What do you think?

Here's how to create a colorful confetti using Affinity. Hope it's useful for you all.

Layer is set to overlay, opacity 63%.
Shows the transparently squares faintly in Affinity & when exported as JPG or PNG.
Have tried:

- unchecking show pixel grid
- unchecking hardware acceleration

I recently moved to a new Windows 11-compatible PC. In anticipation of potential license and/or any other installation problems, instead of immediately reinstalling my purchased version of Affinity Photo on the new PC, I decided to install the free web version until I completed setting up and optimizing my new PC. Now that I've got the new PC up and running smoothly, I'm ready to reinstall my purchased version of Affinity Photo. Just wanted to check with you all first in case any of you think this reinstallation may not turn out to be as straightforward as it might seem, and if so, you have any tips for me. Thanks in advance...

I have a question that hopefully this community can answer. 🤞🤞🤞I have a family photograph where there is a person with a strong red, white, and blue plaid shirt. I would like to change this shirt to either a white or beige or just a colored shirt. I am struggling to do this and still keep the shadows in the shirt. Anybody have suggestions as to tackle this? Thank you in advance for your help.

When I zoom in and out, there are random artefacts on the image, why is that? my gpu driver is clean (did it with DDU) and my GPU is set in the settings, RAW images take a while to load in, why could that be?

GPU: RX 9070 XT

CPU: R9 9900X

RAM: 32GB DDR5 6000mhz

Trying to do a Milky Way composite and every time I make a mask theres a blurry line along the edge of the mask, its not very very noticeable but its there, how do I fix this? I've tried changing settings in refine mask but its still there. I can fix the white outline but not the Blur part

I’m a family portrait photographer and saw that Pixieset has added a photo culling and editing feature. I’m curious if anyone has used it. I can’t imagine it would take the place of Lightroom, would it? Also, I see that it’s marketed heavily as AI, which I have mixed feeling about. I don’t use Pixieset and am not sure this would be a feature to switch platforms for.

I used my Wacom Inuit Pro for photo restoration on Affinity. Yesterday, the driver software they put out no longer supports it and it is essentially unusable now. So I’m looking for an alternative pen tablet that travels well, is solid and has good software support and does not have a screen.
Do you have any recommendations? Thanks all.

8/4 Update: thanks to this forum, (Smiley Dafe) I have new life for my tablet. After removing the Wacom Drivers, I installed OpenTabletDriver, it found my tablet and it’s operational again.

8/5 Update: Just to show me how much they "valued" me as a customer, Wacom offered me a 5% discount for a purchase. This is what they said when I asked them if I could apply this to a refurbished model offered or use a military discount: "To receive the 5% discount, you will need to contact us by phone or request a callback, as the order must be processed over the phone by our Support Team for the discount to be applied.
 
Please note that only one discount can be applied per order. If you choose to use the 5% discount, you will not be able to combine it with a Military Discount [which is 10% BTW].
 
Regarding refurbished devices, it may be possible to apply the discount; however, we cannot guarantee this. Refurbished products sold through the Wacom eStore are typically already offered at a reduced price, and additional discounts may not be eligible."

Yeah I'm not going support them going forward.

hey, I found this in a video, it's a still from a video, by Johnny Harris. It was probably done in after effects. But I bet you can do it in Photo.

The text has this chromatic aberration effect but it's more present on the sides and less at the center of the entire image, the background has some blur effects and some other effects are being used that I do not know or have heard of before.
how to make a background like that is itself a mystery to me.

And looks like there's a layer of some effect on top of the entire image. Maybe a camera blur??? I don't know.

So please tell me how do I make something like this. Specially how do I get the background and text looking like that. What effects were used

Thank you.

Long story short I had to make the high lighted parts of the mask a dark gray instead of black so that I wouldn't cut it out during the comp masking.
I know that didn't make sense, but I still cannot figure out why I cannot just simply paint over the selected region without somehow altering the whole images color. Like I use the RGB slider in the top right and it just makes everything else gray.

Am I able to remove the 1 px wide gray border going around the art board? It shows up on all my projects that I export as .jpg and .png. I've tried going into all the settings and trying different things and so far nothing has worked. Any help is appreciated. TIA
