Hi. After reading more posts here on the topic of making patterns with Affinity Designer, it seems that there is an issue when working with raster images. Do you know if the developers are working on this issue? I can make a video, but it seems like my problem is similar to that of others and there has been no solution for them.....

I'm still new to Affinity Designer. Do I make a video within the program (I know procreate can do this) or do you mean a video using my phone?

Hello all, I have also been having trouble with using the pattern preview method (a la Liz Kohler) with Affinity. When I use the process using some simple artwork made within Affinity, I have no problems. However, I use photoshop for all of my art and so would like to import images or layers from images into Affinity to make into a pattern. I have used several methods to copy/paste or import images into Affinity. However, when I try to create a pattern with these, the size and position of the symbol boxes change so the pattern does not match up. I start with Artboard 1 at 3000x3000 px with my art in 3 layers. Artboard 2 is made of up four 3000x3000 squares (as described in Liz's video). As soon as I duplicate and move one of the layers on Artboard 1, the corresponding squares on Artboard 2 change size so the pattern doesn't match correctly. Since I am successful with my test run using art made within affinity, the problem has to be with the imported art. Can anyone help me understand what I am doing wrong? Thanks very much, Laura/GinkgobyLaura.com
