I'm using the built-in macOS emoji font quite often in Affinity Photo. However, for some reason, a lot of the emojis with humans are not displayed correctly. For example, if I input the 👨‍⚕️, AP will instead give me 👨‍ ⚕. And if I try to input 🙋‍♀️, I get 🙋‍ ♀. See attached screenshot (the emoji input palette to the right and the result to the left). They seem to work fine in all other applications. Does anyone know if there is a workaround not involving other software? Running latest versions of Affinity Photo (1.10.4) and macOS Monterey (12.2.1).

I'd like to second this feature request. Many things in Affinity Photo works just like in Photoshop, but this is one of the small quality of life features I really miss.

Yes, it would be very helpful to be able to pick up and just continue drawing a curve like you can in Illustrator (I'm trying to make the switch from Illustrator to Designer).

Ah, got it! Thanks! My problem seem to be that I'd like to keep the layer mask. When I take that layer away, it works like your example. I probably have to go the rasterize way to make it work like I want. Keeping a copy of the layer before rasterizing is a solution I can live with. Thank you for help and time, it's very appreciated!

When I try that, the selection is back to showing the whole layer again and not only the visible layer content, making the perspective transforming wrong. It transforms both content and mask though, just as I want. Maybe I'm doing something wrong here?

Thanks! Is there a way to accomplish the same result if I also want to use the perspective filter, or am I out of luck? The rectangle shape didn't want to play along when I tried doing perspective.

Hi there! New Affinity Photo user here. Coming from Photoshop, and even though many basic features and shortcuts are the same, there are a few things I have problems with. I have googled, looked at YouTube tutorials and searched the forum and FAQ, so I hope you'll have mercy on me if this is a common question that I managed to avoid. When I mask a layer, and try to rotate the masked layer, the object frame selects the full layer. See attached screenshot. The example image has a somewhat tight frame, but when I mask larger layers, it's getting really hard to work with. Is there any way to only make the frame only go around the visible content? If I chose "Rasterize & Trim..." I get the kind of selection I'd like, but is there a feature or workaround to this that avoid rasterizing the layer?
