That's really too bad. Since you're a moderator, could you please move this thread to the suggestions forum instead, then?

Is this possible in a non-destructive, flexible way? Here's what I mean: Now, I made this effect with four objects, but that's difficult to edit. Is it possible to do this with only the original two? I tried grouping them and selecting an outline on the group, but that just applied an outline to all individual objects and that's not what I want.

I switch to the cursor tool, and select a slice in the Slices panel, but unlike in the normal mode, no transform handles appear. Why is this? I also cannot select a Slice in the Slice panel, and then enter a new transform in the Transform panel. Why is this so different from the normal mode? EDIT: Oh, my god... you do this with the slice tool... the one with the PLUS SIGN that signifies that you use it to create new slices with... urr... that, unfortunately, wasn't very apparent... why am I even allowed to move and edit my document (and the document objects only) with the cursror tool in the export persona? Very confusing. EDIT: Just to clarify why this is so confusing, because if you select the title bar with the slice tool and drag, you don't move the slice, you create a new one! You have to very specifically watch how the cursor looks when you move over a slice to see what will happen.

It's 2019 now and I've seen people ask about this in 2016 even (probably older). Just now, I encountered such a simple thing as wanting a non-destructive resizing in Photo... an image layer in Designer must be non-destructive, but once you go pixel in Photo, there seems to be no way back. I'm guessing I'll soon be wanting a perspective distort or even mesh warp to be non-destructive, so hopefully this is such an old request that it's now high on the list for the developers to implement next! EDIT: I just noticed that my pixel layers remember their rotation transforms and don't seem to get very blurry from scaling up and down in Photo... is there partial "smart" features available already?

Very nice, but why isn't this available from the right-click menu on the layer itself? EDIT: Seems I'm not the first one to ask that question...

Do they exist? For example: So this is box, lasso, brush cursor types, and then overlapping or enclosed collision types. If I can do this in Designer somehow, please let me know!

I have an .AI file that's exported from Rhino that has content in Illustrator CC, but comes up as empty in Affinity Designer. It has some slightly client sensitive content in it, so I'd prefer not to share it in public. Is there any way I can send it to a developer for testing?

Ok... but leaving layers empty isn't even acceptable for a one way trip... quite an annoying issue (with seemingly a simple fix) to have been left in for apparently almost a year now?

Is there a setting for this that I can't find, or named something else? I'm talking about when you're editing a high bitdepth image and some areas look white, but you know there's some information in there still, and you don't want to adjust the entire image with the exposure slider, only the white areas.

The problem is still there! Isn't this critical enough to warrant a hotfix? I mean, people who are halfway between switching might reconsider with blatantly obvious issues like this...

I also came to this forum looking for this feature. I used it a lot in Photoshop, because we export depth maps from 3D renders, so it's nice to be able to just do two clicks inside the actual render to set the range we want.

Replying here too, as I would also like an explicit percentage feature in the menu (and so does a lot of other people it seems, this is the fourth thread I've found on the same subject). People shouldn't have to search online forums to find hidden features which should be made obvious through the interface.

No, I want the entry in the drop down list. I don't want a new user (or someone I teach) have to go to a forum and ask people to find out a hidden method. I want it explicitly shown in the interface.

I still would like a resize with percent option (second thread with this ask I found, btw).

I still would like a resize with percent option.

Hello, I now managed to recreate it once again, even on 1.7.2: Please see attached example file: This is a showstopper for me when it comes to doing icon design. I need a 100% preview while I'm working in zoomed mode. untitled.afdesign

Well, I can now also report that even in Windows 10 (1903), the Publisher icon takes over .afdesign files (but not .afphoto files)...

I tried both, and restarted my computer in between. All icons are still Publisher, even though the behaviour is changed.

I bought all three apps, and after installing them, I get the Publisher icon on both photoshop and illustrator files. Annoyingly, all those files also opened with Publisher, but I was able to change that with cmd-i and then the "open with" option. But the orange icons remain on the files. Any fix?

Thanks for the detailed explanation, but I can't for the life of me get the objects to stack the way it is in your picture. Does the rectangle mask object need to be configured in a certain way in order to stack like this? EDIT: If I drag the HSL adjustment OUT of the layer, and leave it just on its own, THEN I was able to drop the rectangle onto it. This was way more difficult than it needed to be, imo.

Please see the attached image. If you note the thumbnail on the lowest layer, there should be a column of yellow squares to the right in the picture. However, the adjustment layer on top, that I've put a mask on, just fills this in with white, instead of as expected, become transparent outside of the masking area. Is this a bug, and if not, what is the workaround here? EDIT: I just now noticed that there's a "crop" symbol on my mask layer. I have no idea where that comes from.

I grabbed some screenshots of an app and dragged them into Affinity Photo, and for some weird reason, they are blurry, even after making sure I've "resized" them to "original size". Only one of them became crisp after a few resize attempts:

That link doesn't seem to work anymore, but I'm interested in the scattering of vector based objects, and not pixel based. Is that possible?

Same here. Saying and doing nothing makes the user believe that the program isn't working correctly. I see zero reason why selecting a piece of an image layer for copying and pasting wouldn't work. Just rasterize the result. Deleting a piece of an image layer should just automatically create a mask with that piece masked out. That would not only do what the user expected it to do, but it will also implicitly teach the user about the difference between an image and a pixel layer (and remind an experienced user who might forget in a hurry, because the label is very small)!

No, it also happens when you paste from another application. But imo, it's a horrible inconvenience. There should be an option to silently convert all image layers to pixel layers in Affinity Photo, and also perhaps an option to have a popup that asks you about it.
