  1. I have a multi layer graphic on which I want to make a certain area shaped by a layer object appear in bw (i. e. saturation = 0). I was fiddling around with adaptations and masks (which behave different to AD1) but I didn't get it working. Is it possible at all? Thank You very much. 😊
  2. @thomaso Thank You very much. So when I want to use assigned dynamic colors ("global colors") there is also no way to use the same set of them in multiple documents? I have to define every single global color (in my case over 40) for each document again? The global colors are not part of any palette? BTW I find the label "global color" extremely confusing as insinuates an app wide ("global") effect, however it applies only to the very document in which it is defined. The special property of this color type could be reflected in its label by naming it "dynamic color" for example. @lacerto Very detailed overview to color name handling. 🙂 Thank You. But app wide names only help me to assign the right color, but assigning is still needed for every single color over all the many many objects over many many documents. I imagine of someone who creates a set of icons with a subset of them in different sizes. Now the client wants to have the outline color a little brighter. You now have, to open each file individually just to change the color of all the outlines? I'm sure I just haven't figured out the gold method yet.
  3. Thank You so much. Both ways seem to be appropriate for my usecase. However I also struggle with a palette, which I want to use likewise: When I have a couple of documents, where I have colored some areas in i. e. orange. When I now want to change the orange into a darker hue on all documents where I have applied this very "orange" (by own name) — how can I do so? When I define a global palette its a normal non-dynamic palette again. Do I have to re-globalize every single color again for each document?
  4. Hello everybody, I'm creating floor plans with Affinity Designer and have recurrent objects like printers, door bells, switch panels etc. that I want to appear identically in all documents. How can I create an object that I can use within my ad documents and that is still editable at one object? IOW: When I want to redesign the shape of the doorbell object (svg) I do this on the very root object and the effect takes place wherever this object is embedded? I couldn't find a hint about it throughout the forum or Google. Thank You very much in advance for Your support. 🐵 -Rembrandt
  5. Aaah, now I see. You're right. Thanks for nudging me in the right direction. 🙂 It is indeed hard to find there, when you want to apply a fixed spacing and do not know that it is handled like this. Now that I know where to find it I even prefer it that way, as it is even more and better configurable. Thanks again for that quick reply and all the best. 🎅
  6. I want to second that request. I often have text with multiple lines that are purposely not justified, and sometimes a single line of this text is a bit too wide. It is typographically the better way to adjust the word spacing, before squeezing the letters. So please add this configuration. 🙂
  7. Thank You so much for Your extremley quick response. 😊 I'm using Affinity Designer 1.10.6.1665 on Windows 10. Just as th_studio I've overcome this bug: When opening AD and clicking "restore" (i. e. Windows icon for making the window demaximized) the AD window does not show the resizing arrows when hovering with the mouse over the window's edges. Only the downright corner shows the tiny "triangle of action" which is in fact active. This is however hard to reach when the "restored" window is in full size and you have to move it fully upwards without snapping it to the display's upper edge (which maximizes it again). Just a couple of hours later I was able to move it to the last but one window pixel, then grabbed the downright corner and resize the AD window. From then on also the AD window's edges offer the resize arrows when hovering above them. If You still like to have screenshots of this I will try to reproduce this. Thanks again and all the best 🙂 -Rembrandt
  8. Hi there, I have the same issue with Affinity Designer. @th_studio How did You solve it? Thanks in advance -Rembrandt.
  9. Hi GarryP, setting the Blend Mode was out of my focus. Thank You so much for this absolutely helpful end unbelievably fast response. Awesome!!! Thank You once more and best wishes -Rembrandt.
  10. Hi there, I'd like to have an object that makes transparent (i. e. to the background) whatever it overlaps with. I have this issue many times and were always working around, but it would be really helpful, if I have a "forcing transparent" object like the ring for the o in the logo below: Then I could move around the transparent and alter its position until it looks best. What is the best way to achieve this? Thank You all very much in advance and best regards -R.
  11. Hey @firstdefence, I'm positively shocked! Thank You so much for this rapid, complete, helpful and well illustrated reply. This is really cool! 👍 With all my best wishes 😊 Rembrandt
  12. Hi there, I got a tilted rectangle and I want a circle to be aligned to the center line of the rectangle (see screenshot). How can I do this without bringing them upright, align them horizontally and turn them back again? Isn't there a magnetic snap to the middle/center of another object? That wouldn't solve my problem, because I need to adjust the distance between rectangle and circle along the imaginary middle line of the rectangle ... Thank You all in advance and have a merry X-mas. 🙂 Rembrandt
