I think @R C-R may have explained why you’re having problems: The yellow spiral is nested to the bright green rectangle, so the easiest way to select it is via the Layers panel. If you expand the rectangle layer there, you can select the spiral child object.

The ‘sort of spiral’ curve appears as (r=224, g=224, b=0) here. If it were (r=255, g=0, b=211) it would be magenta, not yellow. The bounding box for the tree group is unfilled and has an unfilled stroke, but the stroke is 1 pt wide.

That version is incorrect. There should be a (white) gap between the hypotenuse of each blue triangle and the neighbouring red stripe.

The app shouldn’t crash, of course, but there are often alternative ways of producing the same visual result. If you’re trying to create the black shape on the right, you could simply draw a black quarter circle on top of a black semicircular stroke.

That meter needle icon certainly isn’t what I would call an obvious pointer(!) to the location of the Preview Mode control.

Welcome to the Serif Affinity Forums, @TJR1. The version 1 Affinity apps are licensed per platform, but they are no longer available for purchase. There is a universal licence as one of the purchase options for the version 2 apps, although that may well be of no interest to you if you’re not using macOS now.

No, you could have left them in situ so that they would be available for lining up the new versions correctly via snapping, after which you could have deleted them (or merely hidden them).

You could use the ‘reduction linocut’ process to create a multi-layer print, but that would be a tedious and unforgiving method!

For the same result with less work, break and adjust the first ellipse and then create duplicates from there.

The beauty of having layers is that you can choose the order in which you do these things! You could draw the bird first and then add the background layer, or you could start with the background and add the blue tit on top (and then, if desired, go back to the background layer and make it completely different).

Here, specifically, if you’re looking for a registration key:

Until now, my participation in this thread consisted of nothing more than ‘liking’ a thread; I don’t consider myself to have participated unless and until I’ve made a post. Since you ask, this topic doesn’t seem to address the use of any Affinity features such as tools, filters, or layer manipulation, so I’m inclined to agree with those who have suggested that it doesn’t belong on these forums. If you want to encourage the reader to view content on another forum, it’s a good idea to provide a direct link instead of leaving them to do the legwork to get to the specified destination. https://punster.me/serif/viewtopic.php?id=526#p3876 For what it’s worth, that image doesn’t really tick the ‘impressionist’ boxes for me. It’s not likely to be mistaken for a Monet, for example!

The option should appear when you already have the 64-bit version installed. If memory serves, the options are to (a) perform maintenance on the existing 64-bit installation or (b) install the 32-bit version. It may be possible to bypass the 64-bit installation by choosing a 32-bit setup program instead of the generic ‘setup.exe’, but I don’t currently have access to the files I would need for checking up on that.

Welcome back to the Serif Affinity Forums, @vectorPhile. Which version of the STIX Two Text fonts do you have installed? The Affinity apps don’t currently handle variable fonts correctly, so you need to install the static fonts instead.

Does your wife already have an Apple Pencil? If so, it’s almost certainly a version 1 Apple Pencil, not version 2, which will limit your choice of new iPad unless you’re prepared for the extra expense of a new Apple Pencil at the same time.

It works for me, and (like @jackamus) I’m in the UK. I’m not sure why Jack is having a problem! I think I actually went straight to https://www.blender.org/download, but the ‘Download’ link on the Blender home page takes you to the same destination anyway.

The ‘Thanks!’ page that I see here says ‘Your download will start automatically. If it didn’t start, download manually.’ https://mirrors.dotsrc.org/blender/release/Blender3.6/blender-3.6.4-macos-x64.dmg The above download (for Intel Mac) is 277.6 MB.

The opposite of text curving from right to left inside the ellipse is text curving from left to right outside the ellipse. If you want the text to face the same way as it was when you created it, you simply need to adjust the Baseline value on the Context toolbar.

You can’t get something that doesn’t exist! Purchases from the Microsoft Store or the Mac App Store are tied to your Microsoft account or your Apple ID, respectively, so there are no product keys because there’s no perceived need for them.

There were clearly some major problems in early releases of iPadOS 17 beta, but I haven’t read anything about whether they were resolved or not. I’ve only recently upgraded to the latest release of iPadOS 15, so those issues haven’t affected me.

I have an iPad Air 2 (so not exactly top of the range!) and I have several hundred fonts installed. I can’t say I’ve ever noticed any problems with font loading in any of the Affinity apps.

We already have an established Unicode symbol for ‘Because’, namely ∵ (U+2235).

It’s easier if you just use one circle with two lines of text. Type the top text, press the Return key and type the bottom text to get something like this (screenshot from AD version 1, but version 2 should be the same): Drag the green triangles to adjust start positions of the two lines of text: Select the second piece of text: Adjust the baseline to move it outside the circle:
