Capitano's question has been asked a long time ago and was posted as a feature request, if I remember correctly. I ( sort of ) resolved the problem by adding some much used colors to the grey palette. They are colors I use most when starting up a drawing to differetiate between the various objects if they're very close together.

That's right That's right That's right

Hope this helps: Try View > Grid & Axis Manager > Select Show Show Axis editing handles. Top Left Hand corner now shows the grid axis handle (green & red marker lines) You can drag by the cross point to move the grid to your liking. Stay Safe ! C.L.

Aha, got it, thank you. It seems really messed things up right from the beginning. I'm going to have another go at it with your suggestions. C.L.

Hello, Sean. Thanks for your reply. Just goes to show you that not every change is for the better. As it stands now, it means an extra step when trying to pinpoint a guideline. Too bad, it was OK in 1.7. KEEP SAFE !

Thank you both very much for your help. I'm going to try your suggestions. Just one more question regarding styles : I also went the "Edit > Create Style" route. Both prior to creating a drawing, so beginning with file>new>edit>create style>draw the pattern>export as png - as well as file>new>draw the pattern>edit>create Style. The result was nil. And I can't find anything in Help about this either. Any suggestions on how to use the "Create Style" menu item ?? Thanks and KEEP SAFE !! C.L.

I've been trying to create a style, to no avail I'm sad to say. I know I'm doing something wrong, but can't figure out what. I've tried "create from selection", tried to export to png (no background) and then import that file as style, in short, I've tried every which way, including "new category etc.etc." but I just can't get it to work. What I need is to create a style from just the harlequin pattern, without the background. Could someone please shed a light on this ? By which I mean: step by step ? Thanks in advance, C.L. harlequin.afdesign

In future, I shall refrain from putting my foot in it (again...) Sorry.

Both versions of Photo , Retail & Beta 181 and 182.173 It is impossible to move placed guides on-the-fly within the canvas using the node tool. It is only possible to move them when the pointer is INSIDE the rulers (H & V). It used to be possible in earlier versions, e.e. 1.7.XXX This goes for both versions of Photo as well, retail & Beta.181 & 182.173 Best, C.L. - See for example the Mov file attached to this same bug report for Designer Beta.

Thanks for the info, Dan !

Hi, Chris, No I have not been able to reproduce this again. Tried NIK & Topaz filter just now, both functioned normally. "Authorize Global" button is still greyed out, though. BTW : Did the crash report come through OK ?

In 173 I could draw a straight-lined polygon tool, select the nodes I wanted changed into smooth nodes. This is no longer possible : Straight-lined polygons now close automatically which hampers designing very smooth curved lines. Please bring the old function back. See screen recording, Thanks.

Hi, R C-R : I've looked at that same folder : there's a load of files in there as well, going as far back as 2018 and as recent as yesterday... Wonder what they are, seem to be mainly Web- pics. ???? Maybe when the 1.8.1 storm has passed, one of the Serif team will have time to reply to this post. Meanwhile : best regards.
