I noticed one of my projects did not want to export as a PSD. After investigating, I believe I have narrowed down the problem to a certain perspective transform. How to trigger: Create a new project. Add an image (Might work with other types of layers, I just found a large stock image reproduces this the easiest). Add a perspective distort live filter. Set the source of the perspective live filter to a small region of the screen. Set the destination to a sufficiently larger area of the screen. Select export. If it is not selected yet, select PSD as the target format. What happens: Sometimes Affinity Photo may freeze and lock up (temporarily or sometimes until killed). Once the export window opens, you will notice that it never creates a preview for your PSD export. If you choose to export anyway without waiting for a preview, Affinity may freeze for a bit, show a progress bar, then after it fills it will fail with an error. I tested this on Windows using Affinity Photo/Designer/Publisher version 2.0.4 but noticed that this issue seems present on my iPad Pro (at least in Photo version 2.0.4). In the attached screen capture, I pressed CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+S (to export) around the 1:00 minute mark which did temporarily freeze the window. Then the export dialog box appeared but will not create a preview. After hitting export, Affinity prints "An error occurred while exporting to: <file name.psd>". Perspective distort can export as the end of the screen capture shows with the default perspective warp. But zooming into a small section using perspective warp has some issues. test.mov

Hmm… That actually seemed to fix it for me! Thanks! It still feels like unintended behavior but, for the time being, I’ll set Display Zoom to Default.

There appears to be a bug on the iPad apps where the grid is not anchored to the top left corner properly. This causes some sort of “parallax effect” when panning the canvas. When rotating the canvas past 180º, the grid disappears. Currently, this appears to affect all V2 apps though the V1 apps are unaffected. FullSizeRender.MOV

Oh actually that was exactly was I was searching for so Outline Stroke from Adobe is the same or similar Expand Stroke in AD Thanks!

I kinda was wondering if there was a way to do this I kinda did this example by tracing by hand hand so they aren't purfect but close to what I'm looking for

Yeah i could puts strokes on top of strokes but wanted to if I could have the outline become a shape I guess one reason to do this is I could take a line or a curve that isn't really "closed" and turn it into a shape that is "closed" But i'm not sure if it is possible to do similar to how Ai can do it

shoot... I meant Affinity Designer sorry

I guess to be more specific I kinda want to do what is shown in step nine on this page https://m.wikihow.com/Create-an-Outline-in-Adobe-Illustrator. Don’t know if it’s possible in Affinity as yet. @GarryP this is close to what I want but I didn’t want to make a pixel layer. I wanted the outline to be a vector shape so it can still be edited. @R C-R I don’t suppose I can take the outline of an fx and turn it into an editable curve right?

Hey, is it possible to outline the stroke of a path or curve in Affinity Photo? for example could I take this random curve with varying stroke size and get a shape from the outline? Thanks Edit: I meant designer instead of photo sorry

Ha cool may try it sometime soon then! thanks again

Thanks for answering! I kinda want to bind flipping to a keystroke so I can map those keys to a tablet button would you know if Affinity Photo can flip it's entire canvas (don't have photo yet but may try it sometime)?

So I was wondering whether it was possible to flip the entire canvas. I found this post which only says how to flip a layer instead of a canvas… …but what about the entire canvas?
