User: how can i copy adjustments and paste them to other images in affinity photo
Assistant: In Affinity Photo, you can easily copy adjustments from one image and apply them to another. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do this:

### Method 1: Copying and Pasting Adjustments

1. **Select Your Image with Adjustments**:
   - Open the image that contains the adjustments you want to copy.

2. **Select the Adjustments**:
   - Open the **Layers** panel (if it's not already open, you can find it under `View > Studio > Layers`).
   - Select the adjustment layers you want to copy. You can hold down the `Shift` key to select multiple layers at once.

3. **Copy the Adjustments**:
   - Right-click on the selected adjustment layers and choose **Copy**, or use the keyboard shortcut `Ctrl+C` (Windows) or `Cmd+C` (Mac).

4. **Open the Target Image**:
   - Open the image you want to apply the adjustments to.

5. **Paste the Adjustments**:
   - Go to the **Layers** panel in the new image and either right-click in the panel and choose **Paste**, or use the keyboard shortcut `Ctrl+V` (Windows) or `Cmd+V` (Mac).

### Method 2: Using the Adjustments Brush

If you have multiple images that require similar adjustments and you'd like to paint them on selectively, you can use the **Adjustment Brush**:

1. **Create Your Adjustments**:
   - Set up an adjustment layer on your base image.

2. **Use the Adjustment Brush**:
   - Select the **Adjustment Brush** from the toolbar (it looks like a brush icon).
   - In the context toolbar, you will see options related to the adjustment that you can brush onto other images or areas.

3. **Paint the Changes**:
   - Paint over the areas in the new image where you want to apply these adjustments.

### Method 3: Creating Styles (For Future Use)

If you find yourself using the same adjustments often, consider creating a style:

1. **Select the Adjustments**: Select the adjustment layers in the original image.

2. **Create a Style**: 
   - Click on the **Styles** panel. If it’s not visible, you can enable it through `View > Studio > Styles`.
   - Click the **Create Style** button (an icon that looks like a plus sign or a new style button) to save the current styles.

3. **Apply Style to Other Images**: 
   - Open another image, select it, and then go back to the **Styles** panel to apply the saved style.

These methods will help you transfer adjustments between images efficiently in Affinity Photo.
User: how can i contribute to an open source project on github? I would just like to implement a new icon for an app that follows new updated guidelines. How would I, a github beginner, go about this?
Assistant: Contributing to an open-source project on GitHub can be a rewarding experience! Here's a step-by-step guide to help you get started, especially focusing on implementing a new icon for an app:

### Step 1: Find a Project

1. **Search for a Suitable Project**: Look for an open-source project that you want to contribute to. You can search on [GitHub](https://github.com/explore) or use tags like "good first issue" or "help wanted" to find projects welcoming new contributors.

### Step 2: Fork the Repository

1. **Create a GitHub Account**: If you don't already have a GitHub account, create one.

2. **Fork the Repository**:
   - Navigate to the repository you want to contribute to.
   - Click on the **Fork** button in the upper right corner. This creates a copy of the repository in your account, which you can modify.

### Step 3: Clone Your Forked Repository

1. **Clone to Your Local Machine**:
   - In your forked repository, find the green **Code** button and copy the URL.
   - Open your terminal (or Git Bash on Windows) and run:
     ```bash
     git clone <YOUR_FORKED_REPOSITORY_URL>
     ```
   - This will download the repository onto your local machine.

### Step 4: Create a New Branch

1. **Navigate to the Project Directory**:
   ```bash
   cd <project-directory>
   ```

2. **Create a New Branch**:
   - It’s good practice to create a new branch for your changes:
     ```bash
     git checkout -b update-icon
     ```

### Step 5: Implement Your Changes

1. **Design the New Icon**:
   - Use your preferred design tool (like Adobe XD, Figma, or Sketch) to create the new icon, ensuring it follows the updated guidelines.
   - Save the icon in the appropriate format (e.g., PNG, SVG).

2. **Add Your Icon to the Project**:
   - Place your new icon file into the correct directory of the project.
   - If there are any references in the code or other files that need updating, be sure to make those changes.

### Step 6: Test Your Changes

1. **Run the Application**:
   - Follow the project's README for any instructions on how to run and test the application locally. Ensure your new icon appears correctly and that everything works as intended.

### Step 7: Commit Your Changes

1. **Stage Your Changes**:
   ```bash
   git add <path-to-your-icon-file> <any-other-files-you-modified>
   ```

2. **Commit Your Changes**:
   ```bash
   git commit -m "Implement new icon following updated guidelines"
   ```

### Step 8: Push Your Changes

1. **Push to Your Fork on GitHub**:
   ```bash
   git push origin update-icon
   ```

### Step 9: Create a Pull Request

1. **Open a Pull Request**:
   - Go to your forked repository on GitHub. You'll see a prompt to create a pull request for your new branch.
   - Click on "Compare & pull request," add a title and description explaining your changes, and submit it.

### Step 10: Engage with Feedback

1. **Respond to Review Requests**: The project maintainers may request changes or give feedback. Engage with their comments and make any necessary adjustments.

### Additional Tips

- **Read the Contribution Guidelines**: Before you start, check if the project has contribution guidelines (often found in a `CONTRIBUTING.md` file) that outline the process specific to that project.
- **Stay Updated**: Keep your fork updated with the upstream repository (the original project you forked from) to prevent merge conflicts. You can do this by adding the upstream repo as a remote:
  ```bash
  git remote add upstream <ORIGINAL_REPOSITORY_URL>
  ```
  And then periodically fetching and merging changes:
  ```bash
  git fetch upstream
  git merge upstream/main
  ```
- **Be Open to Learning**: Contributing to open-source is a great learning experience. Don’t hesitate to ask questions in the project's discussions or issues if you're unclear about something.

Good luck with your contribution!
