iuli reacted to a post in a topic:
Affinity is joining the Canva family. RIP ?
-
and don't forget about Substance3D! Same story there......
-
oh this is actually not half bad, that could be a workable solution, thank you. Just means I'd have to have every curves twice, but that wouldn't be a problem. Thank you. That leads me to a follow up question though, I assume it is not possible to mask parts of a layer effect, like we can in Photoshop?
-
thank you @h_d, this is indeed a bit too much of a work around 🙂 It's funny, as much as I love the Affinity products over Adobe, it's these little things that can trip you up and annoy you...
-
thank you. Not ideal, but at least a work around.

sorry I have to come back to this @G13RL, how did you create these? did you create a small bitmap image with the gradient and then used that as a bitmap brush? In that case, I assume the gradient cannot be adjusted on the fly, if I needed to change the gradient, I would have to great a new image to use as a brush, correct? Many thanks. I'm fairly proficient in AD, but haven't used brushes much for the things I do.
-
Sorry if I wasn’t clear enough 🙂
-
That still applies the contour gradient to both sides. I‘ll have to try to make it work with brushes, this is exactly what I’m trying to do, thanks.
-
Thanks, but unfortunately, if the path is open ended, to contour follows on both sides
-
I feel it’s not possible in AD, but just to be sure, is there a way I can apply a gradient to the stroke width? I mean, I know I can apply a gradient to the length of a stroke, but can I do it also to the width, so that gradient would follow the path of the stroke? My first thought that it maybe could be done via layer effects, but I couldn’t figure it out.

This just happened to me too. I was working on a document last night, finished and saved it via the in document function. To my surprise today when I opened it again, all my work I had done last night was gone. It didn’t save anything last night. Very annoying and frustrating, I have to redo everything, but I guess I learned my lesson.

Thanks @MEB, changing to the alpha channel was what I was missing. I appreciate the non-destructive workflow, but sometimes it would be ok to just throw a quick change at the mask without creating additional layers. Like I can do with Blur adjustments, I can just applies these directly to the mask. Follow up question, is there a way to see the final result of my mask? I would like to see how hard I made the transitions from black to white.
-
I feel like I'm being a bit stupid, but I just can't figure it out. I'm using a curve adjustment layer, with a grey scale image as a mask. As you can expect, a mask is just a normal pixel image, meaning I can manipulate it how I want, use a brush, whatever. What I'm trying to do is to increase contrast of the mask image, by using an adjustment like curves or levels. But I just can't figure out how to use adjustments on a mask! It always creates a new, separate adjustment layer, not manipulating the existing mask. What am I missing?
-
Dear @Callum I just wanted to come back to this to see if you have any feedback. Many thanks
-
Ah right, should have mentioned that too. The quoted statement is wrong. Soft Proof adjustment always at the top of the layer stack.
-
It depends what you are planning to do. Print? Then definitely soft proof on with the correct CMYK profile right from the beginning as the very first step. (And of course turn it off for export )
