Greetings! I'm wondering about the lack of any default styles and/or palettes for either Designer or Photo v2? Should I export them from v1 or are there downloadable versions available? It would seem like an opportunity to leverage v2 features is being missed here. Just to be clear, this isn't intended as a complaint: I'm happy with what I've seen so far, just want to take my work to the next level. Also, there are no Templates in the Account section. Samples, yes, but no Templates. Thanks in advance, Paul

I'm trying to remember 🤔 the term for an action that allows you to create a shape layer that allows layers below it to be transparent based on that particular shape layer. It's virtually the same effect as actual subtracting a part of a layer, but it's non-destructive. It's similar to a layer mask, but that's not what I'm referring to. Very handy feature, but I can't seem to find it in the help. Hopefully, I described it well enough for someone to know the correct term for it so I can figure out how to use it again. If not, I would be happy to provide more detail. Thanks in advance, Paul 😁

@Alfred I finally got a chance to try it on my Windows laptop, but I came to the same conclusion that you did: it can't be done with a touchpad. You can't simulate a left click hold followed by a right quick hold and release. In fact, the status message in the lower left isn't the same as it is on my desktop computer. I bet it would work if you plugged in a regular mouse, but I'm assuming that isn't convenient for you or you would have already tried it. Sorry about that, mate! If it's any consolation, even tho the alternating click and release does work, it's not extremely reliable so it's hard to work it into the workflow. Most of the time I just set the nodes and then come back afterwards and add the curves. Fortunately, it's only a minor inconvenience, all things considered.

Okay, so after much trial and tribulation, there IS a way to do this in Windows: When you want to create a straight line (at the spot you want to create it): 1) Press and hold the Left mouse button 2) Press the hold the Right mouse button 3) Release the Left mouse button 4) Release the Right mouse button After you get used to this series of actions, you can roll the two buttons quickly together and achieve the same effect. Then, queue your favorite version of Hallelujah, observe a fitting moment of silence and get on with your life! Again, my apologies to the posters who tried to help me arrive at this solution much earlier, but I was too obtuse... (Attn moderator: if you want to move this up to the top of the thread so more people see it, I wholeheartedly support that decision.)

@anon2 The statusbar shows Drag+RightMouse to create a straight line. However, I can't find "RightMouse" referenced anywhere in the Help I'm guessing it means to right-click, but all that does is bring up the right-click menu. I did find the post below in the forum, but that person didn't find it helpful either Apparently, you're supposed to be able to click both the right- and left-click buttons simultaneously? Yeah... no, that doesn't work at all.

I posted a question last week about issues that I was having with the Pen tool on Windows not matching up with a Mac behavior: Despite the kind and perseverant assistance of a few individuals, I was not able to get it resolved. So, I decided to download a trial copy of Designer on my MacBook to see if it worked on there the way that I was hoping it would, and, sure enough, it works perfectly. I also figured out the problem: in Windows, instead of the Control key functionality on the Mac being applied to the Ctrl key the Command key functionality on the Mac is being assigned to it So, I need to figure out a way to switch the mapping of that key Unfortunately, I'm not quite sure how to do that yet. In summary: applying the equivalent of the Mac Control key functionality to the Windows Ctrl key in Pen tool mode could solve this issue. I'm thinking that it may need to be applied inside of the software, but I'm hoping there's a workaround because that probably won't be something that can be done quickly. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance... (oh, in case a suggestion is to use my Mac instead of Windows, there are two problems: I only have a 30 day trial version installed My two nicest monitors are hooked up to Windows and it's not practical to switch things around at this time)
