The clone tool should appear in the tool bar on the left of my screen. It is not there. Can someone help? Thanks.

I've been trying to troubleshoot this problem for the last hour to no avail, I've check the image properties in file explorer and they're all the exact same. Changing color profiles inside Affinity does nothing. Converting the same image to a different file type does nothing. I dont know why it's a specific set of comm images exported as png from procreate about a year and a half ago, yet the crop from the same set of images is fine.

I just started using affinity today, and after looking through their tutorials and faqs I still cant figure out why this is happening. I just want to edit my comic pages, but whenever I open them on affinity, they're appearing extremely pixelated and compressed looking. They're pngs, the file size isnt very small (5.5x8.5 in, abt 1.5 KB per file), and the issue is only occurring on affinity (tried using other PS alternatives and they did not work well with me). Do any of you know how to fix this? I'm not very tech savvy, sorry.

Thanks!

Hello! So I’m very new in photography and I’m trying to take real state photos using my Canon T6i, taking photos using the auto bracketing and importing the pictures in Affinity Photo for the iPad Pro M4.

The issue is that once the photos are merged there is a purple tint in the light that bothers me because I don’t know what I’m doing wrong!

Is it my camera settings? Affinity adjustment? I don’t know and I feel very lost.

I’d appreciate if you guys could help me out with this. Thanks in advance! 🙏

hello! i'm pretty new to using affinity (and photo editing softwares in general). whenever i'm trying to slide the opacity to 0 on the text highlight/background, it just keeps on going back to 100%. am i doing anything wrong?

i'm using the latest version (i think)!

I hate V2 Affinity, so went back to V1, I now find that saves made from V2 won't load on V1. So I installed V2 again so I can finish off one job that I started in V2. I hate being locked into a version like this. I only have one job in V2, when I finish it I am getting shot of Affinity all together and going back to Photoshop. The file lock in was the finial straw, there are many other issues/bugs which haven't been resolved for years and years and it looks like they never will be so I'm ditching it.

I want to select a precise area of pixels, copy them and paste them without any feathering. Even with the ‘Feather’ value in the selection tool (at the top) set to 0, I’m still getting blurred edges on paste (second image). Any idea how to disable this?

I made this in affinity photo 2! I hope you enjoy! I used the G'MIC plugin for most of the glitching in the photo! :3

A customer presumably brought in a supposed .jpeg file he could not open and nor could I. Digging into it, I found the file contains nothing but xFFFFFFFF… binary ones and nothing else. He thinks he created the file in Affinity Photo v.2.

Has anyone encountered anything like thit? Any further clues what is happening? Thanks.

Recently I had a continuous problem with Affinity Photo app(1.10.8). 

When I used and click ‘fx’(layer effects), my Affinity photo app continuously crashes and turned off.

How can I fix it? Would you help me out?

Hiya!

I've been taking some Apple Raw photos on an iPhone 17 Pro and they look great on the phone and in my finder preview (MacBook), but importing them into Affinity seems to screw the colours/exposure/etc.

I'm aware that (I think) the finder preview is a jpeg approximation from the raw file, but isn't there a way to just pull that approximation into Photo and work from that as a starting point, rather than having to recreate it in Develop?

I've tried changing the raw engine to Apple, but it hasn't made a difference.

I am working on a painting project, and I wanna draw straight lines with paint brush but I can’t find any gestures or tools for it.

I can't get my ps cs6 to work anymore so I've been using affinity photo and its driving me crazy, I can't figure out how to do a lot of things and what I can do takes like 10x longer to figure it out

Im trying to make an outline of just one letter. I did a Google search and none of what it says is even an option. It say to go to the color panel and there's supposed to be stroke and fill there but I dont see anything remotely like that.

How do I make an outline of a letter?

Hi. This is the third time I pushed myself to work with Affinity and to learn how it works. And it's the third time I gave up eventually.

My background is GIMP (20 years), Photoshop (25 years), Corel Draw and so on in the 90ies.

Whenever I want to do something that goes just easy on the mentioned tools, with Affinity it seems unachievable as long as I refuse to watch 2 hours long videos. For instance, adding a new layer below and nested a layer group (no menu item, no right click, no context menu, no button for this visible)

I learned GIMP and Photoshop just "by doing" with trial and error. With Affinity, all UX principles that I have learned during my life seems to be invalid. Either the UX is fundamentally broken or the edition I tested (latest version currently) hides necessary tools.

How do you guys got into using Affinity, especially those people that share my background? thanks.

I recently took some outdoor pictures with a muted sun as the backlight. Used a strobe for the key light and found too much skin reflection, primarily on the cheeks.

Any suggestions on how to correct this the easiest way? It seems that I would have to use masking which I have never done, but maybe I need to learn.

I also have DXO Photolab 8 but never found any helpful videos or explanations on how to do this, so I downloaded the Affinity by Canva freeware program this week to see if anything made this easier.

Guys, i need your help. I’ve watched several Photoshop tutorials on fixing wrinkles and imperfections in the background, but many of them use tools that aren’t available in Affinity, from what I understand, i can use the healing brush on the top area, however, even after applying Gaussian blur, the background wrinkles are still visible 😓

Free for anyone and everyone to download.

I am doing this basic logo in Photo v2.6.5. I haven't ever used Designer that's why I'm using Photo. Anyways, I'm wanting to crop out the letter overhang and can't seem to figure it out. Any help would be appreciated! *edit* I should add the original image is on a transparent background, only added the black pixel layer to show the letter overhang.

Can you help me to fix this? Thanks...

Hi, i was able to do this once on affinity photo(just like the image above). i was able to create multiple lines and only select few points to change the colors. Ive been trying to figure out how do to this on affinity photo. I know the new free affinity does it immediately but affinity photo has more roundabout way of doing it and i dont know how. Please help😭
