Thank you Nathan. I did search but ........ I was hoping it just me so I would important

Win11 😑 PC recently rebuilt to be a big and fast photo editing baby ----- in hindsight should have added i7 instead of i5 . For hobby/something to do toy it was already costing more than I could justify Working SS disc 219gb free of 465gb Hello, I truly hope the whiz kids are working to make a better system to build macros that I find a total dog's breakfast as is . For awhile now, Affinity V2 crashes when I attempt to make macros, especially complicated ones, but atm I can't get past copy layer >rename , even though I have just made a previous macro. Have tried making + saving smaller bits of the bigger macro to join together. Have/do try a computer restart ---- very often. I'm sure you need more information (??) please remember I (still) don't receive emails from Ap. Seem too hard fix at your end without suggesting I nicked the app

LOL I never did get it to work and forgot about it Must try again

If I just flipped photo AND the selection at the same , do you really think I would spend so much time working it out and then explaining what I did that no one else has been able to do Read the text; try it yourself and then come up with better way !

If I could, I would delete this thread --- had it's day IMO

HOW TO ROTATING A SELECTION HORIZONTALLY Make the selection as normal Save selection as a File Open new black document the EXACT size as the original photo Add a new white layer ''Load selection from file'' to top layer Add a mask Delete the selection Merge white onto black Rotate the photo. I used the new “select subject” to make a new section Save selection as a file Return to, and rotate the original photo ''Load selection from file'' All done and easier than for 'me' to type out and you to read/understand. I'm sure there is; or there needs to be an easier way. Now that was a real feel good moment for many reason. All Affinity educators are free to use.

Might close this thread and start a new one to explain my work around

Thanks for the comments ; seems a should be easy task made complicated I have a work around to share later/soon

That may be better than the way I have since worked

Thanks, I did work similar out and will share it when I type it up

Sorry, could have added last version of Affinity Photo Left to right --- I know it can done 90 degrees

This must have been asked before (??) Is there a way to rotate a selection . I have found the 90 degrees way however I often want a horizontal flip over Win11 Cheers I don't get emails (seem too hard to change one number in a new address ) so I will need to remember to check back here

Thank you ; I will check that out

Ok, I'm the dummy, what is the icon for "convert to curves" AP v2 In tools or Tool bar With tools, is there away to have the name under the icon? (I don't get AP emails so I have to come to check ---- I might forget if I find it myself

Thank you, and sorry for not replying earlier ---- I don't/can't receive Affinity emails and it seems too hard to be fixed; or they think me is not me You are the second kind person to send me the link (one privately
