To flip your canvas - won't flip horizontal / vertical or rotate 90° work for you? I've got rotate 90 hotkeyed which works quite nice.

Hi @nrx,
Vector masks use opacity (not Luminance) to set the transparency. So in your case change the Opacity (colour opacity) on the bottom of the Colour panel to 50%.That helps, but how to invert the vector mask layer? In the example below I want to use the mask to create a round hole in the green layer, but the mask isn't working like that and there's no way to invert it (presumably because its using opacity rather than 0-1 white black.)
-
If I'm using a shape (circle, pen tool etc.) as a mask, why can't the mask be inverted or its color value changed? It's either on or off, you can't change the fill color to 50% grey for example. You can't invert it. Doesn't matter what color the fill on the shape is, it always creates the same mask.
White fill.
Black fill.
Both create the same mask.(I don't want to rasterize the shape...I want to keep the shape as a way of being able to manipulate the mask)
-
Rasterised later, select a region to cut...paste onto a new later and there's a white border where the pixel selection was. Why? At certain zoom levels it disappears, and it doesn't actually export as part of the image, but it's really distracting seeing that in the canvas.

To scroll through the 3 options just click with ctr+alt+leftmouse button
Only drag up/down to change hardness
Only drag left/right to change size
To fully reset go to the more button on the toolbar and use the reset buttonYeah cool that's it.
Thanks.- Callum and Move Along People

Every now & then when I'm changing brush size using the hotkeys + mouse it'll change to this and get stuck like that. Not sure why it does that or how to revert to changing brush size again. Have to exit Affinity each time it happens. How do I avoid it going into this mode - all I want is to keep it changing brush size.

Another quick example of Refine not working great.
Starting with this image:
Selection brush gives me this:
So I go into refine, do the thing...
And I'm left with a mess...
And this is why I never use refine. Because it almost always frustrates me with the result and I end up doing it manually. Am I missing something obvious here in the Refine settings?

Please can you change it so that when I click ''SWAP'', the labels After & Before also change. Also I've got no idea why you put After on the left and Before on the right - it's so counter-intuitive that way. I'd like Before on the left and After on the right, and even though I can achieve that with the SWAP button, the labels don't change.

Please could you consider adding an eyedropper tool and access to a different color picker? It's so arbitrary how Recolor can't grab colors from elsewhere and how it uses it's own color slider instead of the default color picker I'm using. I'm often using Recolor to get a layer to match the color of something else in the workspace and it's wierd how I have to eyeball the color I'm aiming at instead of just being able to pick it.

If honesty is the best policy then I have to say. . .I avoid the 'refine' selection like the plague. In my experience it makes more work trying to clean up the mess which it produces. For some images it works fine, but when it messes up - it messes up royally. This tool needs some serious improvement before I sing its praises.
Same. I like the idea of a refinement tool - but it's not nearly consistent enough, it almost always produces undesirable results for me.

Thank you, may I ask something else please, I am very new with this all. Is there any other way of using the erase brush tool or to copy the picture without the background to new layer. I have tried the selection tool but it deletes parts of my picture, or takes parts with it. What I mean, how to do it more precise, or is the only way to zoom in and erase with erase brush? Thank you
Can you maybe post an example picture?

Bumping this.
Is there a way to disable the toggle / cycling behavior? I want B to be for Paintbrush and nothing else but it keeps cycling to another tool.
Edit: Found it :).

Affinity Photo 1.7.2.471
Previous versions allowed adjusting font stroke width. Can't find that option anymore. Am I missing something?

Affinity Photo
Two questions:
1.) Is there a reason shapes can't be drawn directly into the layer mask layer? Like if I wanted both a square and a circle acting as a layer mask for just one layer - it would be nice to have that square and circle simultaneously as shape elements on a mask layer so that they could be moved around / scaled etc.
2.) If I use a shape as a layer mask, I can't seem to invert the mask? See the attached image: I want the circle to act as a mask that allows me to see through the gun, but even if I make the circle black first, it doesn't seem to work.

Have been using Affinity Photo for more painting and one of the things frustrating me is the way hotkeys toggle between two tools / the previous tool used. The point of hotkeys is to speed up the process - when i hit 'B' all I want to know is my brush is selected. And yet I find myself regularly hitting B and starting with the eraser or something else I don't want. Pulls me out of the flow.
Any way to resolve this / plans to provide a toggle to enable/disable this?

I use the mouse to click & drag values a lot.
Like layer opacity for example, but the problem is that my cursor hits the edge of my display before the value hits its min or max value. So If I have a 30% layer opacity and click and drag the opacity value to the right to increase it to 100%, I hit the screen edge at say 70%, then have to repeat the operation to get to 100%.Would be a whole lot easier to allow the mouse to keep moving past the edge of the screen and re-appear at the opposite edge. So the screen edges are 'connected' and allow to drag the value to it's min or max without being hindered by an arbitrary constraint like a screen edge. Feature is available is quite a lot of software, would be nice to see it here.
Quicker access to stroke width & color

Any chance of:
1.) Stroke width not being behind a menu? The width slider can just be there on the screen all the time.
2.) Stroke color - why can't this be accessed via the color picker? How about something like right-mouse dragging over the color picker to set stroke color?
Or even a hotkey-mouse combo for stroke width. Or letting those objects be part of the screen customization. I know these seem like little things, but most times when I'm working on something I find the stroke details to be a constant irritation.
Stroke: Instead of this:
How about this where the slider is always visible:
