I dont know what happened to the spaceman i resized it in Paint ,might have something to do with it renders i did using both X4 and Affinity some of it,some was just totally Affinity ,that includes my cutsom colors comming from X4 i cant belive they wont let you use 1 from the other like they did with the other versions ,you still can sort of as ive said ive got years of "elements " so 1 way i figured out how to use them for those who dont know this is how ive done it in x4 save it in photoshop then open up in Affinity thats whats working for me sometimes if ive used a specail mask or something when it opens up in Affinity it wont be the right color & I will have to change it back thats the only problem ive had so far,it saves everything including my layers that ive made ,so i can work on them 1 layer at time if i have to ,a little extra work ,but its cool through the years ive been told to try Vector drawing,instead of free hand like i do ive tried no matter how simple it might be,its always the same it ends up being a big mess,at this point i think ive just gave up on it

I wanted to do something difficult,a little so I did this Its from a coffee cup I have i put my spin on it the elements are from Serif X4 the confetti,balloons lettering i figured out how do this so after making a Affinity file out of it then i exported it as a jpg ,this does kinda like X4 ,its got somethings missing that i used quite a bit on X4 by the time i got done with this i was starting to feel comfortable using it,i still have some learning to do

hi all I finally got to try out Affinity out I will say its a differnt animal for sure! Ive had it for a while I really couldnt do anything with it,at the time I was taking care of my late mother,yeah she was really a handful its going to take me a while to get used to using this Ive been using X4 for a longtime ,started using Serif since Windows Xp,so its been a minute the butterfly I did freehand like ive been doing with X4 how ive done it that compared to this way is for sure differnt but this is a start my only thing is my black line is transparnet I dont know what what im doing wrong here other than that this how this turned out bugs bunny on the right I want to use my old stuff too,so ive been tinkering around with it using i did in 2014 if you look the picture on the right using the older serif is jagged running it through affinity it made everything smoother,kinda changed the grey a little i have years of stuff ive made with this & to remake them would take me a very long time,my elements that is i still have some learing to do bmbjr

hi all i guess my thing is im used to using X4 so its going to take me a while to get used to it i have been messing around with some of the how-tos the one im been is the fake galaxy i had to do the starfield twice ,i had a bunch of interuptions when i was doing it the other day so i finally got that part,in a bit im going to do the swril part again, so far its no looking so bad as far as using anything else other than photoplus i tried some of those others its what works for me ive tried to use draw plus i never could figure it out,then was free download for using it,everything i did with any of them just turns out wrong or just plain old bad so the messing around ive been doing with it,its differnt animalfor sure ive already figured out some of it like the line tool for say i just have to go about it a differnt way now its cool though im going to check out this thing on jpeg might be the way im doing new documents ,the old way it just had that one page with this newer way you have several differnt ways of doing it now like i said ive got some learning to do bmbjr -

hi all i have figured out how to get my X4 into this affinity what used was photoshop it was all there ,all my layers the way i named them everything ,it worked just like a charm i started messing around with it yesterday ,its a little overwhelming right now .both on my laptop & Ipad .i guess im used to using x4,the way this is made up now they are grouped together for the most part to me its kinda the same but differnt ,its got some added stuff ,some stuff its missing the 2 things its missing is the the deform tool & the line tool,which i use both of these alot and the way it saves im used to saving in jpeg this saves in png that what i have found out so far i see i have some learning to do ,i think its going to be the way things are now grouped together now thats going to be my bigthing right now i have looked at this stuff that was posted on this the ones ive really looked at is the setup on affinity ive not tried to make anything yet to show you some of the renders i do this picture was hand drawn with wacom tablet on a Hp laptop with windows 10 ,using serif Photoplus X4 -
