using the picker in Photos curves

[juliang]

I am failing to get the Picker to add points to the curve. I note that when return is pressed in Simon Fosters tutorial over the selected point in the photograph a double circle appears. It does not appear on my photo. Any idea why not?

Link to tutorial?

Its actually a paid for tutorial so I have attached a screen grab showing how it looks in the tutorial.

(ps I am learning a lot via the tutorial)

I have not seen that video but from the screenshot it looks like the double circle is being created by the screen recording software to indicate where on the curve he clicked. IOW, it is not a function of the Affinity app, just something added by the software used to create the tutorial.

You should be able to contact Simon via Udemy, and he will happily answer questions about his tutorials.

To get a node to appear on the curve, select the picker by clicking on the Picker button, move over the image and click and hold on a point, now move the cursor slightly and a node will appear on the curve line. Keeping the mouse button held down will modify the images values as you move it around.

'now move the cursor slightly'

Thats the bit I was not doing - thanks
