  1. I used the pen tool to make a shape and then converted it to a selection and painted within it inside Affinity photo. I did not save the selection but deselected it. I see there is a layer called "curve" with my shape in there - Is there a way to re-select it and make it a live selection again? I know I can save the selection - but I'm curious the value of the curve layer versus the value of saving selections and having to re-open them. What can be done in general with that curve layer? I see that I could add a pixel sub-layer underneath it and when i paint, it's contained to that shape, but I can't see the containing shape until I paint near the edge... Can anyone point me in the right direction? thanks!
  2. Hello. I was working with a document in AFDesigner before the last update. There I used line spaced text like "16.5 pt", with decimal values. Today I updated to version 1.9.2 and it is impossible to work with text and line spacing as before. All decimal values (16,5 for example) are transformed into larger numbers automatically (in this case 165). I have the same issue in AFPhoto qith 1.9.2, but not in AFPublisher with 1.9.1 How can it be solved? I attach an example video. problem with line spacing.mov Thank you.
  3. Hi guys, some of you might be wondering if there's a skew or distort feature in Affinity Photo. So in this video, I will show you how to use and where you can find Skew, Distort, & Perspective feature in Affinity Photo. I hope you enjoy watching this video, thank you!
  4. Frosted Glass with Affinity Photo I saw an Adobe Photoshop tutorial similar to this, so I thought I would try it in Affinity Photo. It is a frosted glass look. https://youtu.be/411eLqLJXA8
  5. Please give me a hint. How to make a REAL crop in Affinity Photo? AP remembers all of the original canvas, which is super annoying . Many effects (maybe even all of them) are rendered from the original entire canvas, not the crop area. For example: this is the case with the mirror effect. It is centred but relative to the centre before the crop (of course we can move the kaleidoscope point). To render the reflection, graphic areas are used that are no longer present on the canvas !!! PhotoPlus started with the idea of remembering the original canvas, there was an option to uncheck it. It should be similar in AP, I have no idea where?
  6. Here's my first image post. I started this one in Designer with a pencil sketch in the Pixel persona. Then I created the "ink" lines with the pen tool in the Designer persona. I tweaked the ink line stroke profiles in the stroke studio and finished the art in Photo.
  7. "After a long and bloody battle over the main capital, the female barbarian Helga ascends her throne as ruler over the kingdom. All shall tremble before her iron rule!" Got inspired to make this piece after helping someone with anatomy. Was a lot of work to transform the original sketch into this, but I feel pretty satisfied with how it turned out. https://www.artstation.com/artwork/3dYBlE
  8. I was going through various videos and articles on sharpening to understand it better. One unwanted by-product is halos and there are various ways to remove it. Also, some methods produce harsher areas in the brighter part. Found this video interesting but it is for photoshop. I was wondering how to use it for AP. Only two points are to be mapped for affinity photo. One is Surface blur and another is the Offset and Scale inside the PS Apply-Image dialog box. For the surface blur, AP equivalent is Bilateral blur. For the other two, I did some trials and found as below. In the video, there are two layers - High and Low. High layer is the target and Low layer is the source as far as Apply image command is concerned. Then offset is 128 and scale is 2. To get the same result in AP Apply Image command under Filters, we have to first select the High layer. Then from filters, click Apply image. Then click+drag the Low layer and bring it into the apply image dialog box. Now the equations box will get enabled. click it. Now enter to make like this . DR=((DR-SR)/2)+0.5 DG=((DG-SG)/2)+0.5 DB=((DB-SB)/2)+0.5 Blend mode is NORMAL and not SUBTRACT. Click Apply. Now the result is same as that of PS, in the video. The bracketed step shown in the next line which de-saturates is not a must I think but some videos recommend it. (To the High layer, clip a HSL adjustment layer . In the HSL, move the saturation slider to extreme left (-100%). This is to remove color info from the High layer. Merge the HSL layer with the High layer.) From here, the video can be followed as it is same for AP or PS. Incidentally, the above method is also used for frequency separation in many PS videos with the difference of using gaussian blur instead of surface blur. Here also, the same equations can be applied. (De-saturation step is never done in frequency separation). Since there is a frequency separation filter available in AP , manual method is not required unless one is experimenting or learning. I tried various advanced sharpening methods and found this PS video to produce very good results. With the above workaround, the video can be applied to AP also. If any expert or others on AP equations note any mistakes in the above formula or method, please step in and correct because I do not want anyone to follow wrong methods as I am not an expert in advanced methods of AP.
  9. Hello. I love "Impasto". Can I use "Impasto" technique in affinity Photo? Thank you so much.
  10. This is my first attempt at a black and white image, these are 2 of my cats. Thoughts and feedback much appreciated!
  11. Original and LAB colour space processed image. Converted image to LAB space, added Curves adjustment layer, improved contrast using the L curve, applied slight unsharp mask to L channel, moved A and B curves by equal amounts of 0.25 at both ends (left point to 0.25 and right point to 0.75) Applied Filters>noise>dust and scratches at 1.7 radius only to A and B channels. The above made image sharper, less prominent colours deeper and removed little bit of colour noise that was present. Based on details from one of the best authors on LAB colour space : Dan Margulis First image is LAB processed image and second is original
  12. My first creation using my new XP-Pen Artist 13.3 Pro. Very pleased with this piece of kit and impressed at how must it speeds up the whole process. Not sure how to deal with all these fine brush strokes though? Already caused the program to lock up once last night and file size heading towards 100MB? There must be a way to flatten or something? I tried adding all the brushes in each layer together into one layer, but that ended up increasing the file size and running a bit slow..

  14. With Photo, turned the image of a perfectly lovely adult wooden elephant into a baby, deleted some happy children, repaired his trunk, gave him a curved top of his head, and lost him in a tangle of undergrowth, thanks to @StuartRc's "Shy" assets, @firstdefence's "Light Rays by Dex", some swipes with one of the new Luminance brushes, some tricky(?) use of the Liquify Persona to create the grooves on a new front left leg, and some utterly failed attempts to delete the horizontal lines on the legs. By the time the border was in my sights, I had sundry layers sliding all over the place -- grouped or not -- so I left the black border superimposed with the grouped layers. (Picasso, or somebody else.) Anyway, it just goes to show that although somebody (me) without a smidge of artistic talent can learn to do all sorts of awful things with genius software, the genius software cannot make somebody an artist. I hope the talented people who created these extraordinary elephants pictured in today's "Times" won't mind.
  15. My trial is ending soon, and a I received an email offering a special price to purchase. However when I click through to the website the prices shown are higher than what was advertised on the email. I replied to the email but have not heard from anyone. Where can I get help on this please? I'm ready to purchase at the emailed price, as it would allow me to get Affinity Photo as well as Affinity Designer, which would be so awesome for me! I would love to be contacted by support staff to rectify this... hoping there is such a thing as this seems like great software. Thanks
  16. After making a selection, I lose all graphical histogram representation in the curves tool. To recreate issue: Open file Make adjustment using Curves (histogram is shown) Create a selection (histogram disappears in Curves adjustment tool. Delete selection and problem still exists Delete previous Curves adjustment and problem still exists. Nothing I do, will bring back the original graphical representation on the Curves tool.

  18. Affinity Photo 2021-05-27 22-18-22.mp4 I'm trying to blur the the with motion blur. It seems to be pulling pixels through my selection, which I do not want. I've tried various refine edge, but to no effect. Can someone with some experience, if possible, please help with a solution? I've attached two video screen shots for you to see what I mean.

  19. Use affinity Photo. And sell it online 2 hours of painting.
  20. Hi, When I open a raw file taken with my Nikon D810, the photos look very flat and dull. Is this normal behavior with RAW files or am I doing something wrong? When I open them in other applications, they look as I would expect them to. I've attached a screenshot and a copy of the RAW file to help troublshoot my quesiton. Left is a different application (whose name shall not be mentioned) and Affinity Photo is on the right. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. I'm using Affinity Photo for Windows version 1.6.5.123 and my computer is on Windows 10 with 32gigs of memory. Chris Copy of the original raw file. Fall-2018-photoshoot-1056 - Copy.NEF
  21. Is it possible to specify interleaved vs non-interleaved when exporting to .tif in Affinity Photo? I use Affinity Photo and Designer for scientific work, and many of the image analysis programs I use only accept non-interleaved .tifs. I've got a workaround for now, where I ingest the desired image into mathematica, and then change it to non-interleaved, but it's a clunky solution. Any insight on whether this is possible would be great.
  22. Here is a piece of work I created as an advertisement / poem which reflects on retro technology.All work done in Affinity Photo using the G'MIC plugin and Affinity Publisher. The only exception was the creation of the QR code in Serif PagePlus X9 and the text edited in LibreOffice Writer. See YouTube video at (Time Mark 37:35) to hear it read out:
  23. My device is ipad pro 2020 12.9. When I used develop function to edit my photo, I cannot scroll down these sidebars, including lens studio. I don't know if it is wrong with my gestures, I'ved tried one finger, two fingers. It didn't work.
  24. Brushes have been installing fine but I've just installed a load from the my purchases section in the app and I've manually installed brushes and only some are showing and others are not. When I try reinstalling it says it's installed twice. Running Catalina with AF 1.9.3
  25. Hi there, In the Export persona, is there a way to include a specific layer for one slice only (between various other slices)? So far I know I can exclude a specific layer/group of layers for all slices by unchecking the eye mark. But I want to do like the opposite. For example: I have a usual project file with the original image, various changes in multiple layers and groups. On top of that is a soft-proof profile placed as well as some smaller tweaks for printing. Now if I export those image I want copys for the digital media without those printing tweaks, so I simply uncheck those. But for printing I want a dedicated filename_print.tiff with those printing tweaks applied on top. I know I can go the long road and do two exports but that somewhat defies the logic behind the export persona. And if I try to create a slice from a selection of layers it creates one slice per layer which obviously also isn't what I want.
