it is something like in the attachment. i cant rebuild the huge version as i fixed it via photoshop.. (exporting the background) if I will have the same issue again, i will post it here... fruhtest.svg

Well, i guess it is not about to explain the website workaround to me... My webmasters decided to use svg for different reasons i guess. And if you have text converted to jpg it wont be as sharp as svg text. Also if you scale it, it will look like rubbish. (mobile, tablet, etc.) I use SVG because its a picture in the background and a vector text in the foreground. JPG only just wont do it. I still think the problem is the Affinity Designer, not why I want to use SVG for the Headers

Well, i want to have a website Header Picture. Picture in the background. Text in the foreground. The text should be in vector format (scalable). So svg is the way to go i think. When i make a collage in Designer for the background (text in front) and export it as svg the filesize is very huge. Because its not a good compression for jpg in the background. Thats why I have the workaround.

But what does that mean to me? If i create the background image in Designer -> export as jpg. Convert it with an online image tool to smaller size -> Put it back into Designer -> huge svg file size If i create the background image in Photoshop -> export as jpg. Convert it with an online image tool to smaller size -> Put it back into Designer -> small svg file size I think Designer just does have a bad jpg export.. The funny thing is, the case is just with a bunch of images. Some are working great, some are not...

Hi there, i often have the problem, that i do website banners in 1500px x 480px size. It is an image with some text on it. As the build in compression for jpg in an svg file is really bad, i scale the background to a small file size in an online converter and place it again. But now i have the problem, that some Artboards export a small file size, some dont. The jpgs i place are always pretty small. About 50kb. + text as vector it should be around 80-100kb. But for some reason some exports increase to around 500kb. Is there any problem known like this? Or is the export feature in Designer just rubbish? //edit: It seems to be the creation of the jpg. Maybe it writes some wrong lines coming out ouf affinity designer, i dont know. I created the background image in Photoshop and just put text on it in Designer and it works perfectly.

ok thats sad.. would be nice if there is that kind of feature soon. thank you for that detailed reply.

If i draw a stroke, i can extend the stroke. If i use a Brush as stroke, it is not possible anymore to extend it. Is it a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Too bad.. hopefully they will implementate a good tool, just as illustrator. Pixel based brushes are more or less useless in this case..

Hello, is there any way to create my own vector brushes in Designer? Just like a simple line brush (attached). I could do it with "appearance" but rather i just want to create brushes like in Adobe Illustrator. To change the line color afterwards for example. Or if it comes to overlapping i want only the strokes to overlap. Not the filling. Is there any way to do proper vector brushes? Could not find anything on the internet.. Jonas

But are these vector brushes or is it pixel based? But at the end, it is not possible like in illustrator to understand it right? Just because i want to create my own brushes... But as i understand it just needs more time if they add a feature like that?

Without rasterisation yes. Its so super simple in Illustrator. (Just drag the 5 lines to the brush panel) But no way in Designer

Hey there, i could not find any tutorial or option to create a simple line "picture brush" just like in Illustrator. I want to draw 5 lines and make a brush out of it. Is that possible? Best, Jonas

thats it. thank you!

Hi, i just could not find any answer to how to draw a line snapping in 90/45 degrees on the ipad with affinity designer. Just like you press shift on a computer. With the regular pen tool (Not line tool) Am i just to stupid to find it? Best Jonas

Ok this is very strange. Now I tried a lot of different options. Text over the picture, Without Text etc. (There used to be a Page with pictures and Text in the document on Page 1 before) And exported it several times with the same settings. Removing some stuff from page1 as well. But for me it seems to do a frame around the signature randomly... Sometimes it appeared, sometimes not. Maybe it has to do something with the layers which I added in Photo (Contrast)? I dont get it. Files attached. Now it seem to work fine.. tester5.afpub tester5.pdf

Hi There, im used to have no troubles by having a black and white image, setting the layer blend mode to: Overlay. So the white parts are not visible. And usually if you write a PDF in Indesign it is also not visible, because you can set "reduce transparency". If i write a PDF in Publisher there is a frame in size of the picture around it. Is there any soulution? It should be exported for print. MAC OSX and Publisher latest versions. Best Jonas
