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

Sorry, not the right place for this but don't know another way I'm not receiving emails from Affinity I recently charged my email from ********* 26@gmail to 06@gmail. Now I get a message "That email address is in use by another member" Could someone clever sort it out for me please and delete this thread

Thank you. I will look into my V1 if I still have it There must be a few misunderstandings/confusions when people watch a video made for V1 but they have V2

Hello, could someone tell me what happened to 2024? I seemed to have missed Easter, Christmas and new year . Damn birthday seem to happen though I saw an Oil brush called "200 Medium Fibre" being used in an Affinity sketch video and I was lead to believe it was standard/come with affinity brush. However, it isn't in my Brushes. I'm not into brushes [round hard to soft does most of it] but I did like the effect. Can't be bothered searching for similar so I was hoping you could help me out in some way . It's a not life or death thing Cheers Interested ideas in the video 02:00

ROF LOL!! was just about to 🥳 because found it all by myself Thank you Garry for taking the time to help ----- I was beginning to think something had been changed

Thanks mate ; been searching in there but can't see the set ''white and black'' --- what section would it likely be in ?

Hello again , currently setting up a rebuilt PC and what was 2nd nature last week has returned to an Affinity photo mystery . Have to admit I'm getting it sorted better than I expected . White and black colours bottom of tool pallet --- I had a shortcut to reset that (Ctrl + .) or just ''.'' and another to set 50% grey How/where did I originally find to reset colours ? Cheers

Thank you for asking the question and to all who replied --- just what I needed . However ; I still never know what is too much , what is not enough , and what is around about right --- not sure there is perfect edit .

I have crack it folks 🤠 Don't click preserve alpha ----- yep ; that easy!! Thank you all for your help and ideas

Thank you ; will try it and let you know

It's not your fault --- it's my fault 'cause I cannot read and write too good 😅 All I am needing is to motion the leaf (in this case) so the blur goes beyond the outside edge of the leaf. I would also like to added Liquify to the subject Something like the 1st SS below but without three layers and seemingly lots of work-arounds 2nd : one did earlier 3rd : I feel I can take this further by adding blur to the subject Each made from the original single file Have been doing this edit for 10-15 years but now looking for something more ????
