I was afraid of that answer, but many Thanks for the info anyway

Hi there. In Affiniy Photo there must be a way to see "curves" as curves, not pixels. I didn't find the way to do that. Anyone can help me please? Thanks so much Dominique

Hi again. I tried to follow your ( very appreciated ) guidelines, but I'm still abit puzzled, pardon me. Let me repeat my goal... From one file, containing several "groups", I wish to export automatically those groups into separate JPGs, flatten, with a different size than the original. - I created a slice with the same dimension than the original. - I went to the Slices Panel, and created a preset with the dimensions of the destination files, with the name of the groups, or sequential, or whatever, even if I have to rename manually after export. Layers appears as this: Slices appear as this: "Full Horizontal ( 2666l x2000h, 72 dpi, JPg 85% ) is the goal. - I don't know what the "[MES] Horizontal" is, and how to get rid ot it ( I can change the name, but trash is greyed ) - In my simplistic point of view, ONE slice should apply to all the "Groups". But if I have to copy a slice for every "group", so be it. Thanks for any help... I'm pulling my hair by now

Thanks, Walt. I will explore that tomorrow, and get back to you with a big hug ( from a distance since I live in Cyprus ) 😃

Hi Gentle People, I need some advice Topic 1 I have a bunch of files ( since I'm shooting "series") to export , from my native shooting size (4032x3024) to my Custom Size (2667x2000) JPG 85%. So I go to File->Export, adjust my parameters, and then click to "More-> Manages presets" and I get a dropdown ( Create, Delete, Rename) ... all options greyed, so it seems to me that the "Presets" don't take the "Size" of the Export in consideration. I hope I'm wrong, otherwise I would have to in put the destination Size 150 times manually. I'm sure Affinity is more clever than that. Topic 2 from one file I would like to export "Layers" or "Group of Layers" in one go - and it seems feasible via "Export Persona". I don't need slices by now. But I didn't find the way to do that properly. If someone has any idea, I would be very grateful..

Thanks so much Garry. I will explore further. In my inexperience, I though the presets in the list were engraved in marble. And... can I save those settings as a persona ? Sometimes I have to export 30 photos a day, I try to save time.

Hi There. I have a 4032 x 3024 px document. I made a centered slice 3024 x 3024. I would like to export this slice in 2000 x 2000 px size automatically without changing the size of the initial file ( based on my camera resolution ). Can someone teach me how to do that, or tell me it's just impossible? Thanks for your help Dominique

Well Thanks you All. This is really a Community we can rely on. Problem solved 😀 Dominique

Hi There. Maybe I'm the usual idiot but I after multiple trials, I cannot find the proper solution to this - quite simple IMO - I have a bitmap with nine figures. 123456789 I try to separate them properly preserving the vertical alignment, to get individual figures. Someone can tell me how to do it the easy way? Thanks for any help. Dominique

OMG, or "Allah Allah" as they say in my country ( Turkish Cyprus ). I have my logo now and can do whatever I want with it. This is really the Egg of Columbus story : I'm the King of the Hill now. The symbol on the right is called a "Nazar", the ubiquitous Devil Eye in East Mediterranean, supposed to protect you from the demons, always. May it protect you all as well. Thanks to you all to show me the way. Dominique

And changing the Blending Mode, the Radius or the offset does not change anything. Same for the Fill knocking checkbox. I'm lost in this jungle.

This.

Not embarrasing at alI ( I feel myself like an idiot most of the time ) I created those shapes in Sketch, which I am more familiar than AD . You can round every point of your shape, then substract another shape. You have to be very precise but it works well Having said that I feel like an idiot, this is the proof: What did I do wrong, following FirstDefence solution ?

Ok ok when I say very close I mean I have to adapt my file to this. Don't take it badly, I spent hours trying and trying and got almost crazy. Did the same experiment in Sketch, and no way. Thanks, Beautiful Minds, to help me understand Dominique

Almost, but very close, I will experiment with that. Thanks so much !
