#Affinity photo app how to

“Place” is fairly common in Adobe land, often referring to placing a document or file within another document/canvas/artboard. Most of the time, this is call „insert“ or „import“. I am trying to add a new image as a new layer, which is totally basic in any other App i ever saw on any operating system.Īnd none of those Apps ever used the word „place“ for this, realy said:īecause you’re placing an image into your project. With all respect to you - but, have you ever heard the phrase RTFM?īoth Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer has enough intuition for normally users (earlier experiences from photo apps).īeginners should not start with Affinity. Sorry, but that realy did made me aggressive.Īnd i may have spared you the same said:Īnd i may have spared you the same experience. it has it‘ „thinking time“ in between!Īfter that hour, i searched in the manual and in the internet, and there was the recommendation to use some „menu“, which we OF COURSE do not have on iOS!!!īut the name of „Alignment“ finally lend me to a Snap Option Setting, where i did some experiments and finally could snap that f.ing second layer on top of the first!!! This gets even more hard, as the new image cannot just smoothely moved, nooooooo. You just need to move that thing around and it NEVER EVER fills the same region as the layer below!!! You may think, that this second image with the same geometry was meant as just a second totally similar layer, but nooooooooo, not in Affinity Photo!!!

Nooooo, it just sits in your finger and you can move it around and scale it and.

If you don’t try, you may never learn how to insert an image!Īnd thennnnnnnn, it does not just fill the new layer, as the first one, with the same dimension!!! Noooo, you need to first touch the canvas again!!! I was thinking about geographic coordinates or whatever.Īnd then, i learned that this also not works. Then, i learned that you cannot „insert“ or „load“ an image, nooooo, you need to „place“ it! It took me now 1hour to be able to add a second image as a second layer within Affinity Photo.ĭoing so, i learned that „closing“ a project is meaning „deleting“ the project.
