  1. 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
  2. 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
  3. Thanks, Walt. I will explore that tomorrow, and get back to you with a big hug ( from a distance since I live in Cyprus ) 😃
  4. 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..
  5. 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.
  6. 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
  7. Well Thanks you All. This is really a Community we can rely on. Problem solved 😀 Dominique
  8. 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
  9. 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
  10. 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.
  11. 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 ?
  12. 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
  13. Hi There, and thanks in advance to anyone who will help me to understand how it works ( or never will ) - I'm using two shapes, identical, with a gradient in each (1 Original shapes) - The left one I added a shadow to separate it from the one at right - I want to keep only the overlapping part of that shadow, on the shape at the right and make the rest of the shadow invisible, so I can composite the result on whatever background I choose. - A simple mask does not work (2 Mask Positive) - A negative mask ( shape punched in a rectangle ) works mainly, but I can only use it with a flat background and use the same flat color fir the mask (3 Mask negative) I hope this makes sense, and that there is a solution other than rasterize... Again Thanks to anyone who can shed a light on this Dominique
  14. Thank You drphoto. That answers my question. As much as I love Affinity Photo, and as an Apostle, trying to convert my corporate clients to switch, things like this one are a real pain to explain ("Are You Serious? Cropping to a pixel size not possible anymore?) Ok I will live with it for the time being, but frankly...when you have dozen of files to export correctly every day, cropping should be quite basic, right ? Anyway, I don't live in the Bahamas, so my life does not depend on that: It's just very annoying. Again Thanks for your time replying to me. It confirms that I'm not that idiot after all. Dominique
  15. Hi There, Firstly I apologize if I ask something that has already been answered in this topic - or another. I did read a lot of posts in this thread, but I'm still confused. As a Web Designer working in Affinity Photo 1.7.1 on MacOS Mojave, I have dozens of templates, but this on summarize my question: - My document size is 1500px by 1500px in 72dpi - I want to crop it to 1000px by 1000 px still in 72dpi (no resample needed then ). That works perfectly, but it's time consuming to input the parameters each and every time. - I want to save this as a crop preset. Impossible if I don't choose "resample" in the dropdown menu. - When I apply the preset, it shows my parameters ( 1000 x 1000 in 72 ) but the crop is 1500 x 1500 and if I apply it does not crop, it resample- the typography but not the visual ) Maybe I'm stupid, but I don't comprehend what's happening. I had a bunch of presets like that in the previous version of Affinity - all lost by now., how nice is that... Thanks to anyone who would take the time to shed a light on this. Dominique
