So I threw a new frame around one of my paintings, especially for my friend Eagle Eye.

Hi Carl123, you are so right - Barnard Castle it is then! The only problem, nobody will trust me enough and lend me a car, so doing a Cummings is off the agenda, so I guess it's back to the "trapezoid" and do another frame so "eagle-eye" will be happy.......what a nice bunch of people we Affinity-ites are. HEY BORIS, IS THERE SUCH A WORD AS AFFINITY-ITE?......oh you don't know.

The Eagles, one of the greatest bands ever. No-one will ever call me eagle-eyed, as I am registered as blind here in UK

Oops! I only just spotted that when you pointed it out......it's my age - 76 tomorrow - give me a break 😝

An extra thank you, now that I have got my mitered picture frame using the "trapezoid, got the angle I needed, and masked left and right elements of the frame. Below is just a jpeg of the piece. I should point out that I am a 76 year old wrinkly, who loves to paint, currently working on a website to promote mt "stuff". I have been using Procreate, but now I have "DESIGNER" on my 12.p iPad Pro, I am keen to see what it all does. Once my website is published, I will post the URL here. Thanks again Gentlemen.

Thanks for your valuable assist! I shall go hunting the the trapezoid tool - I confess I have never used it before Lol

Hi. I am trying to create a picture frame in Designer. I used 3 rectangles and shaded/gradient each to depict a moulded section of wood. My three layers were grouped, but I cannot apply "convert to curves" in order to set up the metered corners. I am doin something wrong, or is it not possible anyway?

A friend's diamond wedding coming up and I want to create a "book of memories" in PUBLISHER and onward to Blurb.com for printing. It looks as though many images will have to be photographed in their albums, whitch might throw up problems with perspective. It seems I cannot find a perspective crop tool in Affinity Photo. Do you nice people have any suggestions on how to proceed please?

Thank you Cecil, all up-to-date

Hello All, I had the updates to all three apps on my iMac and see that updates are available for iPad versions. How to I check in the iPad apps that I have th latest versions please? I am a relatively new user. Also I actually saw a You Tube video that hinted that Publisher is now available for iPad - but that may not be true. I hope you can assist me

OOPS! Never make assumptions. Sorry Jennifer, all I had to go on was initials and got it (very) wrong

Thank you Alfred and jmwellborn Yes definitely pay attention to contextual tools - I had opacity set to less than 10%, all fine now! What a nice helpful bunch of people Affinity users are, (speaking as an ex-Photoshop user). Is the Collie in your avatar your dog jmwelborne? - stunning dog! Thanks gentlemen

Hi I am running Affinity Photo on a Mac , version 1.6.7 Is there an update available, as I don;t seem to get update info? I am having problems with the inpainting brush - it doesn;t want to work. Should I download and re-install the software, if so, what do I need to do please? Many thanks in advance

It seems us newbies here are in good company. I opted for blocs for websites, so it's Goodbye Adobe.

Hello, I am Tony Scott "painTony", well that's how my better half defines me. I'm getting on a bit, but not too old to make changes - I'm a refugee from Adobe, especially now they are getting rid of Muse and shutting down Business Catalyst. Just got *PHOTO AND *DESIGNER and learning through tuts as we speak. Glad to be here!
