nravenlock Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Do you have a list of shortcut keys. @bazzer901, A comprehensive list of the shortcut keys are listed in the Help. From the Help menu, in the Search field, type "shortcuts". (Please note, this might take a few seconds to list the topics - we are investigating why it takes so long.) Alternatively, from the Help menu, select Affinity Photo Help and then select the Appendix book (last in the table of contents on the left) and from here select Keyboard shortcuts. Thanks.

Maxtog Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 I am a beginner on Affinity, so I play the beginners tutorial video, and I thought I would practice what the video showed. Unfortunately the video shows a tool bar which I don't have set up on my affinity, therefore I can't do what the video shows! How do I set up the toolbar to show the inpainting button?? It is very frustrating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted November 16, 2015 Staff Share Posted November 16, 2015 Hi Maxtog, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) Go to menu View and make sure Show Tools is checked. If it still doesn't display the toolbar on the left, quit Affinity Photo and press and hold ⌃(ctrl) while launching it again. Then select Clear from the dialog that will open. To access the Inpainting Brush Tool, click the Healing Brush Tool's bottom right triangle (6th icon counting from bottom) to display a menu with more tools. The Inpainting Brush Tool is the second counting from bottom. A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trial&Error Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Need to know which video to watch to show me how to do one photo over top of another. e.g. I take photo of cemetery and graves and when a client wants a photo of the grave I do overlay showing cemetery wide shot with a small photo of the actual plaque or grave inset with pointer connecting grave marker to actual location on cemetery photo. I also add text giving Cemetery name, and detailed Section, row and plot number. Initially I had to use two programs to do it then just one but now I am using Mac as main machine I am having to relearn this simple trick. Mac photos I abandoned when it sucked in my photos from old Windows machine and sorted them by date not as I had them in more relevant file folders. I have discovered since installing Picasa for Mac it does the same but also shows my folders. So any guidance would be appreciated. I viewed a lot of videos before getting the Affinity photo program but now I am lost. Plenty of instruction how to cut out of same photo, modify one photo but not how to combine two photos and asking the question requires me to know how the IT people would ask it to get the answer I need. Not their fault but I am sick of wading through pages of video titles and being non the wiser as to which video tutorial I need. I appreciate any guidance. If this is in wrong category please tell me what is correct one so I might learn some answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonatoF Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 @Trial&Error, have a look at the "Placing Documents" video, I believe that will be a good start for what you want to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll need to grab the latest beta from here http://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/12638-affinity-photo-customer-beta-1351/ in order to follow these: Affinity Photo - Haze Removal (Customer Beta 1.3.5.1) Affinity Photo - Accessing Help (Customer Beta 1.3.5.1) The Help video covers how to produce printable versions of topics, so if you've been wanting paper copies to refer to, give the video a watch! This video no longer exists and the new one for Accessing Help 1.4 doesn't mention printable versions of topics. Is that covered somewhere in Help itself?

If you have access to Apple TV, all of our tutorials are also served up there. We'll look at other options and see if there is an alternative solution too. Many thanks for letting us know.

anon1 Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 I just tried out the stacking for reducing noise. I used my iPhone and shot 25 Photos in burst mode freehand. It worked 90% perfect! I´ve no doubt that with a bit more accuracy on my side the result would be perfect. Truly amazing how the noise is just erased - even HUGE amounts of noise! Showed it to some friends and all were very impressed as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamHCB Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 I just tried this too with my Pentax K3. I attempted to send 25 tifs (all together about 3.50 GB) directly from "Edit in AP" in Lightroom and managed to totally crash my iMac for the first time ever :rolleyes: Of course I should have exported the photos from Lightroom first and simply opened them in the Stacking dialogue in AP, but I didn't think of that at the time. Anyway, eventually, the noise reduction was very good, although I'm not sure when I would want to use this purely for noise reduction, as Lightroom does a fairly good job on a single photo without having to create such a large file.

MrKahuna Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Thank you for the videos. If I could make one suggestion I'd ask that you could be more explicit about what you're clicking on or whenever you do something on the keyboard. There have been a couple where I'm just not sure what you've done (and this is in part due to me being a new user I'm sure). For example, at 1:59 of this video you do something that causes the selections in the picture to magically disappear and it's not clear to me what you did: https://vimeo.com/134841742 I can tell you did something because I can hear the keyboard or mouse click but I can't tell what it what although I do see that the little thumbnail next to "pixel selection" goes away.

Staff James Ritson Posted December 22, 2015 Staff Share Posted December 22, 2015 Hi MrKahuna, thank you for the feedback, you make a good point and it's been noted for future videos. I have gone back to the video you linked to and added a shortcut overlay to clarify that I'm deselecting the marquee selection. Hope that helps!

anon1 Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 sidenote to the "Creative Black & White" Video it may be worth mentioning that white balance also has an effect in B/W images - some might think it does not matter and it´s actually a really nice option as well :) Thanks overall for the really nice videos :) PS: I don´t feel to comfortable with the destructive D&B tool...I´ve posted some thoughts here ....maybe I´ll just do some things destructively :) manu schwendener 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
