  1. @MEB It was just the tooltips right now. It it very difficult to learn navigation with the delay when hovering. One of the other members suggested the same setting and it worked. I never thought of or have ever experienced an app with such adjustment. At first I thought it was stupid, but I now see the value in it and will appreciate more as I get more comfortable. I would ask that it be set to no delay as default. More experienced users would likely have known to increase the delay. Thanks for your kind response.
  2. Thank you. I didnt realize and never noticed a delay in any other app. It makes sense to make it adjustable. While I struggled to learn the app with the delay, I can see how someone familiar with it would be distracted by an instantaneous tooltip. As for recognizing the icons, I am trying but they are very small. I like to hover and scan them up and down till I land on the right one. Hopefully, I will catch on soon. For someone who knows they want a "Healing Brush" and they think in that terminology, they likely dont want/need tooltips. But I am still thinking I want to blend the surroundings to cover a defect. I have to stop and think, Affinity calls that process "healing." Thanks for your kind reply. Good to know people can/will help.
  3. I would have never thought there would be a setting for that. You are amazing and saved me from allot of frustration. I have never seen an app where the tool labels are anything but instantaneous from a hover. Why would AP not default to instantaneous? Thank you for taking time to respond!
  4. Has anyone found a solution for the MacBook performance issues? It takes 8-10 seconds when I hover over a tool to display the tool name in the Develop Persona. I am trying to learn the software and its very frustrating. I have a 2017 MacBook Pro 3.1ghz i5 with 8gb RAM running High Sierra.
  5. Anyone able to point me in the right direction. I am trying to teach myself AP and continually frustrated by how long it takes for a basic hover over the icons to display. Its very difficult to learn a process and develop a workflow when you are uncertain what an icon means so you hover on it and wait. Sometimes it takes 6-8 seconds to tell me what the tool is. Is there something basic I am missing? I am working in the Develop Persona on a MacBook Pro running High Sierra.
  6. I am an old photographer but new to Affinity Photo. I am stepping through the tutorials after trying to use the software without first having a solid foundation. Hopefully you were taught like me that there are no stupid questions. Please remember that when you reply. The basis of layers is to modify the document (image) non-destructively and build the image modifications in a hierarchy. that can be switched off/on, deleted or moved. However, to use say the Inpainting Tool, the pixel layer has to first be selected. Am I missing something? So when I use a tool to modify an image, and the pixel layer has to be selected, all changes are permanent (destructive) once they are applied? If that is true, it seems odd that something as profoundly complex as re-touching, ie eliminating a person or object from an image, is basically destructive. Should a print comeback showing a defective alteration technique, one would have to work from where the image is currently and not start over. Please help in basic terms.
