I have my text now on my page and I want to drag in some Picture Frames but they won't drag over. Im going back through the videos but if someone has a quick way to troubleshoot I'd appreciate it. Thanks

ok I think I got this worked out finally.

Here is a video showing what I'm not understanding. I've been watching all your tutorials but somehow I have missed these settings. https://share.getcloudapp.com/4gu7ljZG

Looking if anyone knows of any Free Money Back Guarantee or Satisfaction badges designed in Affinity Designer I can adapt to my need? Thanks

I would love some tutorials on:
- How to spice up a simple screen shot or picture of my lead magnet. For example: skew it, add a shadow, maybe perspective reflection below it, angle it. Im constantly needing to do this for various Lead Magnets I use in my online marketing.

I meant if it was at 0. That is what happened to me. I had no idea this had to be set.
-
Maybe as a user like me drags the lever the Maximum Letter Spacing automatically moves if its not already set to a higher number.

ok will try larger size. Thanks

Its called Helvetica Neue. Its been on my machine for so long I don't remember where it came from. just tested it does the same thing with regular helvetica that come installed.

Getting back to this. Yes I had the dimensions wrong. Its actually 400 x 100 or 200 as suggested. So what Im not understanding is the best way to set the original? Do I create a large file say 1200 x 400 place my images and text, then export as a png file then shrink in the app? I've always heard in wordpress it's best to import images at the size you want them so it doesn't slow down load times. Ive always had a hard time understanding how to get smaller images to look clear. Appreciate this discussion.

Here is a video of what Im trying to do. I appreciate input as to what Im doing wrong.
thank you

So is it best to create the overall image at hi res then in the application where I use it shrink it down? For example, in this case I want my final to be at 100 x 400. Do I create it much larger then scale on the webpage or am I thinking this wrong? My original headshot images are very large. What is the best way to shrink them then use in my signature goal?

here was my first attempt.

Need help understanding how to best proceed. Using Affinity Photo. Have an image that is 600 x 600 px at 72 dpi. What is the best way to shrink so it shows up clear to see when I place it on a web page?
What I did was to write the signature with a font that looks like script then import the persons image (with a circular mask around it that I saved as a png file out of Affinity Photo) and place it below the signature. Problem is its really blurry when I try and use on a webpage.
Can someone enlighten me as to what I am missing or best way to go about this? Thanks

Sooner the better. Been using this a while and seems I need it a lot in the internet marketing world and in drawing diagrams for business curriculum.

What is the best way to create an arc arrow in AD? I used the brush tool one of the forum participants posted but they take forever to make them smooth and perfectly rounded. They never look clean. Would love this option built in and easy...
-
Everyone is aware of these versions of the arrow, but the type arrow feature that people need so badly is the type that automatically added to the end of drawn stroke. This type of arrow head offers the most flexibility. The type of arrows people are so desperately in need of are arrows required for technical drawing. Imagine this extreme scenario:
I don't have assets as an option.

Hey Ronnie,
I just discovered this neat little trick for quickly making vector arrowheads using AD's pressure control palette. Check it out:
Screen Shot 2015-01-24 at 11.53.08 AM.pngCan also be used for tails...
Screen Shot 2015-01-24 at 5.08.52 PM.pngHow did you start the Arrow? Im not understanding from the diagram. Looks great. Also, if Affinity Design is seeing this please build this in I need arrows all the time...Because its not clear how to build them I waste a ton of time each time I need them. Thanks

Ash, when will it be available in the iBook store? I am trying to eliminate all books I have to carry around. Happy to pay, I appreciate the hard work and look forward to studying this guide. Thanks

I have a regular need to create visual processes. Right now the one Im working on has topics around like an imaginary circle. I'd like to have wide arrows following the circle to show the flow of steps to follow. What is the best way to create these arrows?
A tutorial would be ideal.
Thanks
Ed

gdenby, thanks for taking the time. I got it working. Watched all the videos on Affinity Designer on Lynda.com and Im off to the races now. Thanks again for your time! :)
Inline Lines to Write on - Affinity Publisher
in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Posted
I have imported some tabs from Apple Notes that were using the line feature. Basically it looks like lines people can write on.
After import, the lines disappeared. What is the best way to achieve the same effect? I want to create a space people can write some notes in a guide Im creating.
Thank you
