Project Resources

[richard gold]

I am having trouble finding the 'resources' provided with most chapters in the Affinity Workbook.  In the chapter on Layers, the book says "use File>Open to load 'layers_selecting_moving.afphoto." I cannot plug this address in anywhere on the Open page that will retrieve this file. What is the secret to opening these Resource Files?

Thanks,  Photodoc16

Hi richard gold,
There is an explanation of how to get the resources at the start of the book, on page 9 on the right. Each chapter's files are provided on the beginning of each chapter only. You can easily locate the link looking for the two overlapping files/documents icon on a blue background. For example take a look at page 140 on top: that link contains all the files needed for that chapter. Enter the full URL as appear there on your browser's URL field to download the zip file, unzip it to a folder then use each file as referenced on each page for that chapter (the purple file references on the top of each page inside that chapter).

You can find all links on pages: 86, 140, 156, 174, 188, 200, 226, 248, 266, 290, 314, 340, 366, 388, 406, 424, 448.

Hello MEB,

Thank you so much for the effort you put into that answer. I will follow your leads.

If I may be so bold as to impose one other question on you 'since I sense' you are very familiar with Affinity. I have not been able to use the Layers panels on a RAW file either in Develop Persona or the Photo Persona. Do I have to convert to a JPEG in order to use Layers?

Again thanks,  Photodoc16
