Bob Henderson Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 I am new to Affinity Photo and have purchased the Work book to ease me into it. In the tutorials it requires you to open files from the Menu Bar however I can find no menu bar or any information on how to access it ie toggle it on. Can anyone help please?

Alfred Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Welcome to the Serif Affinity Forums, Bob. I don’t have a copy of the Affinity Photo Workbook, but I expect that it will have been written from the perspective of the desktop user. Affinity Photo for iPad has only two menus, both accessed via icons in the top left-hand corner of the screen.

Bob Henderson Posted December 10, 2017 Author Share Posted December 10, 2017 Thanks Alfred, I think you are right which is a shortcoming of the workbook. Fortunately I have a desktop facility so will pursue my training through that route. So far I am very impressed with Affinity Photo having used Photoshop for many years.

Bob Henderson Posted December 11, 2017 Author Share Posted December 11, 2017 Thanks DM1, I have viewed quite a few tutorials and they are good but after they are finished you have to try and remember how particular actions have been carried out. The workbook is already reference and does give quite a lot of alternative ways of doing things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DM1 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 I agree. It would be great to have a workbook for the iPad version too. Unfortunately there are significant differences in menu structures between the desktop and iPad versions. Quote M1 IPad Air 10.9/256GB lpadOS 17.1.1 Apple Pencil (2nd gen).

Bob Henderson Posted December 13, 2017 Author Share Posted December 13, 2017 I am afraid that this has to be an oversight by the Affinity team as the freehand selection tool is such a useful facility. Maybe someone from Serif can answer this or better still confirm that this will be included in a software upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were you unable to find the Polygon Marquee Tool options that I mentioned in my previous post?

Bob Henderson Posted December 13, 2017 Author Share Posted December 13, 2017 Sorry Alfred I was looking in the wrong area of the screen. I take back all I have said. Thank you so much for that little gem. This is what the forum is for of course. Once again sincere thanks. Alfred 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
