Okay I FIGURED out how to get a selection but I'm still seeing very odd behaviors: curved.mp4

But my Convert button is greyed out! the entire layer is selected!

I'm on a similar platform I created a video showing how I am trying but I must be doing something wrong.. smooth.mp4

Thank you. The problem I had is that when I selected all, the convert to smooth, I then selected a section and I pressed smooth just once and it created a problem smoothing areas I had not selected and the results were awful I couldn't get the minor selections like you did which were what I wanted.

I had a jpg outline of a tree I vectorized with another program. Although I chose less points, this one has a million points and on full size, what should be smooth curves are jagged lines. 2 questions: There was in illustrator, I believe, an easy way to smooth and simplify lines, but I can't find a parallel in Designer. Is there an easier way than hand selecting a million nodes to delete them? Secondly, is there a better vectorizing option in Designer I should have used? vector simplify.afdesign

I am trying to use the rectangular selection tool to copy and paste a portion of a graphic image, but when I select cut or copy, it copies the ENTIRE image, not the selection !!!! PAIN IN THE #O*#&

Seems to be a problem with finder permissions and perhaps a third party software in the backend...

It is not saving the edits when I create them. this is just a screen shot. All I'm getting is a spinning wheel of death

I just upgraded to 2.0.4 Designer and it is not giving me the option to save as or save. It just scrolls and then no window pops up to say where to save it. TheStarrAgency-newlogo-2.svg

got a preferred link?

Wow.... Lot of features and looks like a steep learning curve?

DOH! 🙂 I did not know arm64 was the M1 I thought it meant 64 bit vs. 32 bit. I've been on Macs since 1986, pre OSX, and pre 64 bit architecture. Thanks!

Yes I tried 1.2.1 which is the latest they had on their site, unless that is M1 Only.... they aren't very clear about which one would be intel

Don't know why. Mac 2019 with the current Monterey with the latest security update.

I downloaded the latest version and is shows with a No ENTRY symbol. Not supported on this version is the error message. I found a free Vectornator in the APP store. Will try it.

Thanks.. Just found out it doesn't work on a Mac in the current OS. 😞

Thanks Where would you do an auto trace for color? Can you do that in Affinity?

Is there a better way to vectorize a photo~!??

Okay, so I am running into a bit of a problem. I used a vectorizer program to create the image from a picture. You would think the natural fill are for the line filled with yellow would be the rest of the leg. In AI you would pour fill into that area, but I don't see the same function exactly. The fill with the line is filling outside the enclosed area. This is where AI would see the closed areas and fill it. Any ideas how best to proceed? This is taking way longer than I had hoped.

Illustrator had a feature where you could allow unclosed vector lines whose gaps where minor to close for a color fill. Is there a feature like that for Affinity Design or Photo?

Thanks. Without knowing it, I had selected the Warp tool. Maybe by a keystroke. I never use the warp tool, as usually I am correcting trapezoidal distortions in photos.

Without knowing how or why, the Perspective Warp window has disappeared and I can't save the modifications by hitting return. I can modify the picture by dragging the corners, but can't apply them. I quit the program and restarted but still it is not reappearing. Any ideas? I don't see anything in the menu to bring it forward.

I found the macro in the library and I see the skies in the downloads folder, but am not sure how to apply them. There seems to be no dialog box to choose them.

So, I have Uplift add-on in Photo which were downloaded manually and i am trying to find them in the interface but cannot. There are other items listed in the assets panel, but even if I try to reimport them from the download they are greyed out like they have already been installed. I'm in Affinity Photo 1.10

Yes, I thought it was the photo thread thanks
