I tell ya, just when you think you've got things figured out you don't! Haha Thank you so much I was really struggling with that one! I didn't realize it was only getting that effect because it was treating the background and the text as part of a whole. Thank you for explaining that for me – B

This is out of the normal for me with the way I usually apply these effects. The method I would like to use is the second one where it's placed inside the pixel DUCK layer. Also, when you go to merge the effect it just disappears. *Note this has happened with live layers and adjustment layers (Levels adj & halftone) Duck.afphoto

Awesome! thanks Sean!

I was playing around with type and textures; bouncing back and forth between programs (as one does) and then BOOM!!! Out of nowhere this layer decides it wants to look different in a different program. I just thought it was a strange behavior and figured I'd share it in case the devs see something I don't. My workaround was to rasterize and then take it over to designer. Idk if it's a bug or what, but it's literally never happened so I thought I'd share. focus.afdesign

Thank you both! I ran into @RevTim's tutorials shortly after posting this and figured out how to use the procedural texture properly on desktop

I just went from "These aren't the same controls on the iPad," to "This is so much easier than the controls on the iPad!" All in about under an hour thanks to you! Great tutorials Tim! Thank you for your hard work!

Each Tutorial deserves its own thanking! Thank you Tim!

Great tutorial Tim! On to lesson 2!

I was playing around in a CMYK document when I tried to apply a checkered effect using the procedural texture live filter and none of the presets were there. Converted the document to RGB/8 and it worked like normal.

Hey there! Sorry for the delay. So I don't know what was going on with it, but I can't recreate it either in new documents today. I'll be sure to share the file if it happens again. Right now I can't remember which specific file it was.

When you go to expand the stroke, the triangle(s) disappear. It seems to effect all caps. Workaround - Just don't

I'm talking about the shift + rotate = (0º, 45º, 90º). It's come up enough that I figured it was worth asking. I've checked for settings, but I could be overlooking it

That's perfect! Thanks Walt

When I first started I was apparently trying to make everything an asset, and now I hardly use the feature because of it. I'd honestly be cool nuking the whole thing if theres a file to delete somewhere in my computer.

Yep yep! I also get some smooth corners on the bottom of the shape inconsistently. Sometimes it’s only one and other times it’s multiple.

Contouring and then baking sometimes acts up whenever you go to bake the appearance. I recorded my screen with show touches on for the recipe if that’s cool. Love the tool! IMG_1643.MP4

So I just experienced this too. If you add a new vector layer and use it as a “group” it doesn’t change the text styling. It’s a good temp fix in the mean time.

How to recreate - Open 1080 x 1080 web doc - Create rectangle - Add 15 pt stroke - expand stroke - Corner tool From here I try to use the corner tool on the inside corners in order to round them out, but when I bake the corners, it converts my smooth nodes into sharp nodes. For now, my workaround is to adjust the stroke and remove the fill color without expanding, but this does happen enough to get me posting here haha. Thank you for all your hard work! looking forward to future features. affinity_glitch.mov
