Aftershaft got a reaction from deepblue in List of some third party vectorization & tracing tools
Yes - Jonathan at Vectorizer asked me to send him something to test out and he would return the results. I was just a doodle but he returned a SVG file to me and it seemed perfect in Affinity Designer. He also has a service that will make backgrounds transparent but I am not sure if that is is part of the subscription.
When I get more serious I am going to subscribe to the web version (I don't understand what the app is all about - seems really expensive). Better than paying Adobe! But I don't get why Designer cannot/will not do this or convert images to have a transparent background. Would be nice to not be able to have to bounce back between various apps. I believe Canva (now parent company) does both.
Thanks again.

Aftershaft got a reaction from Old Bruce in Can I make all groups (containing a circle and text box) the same size?
This worked great!!! Thanks!
To transform selected objects separately: Select multiple objects. With the Move Tool selected, select Transform Objects Separately from the context toolbar. Apply a sizing, rotation or shearing transformation. Each object is transformed relative to its individual attributes, not those of the selection as a whole. To size selected objects separately to absolute sizes Select multiple objects. Ensure Transform Objects Separately is selected from the context toolbar. On the Transform panel, resize by entering an absolute value into the W or H input boxes. For example enter =100px into the W box to make all objects 100px wide. This absolute sizing is in contrast to scaling other objects in your selection proportionately to a targeted key object resized to, e.g. 100px. Note the importance of the "=" symbol to signify an expression being used.

Aftershaft got a reaction from firstdefence in Where is the Convert To Curves button in Affinity Designer *TWO* please (for a vector shape)?
A HA!! Thanks!
I do not see the button on the contest toolbar but these two options will do it!
Thank you

Aftershaft got a reaction from Paul Mudditt in V2 apps on iPad Pro no longer usable - Stuck on "No recents" page1
Hi,
Not sure if that helped. But I accidently turned the iPad to landscape and there was a menu on the left hand side! It does not appear in portrait mode!
Thanks

Aftershaft got a reaction from ARTurek in I cannot drag and drop a jpg or png into Affinity Photo V2
Never thought of that! I probably was testing something.
Thanks!

Exactly.

Aftershaft got a reaction from walt.farrell in Can I fill in a shape with a brush in Affinity Designer?
That works Walt.
I do not know what I was doing wrong!
And I still haven't figured out why I sometimes use a brush and it doesn't appear (no, it is not because I picked a white stroke - well sometime hehe).
Thank you!

Aftershaft got a reaction from Alfred in Layer over a photo so I can read the text on top of it
It worked! I used a light gray rectangle RGB(166,166,166) and the text shows up!
It is a lot easier doing it this way instead of messing with background properties and gradients in Dreamweaver!
Thanks!
More fun stuff!

Aftershaft got a reaction from jmwellborn in Exporting an Affinity Publisher file to a format Adobe InDesign can import
A 7 day free trial of Adobe InDesign immediately turns into a $21 a month service. https://commerce.adobe.com/checkout/email/?cli=mini_plans&co=US&items[0][cs]=0&items[0][id]=7AC98ED7C0B9E7138F774892B4C40FE2&lang=en
Payment information must be filled out before the "free" trial begins. Perhaps the subscription can be cancelled after the first month but not sure if the cost of the first month would be reimbursed.
Companies must have a lot of money to burn, even in these times!
I am going to have to limit my services to potential clients that do not care about Adobe products!
