When people ask me for videos and screenshots it's often from something I'm working on that I don't wish to put out on the internet yet - until it's finished - so it takes me time to sort something out when often I'm in the middle of something and it's late and I'm tired or whatever - I figured that just explaining in words would have been sufficient in this instance ! I just thought that someone on here who knows the ins and outs of the software might have figured that I was actually adding the pixel layer to an object and not an actual official vector layer and maybe asked that initially ? or maybe if the software was designed in such a way that makes sense then I suppose then nobody would have wasted any time here If I create a simple vector OBJECT or layer as I like to call them since that's also what they are and apply a BASIC transparency to it and then add a pixel layer to it - it applies the transparency also to the Pixel Layer - If I apply a Gaussian Blur to the Vector Object and add the Pixel Layer it also affects the Pixel Layer - Transparency Gradient though - Nope ! That effect does not apply down through the hierarchy So apparently Vector Objects work like Vector Layers apart from when Transparency Gradients applied - I think this is a Design Oversight

I'm not refusing it's just every single time I ask a question the first reply is always asking for a screenshot or video - when often this is not required - adding these takes time which I don't always have So it works if I add a Vector Layer but if I draw a Vector Object the layer it forms isn't a Vector Layer ? What kind of layer is it then - it's either Vector or Pixel If Vector Objects are just Objects then why are they also represented as Layers and function as layers ? It just seems logical to me that if I can apply effects to this layer and add sub layers then the effects would work on the sub layers !

I just had a look at a basic example and no it appears adding Pixel Layers to Vector Layers with Transparency Gradients does not apply the Transparency Gradient to the Pixel Layer - doesn't seem right to me ? If I want to add a Pixel Layer to a Vector Boundary without applying the Transparency Gradient to it that might be applied to this layer then logically I would just think to create a new blank Vector Layer and add it to that ? I need to learn the different between Clipping and Masking too - I never use Masking because I just find it confusing - maybe I will find myself having to use it at some point to create more advanced effects though Sorry I don't quite understand what this diagram is showing but I'm completely exhausted after walking 70 miles in 7 days and trying to finish off a design - I'll come back and have a look later

What is the difference between making the pixel layer into a one child parent group or adding it to a vector layer ? I THOUGHT making the pixel layer into a subset of another layer was EQUIVALENT TO adding a vector layer component over it - and it seems to apply transparency gradients there so why the hell doesn't it when I add a pixel layer to a vector layer with a transparency gradient already applied ? I would have thought that by doing so I would be applying whatever effects are applied to that layer to the pixel layer I am adding as a child layer ! Sorry but I just find basic logic helps sometimes - otherwise what exactly are hierarchies for ?

Must be a bug then Yay for V2

I know This is not the issue

No there's no masking involved - just a standard hierarchy of layering without anything else added If there was masking involved I would have mentioned it

Vector layer with transparency gradient Add previously made Pixel Layer to Vector Layer so it is now the Parent Layer Transparency gradient has no effect on child/pixel layer Is that what it's meant to do or an oversight in the design of the platform or what? Does any one understand what I mean or will I just post all my questions as pictorial representations

I explained what I am doing - in I think plain English that made sense ? I know it helps sometimes but really - does every question I ask on here have to require a screenshot or video ?

Sure - but is it because the software is supposed to do this and needs fixed or because something wrong my end Can we look into that first before I provide an example file ?

I want to add some effects to about a dozen different layers I have a transparency gradient applied to - but the transparency gradient doesn't have effect on the pixel layer - sorry but what use is that ? Now I have to reapply the transparency gradients on a dozen layers all over the place 🤦‍♂️

Technically I just showed you are actually 2 years younger than you thought you were 😉

1989? 1987 was very early for them I'm not sure they would have cracked the international scene by then as their first EP Come On Pilgrim didn't come out until September 1987 Pixies Concert Setlist at Bizarre Special on May 13, 1989 | setlist.fm

Lucky you ! Where was that ? I'm just reworking this design minus the poster into a square format with better UFOs

So whether or not I hold a certain key down or not dictates whether or not it collapses everything down or just hides everything so it's all there when I reopen it? I don't know - is there not option to just collapse everything down on the iPad ? and if not why not ! Why are they always differences in functionality between the iPad and Windows? I get the interface has to be different but they should all feature the same basic features

Sorry but how I'm reading this thread - this is exactly what this thread is about From the first post: Creating a new Parent Layer and collapsing it does not collapse all the open layers within it - so when I reopen it they also fly open and if I end up with a massive list of open layers and get lost then "Collapse All Parent Layers" is a useful function If it's not a feature of the iPad then why not ? This a basic feature !

I'm clicking the chevron - where else would I be clicking to make the child layers appear and disappear ? The issue in question is how to collapse ALL the layers - ALL the parent layers - like when you right click on the layers menu in Windows - if it was just how to collapse one parent layer then there would hardly be an issue would there ?

Designer 2 - whatever the latest version is on an iPad Air 5th gen

Why wouldn't my keyboard send the right key code? These keys work like they should for other functions

Negative Why would it work there but not just by pressing the key on my keyboard ?

What is Option ? That's the symbol for Alt on my keyboard

I'm holding the alt key - cmd - cmd+alt while tapping this and all it's doing it closing that layer

Where do I find the option to Collapse All Parents on the iPad ?

I don't know about this new dual RAM rig - it's an HP Omen Gaming PC and I think bad for compatibility issues - some under the hood tinkering may be required All I can say is I didn't see any improvement in Gaming if anything slightly worse maybe ? and some other minor browsing issues Windows keeps wanting me to upgrade to 11 and I'm thinking - why are there two Windows anyway - why don't they just upgrade Windows 10 into whatever they want 11 to be ? 11 is the number of the Devil's Horns Buy a computer - wait 3 years - then slowly everything starts to go slower - it's a swindle
