@dutchshader yes! thank you! I should've searched the forum first ^_^'

Hello! I'm trying out package design for the first time. Is it possible to do this in designer or do I need publisher? I already have the designs I want. I just need to be able to outline the shapes and dimensions for the package. I'd like to do it Designer if possible (I don't have Publisher yet). How can this be achieved? It doesn't have to be perfect because it's just practice, but I'd like to work on the technical skills of designing. I've never designed anything for print from start to finish. I really enjoy package design. Thanks in advance!

Wow this was much better than the way I did it. Thank you! I was able to complete it using this method. I guess the gradient tool is for simple shapes then

okay, I see what you're saying. Here is a comparison of editing the photo as a background vs image. First image is opened as a background. The second image is what it looks like when I attempt to edit the gradient. https://imgur.com/a/M75JUNi https://imgur.com/zT6blfE Now this next one is what it looks like when I have the photo pasted as an image. https://imgur.com/2iAwcan - By default, it's a grayscale color gradient. I know the other way of doing it is to create a separate layer with the gradient and rasterize ( https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/24811-gradient-fade-to-transparency/ ), but there is little manipulation you can do with it. Is there an easier way to achieve this?

Hello! I'm on Affinity Designer Win10. Images seem to automatically be opened as "background." The only exception I've found is when copy & paste an image from the web. I was attempting to edit the gradient of the images. I've already done it successfully with another image I copy & pasted. My question is, is there a way to change an image from "background" to "image"? I've tried copying & pasting the same image in the same file and it didn't work. I want to be able to edit the gradient of the image without the entire page being edited with gradient. Thanks in advance!
