Apologies for my lack of proper terms and understanding of math. But is there a fill mode or method that will let you fill a shape with another shape with the shapes colliding. Basically take a tear drop shape and fill with with as many circles as possible without them colliding or getting clipped by the parent tear drop shape? Like a density fill or packing. I've included a quick illustration to help my explain and visualize my thinking. Hope it makes sense

Upgrade to Version 2 from App Store?

Kind of makes sense, since it is a universal license. -
Upgrade to Version 2 from App Store?
PepGold replied to PepGold's topic in Customer Service, Accounts and Purchasing
Sorry I still don't get it. How do I register the apps bought though the Mac App Store? I can register all the apps. And I assume buy the upgrade from the website? But how does it help my download the version 2 from the App Store? If I want to use the App Store then there is no upgrade offer? -
How to I get the upgrade offer https://affinity.serif.com/en-gb/store/upgrade-offer/ when I bought Photo, Designer and Publisher from the macOS App Store at different times when they were releases and not as a bundle from Serif's website?

Love the posts. I was trying for the fun of it and for learning purposes, as well as trying to break free of the builtin presets. To convert shaders from The Book of Shaders to simple static artwork in Affinity Photo. But I find it difficult to "convert" the small GLSL scripts or programs. Even though I have the documentation open https://affinity.help/photo/English.lproj/index.html?page=pages/Filters/filter_proceduraltexture.html?title=Procedural Texture. Has anyone experimented with something similar and want to share some tips or insights? Thanks.

Hi, I am trying to find a design template that has the Messages speech bubbles. I downloaded the "iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 Design Templates" from https://developer.apple.com/design/resources/#ios-apps. But they don't include the Message speech bubbles. I can see further down the page under "Technologies" that there is a "Messages Design Template" but that is Sketch and XD only. Does anyone if those Messages template can be found somewhere in .psd or another format that Affinity can open?Thanks.

I have an issue with halftone pattern inside shapes that I can't resolve. If I create a basic shape like a circle or square etc. fill it with a black to white gradient, or a solid color and apply a halftone filter to it. It does create a halftone pattern of the gradient that you would expect. Also adds halftones at the edge of the shape. So it doesn't fade out to white. How can I get rid of the border/edge?

I can't seem to rasterize procedural texture. Is the only solution to merge all visible layers?
-
Yes :D It didn't work for me.

Let say I create a vec3 variable var ctr=vec3(R,G,B) Can I then access each item (red, green, blue)individually in the vec3, like ctr.R

WTF. Modifying the system preferences to use . as a decimal separator does seems to fix the issues in Affinity. Now I have to change that setting when I need to use Affinity and remember to restore the default when done
-
Leading Override in Character studio remove decimal separator resulting in 13,6 => 136. Is this a bug? Or do I have a misconfigured preference. I've set "Points" to 3 decimal places in "User interface". 2021-07-11_16.44.57.mov

It doesn't matter if I use . or , as decimal separator. 2021-07-11.mov

The "Typographical variables" works fantastic when setting the font size, but I can't use them when trying to adjust the leading values. It is as if the decimal points aren't honoured. Meaning 12,500 ends up being 12500. Additional question. Is there a way to calculate the distance between xheight and capheight? You can't just go 20mm/x-c, I assume it doesn't work because capheight isn't set or known.

I can't figure out to rotate a guide line? I've tried down all the modifier keys I can think of, and the Transform studio is greyed out? 😕

When I place an .afphoto file into Designer the image have a grayish outline or border around it. This doesn't happen if I convert the image to TIFF. The photo in this example have a mask on it. I don't know if it is a bug or it is intended and this expected behavior. Seems a little strange to me. I don't know why it happens.

When making changes to the input values in the character and paragraph studios, I would be nice they would behave like other input values and update/display the changes live in realtime. As is the case with color panel and guides manager, etc. It is as if when using the arrow keys to change character and paragraph related values, the input field "loose its selection". Where if you do the same thing with other input fields, the active input keeps the selection and therefore changes the value... Sorry for the bad terminology around selection and active input values, I don't know the exact term. Any for clarity I've attached a short video. 17_36.38-1.mov

I don't know if this is a terrible UI idea, but often I myself wanting some kind of indicator if the layers Blend Ranges have been modified. I can easily forget if I modified a layers blend ranges when opening up an old document.

It is weird because it works with other input fields, like color and guides manager etc. It is as if when using the arrow keys to change character related values, the input field "loose selection".

Yea I think it is just a translation issue. affinity forum.afdesign

It sure does. Damn I don't know what it doesn't work for me. 22_18.14-1.mov
-
Yes this would be very useful.
-
I might have not have been very precise when writing the initial post. It works here too, not in a sense that is expected. I can adjust the input values but the doesn't change the selected text. I have to confirm or accept the value, by tabbing away from the input value. I would expect that using the arrow keys or little arrow buttons would adjust the text in real time like when you use the dialog window with the mouse.
-
It would be really helpful if it was possible to adjust font size, leading and tracking etc. using the up arrow and down arrow on the keyboard.

Hi, Using boolean operations like Add on a bunch of shapes results in unexpected behavior. I know I can get around this issue by using "Layer > Geometry > Merge curves". AD-2021-02-22-1.mov
