I thought there was an Affinity Designer forum but Im not seeing it now so I hope this is in the right place. I've drawn a circle in AD and am typing text on it. Problem is, the text is upside down. How do I flip it over so it's above the line? Thanks

I switched over to Designer. Downloaded it yesterday so I could follow the training better. Im still trying to duplicate what you've shared above so thanks.

Can I just use the Donut draw feature?

Thanks. Which videos show how to make arrows that are following a full circle? Is there an arrow tool that allows me to attach the triangle to the end of a line?

Im looking for a manual for Affinity Photo but can't seem to locate one. Is there one and if so where can I download?

ok Im not seeing how to convert to a donut...is there a manual anywhere?

assuming I can do this in Affinity Photo?

very cool. Will try. thanks

that would explain it! thanks

No. Using a powerbook Mac

Yes, here is a screen cast http://www.screencast.com/t/OIhGGGVMv3

MEB, is there a trick to getting the small wave? I have everything I can think of after drawing a circle and it never comes up.

Im trying to create a diagram that is like a large circle only with the circle being made up of 3 arrows pointing clockwise. I don't see a "Tool" image that does this so I was wondering if anyone has a technique to do this? They are going to be "fat" or wide arrows where I will have text following the same contour inside the image. I have another post on how to get the text to follow the same contour. Thanks for any assistance in learning how to do this. Thanks

I have a circular diagram I am creating and want to type inside on a line that follows the same contour. Is there a video on how to do this anywhere? Thanks Ed

thanks

hi I took an image with a green screen background and removed the green with the selection bruch tool then did a mask layer. Now how to I touch up the edges around my hair where the green is still bleeding through? If there is a video on this I'd love to watch it. Thanks

Not sure I ever replied to this but it worked. Thanks a lot.

How in the world would I locate the artifact in Affinity Photo?

Does anyone know if this plugin will work with Affinity Photo? http://www.psdcovers.com It's a plugin for Photoshop

I'm getting a large block of space when I export a logo. It was originally created in illustrator. When I open it in Affinity Photo it looks fine (no added space above) When I set the Transparent background choice it looks fine. But when I export as a png or jpg I get this large space above the object. I'm using the latest version of APhoto 1.4.1 Here is what it looks like http://www.screencast.com/t/hJhcRi427s Thanks for any clues as to why this is happening. Ive attached the original file as well Martial Arts Basics Logo On Light.ai

you made my day. I didn't know about that Transparency selection in the menu...

I need a logo to upload to a membership site. I have the file in many formats but can't seem to get the background removed. Ive selected both EPS and PNG files to test but have no luck. When I export they still have the white background. Even when I select Export > Lanczos 3 > Selection without the background Im still getting the white. Anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong? Thanks

Re: Affinity Photo Im trying to create a circle with a check mark going through it. My thought was to use a circle and a Zapf Dingbat font that creates a check mark. But when I choose that font all I get is a black square. Does Zapf Dingbats work? Am I doing something wrong? Shows in my Font Book it's active. Is there a better way to go about this? Thanks

I want to bring a simple handout to life. This is for an opt in page Ive created on my website. Basically I have a smaller screen shot (png) file of my handout. What I want is to make it more appealing to the viewer. What I was thinking was to rotate say 30 degrees to the left, angle the perspective, tilt a bottom right corner, then add some shadow effects. Can someone outline how I would go about this? I will do this over and over again for many of my handouts. In the past Ive relied on other tools but they are extremely limited to what they can do. Any help is appreciated. Ive attached a sample handout so you can see what I mean. Thanks Ed

i do a lot of internet marketing. I want to have a picture of a handout on the page where someone gives me their name and email. I want the picture to be angled and possibly a lifted corner and shadow effects. Any tutorial on some ways to make a "product" or "handout" look nice with perspective would be great. I could create these all day long for not only myself but others who also struggle with getting the "look" just right. Thanks PS I attached a sample doc if you need an example of what Im talking about.
