Hello Another solution, something quick to do : 1- Use "find and replace" to replace the character Break Paragraph with the character Break Text Zone (screenshot1). 2- After, you will have to create chained text boxes to display all paragraphs (screenshot2). The disadvantage of this method is that you have to let the text zone chained. But not necessarily a problem. Sorry for my poor English, hope I'm clear.

Help with the Move Tool and Rectangle Tool
steday replied to boelens218's topic in Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Hello 1/ Click the eye icon in the Move options bar to hide the highlight when moving (see screenshot 1). 2/ The reason is the size of the stroke doesn't meet the pixel grid of your document. There is some tools in Photoshop to force objet to align on the pixel grid (a lot of discussion about that on the forum), but for a rectangle drawing, the simplest is to go to the cog icon for the rectangle layer and use the option with no antialiasing (see screenshot 2). 3/ You could use the shift key with your mouse (as in Photoshop) to constraint a vertical / Horizontal / 45° move. Hope it will help you -

Hello You can remove a mask from an adjustment layer : Click on the built-in mask Fill it with white (Edition > Fill) - so the mask as no effect Now it is erratic : sometime AP delete the mask immediately, sometimes you have to make an operation on the layer panel to refresh the panel and see that the mask has been deleted At least that's how it work on AP 2.6.2 MAC

Hello I can make it work OK if I follow these steps : Select the curve on the layer panel Force the fill to be None on the color panel Select the Pen tool on the tool panel Click the Sélection button > OK I try to redraw the selection with the pen tool, transform it to selection and it work OK, whatever the fill is Plain with a color or None. I suspect a corrupted Curve in your document. Hope that can help you.

Hello, you can do it with the TSL adjustment (Photoshop has the same on his TSL adjustment). See the screenshot : here if you want to replace red (or near red) choose the nearest color in the row (sélecteur de couleur) and adjust the white dots to target the color to replace. The external dots adjust Fuzziness. Then you can change the color with the TSL slider. See Affinity Help if I'm not clear enough.

Text styles based on this style

Hello Show hierarchy in the text styles panel show with style(s) is (are) based on which one. Here "Encart texte" is based on "Encart", which is based on "Corps", which his based on "Base principale". -
Hello If I understand clearly your question : If you want to create a symbol made of several shapes, you have to group them before creating a symbol, because if you don't do that, every shape will be a symbol. Alt + dragging, copy-pasting, power-duplicating a symbol create a symbol. You won't see them individually in the symbol panel because these new symbol are instances of the first symbol you create, and every instance are synchronized bu default (if you modify one, all the synchronized instances will be modified - you can de-synchronized some instances if you want to edit them with different color, shape. Transformed instances with scale, rotation, keep synchronisation ). You can see in the layer panel that a group is a symbol if it has an orange bar. See attached. See Affinity doc on symbol for more infos. All of this work correctly on Affinity Designer 2.6 Mac.

Hello This question has been asked many times in the forum. There is no special tool to do that. So, no good surprise !! The only way is to cut-paste the text before (or after) the break in another set of linked frames. Many people are facing this problem and would like a faster and better solution. It's the same problem in InDesign.

Designer Pen tool Selection and Mask
steday replied to Passionworks's topic in Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Hello Here what you can do in Designer to have a sélection from a vector shape: On Designer, use the pen tool to draw a closed shape in the Designer Persona. Go to the Pixel Persona. First (important, it doesn't work if you don't do this)) select the shape in the layer panel by clicking on it. CMD + Click (MAC) on the thumbnail of the shape in the layer panel. (On PC it should be CTRL + Click, not sure) You will have a selection in the form of the shape + you don't loose the shape. Hope that it can help. -
Unwanted gradient on text path
steday replied to Well.Spokin's topic in Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Hello I try to follow the different steps and see no unwanted gradient fill. The only thing is that the vignette of the corresponding layer in the layers panel show a gradient like on your screenshot. Affinity Designer 2.5.7, Sonoma 14.6.1 -
Couple of questions on using Designer and Photo
steday replied to kanihoncho's topic in Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Hello 1 - Paint the shadow with a soft brush, on a separate layer, it will be more realistic. 2 - I suggest using Liquify Persona for subtle text distorsion directly on the bag (you don't have to create the text as a separate element). Liquify is often forget for this kind of things. Here a quick done exemple. Hope it help. Bag.afphoto
