MikeW Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 You're in it. It's a combined AD & AP forum with a iPad sub-forum. DonS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toltec Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 There are a couple of videos that cover the Freehand Selection tool (aka lasso) Google . . . Affinity Photo - Making Selections Affinity Photo - Freehand Selection Tool information on using the pen tool is a lot harder to find. Quote Windows PCs. Photo and Designer, latest non-beta versions.

DonS Posted August 28, 2017 Author Share Posted August 28, 2017 THANKS FOR THE REPLY & I VIEW THEM PRIOR TO POSTING. When I am on the background layer and use the lasso tool I am not making the selection right even thou trying new selection, adding, with any of the selection tools like free hand selection. I Duplicated background copy and still no results. I added a pixel layer and still no results so wanted to see a video and found the two you replied with. On the selection tools I have tried lasso, free hand, and etc with no results. I even brought up a picture and tried the free hand selection tool on the eyes to adjust but the marching ants does to appear when closing the circle. What is really puzzling to me is on a blank white page 8 1/2 x 11 the rectangle tool, Elliptical tool, & lasso works???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonS Posted August 28, 2017 Author Share Posted August 28, 2017 I thought they was a search engine box so you could search for items like pen tool & etc. but have not found the link where this is possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeW Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 When you are in the Questions section (or another forum section, and click into the Search field in the upper right, there is a scope that flies out to the left and defaults to either the forum section you are in, or to all...And you can also choose which section from that flyout.

Set it to 0 and you should see the marching ants again. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonS Posted August 28, 2017 Author Share Posted August 28, 2017 You are so knowledgeable with the forum and helped me out so many times. I have tried to in the url address come up with it so in the forum it takes me to the page so you can search item in the forum but have not found it. Replied above did not take me to a URL with search engine in it. Please supply the link to get to it if you can. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 I think you're looking in the wrong place, Don! If you go to the very top of the page, on the right-hand side you should see your avatar and username, with the Notifications bell and the Messages envelope immediately to the left of that. Below those items there's a grey search box, and clicking on it will make it become lighter (and expand as Mike has described). Choose a different option from the dropdown list to change the scope of the search.
