Search, find or filter layer name

+1 - I'd say for such a powerful tool like AD it's a must have! -

hape13 reacted to a post in a topic: Preview quality differences between Affinity Photo and Designer
-
Hello, I tried to search for answers but didn't find anything helpful. Apologies if this has been covered in previous answers. For a long time I was wondering why the preview in Affinity Photo is not as good as in Designer. Today I updated to version 2 and checked if this is improved but it seems to be the same as before. I attach two screenshots showing the difference. Thanks in advance.

Yes, thanks again. That helps but creates just another pixel layer inside the group which I then have to select separately before the export. Which gives basically the same result as mentioned as my workaround in my first answer. It would provide just straight forward working if it'd work like expected… • Exporting the whole canvas takes the size of the whole canvas • Exporting a selection (no matter what content the group has) takes the size of the selection IMHO nothing else makes sense. Cheers, HaPe

Thanks again so much @v_kyr for your answer and the video. This is exactly what also worked for me over years now and in most recent cases. Except the preview window which I never used. BTW: Your video example shows best that it is ONLY useful with a colored background. For PNG exports with transparency I could also ask my grandma how the export might exactly look like (if she were still alive) 😉. I figured out that the adjustment layers are the reason. Obviously it's simply impossible to export something in the frame of the group when they are part of it. Which I personally find really weird and totally confusing. Thanks again and Happy Easter! 🐰

Thanks so much @v_kyr for your quick answer. That seems to be the problem because none of the layers inside the group look like being selected. Thanks also for the "Vorschau" hint. I never used it but this indeed gives a third view that differs from the document size (being exported) as well as the selection size and therefore IMHO is even more confusing than helpful. I would definitely find it just logical if I select a group with the correct displayed size in my document and it'd take it as the term "Just Selection" promises. If I have to dig into my group which might have a bunch more layers than in this case and find out what't the issue (if I were able at all which is obviously not the case) I am more fast with my workaround to duplicate the group and use "Rasterize and Trim" to get the result I wanted to have. But IMHO that is a totally unnecessary step. I can hardly imagine who wants to select a group and move/copy/paste … whatever - it with missing components that are belonging to it?

I like to export a selection from AP/AD with its measures. I have… • the layer group selected • it shows the correct measures in the transform panel • I choose "Just Selection" … but the exported size is always the document size. Where do I go wrong? I am sure it worked for me a hundred times but not in this case. I attached a combined screenshot showing all values. Even in German I thing you got the idea and issue. Thanks.

Hi Dan, I just uploaded a ZIP file with 4 versions. The initial version is from August, 30th with no changes. All other versions I used inspired by your idea. But I couldn't get it to work. In some cases the picture frame moves to the text bloc above where it doesn't belong to. Also in some cases it doesn't keep the format which is pretty time consuming to correct. But maybe related to my lack of knowledge. Thanks again so much for your help!

Hi Dan, thanks so much for your reply, your idea and your offer. I really appreciate it! Unfortunately I just started a one way business trip yesterday. I am not sure if and when I have the time to follow up with your idea or offer. I just wanted to let you know in between. I'll definitely will come back to this topic at least the week after the next. Thanks again! Cheers, HaPe

Hey all, I wonder if there is a way to move content over different sites. I created a document with an overview about products. Each of this sections (groups) on the page contains text as well as two images. When a new product has to be added it should be on position 1. This means I ideally like to move all other products over all pages one step down and insert the new one on top of the document. Of course the movement has to be precise so that the relative positions of the products over all pages stays the same. A screenshot is attached, which hopefully helps to make clear what my goal is. Is there a way to realize it without the need to move each and every of the sections manually? Thanks!

"Edit In…" Option Greyed Out

I actually have this problem using a MacBook Pro, running Sierra, V. 10.12.4. Any solutions? From Photo to AD seems to work. https://www.dropbox.com/s/sz34q4t9kqb0zk7/2017-05-12_15-31-08.png?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/y7fyyl4oy9ireh9/2017-05-12_15-30-25.png?dl=0 -

Hi, I often have to work with graphics from PDF files. They're divided in hundreds of layers. I know the function to find a specific part in the layers and I also know the kind of "force selecting" by pressing the Command key. But that doesn't help really because in most cases the objects that I have to select together aren't neighbors in the layer panel. Mouse framing either doesn't help it selects simply nothing. For example I have to catch all these objects with one action. In fact, there's many stuff around it. ;) Is there a simple way to do that avoiding to select them character by character and group them? Any help is appreciated. Thanks, and regards ... hp

Found out the solution: I just resized the document using the document settings. ;)
