Phil P Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 I'm a new user, I just purchased Publisher, Photo, and Designer. I've looked through many tutorials, asked the web, and still can't find an answer to my problem. Where is my text tool? I think it's supposed to be at the bottom of my Toolbar (vertical bar on far left). But it (they, both text took and artistic text tool) aren't there. I'm in Photo. O, for a manual.

JohnZeman Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 You can customize the tools shown in Affinity Photo to add the text tools you want. With the Windows version of Affinity Photo it's Menu > View > Customize Tools. You can also customize the toolbar that's across the top of the screen in a similar manner.

And I see where you can add a column if you want a toolbar with many many tools. Another question: How do I remove a tool icon from the toolbar if it's one I rarely use?

John Z and RC-R, thank you very much. Are there any User Guides, Aff Photo for Dummies, etc. for new users available? I don't think a workbook would be that helpful, plus it's $50 for each persona.

JohnZeman Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 I'm afraid I can't give you a good answer to that question Phil, I'm a former Photoshop user so it was fairly easy for me to get up to speed when I made the change. But when I have had questions the Affinity Photo help pages gave me the answers I needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil P Posted June 20, 2021 Author Share Posted June 20, 2021 Thank you very much for both of y'all's help, I think I've got it figured out now. I just have to keep playing around with things. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
