I have an issue with align. Not sure if it is a known issue or not. If i take two curves, overlap them and group. Then select the group and another object and align horz center... the objects move and disappear to the left. This happens on any align function with different results. I've attached before and after screenshots and the source file. Top "cross" object is the grouped curves. align_issue.afdesign

One more bit info. If I convert to curves and set layer options to "Normal" and not "Passthrough", it works as Oval stated. But then if I ungroup the curves, each individual curve now displays the same problem as the original text... even if the options is set to "Normal" Update: found the issue. For fonts, the "Blend Gamma" is set to 1.45, but everything else is set to 2.2. Setting the font manually to 2.2 corrects this issue even after converting to curves and ungrouping. Is the 1.45 Blend Gamma on the fonts expected behavior out of the box? Last Update: It is expected: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/7938-affinity-designer-customer-beta-12024498/ I'm a Fireworks CS6 user, not Photoshop CC and was not aware that this was a thing. Sorry for all the noise :)

Thanks Oval, that does work once i convert text to curves and will help short term. I'm wondering if a text object is considered a "group" and default to passthrough even though it says "normal". I'd love to see the font issue corrected or a way to workaround it without losing the ability to edit text. I've attached my test file, can anyone else confirm this is an issue? affinity_1.4.2_beta_4_text_opacity.afdesign

Hi, thanks for the welcome. no i'm using RGB (see attached)

Not sure if this is a known bug or, if it is in some strange way, expected behavior. Here's an easy way to replicate issue: Create new document. Add a vector of any shape Add a text of any choosing (preferably large font) Move them close, but don't overlap Make both black Compare Now, make another vector of any shape, make it white and large enough to overlap or cover both black items Move white shape to very bottom, with two black shapes on top Select both black shapes, change the opacity to 54% (any % will do, 54% is just what i was working with) Compare You will notice, the text is now lighter than the vector where the white box sits underneath, yet both are 54% black. Converting text to curves does not fix it. I've also attached an example. John Affinity Designer 1.4.2 Beta 4, Mac
