  1. Thanks for those replies. Much appreciated.

    Despite a few learning hiccups along the way, I continue to be impressed with Designer and Photo (I purchased the latter just recently). Not only do they run on my PC with a minimum of fuss and have great interfaces, they must rank as two of the best value software on the market, especially when you compare the cost of purchasing them outright to the ongoing one of renting their main competition.

     

  2. I was unaware that the new text style pertains to only the document in which it was created. It would make more sense (to me anyway) for that text style to remain in the text style menu so it could be used on other documents as well. I'm applying English text, in the same style, to a non-English comic that has been scanned, so every page is a new document.

    Importing text styles only makes the desired text style available to the document in which it has been imported. I want it available to all documents.

    The only other alternative was to make the text style the default text style, which is what I did. Unfortunately, that wasn't a total success. I can get the text style to appear in the styles menu in new documents, that is, documents created in Affinity Designer, but not existing ones.

     

     

     

     

     

  3. I need to crop a number of scanned images and want the resulting crop of each to be the same dimensions so that when I resize the images, they're all uniform. Trying to adjust the crop according to the vector crop tool's size indicator is too fiddly and time consuming. Is there a way to resize the crop in a similar fashion to resizing the image itself by entering the width and height in the transform window, or is there another, better way to get the result I'm after?

    Thanks for your help.

    The easiest way to get rid of superfluous edge pixels from Designer is via export to png:

    • Select the area or layers you want
    • export to png, set Area to selection only or selected area
    • Open png to continue editing.

    Unfortunately Design lacks some features of Photo, like crop (on Document/canvas), and merge visible. There are workarounds like above to achieve the same results via intermediate steps.

    That did the trick!

    Exporting the image as a png, which is the format I wanted for the finished product anyway, and then opening and cropping the image may not be the most elegant solution, but it works and saves me having to use another program.

    Thank you so much.

    And thanks to all those who replied.

     

  5. Hi everybody

    I scanned an image that I want to add text to, but first need to rotate it as it's slightly crooked. The trouble is after I do this I'm left with transparent (checked) space around the image that refuses to go away. I realize I must be making some sort of cardinal error in the process but being a new user of Affinity Designer aren't sure where I'm slipping up.

    Here is what I've been doing:

    Open image > create artboard > select move tool > deselect lock children > rotate image > select background layer > use vector crop tool to get rid of unwanted space around image > cut image > apply "New from Clipboard".

    It doesn't matter whether I crop a little or a lot off the image, the transparent space persists around its edges. How do I stop this from happening?

    Many thanks!
