Where are they saved to? Can I recall them from some where and use them on another brush?

[Will the next update of D and P cost us?]

[New size Re-Size export confusion]

Thanks R C-R: That solved the issue changed the project to pixels every where now the dimensions are all 1024 x 1024 everywhere. Thanks

[New size Re-Size export confusion]

I see no way to change the export to points....

[Save dynamics settings]

Is it possible to save dynamics settings? In brush settings?

[New size Re-Size export confusion]

I set up a new document :

Photo, 1024x1024, 300 dpi

I check it in resize document it is now,

1023.8x1023.8.

I export now the size is 4266x4266

What is going on here?

I want to use the 1024x1024 300 dpi size for a 3D object texture. 

I need it as clear and “crispy” “sharp” as I can export it.

I am confused.                    

[Crash log where is it???]

Thanks there is nothing there!

[Crash log where is it???]

I crash Photo every time I try to copy a layer with a live filter . So #$@king annoying!! Where are the affinity crash logs? So I can send one to the developers.

[File size difference Designer to Photo]

Solved: File > Save As can reduce the file size from either app. Our file format is optimised for speed, and sometimes appends changes to the end leaving unused space in the middle of the file. Using File > Save As gets rid of that no-longer needed space.

This must have been what happened.

Thank you.

[File size difference Designer to Photo]

The Design file is 72.6 mb in the finder (get info) When opened by Photo and saved as a Photo file the file size  ( get info ) is 51.mb that is a difference of 21.6 mb.  Why is it smaller as a Photo file?

[Detect edges (thicker)]

Thanks MBd: That does it solved. thanks. Thanks too for the vid links.

[Detect edges (thicker)]

No ideas?

[Detect edges (thicker)]

When I use edge detect with an ambient occlusion bake map it works fine.

My question is:

is there a way to thicken the white lines? I've been blurring them then using unsharp but may be there is a better way.

If you know of one please let me know.

( also if there is a quick and easy way to remove the black this I also would like to learn.)

[Make transparent text with drop shadow with Affinity Designer]

Nice Thanks.

[Is there any shortcut to zoom in or out?]

On my Mac El cap MacBook Pro Retina, Mid 2012 15 in.  OS X 10.11.6, One button mouse I can zoom with the mouse if I hit alt/option and scroll.

I no longer use the Magic mouse, too unreliable too many batteries. They no longer sell Magic mouse charger etc. I switched to a Kensington wired mouse. and now use the pref: >Tools> use scroll wheel for zoom( don't know what scrubby zoom even means but left it checked.). Works great.

[Compress files from Affinity Designer and Photo]

Compress files from Affinity Designer and Photo so they are not so big. some kind of auto compress.

[Wrapping an image around another image]

Thanks Meb.

[Wrapping an image around another image]

Missed that sorry.

[Wrapping an image around another image]

Here's a simpler way: duplicate the sword, remove the FX of the duplicate, create rectangles over the areas of the sword that should be above the dragon, add those rectangles (boolean operation), then drag the duplicate layer of the sword over the resulting layer of the boolean operation in the Layers panel to use it as a clipping object (a single layer does all the clipping).

[Polygonal Lasso Tool]

Didn’t I say just this above, uncle808us?  ;)

To answer your second question: unfortunately, you can use the Pen Tool Method only in the way I indicated, when you are using Affinity Designer. These options are available only in Affinity Photo. The context toolbar has no “Selection” button in Affinity Designer, and there is no “Quick Mask” mode.  :)

Yea I guess I did not understand what you were saying.

[Polygonal Lasso Tool]

 

Here's a tip: if you press and hold ⌘ (cmd) while clicking on a layers's thumbnail in the Layers panel Affinity will create a selection from its content.

Good tip from Meb.

[Polygonal Lasso Tool]

 

People should be using the Pen Tool (in straight line mode - from the context toolbar) - then using the "Mask" and "Selection" buttons to turn it into a selection.

Where is a tutorial on this? Where is the context toolbar?Are the"Mask" and "Selection" buttons in the context tool bar.

 People want to know. :wacko: Using Designer

Can you change from curve to selection in Designer? I don't see how to do it.
