[Duplicate objects]

Hi @jackamus,

 

I'm afraid there is no delete duplicate function :(

[RAW import oversaturating colors without any adjustments]

Hi @gilsoncav,

 

Welcome to the forum. 

 

The behaviour should be the other way around unless the profile you're using is "flatter" than the raw image. The Photo gallery app would display the embedded jpeg, while Affinity would open the RAW, with RAW preview. Can you please upload the RAW file so we can have a look for you? 

 

Thanks,

Gabe. 

[Replacing Sky issues]

Hi @jbrent,

 

Welcome to the forums. 

 

You would expect this kind of result if your image is only 640x480. Refine tool mostly works on detecting edges/contrast between your selection. The more pixels you have, the better the mask will come out. On the other hand, on a 640x480, I'm really surprised it's worked this good. You can get away with it by changing the sky to a lighter tone so that it matches the "frost" around the edges. 

 

Thanks,

Gabe

[Exporting slices to one pdf file]

Hi @Agnes D,

 

Welcome to the forum.

 

You cannot have 2 slices on one pdf. A better practice would be to work on artboards. Create 2 artboards instead of 2 slices, and use the File>Export to export the artboards. This would create a PDF with one page for each artboard. 

[Like to print a user manual]

Hi @ajbooster,

 

Welcome to the forum. 

 

You can find the Official User manual here: https://affinity.help/ but you cannot print the entire document in one go. However, one of our community members has put together all of them in one pdf here:

Thanks,

Gabe. 

 

[Cannot resize a document]

[Unable to open image?]

Try to tap on the 3 horizontal bars on the bottom right corner of the image and duplicate. See if that helps

[Unable to open image?]

Hi @Jacmaxwell24,

 

Welcome to the forum.

 

Is that when you try to open a new image? Or when you try to open a project that is already on the welcome page?

 

Thanks,

Gabe

[Notification emails]

Hi @John Rostron,

 

You need to look at the section just below that. You should have 3 columns, 2 of which with toggles. One for notification ( on the forum) one for an email notification. 

 

Thanks,

Gabe. 

[Einezele Elemente in PNG Speichern]

Hallo @Radio Küken,

 

Willkommen in den Foren.

 

Wenn Sie Affinity Designer verwenden, können Sie den Hintergrund transparent machen, indem Sie in Datei> Dokument einrichten> Farbe> "Transparenter Hintergrund" überprüfen.

Wenn Sie Affinity Photo verwenden, gehen Sie zu Dokument> Transparenter Hintergrund.

 

Vielen Dank,

Gabe. 

[Brush deselects when I change opacity]

Hi @jhazel0705,

 

That is a normal behaviour. Technically, when you make any changes to a brush, you're creating a new one, therefore, the one that you selected initially won't be selected. To see this in action, select any brush, click on "More" just by the Hardness Value, now adjust the Opacity, and click Duplicate. If you scroll at the bottom of the brush panel, you will see the newly created brush. 

 

Thanks,

Gabe. 

[Affinity Photo Colours vs Jpeg export]

It would be the sRGB IEC61966-2.1

[Affinity Photo Colours vs Jpeg export]

I personally use DJV View. In the past, I was working with a lot of EXR and image sequence with different channels and this was handy to quickly check it. 

 

I have just seen that you're using a custom sRGB profile. You should be using either sRGB or AdobeRGB. Try to convert it to either of this 2 : Document>Convert ICC profile> and select sRGB or AdobeRGB. On the export dialogue>More make sure ICC profile is set to "Use document profile". Give that a go and let us know how it looks like. 

 

Edit: I suggest you stay away from OpenColourIO unless you work with 32bit images or Linear scenes. 

[How does Affinity Photo store edits?]

Hi @Robert K,

 

Welcome to the forum.

 

AP works a bit different as it's mainly a Photo editing, not a DAM (Like LR). Therefore, some of LR feature will not work on AP( catalogue, later edits, compare, etc). As a reference, AD works more like PS rather than LR. You can, however, edit a photo and continue later, but you will have to save it as a .afphoto file. The system does not have any build in catalogue  

 

Thanks,

Gabriel. 

[unable to select group text]

Hi @Kook Kai,

 

Welcome to the forum.

If you want to select a group, the best practice would be to select it from the layer panel.

 

Thanks,

Gabe. 

 

 

[Plug Ins Gone After Update]

Hi @Bruce Newcastle,

 

Welcome to the forum.

 

If you follow this guide you should be able to install it again. 

 

 

Thanks,

Gabe. 

[Affinity Photo Colours vs Jpeg export]

Hi @HudKol,

 

Windows 10 Photo App tends to alter the image properties. Try to open the photo with a different app and see how that looks. Or try to bring it back to Affinity, on a new layer just above the Raw file and see if there's a difference there.

 

Thanks,

Gabe. 

[raw image luminosity calculation still inaccurate with Affinity Photo]

Hi @Jurgen ,

 

Can you please attach the raw file so we can have a look?

 

Thanks,

Gabe. 

[Affinity Designer - Search or Sort Layers]

Hi @Oshawk,

 

Unfortunately, we do not have a search feature for the layers panel. Sorting the layers alphabetically would not be possible either  It would be more of a manual search. 

 

Thanks,

Gabe. 

[Trying to delete selection of layer, but deletes whole layer instead]

[sRGB Color Space questions]

Hi @Brian_G,

 

You don't need to convert it twice. If you have installed the ICC profile from them already, open the image you need to work on, Click on Document>Assign ICC Profile>Assign the profile. Next, you just export as normal as the document ICC profile would be set to the one you chose earlier.

[Latest Affinity Pro trial version just froze]

Hi @warg,

 

Welcome to the forum.

 

I believe you use the "Mesh Warp tool". What image do you use when you apply the effect? Can you please attach the .afphoto file or the original file so we can have a look?

 

75% usage is not a lot, regardless of the CPU's age, nor the 500MB ram.

[Trying to delete selection of layer, but deletes whole layer instead]

Sorry, @Fixx , did not realize he was placing/copying an image. Haven't had my coffee yet.

[Trying to delete selection of layer, but deletes whole layer instead]

Hi @ricecrispies ,

 

You do not need to rasterize the image to delete parts. You can use the selection tool of your choice. Just make sure you have selected the correct layer.
