Thanks for the good wishes We live in a digital world where anything is possible if we are brave enough to think it....... will leave you with a photograph of my Service Canine 'Ruby' fitted out with DIY eyetracker hacks. Anything is possible HA! Cheers Wobbley

HA! you really want to know? but glad you like it, its taken me a while to personally DIY collect all the data and arrive at this. Data visualisation of our canine/human eyetracks, genome comparisons, auditory capture and physiological comparisons ie heart rates, ECG blood pressure etc etc It basically represents the close bond I have with my PTSD Service Canine - just 1 part of a visual arts project for my final year at uni. Glad you asked? HA! but thanks again mate Cheers Wobbley

@PixelPest - just tried it out and bingo you nailed it! As I have another 24 sections to complete your advice is perfect for what I'm up to. Looks like an allnighter here in Australia - I can see the light at the end of this tunnel - a big thankyou mate! Cheers Wobbley

@PixelPest Yep now you have me downloading latest version of Inkscape Thanks for sharing the knowledge!

@PixelPest Thanks for the heads up on Inkscape - I did use Inkscape 10 years ago when I began to search for alternatives to Adobe. I use it now when Im having issues with SVG's, it's extremely precise. WOW you have been with Inkscape since 2005? I take my hat off to you @R C-R summed it up with the UI, I go a bit crossed eyed with Inkscape as I need to work intuitively and at warp speed. With all the software I settle with the semiotic layout has to be king - this is where Affinity caught my eye and excels over Illustrator.... But I appreciated your time mate, one can never have too many options or advice..... thanks... Cheers Wobbley

@Dazmondo77 I downloaded a free Beta version of 'VectorStyler' for Win10 and yeh can see what you mean "could have achieved your goal in just a few clicks" Love the quick cut and paste.... Thanks for that, its a pretty decent vector companion for Designer - appreciate the advice Cheers Wobbles

I work quicker with Affinity (more intuitive) however I'm learning that there are times when I still need to use Illustrator I guess - you are correct, the mesh in Photo wasn't as exact as I needed - just used the pen tool in AI with envelope distort and whacked the warped vector straight back into Designer - all done! Appreciate you helping me develop a Designer/Illustrator workflow, your quick response saved me time looking for something that isn't Designer/Photo available Cheers Wobbles

Thanks for the quick reply mate Ah was scratching my head, thanks for pointing me in the right direction.... I did purchase photo as well! Cheers Wobbles.....

Sorry guys, trying to warp the highlighted vector to follow the established arch? (attached image) Yes I'm a learner driver that's come over from Adobe any tips will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks Joachim I have a smaller section to do tomoz, will give your advice a go - I love learning additional ways of approaching things..... I think they call it experience HA! @Garry - Will always thank those that offer their time..... Im normally the guy handing out advice in my field - its a thankless job! HA!

Thanks for replying Gary Sorry to sound confusing - trying to master the Affinity Designer UI and got a little lost. The clipping mask in Affinity Designer doesn’t work with vector shapes like it does in Illustrator - found that the Designer intersect tool did the trick........ And yes it took ages using the intersect tool as a 'cookie cutter' but its done. PHEW! Cheers Wobbley

Hi everyone, I'm a newbie to Affinity Designer and have been able to make the transition without too many problems.... except for now. I have attached an image to visually describe what I'm trying to do - How do I cutout each individual shape to be replaced with an individual image?????? (see uploaded visual) I appreciate anyone's insights so as I can move forward and learn some more :) Cheers Wobbley
