Itried that as well but couldn't toggle as described in the forum, but did stumble upon the answer with the display disable/enable choice in the menu screen. Not sure how I turned it off in the first place though, but it doesn't matter now.

I came here looking for a solution after encountering the same problem. For me, the answer had nothing to do with camera settings. I read this message and discovered that the eyepiece on my camera had somehow gotten loose and shifted up just enough to cover the sensor but not enough for me to notice. I slid it back down with a satisfying click, saw the sensor it had been blocking, and the problem was resolved.


I keep all my photos on Dropbox. It's usually great-- I open the app and scroll back and go back literally years and years and years. If I want to see a photo from November 2014, I could usually just scroll back there (it takes a while, but always worked).

I have a cloud based forms service that I am using to collect data, and optionally photos. I am saving these records to Google sheets, and from there using Appsheet to render the data. I have a problem rendering the photos. The data in Google Sheets is a URL (see first screen shot). I created a test Appsheet to test if it might work - 2nd screen shot. I used the "Gallery View" but nothing renders except gray warning triangle.


First change the field type to "URL" (from Image) - first screen shot. The Expression is then HYPERLINK(ENCODEURL([Take Photo]),"Photo") - 2nd screen shot. This provides a link to click and download the photo. Not quite the same as displaying on screen. If there is a better way I would like to be educated..


I believe the image rendering part of Appsheet requires the link url to be public to be able to display within appsheet interface, however it should open the photo in an external window when the url is clicked (depending on if you have permission to view it).


Display and store your favorite prints with this elevated photo box. Crafted of brass and your choice of real hardwood: Birch or Walnut



Add on prints to showcase your favorite images by sliding into the front of the box, creating a frame-like display. Refill later with the coordinating print size of our Everyday Print.


When your Google Nest Hub or Google Nest Hub Max display isn't in use, it can quietly keep you entertained. You can add your favorite photos to Google Photos and display them in your Google Nest Photo Frame.


Alternatively, you can choose an existing art gallery or select from a variety of traditional and abstract clocks to show while your device is idle. You can also get notifications on your display about upcoming events, commute, reminders, flights and packages.


Whether the selection has been made with a keyboard shortcut, or a lasso, or a magic wand, or a color-range-select -- none of that should matter. If a region(s) is selected, I would like to see the height and width of what is currently selected displayed in the Info box.


I would like the dimensions of the current selection (if any) to be displayed, at all times, preferably in the Info box (which is where I, and I would have thought most other people...?) would expect to see it.


Also, I am not transforming anything, yet. I have simply selected it. Maybe I'll transform it. Maybe I'll copy it to paste elsewhere. Maybe I just want to know how big the selection is.


You're "barking up the wrong tree", so to speak. The Info panel is meant to provide live info about the cursor or about a deliberately placed target (i.e. a fixed "cursor alias"). Not about existing objects or selections.

Recommended reading: -US.lproj/pages/Panels/infoPanel.html


To clarify in more details:

If no object is selected on the canvas or in the Layers panel, then the Move tool logically cannot show any dimensions whatsoever. The Move tool requires an object selection. An object will always be represented in the Layers panel. A marquee selection on its own isn't an object.


So to see the dimensions of a marquee selection in the Transform panel while no object is selected, you simply select the corresponding Marquee tool to restore the context.


My $0.02: Like many others, I use two monitors. My 'Studio' has all of the panels I use arranged carefully on the second monitor, and my document(s) on the main monitor. I have worked this way for many years; can't stand it otherwise. With all of my panels always open/visible, this issue is not a big deal for me. In fact, I was so accustomed to seeing the selection dimensions in the Transform panel, I wasn't even aware it didn't show up in the Info panel.


Given that the 'functionality' exists in the Transform panel may make this issue less than urgent to fix, but it is an issue nonetheless, IMHO. Hopefully this particular 'little thing' will get addressed soon; it sure seems like 'low-hanging fruit.'


If you've read anything I've posted before, you know I'm a huge fan of Serif for building the Affinity Suite as an alternative to the abhorrent practice of software rental. And the suite has come a long way over the last 18-24 months. However, there are a number of 'little things' and missing basics that detract from the otherwise-good experience, especially for the professionals that Serif is targeting and needs to continue to grow. And I think we all want that.


Did Info in Adobe show the dimensions on hover? I seem to remember it did. I am in Transform a ton doing polishing up but having to deselect something I am working on only to activate another thing just to check dimensions does disrupt workflow a bit at times. Plus being able to see things at a glance by running through them with cursor would be handy... if having to check many items all at once I can see it being tedious for certain workflows.


P.S. Info panel displays the current position of the cursor and the size of the drag operation (negative when moving to the left) in DU. If the "pixel selection" size value was left there, how would the new cursor position be displayed during an ADD/SUB operation? Therefore, if the Info panel should display the dimensions of the selection, then only as completely different values.


Not that I'm aware of, at least not in my ancient (CS6?) version; there has to be a pixel selection. It does/did however show the coordinates and change of position as you drag or resize something. Affinity mostly mirrors this functionality as well, albeit with a very noticeable lag, at least on my system.


You might be technically correct re: intention, though I wouldn't say omission in the help docs is an indicator; they're pretty sparse in places. (However, I'm happy to see that the help docs are improving.)


In Affinity when adding to/subtracting from a selection, it's identical to Photoshop: The cursor coordinates are updated in real time*, as is the width and height of the new selection. The difference is in Affinity, when you release the mouse, nothing is shown. In Photoshop, the updated dimensions of the selection are shown. Again, to me, this is logical: Why would you not show the dimensions of a selection in the Info panel?


Also, I may be missing your point or expectation, but in my work in design and publishing over quite a few years, I've never added to or subtracted from a selection using the Info panel. Maybe there's a great use case that hasn't gotten through my thick skull.


FWIW, my point in commenting here was to agree with the validity of the original post, not to bash Serif. I have great respect for the leadership, the team, the work they have done and continue to do, and the very solid software they've built. To their credit, they do listen and respond.


... I would like to see this information on my screen, preferably in the Info box. I would not like to have to click additional tools or keyboard combinations in order to see it. I would like it to be displayed in the Info box at all times (if something is selected, of course).


So the Transform panel is for performing actions, and if you don't want to do any of the above, why would you think to look on there? It's simply not inutitive. The size of a selection is purely informational and the obvious place to look for that is the Info panel.


I've created a page with a gallery block. I'm wondering if there is a way to get the photos to display one at a time and you can just scroll through them in mobile view. Right now it makes them quite small on the phone. You can click one open and then flip through them in a carousel fashion, but I hate that kind of functionality on the phone, plus there's no arrow indicator that you can do that.
