Hi MEB, okay, thanks, layer with mask should finally work like the workaround I do now. That is -- as you say --- making a duplicate of the original layer, creating a refined selection, and then create a mask from the section and assigning the mask to the layer duplicate. (Btw, using layer with mask comes from working with PSH where you get the desired result. But I am now mostly on Affinity and like it very much.)

Just fiddling around a bit. The result depends on the amount of Smooth. But anyway, the result isn't what it should be in my opinion. See three screenshots: 1 Original 2 New layer with mask 3 same layer as 2 with mask off

It is maybe the problem that I saw in early versions of AP as well in the newest. When making a selection refine and choose layer w/ mask it cuts out the slection with a really ugly pixeled outline which is masked. But if you want to alter the mask you have a big problem adding something again. See screenshot where the mask is off. Carsten

haha! Thats obviously why nothing is equal to something but in this case plus transparency ...

Hi there, did anyone here try the WebP PlugIn for Photoshop (until CS5/6)? http://telegraphics.com.au/sw/product/WebPFormat In my Affinity Photo Desktop (1.6.7) it is not recognized :-(

Sounds great! Can’t wait to test it :-)

Great, Mark! Thanks! I will test it if its possible to install the beta seperate to the stable version.

I thought that was a known issue since ages. Had some crashes last year and some days ago again (always fatal errors, had to restart whole system) on macmini and OSX 10.9.5. This occured by moving one of two artboards by an unwanted mousemove on it. Wondering if there is a bug fix in near future. Hope so. Love to work with artboards, but this way it is a bit horrible like in good old Mac OS 7 times.

What is the status of this feature? Would be very nice to have.

I think this is not only a matter of wrong display. Much more relevant is, that pdf-x1a, -x3, -x4 export rasterizes vector elements. This is different from »pdf for print« export (e.g. PDF 1.4) where vector elements remain vector. Is that a known issue, too?

I think you should vectorize the text so that it will scale like the other vector elements and you are no longer in need to have the font active. Before doing this, make a copy with editable text for changes. BTW Logos often look very simple but creating one that is good across several media, different sizes and contexts belongs to the highest level art of design. All the best Carsten

Figured it out: When marking 1x-2x-3x BEFORE painting the resolution is ok and no warning appears.

Just move the point with the node tool until the second is marked. Did you mean that?

Hello, in the export persona there is the possibility of 1x, 2x, 3x export for different resolutions. This works well with imported high resolution images that fit to the highest needed resolution. But when I add a layer and paint something i.e. with a soft brush, this layer causes a low resolution warning. This is really strange. Is there a way to define that the layer can be painted in 3x resolution? Or is there a workaround? Thanks for any idea, elk

I have the same issue. To me it seems that it is different if you imort the image, drag and drop it or open it and copy/paste the image content. Have to figure this out. BTW, as an experienced PSH user AF has some strange aspects although most is really awesome.

There are some interesting news about the ability of running Freehand under Mavericks at the FreehandForum: http://freehandforum.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2067 http://www.freehandforum.org/news.html (I hope it is ok to post this here - please delete if its not) Btw. I worked a lot with FH since version 3 and also with AI and always loved the way freehand worked. I will have a look if I can find some interesting files that I can submit.

Silhouette was an outstanding tool for that. It was last available as AI plugin. Maybe the developers of that great thing can get involved ...

npaust, this is a feature for a pixel-based app. While Affinity is vector-based. I did not think about your idea but think this could be perfectly realized with photoshop or another imageeditor. And automated by a small script or action.
