walt.farrell Posted August 19, 2022 Posted August 19, 2022 View > Show Tools, perhaps? But possibly something else would be better. Can you provide a screenshot of the application window in case that's not all you've done?

GarryP Posted August 20, 2022 Posted August 20, 2022 Margaret: You have posted your question in one of the “Bugs” sections of the forums and these are for reporting bugs, not for asking for help after an accidental user error. Please don’t report issues as bugs until they are confirmed as actual bugs in the software. A moderator will probably move this thread for you so there’s no need to duplicate this elsewhere. Quote
Margaret Posted August 20, 2022 Author Posted August 20, 2022 Hi, Walt no that's not working should I uninstall and download it again ? Garry, so sorry about that. Quote

Not a problem, and no harm done, I just thought it was worth pointing out for the next time. (Issues posted in the Questions section tend to get answered more quickly.) One thing that often happens is that people accidentally press the Tab key which, temporarily, removes a lot of the UI. Pressing the Tab key again should restore to UI back to normal. Quote
Margaret Posted August 20, 2022 Author Posted August 20, 2022 Thanks Paul that's seems to have worked will try it later when I have more time although when I change the persona the missing side tools are missing again strange yes Garry I think that's what happened and it was only some of them came up big so I just closed the tool window thinking it would come back as normal will try it all later. Many thanks Quote

That's why screenshots are useful, Margaret. We can recognize aspects of the problem you may not understand, rather than having to guess. (As well as making sure the right terminology is used, e.g., studio panels vs Tools). And if you use the wrong recovery method, it makes full recovery more difficult.

Margaret Posted August 20, 2022 Author Posted August 20, 2022 Yes of course I was worried I just said side tools I meant studio panels will know next time Walt I must of clicked one of the panels on the right came up large so just clicked the cross thinking it will come back. I was wondering if there is going to another update for Affinity photo ? Got the snipping tool now will try get one 🙂 Quote
