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

Hide artboard names
Ami_M replied to wvanderzee's topic in Feedback for Affinity Designer V1 on Desktop
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. -

Text Alignment in Shapes
Ami_M replied to CdV's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
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.- 14 replies

PDF to paths
Ami_M replied to Designer1's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
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'. -
Curved Text Boxes
Ami_M replied to Ami_M's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Thank you all so much for your help! -
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!

Because I'm a horrible person using a non-local independent printer! 😂 Work stipulates I have to use Mixam for the books we produce and they have an upload system which wants single-page PDFs, and also when I send the print files to other companies they prefer having the single pages too. It's a boring job, but at least I get to design every day!

Hi again! I haven't touched Photo much but needed to apply a halftone live filter, I've now brought the document back into Designer (it will eventually go into Publisher), is there any way to make the filter affect the fill of an object and not the stroke? Thank you! Ami Test_Document_-_Halftone_and_Torn_Edges.afdesign
