This means you have an Image Layer. Rasterize that layer. Or Duplicate it hide the original and rasterize the duplicate. This rasterizing will give you a Pixel layer. Image layers are useful for many other things but not cutting selections out.

I will use the Lasso tool because I can go outside of the canvas / picture area. You can use the Marqee tool to drag from outside the area as well. I select an area (the smug fellow on the right) and cut it (Command + X). Then I deselect the area, clear the selection is another way to say it (here on Mac it is keyboard shortcut Command + D). Then I paste the cut area (Command + V) Screen Recording 2023-08-13 at 11.00.23 AM.mov

When I first open your file and select the Sjerrie layer I see a Stroke of 100 points and Clear Colour. If I select a colour and a one point width then I see a more normal result. Did you convert the file to curves or only the Text Layer? Converting everything at one go may be the cause of this. I added some text and put a stroke on it and converted the layer to curves and the stroke was still there.

Make a document of the appropriate size, Place the image and rasterize it so it is a Pixel layer not an Image layer. I would then slice the pixel layer, so I have one face selected, using the lasso tool or the Marquee tool. Cut and paste the selection, I now have two pixel layers. Use the Move tool to move either Pixel layer left or right.

Try Window > Studio > Reset Studio

The scripting features haven't yet been built for betas. So, no.

Did you actually need to bake the appearance? If I use the corner tool and then Expand Stroke all is well.

The lack of this puzzles me. One of the first things I look for in each beta.

My experience with the snapping is good, until I have too many candidates set. I made a preset called All Off and choose that then turn on only what I want / need. Also sometimes I find using the Node tool can help by utilizing its candidates.

No you do not need any data in the data field. Yes it can be done. Not easily, see the excellent video from anto.

Why double click? Here on Mac OS I just click on it to open the edit window. Is this double click necessary on Windows? Regardless, a double click shouldn't merge the Adjustment Layer. Do you have any third party utilities running? Does the mouse you use require special drivers?

I would start with the Perlin noise set to something like this Then maybe add a levels Adjustment layer to bring up the contrast. I might also use a Blur Filter before or after (or both) after the Adjustment.

Just a bump to say that now this does not work for me. I upgraded my Mac OS to 12.6.8 and now I have the same problem as @tatanka. This occurs in the retail version 2.1.1 and the beta 2.2.0 (1931) It is the exact same setup as tatanka's screenshot.

In my opinion, never. But that is just for the type of work I do. I suspect there are methods that would benefit from having it on, I just haven't seen the need for it.

No. One thing I will do on occasion is use the Perlin Noise filter on a pixel layer and choose a darken blend mode.

With a bit of work you can set up various sizes and locations if you use the Export Persona. Locations is going to take more time than various sizes. You can have three file types (JPEG, PNG, TIFF for example) and various sizes for each type. Then it is a simple click on the Export slices button and you're done.

Area = H x W. Square root of .5 is 0.707106781186548 1 square metre is 1 x 1 or .5 x 2 1/4 square metre is .5 x .5 or .25 x 1 1/2 square meter is 0.707106781186548 x 0.707106781186548 or 0.353553390593274 x 1.414213562373096

If you want the area to be 50% then typing in 50% in the W and H fields give you 25% of the area.

When you choose Selection you have to choose a Slice (Tranche) to see, change and apply the export choices. When you choose Defaults (Parametres par default) you are simply setting up what you want the Default export Preset to be. This may not affect the Slice's export format. If you want a TIFF then Choose the Slice in the Slice window and Choose from the Presets and further alter the properties to your taste. If you always want TIFFs to be the default then set up a Preset for the TIFF format the way you want it and make your own preset, name it My TIFF preset then choose that in the Defaults tab. Going forward you'll have that as the default. First Select Selection instead of Parametres par default

I would be tempted to just add the text and apply the appropriate Paragraph styles then go and place the images (in Picture Frames) with Text Wrap applied to the Picture Frames. This would continuously push the text past the end but a Shift Click on the overflow icon would add more pages. I took the liberty to make a very very basic file you can use to learn. There is a heading style with a Right Tab for setting the line the way you seem to have it set in your PDF. There are no Picture Frames, you can add those as you go. I copied and pasted your Masthead from the PDF, you may want to rebuild that with the tools for Shapes and Art Text. Template for DeFever.afpub

We can see the "actual" values if we use the Character and Paragraph panels and select the desired Text Style. Having said that I too would like some sort of indication of the values but I do also realize that for some things like Decorations or Drop Caps this could be perhaps confusing in implementation. Text colours could also be massively weird looking.

Just a bit of math required. The width and height multiplied by the Square Root of the increase or decrease.

In Blender you have to first covert the object to a Grease Pencil object before you can Export to SVG.

I did an export from Blender 3.6.1 to SVG (converted the Cube to a Grease Pencil thing). The exported from Blender to SVG opens fine here on Designer 2.1.0 and 1.10.6. grease pencil blender.svg I also opened the original file you posted using Inkscape and exported it as a plain, not Inkscape SVG, but a plain SVG. It too opens fine here on Designer. 0001 plain.svg I don't know why the original doesn't open at all here with Designer.

I am a bit confused. Here on my Mac i get an A with a gradient/transparency yet there is no gradient/transparency applied. I cannot get the A to be a solid colour. Yes I am removing the blend I wonder how the A was created. If I type an A it is solid white from top to bottom not fading from Clear to White top to bottom.
