Hello, Everytime I start AFD or AFPHO I need to reload my custom preferences. How do I keep them active without the need of reloading them everytime ? Thanks.

This is what I am doing now. Since they are constrained and linked I select one value and the other is updated. I don't need rounded values but similar scales for different layers. All 80% etc... Thanks for the info.

Nice to point it out.

I would like to scale a layer or a layer group to the same %. For example: scaling layers to 80%. How do I do this. I can't find any windows related to this. I can select and then drag but I would like to enter a value so all the layers get the same value. I can select the layer and use the transform window but there are no percentage options. UPDATE: Found the answer here !

Nice. Thank you.

I found my brush after a lot of searching. So I can confirm that this option would be a real time saver and practical!

Ok. Good to know. I will brush up my note taking. Indeed, at least I can see the stroke which will help me track it down. Thanks.

What I would find really usefull is being able to see what brush was used for a stroke. Can we allready see this? I am trying to find which brush was used on a stroke in AFD. I can select the stroke in the layers but it won't tell me which brush. I know I should have noted it but there...

🙂

Hello, Just wondering if I should update while I am still with Catalina.

Yes. that was it. Thank you very much.

So overlay works fine on the texture but once I drag it into my vector layer. Nothing. I am doing something wrong. I will start from scratch. Texture is dragged inside vector it is not on top. Layers 2 image.

Hello, I imported a texture in AFD--> Pixel The texture is light white. My shape is made in AFD--> Vector When I drag my shape unto the texture it works fine for the texture but I lose my shape color (green). Recolorize works best at the moment. What is the best method for adding a texture to the shape and preserve the color of the shape and stroke width color control? In the process I lost the ability to manage my stroke.

Thanks to you both. That's it. I have my own shortcut for duplicate layer. I wasn't using command+J That works.

It is a pixel layer. I can copy the selection and paste it into another layer. I just have a memory of making a selection in a pixel layer and when I duplicate the layer only the selection is copied over to the new Layer. I might be wrong.

I use to be able to make a selection and duplicate the layer. The new layer only had the selection part. Maybe I changed some setting but now I get the whole layer duplicated and not just the selection. Missing something ? Thanks

Will do.

I downloaded some textures I believe and forgot about it.

I hadn't noticed I was still connected to my Affinity account. Disconnecting solved most of the problems. Might not be related but in any case. Solved 95 %. Thank you.

Indeed there are some groups which expand. The go way beyond 2400 X 2400. I'm exporting different layers and some export fine. Others not. I found a workaround for now. Thanks for your help.

No drop shadow. I am having all sorts of issues so it might be something else. First time all these problems pop-up!

Sorry for that. On Mac: Catalina latest. For some reason I am having all sorts of problems that I didn't have before. I will erae all the preferences and see if that helps. I didn't change anything or added any software.

When I select the zoom tool I can't select any other shortcuts afterwards. I am on a pen layer. Zoomed in to be more precise. Pressed P or A....Nothing. Pressed V...Nothing. I am stuck with the zoom tool. If I select the layer with the image then all my shortcuts work. It toggles between the last two. Is this a preferences option I should select? Question: Is it because I am on the pen layer? If so, it is not very practical if I have to jump back to my image layer to regain control of my shortcuts. Thanks.

Hello, I am trying to export a simple shape. Document size: 2288 X 1287 Only one layer is selected. Only one object group is selected. When I export using selected object only it gives me 2400 X 2400.

Thanks for the link.
