Affinity-Inspiration

Thanks. Hmmm, I see. It doesn’t change unless I then take another action. Zoom etc. but that’s a bit better anyway. Thanks.

I can’t find a solution to this problem. If I rename an artboard in the layers panel, the name doesn’t happen until I close then reopen the document. Surely there is a better way?

The Object Selection tool is really only an Ai driven shortcut. It’s still easily done by using the selection brush as well as a number of other standard built in selection methods. I use a number of different platforms here and actually forget to use the Object Selection tool more often than not. there are many YouTube and other tutorials explaining how to use selection tools in affinity.

How do I add a new mask layer, and have the mask be the red colour instead of being no-colour? I'm trying to add the mask to enable refine . iPad

Yep. I don’t understand invisibility either. So we are just supposed to guess where controls are. What a very odd decision.

Well that’s handy I must say! Thanks for pointing it out. My new Apple Pencil Pro hover mode lights it up. But only now I know to look for it. Well…

When I try to set a new page size either as a new document or Document Setup. Altering either setting also changes the other one. RPReplay_Final1740388157.mov

So I think I see what's happening. You are selecting the tree onto it's own layer. Fine. Then selecting the background and merging it down I think (the image is very fuzzy) but in effect it's leaving you a blank layer. The tree is gone. The background is gone. leaving a blank layer. Which is what appears to have been done.

Where's the problem? Following that video, it looks ok to me? A fair bit of processing going on there, but nothing unexpected that I can see. I'll have to have another look. Ok, just looked up your system. The latest it seems. Should be plenty good enough. Perhaps put your .afphoto file somewhere so we can try it out for comparison?

I presume you are using the latest version of Affinity? But otherwise, your system looks ok. Look into what else may be running on you system that could be taking up CPU processes.

I do this. Create guides. Set snapping on. Create an object or text box for example and align it to the guide or guides of your choice. The white rectangle is aligned between the guides. As is the Frame text bo

Try this. Create your rounded corners as shown previously. Convert both layers to curves. Select both layers, select Merge Visible. Copy the generated image. Exit that image and Create a New Image from Clipboard. image 1. Creating the new pixel layer Image 2. Creating your new rounded corner image. No layers.

Or maybe you could just use something like Fotor. Nifty corner rounder. Online.

That's about as simple as it gets. A rounded rectangle with an image dropped in it. Unless I'm misunderstanding what you are trying to do.

Well that’s interesting. Are you working with vectors or pixels?
