Staff MattP Posted January 14, 2016 Staff Share Posted January 14, 2016 - Disable Haze filter when it is inappropriate What does that mean? I could've been less cryptic, sorry... It means like when there is no document or nothing to apply it to :) Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get a 10 day trial for both Designer and Photo on our website. A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
