Sunset replied to giantlobsterprd's topic in Share your work
Excellent, and a lovely gently aged, soft feel to it, enhanced by the disappearing feet :)- 15 replies

Using Designer to imagine sitting on a headland on a balmy summer's evening, with the warm air carrying the scents and seeds of summer high into the sky :) I made the seeds the easy way with the transform tool by selecting the centre bas point for rotation and a 15 degree angle (actually, that's how I fixed the later version, I had the rotation point slightly off centre for this version which gave a more casual feel) Changed the attachment to a very low res/smaller size

My kind of page, experimenting and coming up with some excellent effects :)

You have no idea how many times I had to squint at your version until I could see the difference! Very good, Alfred :D

Haven't posted here for a long while, but enjoyed doing some nesting this morning with a picture I took a while back of Paris Mountain in Anglesey. I used Designer for the page including fading out the background photo. Quick and easy.

Can't access all shapes
Sunset replied to Sunset's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
They were the three that I mentioned in my first post, yes. -
Can't access all shapes
Sunset replied to Sunset's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
That is a good description of the problem, yes. I did move the AD Window but the menu still overlapped the dock - that was the part I couldn't resolve. And whilst I'm much happier with the Mac now than when I first bought it, I couldn't fix it so that the menu was in the main area of the screen only. -
Can't access all shapes
Sunset replied to Sunset's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Thanks for the info, but I will happily wait for the Designer update, I was only going to play with the cat - now I'm playing with the accounts instead :) Info noted, though :) -

That's great, thanks :) In the meantime I have saved my Windows Cat in a document :D :D :D -
Can't access all shapes
Sunset replied to Sunset's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
1.5.4 I haven't customized the tools on the Mac - and that will have to wait until a bit later, anyway, it was the old story of - I thought I'd just play with AD on the Mac whilst I had a cuppa... :) -
Can't access all shapes
Sunset replied to Sunset's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
It works just fine on my Windows version, just not on the Mac -
Given that it is cat day, today.... On my MacBook Pro, I've been trying to access the cat shape at the bottom of the shapes flyout. I can access the shapes as far as the call out, but I can't get the tear, heart or cat to work. It makes no difference whether I"m in my default screen view or if I go to full screen. I've tried jiggling all sorts of things but to no avail. I'll check my windows version asap.

That's very kind of you to look! However, the Workbook would change pages all by itself too often, so I might have to settle for the one I have - the pegs come forwards, not sideways, to accommodate those v-e-r-y chunky coffee table books! https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fellowes-Booklift-Copy-Holder-Silver/dp/B00006IC4E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1481476357&sr=8-1&keywords=book+stand+fellowes

If we all get together we could put in an order and save on delivery costs! I need a nice book rest so I can put the book on the arm of the sofa whilst using the Mac on the Ikea laptop table (delivered same day as the book!), I have a book rest but it's old plastic and my Workbook really wants something more 'authentic' :)

I really like this, scene and colours, lovely :) :) :)

Thank you, it's a good tutorial to follow :)

I have been following the workbook tutorial for The Whittler - not completed, there are other demands on my time - but I've enjoyed going through the processes, especially using the vector and raster brushes to create texture on the tree. I completed the robot with simple linear gradients for now, the rest can follow another day. This is my interim take on The Whittler and, whilst it is capable of greater finesse in the future, I am happy with it at this stage.

Rule of thirds grid overlay
Sunset replied to jackanderson's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Is there going to be a rule of thirds guide for designer? I've just been following one of the tutorials in the workbook and it looks like the number of pixels has to be calculated to divide the (required for the project) rectangle into a 3x3 grid. An 'elastic' rule of thirds grid would have been so much quicker. -
Asset Management on Mac
Sunset replied to tim.jones's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
I rename the new asset collection and then export it to a folder I created on my hard disk drive, I've done this for a few collections now - serves two purposes, a backup and I can move it to a different computer. A very useful facility. -
Can“t run a Affinity Designer beta anymore
Sunset replied to PixelPest's topic in [ARCHIVE] Designer beta on macOS threads
I had the same message yesterday - so I just went back to my retail copy which was no problem as I was not doing anything important. Checked my beta version and it's 1.5.2, I thought I had installed the next version but apparently not :) I might try that tonight if I have time. -
1.5.2.Beta 4 Regressions?
Sunset replied to Sunset's topic in [ARCHIVE] Designer beta on macOS threads
I wish I had my previous beta to compare with, it never happened then and I'm sure I was doing everything the same. I can see the Asset Management in the windows version but assumed that it is not fully operational yet as all the assets disappeared behind the panel, regardless of where I placed them on the panel :) -

Affinity Photo Cut Out Text
Sunset replied to Sunset's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Thanks Alfred, I did try that - it works with shapes in Designer - but I just couldn't get the pesky layers to do what I wanted at all. I shall try again.
