Where is stuff

[Tony100]

I'm just starting out with Affinity. I've used Serif for many years. On the new Affinity the main question I have is where is stuff, e.g. the marquee tool, alter the contrast. When i go to help I don't get the information I need. 

I can't make the facility to open pdfs work. It just says this is not supported.  Perhaps I just don't understand the instructions. 

Can you point me to a what each of the areas on the screen is called

Welcome to the forums @Tony100

The application Help should be able to answer some questions for you.

With the application open, choose menu “Help → Affinity <application> Help” (where <application> is the application you are using, either Designer, Photo or Publisher).

I would recommend reading the first few sections – Introduction, User Interface, and Get Started – before doing anything else.

Also, it’s best to tell us which Affinity application you are using so we can give you answers which are tailored to what you can do.

The application Help is also available online here: https://affinity.help

For example, in the User Interface section of the help for Affinity Designer there is the Interface Visual Reference item. A direct link to the online version is  https://affinity.help/designer2/en-US.lproj/pages/Workspace/interface.html
