Cathie Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 I started watching the affinity tutorials and in the UI tutorial when the person doing it moves his cursor up a very top line group of actions appears (this is the group of actions that includes filters with a drop-down menu). This does not happen on my copy of affinity photo and I don't see a way and preferences to make this happen. N o I missing something very basic but without it, I can't use affinity photo thanks.

Old Bruce Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 The video appears to be just the Photo Application window so those "...top line group of actions ..." are probably from the menu bar I haven't seen the new one yet, I shall watch it. Are you running on Mac or Windows? Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.4 Affinity Designer 2.4.0 | Affinity Photo 2.4.0 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.0 | Beta versions as they appear. I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cathie Posted June 7, 2019 Author Share Posted June 7, 2019 Mac. If you look at this tutorial --https://affinity.serif.com/en-us/tutorials/photo/desktop/video/301190699 you will see that at 32 seconds he clicks on something and a toolbar with File, Edit, Text, Document, Layer etc pops up. I'm unable to get those options in the Photo Persona. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm unable to get those options in the Photo Persona. Those are the menus. This is a silly question but are you using the Photo app for iPad perchance? If yes then you need to ask in https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/forum/43-affinity-on-ipad-questions/ that is for the iPad version which I don't have. If you are using the Mac application on a desktop/laptop then this little movie will show that you have to wait a bit when you shoot your cursor up to the top of the screen.I usually have the best result if I push the cursor up to the top of the screen and then let go of the mouse, remove my fingers from the trackpad so there are no jiggles happening. I rarely use the full screen facility but a tip is if you hold your Option key down when you click on the third from left button it will change to a 'traditional' zoom/maximize button.
