears the term "unsharp mask" they need to reach for the Babel Fish.

    Sometimes you need to know what's not there as well. I spend half a day looking for "Type on Path" only to finally be told while it's in Designer and even the beta of Publisher, it doesn't exist in Photo (yet?). 

  3. Perhaps my explanation isn't clear.

     

    1) FX Gradient has rotation control

     

    2) Gradient Fill Tool has control by positioning the tool

     

    3) Context Fill Gradient has no control over gradient start and end points. When using Linear it's always left right or right left (reverse). I don't see how to invoke position. I'm I missing something or maybe this control doesn't exist in Context.
