MAIN menu on Affinity Photo for Macbook has disappeared


Recommended Posts

Please help! My MAIN menu on Affinity Photo for Macbook has disappeared and I can't find out how to get it back.  I've opened and closed Affinity Photo. Twice. Rebooted my computer. Opened Affinity Photo again. Still no main menu. 

Any experienced users know what I can do? After an hour of Googling for answers, I'm at my wits end. THANK YOU!

It is possible you are in Full Screen view mode. If so, move the mouse pointer all the way to the top of the screen, pause briefly for the menu bar & 'traffic light' window control buttons to appear on the left, & then click on the Green (rightmost) of those three buttons.

Alternately, when the menu bar appears, click on the Window menu & then clock on "Toggle Full Screen" or use the keyboard shortcut shown there.

You are in full screen mode, something I dislike. To have the window fill your screen and keep the menubar visible hold down the Option key while clicking on the far right 'stop light' button to maximize and keep the menubar.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

Yes! Light bulbs are going off in my head with a mental, "Du-uh!" 😃 THANK YOU! I knew the solution had to be simple. Turns out, it was so simple, it didn't show up in any how-to Googling. 🙏
