[Do Symbols saved in Document or Application?]

Sorry, I just dragged another copy of the symbol onto the document to show that it is working.

Thank you for the screenshots. It works perfectly fine.

[Do Symbols saved in Document or Application?]

@Joachim_L But, it looks like the alignment has changed on the document in your screenshot.

@Joachim_L Thank you for the screenshot. Can you please share one more screenshot of removing the heart layers and place some other object in that layer?

[Do Symbols saved in Document or Application?]

Hi,

I'm trying to create a pattern design template. I've designed some objects and added it to the "symbols" library.

If I save the affinity designer document and send it to my client, can he/she be able to use my "symbols library with sync enabled" in that document?

Or 

He has to change each and every same objects in that pattern.

Please check my attached template file. If you could open this document with the "symbols" library sync enabled, please share me the screenshot. 

 

Thank You

[Affinity Designer Canvas Turns to black sometimes]

Hi @Gabe,

I changed the renderer settings to my dedicated GPU. It worked fine with no slow performance issues. Then, I did one more test with my Intel GPU. I uninstalled my display driver and reinstalled the latest driver. And I did a "reset user defaults" in affinity designer (CTRL+ launch AD).

Now it works fine with no issues on my Intel GPU.

Thank you @carl123 and @Gabe for your help and support.

I have changed the renderer from Intel to warp. And, it works fine. I found no black overlay issues until now. But, some times it's slower when changing fonts from the font menu. I will test this with my dedicated GPU and will update to you.

Does affinity work on Dedicated GPU?

[Affinity Designer Canvas Turns to black sometimes]

Hi @Gabe,

I have installed the latest affinity designer beta (1.8.0.526). I face the same issue in the beta version too. Please have a look at the screenshot (issue_on_beta.gif).

Thank You

[Affinity Designer Canvas Turns to black sometimes]

Hi @Gabe,

I'm sorry, if my information was not clear. Please have a look at the screenshots. Hope you understand what I'm trying to say.

You could see the screen jump while dragging the canvas (issue.gif). It freezes for a second and a black screen overlaid on the canvas. And, when I zoomed out the black overlay disappears.

The "normal.gif" is just a comparison (I don't face this issue all the time).

[Affinity Designer Canvas Turns to black sometimes]

Hi,@Gabe

I use graphic tablet only. I used to "pan" the canvas with MMB (assigned in pen). But, sometimes, the canvas freeze for a sec, while I pan the canvas (when zoomed in). Then the black screen appeared. When I zoomed out one step (with CTRL  -), the black screen disappeared. I face this issue every day three to four times. But, not frequently.

Hi,

The canvas turns into black some times (Especially when zoom in + pan). When I zoom out, it becomes normal. Kindly have a look at the screenshot. And, I couldn't regenerate this issue. It sometimes happens (not frequently).

 

Note: I have all my drivers updated to the latest version.

Version: Affinity Designer 1.7.3.481

Operating System : Windows 10 Pro

CPU : Intel i3-4005U with Intel HD 4400 Graphics

GPU: NVIDIA 820m 2GB

Tablet : One by Wacom  (CTL-471)

[Does Affinity treat EXR alpha channels incorrectly? is this a bug?]

Hi @GabrielM,

Thank you for the replay. I enabled those three options in color under preferences.

And It shows the flame with the background. Thanks again.

[Does Affinity treat EXR alpha channels incorrectly? is this a bug?]

Hi,

Few days back I read a tweet from troy_s (Troy James Sobotka), about "How to check any image editing software that treats the alpha channel from an EXR file correctly?"

I checked the file with affinity photo and got different results. Here is the tweet link. Click here

You can see how Krita and Fusion treating the alpha channel from the same exr file. And, I have opened the exr and enabled (associate openexr alpha channels - in preference > color). Please check the result in screenshot 2

And i have opened the image after disabling ("associate openexr alpha channels - in preference > color") I can't see the candle light with the background layer. I could see only the black background, instead of alpha enabled candle light and color background. - screenshot  1

And, I checked the file in krita and BMD Fustion. Those software's showed the candle light with alpha. Please check the screenshots - 3,4

I have attached that exr file here. I'm not sure whether its a bug. And, I'm sorry if my English is not good.

Hi,

I exported SVG shapes and tried to import it in blender 3d software.  But, when I imported the file. the points are missing. I'm not sure whether it is a bug. I re-imported the SVG file in Affinity designer. got the same result as blender. Please check the screenshots. Let me know your thoughts if I am wrong.
