This bites Affinity Designer 1.6.1 too but you'd probably extrapolated that. Hope this helps. Mark

When the attached SVG file - it's a union flag, source here: http://hjnilsson.github.io/country-flags/ - is opened or placed in Affinity 1.6.7 or the beta 1.7.0.112 , three of the red diagonal elements are invisible. The W3C validator https://validator.w3.org/check is happy with the SVG and it displays elsewhere correctly so this may be Affinity Photo (or it may be me). Mark gb.svg

Thanks everyone. Indeed, 1.6.7 - and I've just tried the beta 1.7.0.110 and in that, rotating the placed image, exporting the file etc works fine so this bug is gone. Mark

For some reason when this is exported the result doesn't match the graphic as displayed in Affinity - something's gone wrong with the rotated flag image. There were a number of other steps to produce the graphic before it broke and I've removed things like a fill layer behind, another image layer, and a mask and blur live filter layer over the 'Flag'... (Apologies in advance if it's something daft I've done with it...) Mark twitter banner flag fault reduced.afphoto

Thanks all. Launching with 'Ctrl', and then the first three ticked has resolved this. Mark

So... on a mac... press the tab key and the right hand side panel no longer disappears. Various other UI does disappear but then when the tab key is pressed again, doesn't come back. There's a way to reset this, yes?

Ah! thanks for this. The four channels above it, with control-clicks, behave in a different way and had led me astray. I was then control-clicking on the adjustment alpha channel's icon and that's inert. I needed to click to the right of the icon. Mark

Create an adjustment or live filter layer, and it has an alpha channel - used to selectively modify the adjustment. Looking in the channels panel, the alpha channel is listed and has a thumbnail rendering of itself. Is there a way to promote that alpha channel to a mask that can then be duplicated and applied to other layers? Thanks Mark

A perlin noise filter that is able to randomise what it generates each time - is that something for the future? Thanks for the update though. Mark

Hi, Affinity people - where are we with this suggestion, please? Mark

Thanks. Mark

When making further adjustments to a live filter layer using 'Blend ranges', is it possible to toggle on and off the contribution to the filter from changes made using the 'Blend ranges' dialogue?

Got it, thanks for this, really appreciate your time on it. Mark

Apple one button mouse on an ancient machine, so Control and click for this. Mark

Hi again. Sorry, that's might not be it - the layers panel has the adjustment layer selected, but when control clicking on the channels, for the alpha channel in question I do not get a context menu. I've attached a screenshot to help confirm whether or not I'm in the correct part of AP's interface. I'll try with a different machine this evening in case that makes a difference. Mark
