  1. Thanks both. I usually would share my working file here but it's sensitive data as it contains images of students at school. I've experienced this issue in the past as well - I'll give that black colour selection a go.
  2. Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me. After masking an image, a shadow of it remains, as seen in the attached image. The mask is completely black in this area. Is there any reason why this is happening? Ami
  3. Hi @MEB, thank you so much for that. I think a critical step I was missing was changing to CMYK, as I was getting some odd results, and it seems to have worked perfectly when you've done it. Really appreciate it, thank you. Ami
  4. Bizarrely, I can't see the small borders no the image has uploaded, though I can certainly see them on the JPEG on my computer.
  5. Hello! Hoping somebody might be able to help me. I am cutting out some people in Photo using the Selection Brush Tool, using Refine and Output: Mask. After this, I'm copying the layer into Publisher (final piece document), but am finding that there is a border retained after masking, and if I try to paint this away in the mask it makes the background a slightly off colour. I have attached a screenshot to demonstrate what is happening, and a document where the effect is happening. I'd appreciate any insights! Many thanks, Ami Example File - Mask Borders.afpub
  6. Are you wanting the final result of your sketch to be a vector? If not I would suggest switching to the Pixel Persona and using the brush tool on a Pixel Layer, which in my experience is more natural and conducive to sketching.
  7. I would also like to see this as an option! I need to keep my artboards named for ease and reference, so the workaround of naming the artboards with a space doesn't work. I design large displays with multiple boards, and in my master document (which I link other documents to) I can see how the whole thing looks holistically, and I like to take a screen-grab of this for an easy reference point for my colleagues. However, when I am zoomed out to see everything (literally 2%), the artboard names are very intrusive.
  8. If you know how many lines of text you want around the circle, you could just create the text, change the point of rotation to the centre of the circle, then rotate it however much (maybe this will be mathematical) and Ctrl+J to power duplicate, meaning you'd end up with them evenly spaced around the entire thing.
  9. Isabel Aracama is the absolute best teacher I have seen on the Pen Tool, she has videos on YouTube, Skillshare and Udemy, and she's on these forums!
  10. I read this as you wanting to put an image inside a specific object on your image, to give it 'texture' If so, you'd want to use (and I hope I use the correct terminology here) a clipping mask.
  11. You can convert text to curves in Affinity Designer. Select the text with the move tool and in the context tool bar there is a button that says 'Convert to Curves'.
  12. Thank you all so much for your help!
  13. I've had to do this before many times - the only way I have found is to export one by one! Will the print shop accept one PDF with single pages in - that's easy to do
  14. Is it possible to create a curved text box, so that text along many lines (for example 5) all follow the same curved path? I am able to create a path for text along a curve just fine, but at the end it doubles back on itself, where I need several lines to follow that same shape. Creating a text frame from a shape just keeps the text straight but fits it to within the shape, which isn't what I'm after either. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!
