[Affinity Publisher Text Background Color Question]

Thanks again I'm just experimenting with the table tool today because I've never used it.

[Affinity Publisher Text Background Color Question]

Thanks. I'm putting text into table cells. My next question would be is the text in a table considered artistic text or text frame or can table cells have either artistic text or text frame text.

[Affinity Publisher Text Background Color Question]

I want to know if there is an option when using text with a background color to add padding between the text and the background color, so the background color extends farther out to the left & right or top & bottom of the text.

[Affinity Photo Is It Possible To Paint With The Gradient Map]

Thanks for the video. I can now paint the colors of the mask onto the sketch. As for you question, I have no idea. I've never digitally painted anything before I just stumbled across the video and thought I would try it. For now I'm getting the results I'm after so I think I'm good. Thanks again for your help.

He’s using a gradient map to paint light onto characters.

[Affinity Photo Is It Possible To Paint With The Gradient Map]

Thanks for the reply. I'm still having trouble I added the gradient mask then made a new layer filled it with black clipped it to the gradient map then added a new layer in-between the gradient and the black layer. However I'm getting very different results. For example the gradient mask colors still show (instead of the b&w sketch) and if I try and paint on the new layer (in between the map and black layer) nothing happens. I've attached my file if anyone wants to show me what I've done wrong.

Ran across this will searching for digital painting videos on YouTube and was wondering if it is possible to do this in Affinity Photo. So far, I'm not having much luck. I'm having trouble when he gets to the part with the clipping mask.

[Affinity Photo No WIA or TWAIN Support]

Sorry for the late reply, life can be annoying at times.

It's the HP ENVY Photo 7855.

[Affinity Photo No WIA or TWAIN Support]

I know you can't scan in images from your scanner directly into Affinity Photo on Windows but for whatever reason my scanner can only scans images in jpg or pdf format. So my question is if I scan a photo in and save it as pdf is it lossless or is it compressed like a jpeg. Because if it's lossless I can just bring it in then save to a different format.

[Affinity Designer How To Cut Out This Space]

Here's the file. I works if I delete the resulting curves from the layer panel, but I usually just select the segment or segments I want to delete with the move tool and then press delete. No idea why it's behaving this way now.

Well never mind I closed this file out reopened it and it's working as expected. Don't know why it wasn't working before that but it's working now.

[Affinity Designer How To Cut Out This Space]

What I'm trying to do is just keep the space in between the two slanted rectangles. I converted the ellipse to a curve then added nodes at the intersections of the rectangles and the curve, selected all nodes and broke the curve. I thought this would leave me with the curve cut into sections and I could just delete the large sections of the curve leaving just the small section between the rectangles. However, I wind up with no selectable sections at all.

[Publisher Text Styles Paragraph Decorations Can't Set Fill]

Thank you. I thought fill was checked but it was not. Everything is working as expected now.

[Publisher Text Styles Paragraph Decorations Can't Set Fill]

I'm using Publisher 1.10.4.1198. When I try to add decorations to an existing paragraph style or a new paragraph style, I can't change the fill option. I click on it and the color panel does not open. I've made sure that enable decorations is checked.

[Publisher Workbook Root Box Brochure Problem]

Just started working on this tutorial and have run into a little problem. Page 185 has you create a text frame with 3 columns on panel 1 then drag and drop the ethical, sustainable, and responsible text from the copy in the other text frame. The ethical text drags and drops fine into the first column but the other two will not drop into column 2 or 3 they will only go into column 1. I have tried this with and without column breaks. 

Never mind I got it to work. I restarted Publisher and everything is working fine now.

[Using Affinity Programs On New Computer]

I recently bought a new computer to replace an old one. I want to use my Affinity programs on my new computer. So, do I just uninstall the programs on the old computer then download the programs on the new computer and use the same keys?

[Designer Transparent Background Problem]

Thanks. Something so simple didn't even occur to me. I hunted through ever layer looking for a peach rectangle.

[Designer Transparent Background Problem]

I worked through this icon design tutorial and everything went fine until I setup to export the icon as a png. I have this light peach color where I thought I would have transparent pixels after disabling the the reference grid layer. I solved the problem by copying the icon group into a new document and exporting from there.

I posted my file if anyone wants to look at it and see you can find where I messed up.

[Cropping destructively]

+1 for a destructive crop option.

[Best Way To Remove This Noise]

Thanks for the replies. Sorry for the late response. FFT helped some but not as much as I hoped so I used it combined with dust and scratches which left minor blurryness but it's a small part of the over all image.

I thought G'MIC was just a plugin for Gimp. I didn't know it could be used with other programs.

[Designer Stroke Custom Pressure Settings]

Thanks everyone that helped a lot. Good to know there are ways to save my favorite pressure settings so they can be used in any document.

[Designer Stroke Custom Pressure Settings]

In the stroke panel I know I can save custom pressure settings but they only seem to be stored with the document I'm working on. When I create a new document none of my saved presets are there. Is that the way it's supposed to work or am I missing a setting that allows them to be saved so they can be used in any document? 

[Designer Divide Function Trouble]

I closed Designer then reopened it and when I did it again I got 4 curves this time. I'll experiment with this some more because the shape needs to be one curve to do the rest. If not I'll just move on.

[Designer Divide Function Trouble]

I'm following this YouTube tutorial and where he divides the two objects at the 6:00 minute mark he gets two distinct curves as where I wind up with three curves. The upper right curve is to be deleted but the bottom left shape is supposed to be one curve but I have two. I have no idea why this is happening. Any help would be appreciated.

[Affinity Designer Vertical Stroke On Line]

Yes that looks like what I'm going for.

[Affinity Designer Vertical Stroke On Line]

I'll check out the appearance panel (I'm completely new to Designer). This would be for any line or curve I draw or stroke on a shape. I just used that illustration as an example of what I wanted.
