[Skew images to look like they are on an angled screen]

On 7/14/2021 at 12:14 PM, MEB said:

Hi @empresita,
In Photo, with the image/website layer selected click the Live Filters button on the bottom of the layers panel and select Perspective.... The filter should be nested to the image layer in the Layers panel (if not, drag it over the image layer's thumbnail until a blue vertical line appears on the right of the image thumbnail then release the mouse button at that point). Drag the perspective bounding box handles on canvas to adjust the distortion as you see fit.

You can switch the document between apps going to menu File > Edit in Photo... (if you are working in Designer) and vice versa to add the live filter. After added and switched back to Designer you can adjust it in Designer by double-clicking the Perspective thumbnail in the Layers panel and adjusting it on canvas as you did in Affinity Photo.

Affinity apps do not support any kind of animation.

Hi MEB,

 

I am following these instructions, I believe correctly, I am placing the image to be overlaid.  I am finding that the placed image becomes quite pixellated, irrespective of file type.

Any ideas on what I am doing wrong here?

[Does anyone use Publisher for proposals linked to a database?]

I know the data aren't updated automatically, but they can be reimported manualy.

That’s cool for the use case I’m thinking it’d be a full update each time with each proposal. 
 

thanks for the advice everyone!

[Does anyone use Publisher for proposals linked to a database?]

Hi there,

I’m thinking through how to optimise my client management workflow (and have an impressive client proposal).

If possible I’d like to create a template in Publisher that can import client provided data/text (or my tweaked version). 

How do you approach this? Do you link this to a google sheet? Do you integrate into a CRM, if so, which?

Can Publisher cope with simple data infographics? Eg %age circle chart or bar graphs?

Tips and thoughts or links to tutorials on this very much appreciated!

Apologies, not sure what the search term here should be, could someone please point me to a tutorial as to how to skew an image (say of a website) so that it looks like it is on a screen within an image?

 

I have the full suite of products but assume this is achieved in photo?

even better, is there a way to animate so that this look like it is scrolling down a page.... or is this achieved better in Divi say?

[Publisher crashed and corrupted the file]

Thanks for checking, I shall work remotely from now on!

I have started again, I have the above as references, so I can re-create more simply than the iteration process.

 

 

[Publisher crashed and corrupted the file]

Any joy...?

[Publisher crashed and corrupted the file]

Done!

[Publisher crashed and corrupted the file]

I have started from scratch, importing a picture from google drive crashed it again.

 

The previous crash happened when I was looking to save to Google Drive.

Is all my work lost?

 

I have printouts, and jpg exports but no second file, is all effort lost?

 

See attached error:

 

[Publisher template install on Mac]

Scratch that, I have discovered that the auto-update thingy is not in the online account, but the app account area!

[Publisher template install on Mac]

Hi there,

 

I have searched the forum but do not seem to be able to find recent instruction on how to install templates into Designer.

 

I have followed these to a point, but either cannot locate where the auto-install thing is in my account, or unable to select the templates when working manually, as the files are greyed out.

 

Any tips that can help get me started?

 

Thanks!

 

[Animation/Overcapture video possible from 360 panoramas?]

Awesome, thank you Dan

I have found theta+ app in the meantime, but would prefer something more desktop, more powerful and I am loving Serif's capabilities thus far 

[Animation/Overcapture video possible from 360 panoramas?]

Hi there,

 

This might be a very daft question, but is it possible to create an over capture video from a panorama using serif?

 

Thanks

We have not decided yet, but we are just about to launch some brand new creative content, and feel it would be unfair to finish the sale just at the point we are encouraging people to consider this new Affinity Store items, so I can say that we will be keeping the 50% off sale going for at least another 4 weeks, so I hope that is long enough for you to sort out the funds.

Great stuff, thank you! The funds are there, it's the technology, the banking app that allows web purchases crashes

[We want to help (again)]

Quick question when is the last day of the 50% off discount? I'm currently trialling and want to buy, but still need to resolve a Spanish bank card issue when making internet purchases.

[We want to help (again)]

Hello Ash,

I would like to say thank you, despite some of the negative comments from those who paid years ago, I really value the discount given, I'll sign up as soon as I can resolve my internet purchase issues with my bank.

During this whole pandemic I had my upcoming contract cancelled, and as I was moving countries at the time, have not had a decent income in more than a year. This scenario has been a mixed blessing in that it has allowed me to spread my wings into my new entrepreneurial world, and my new ventures can potentially help me keep things afloat here in Spain, I have no support network other than my own initiative as am am ineligible in both my old and new country, and otherwise previously stood on my own two feet.

I suspect that those griping that they paid full price years ago are getting at least some help from their governments, and not required to pay monthly taxes to be self employed and live on savings (mostly now depleted). 

I have discovered your earlier lockdown videos on youtube, and have been working through those, what a brilliant idea! 

So, thank you again Ash.

Use Select>Select Same to change a common color.

Thank you, that will do! You are a star!

[Free brush packs - Both Vector and Raster]

Thank you Jeremy, I am going to practice with these this week! I am trialling, but pretty certain I shall buy, I am loving the community already and the power I can see in Affinity. I am moving away from 'the other place'.

[Divi .ai file editing, global colours swatch]

Hi there,

I don't appear to be able to find an existing answer in the forum on this, I am looking to edit some Divi .ai files and i am sure that this is possible in Affinity (I am trialling).

I am following these instructions: https://www.elegantthemes.com/blog/divi-resources/how-to-change-the-colors-of-divis-copywriter-layout-pack-illustrations (second method, the first method wasn't good enough).

I am fine until I get to step 6, but I am struggling to see how I 'grab' the existing global colours in the file set, using the advice for 'the other place'. 

Does anyone know how to do so? Otherwise I am selecting elements one by one!

Thanks!
