So, how can they be downloaded? I repeat, not everyone can access reliable broadband, so it's much easier to have the videos on your system. Yiou're sure you can access them anytime and anywhere. Come on, James, ask the techs to add a download button to the videos so we can enjoy your great tutorials more easily... Hi, all the videos are on YouTube—they're linked in the first post... alternatively, you can get to the channel here: http://youtube.com/c/AffinityPhotoOfficial/ Just a quick update to make you aware of a new video I've uploaded. It still needs subtitling/localisation before appearing on the Affinity website but you can watch it on YouTube in advance: Changing DPI It was created to address some of the confusion around using the Document Resize feature, so hopefully it will clear things up a bit! As usual, the first post has been updated.

Richard Liu Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 I'm not quite sure where to put this question, so, since it arose while I was trying to follow the tutorial on isolating layers, I'll post it here. On my Mac I most often have to option-double click where @James Ritson says to option-click when I use the Apple Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, but the same thing happens when I use only the MacBook Pro's keyboard and trackpad. In fact, very often I have to double click where a single click should suffice. I don't notice this behavior in another application. I'm running AFP 1.7.1.

I have a question about the Inpainting one. You remove the right-hand bird but not the wire it's sitting on, despite some of the wire being covered by the bird. Is that an effect of the non-destructive layer method, or does inpainting create bits of image that aren't there in the original? Hi @Wireman, just to quickly answer this: Photo is taking parts of the wire from the left/right of the bird. It will analyse and try and replace the content in the most logical way, which means it will often "complete" lines or similar subjects. It does this with or without the non-destructive approach. 1 hour ago, Richard Liu said: I'm not quite sure where to put this question, so, since it arose while I was trying to follow the tutorial on isolating layers, I'll post it here.

I'm not on a Mac at the moment so I can't test, but I've never had this experience. I'll have a look when I'm in the office tomorrow. I would have suggested some kind of keyboard setting (perhaps accessibility?) but you say it doesn't happen in other apps, so probably not...

smadell Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Richard... I had a very similar problem with Isolation Mode, and couldn’t figure it out. However, when I turned off Metal Compute, it went away completely.

djh Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 hi james great new videos for 1 7 i appreciate your efforts, i tutor af photo at a senior persons ed centre for past 2 years. what we would like is availability of orininal photos, now i am snipping/jpnt screen, also a transcription of narration so the class can work on tutorial features, tips and hints etc having viewed the video. for 1 6 i had snipped photos for most of the videos and used d straker or cut thru the fog for precis of transcription amended as required. i have numbered the groups in the 1 6 tutorials also the video featured in that group, i then number accordingly the images snipped for that video; makes access in the class more easy like a library. another small request, much as we enjoy your visuality while narrating we would prefer you off photo image at bottom of studio panel. fyi we have 10 in class now, most since june 2 years ago and it appears ours is the only affinity ed centre in nz !!! the only other i know is a camera club; certainly no institutes of photo diplomas etc keep up the good work, good to see others getting on wagon like affinty revolution, but as a pom i enjoy the english accent best regards david helas [djh] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff MEB Posted September 9, 2019 Staff Share Posted September 9, 2019 Hi Frank, Welcome to Affinity Forums Have you taken a look at the first section - Basics - in the first post of this thread? It covers the UI and basic/common operations. Is there anything else you would like to see covered specifically?

Russ2 Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Hi, I don't suppose there is a way you could offer ALL the videos as a download? I use a computer not connected to the net for all my image work and I would like to follow the tutorials on offer, if I could download them I would be able to play on an additional monitor along side my work station. Thank you. PS. yes there is a way to download from Youtube but on last view there are some 69 videos Petar Petrenko 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cecil Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 As always, great videos. As some have posted problems with Affinity & Catalina, could you schedule a Sidecar iPad Pro and Affinity Photo working hand in hand, a great marriage.

Mark Oehlschlager Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 @James Ritson Very grateful for your excellent tutorial videos. Having just watched the episode on Zoom Blur, I'm reminded to request that a layer icon be applied to those layers with Blend Options applied. Either that, or that the Blend Options be made part of the Layer Effects group so that an "fx" layer icon gets applied when Blend Options are applied. It would be helpful to the user (especially when a file is shared in a group workflow) to identify which layers are being affected by Blend Options. Thanks.

p_mac Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Hey James, Would you consider doing a tutorial on the use of the transform tool in Panorama development please? I understand the 5 points in the following way: centre - pins the movement and can be moved to any point on the image. 4 exterior points used to rotate around the centre point but also to increase or decrease image size. As well the specific image can be moved using my finger. However I must be missing something because I find this to be very tricky to use in manipulating that specific image in the pano. Also is there any consideration to be able to add points to the specific image in transformations. Hopes this makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff James Ritson Posted October 22, 2019 Author Staff Share Posted October 22, 2019 Hi all, thanks for your feedback (it is being read!) in this thread. We're rounding off this new set of tutorials with these three: Cropping Straightening Images Procedural Texture: Tone Mapping HDR to SDR More tutorials will of course be on the way in the future—thanks again and hope you find them useful. As per usual, the first post has been updated too.

Pinfold Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 There is no tutorial showing how to actually use this with a photo library on a Mac? There is a tutorial showing how to open an individual file, but Mac uses a picture library in Mac Photos. How do you open all the pictures you have in that library, in the Affinity Photos app, without doubling the storage space used (by importing the library like Lightroom does, which uses 2x more storage space?)
