Tools disappear

[My name is already taken]

Hi !

First, sorry for my english, I'll try to do my best. My problem is about tools on affinity designer 2. I'm not using it often, and i'm not very good at. 

On the first picture, this is the tools I've got since I bought the software. Impossible to find others tools than those one.

On the second picture, this is the tools who just appears when I opened a new picture. But all the tools we can see on the first picture disappears at the sane time. And I can't find them anymore. 

I'd like to get all the tools in the first and second picture, how can I do this !?

 

Thanks for your help !

Hi @My name is already taken,

Welcome to the Affinity Forums

I can confirm that the Tools shown in your screenshots are the tools available in each Persona of Affinity Designer 2, which can be accessed using the icons in the top right of the app, below the menu options.

The Designer Persona (your first screenshot) contains Vector Tools, such as the Pen & Node tools, Quick Shape tools and Text tools.

The Pixel Persona (your second screenshot) contains Pixel Tools, such as the Paint Brush tool, Flood Fill tool and the Dodge, Burn, Smudge, Blur Brush tools.

You can find out more regarding Personas and the layout of Affinity Designer 2 in the following Quick Start Guide -

I hope this helps!
