On a totally different note, I see that the sending of messages in the forum doesn't have a spell checker. Perhaps that's something else I have to discover.

Is the layer locked on the layers panel?

Thanks for sharing. If a screenshot of the palette was included, more people would potentially download it.

@owenr & @JimmyJack Thanks very much. I wasn't aware of the Alpha choice. That works a treat to adjust the intensity of the mask layer.

You can turn down the effect by reducing the masks opacity, or even changing the layers blend modes. This is quick doodle using textures and masks.
I was attempting to accomplish this by doing it the way @gdenby did it above, which is very similar to the way it would work in Photoshop. I have attached an afdesign file showing a simple t-shirt mockup I made to illustrate the technique. The purpose of the texture is to reveal the shirt color underneath the graphic to simulate the shirt being washed and worn. In PS, a levels can be applied to the mask layer to reduce the effect of the texture. I didn't see a way to do reduce the effect of the texture in SpoonGraphics' method or gdenbys' method.
If I reduce the opacity of the mask layer, it just makes the graphic more transparent. Changing the blend mode of the mask does nothing as far as I can tell. I realize my method is very different than what you showed me, but I think my way is what I would do to distress a graphic on a t-shirt. I am just curious if I can affect how much the mask reveals of the shirt beneath. Thank you @firstdefence for your help.

On the download page for these washed and worn textures, near the bottom of the post, he talks about how to use the textures in Photoshop. He also talks about using levels on the layer mask to decrease the effect of the texture. I can make the layer mask with texture in AD or AP, but I can't apply levels to the mask. Is there any way to apply levels to an existing mask or is there some other workaround?

You might want to try feathering the edge by applying a gaussian blur. Click on the fx icon at the bottom of the layers panel and tick the gaussian blur option. Adjust the slider to get the amount of feather (blur) you want. The slider only goes to 100 pixels, but you can get a higher value by typing a number in the box at the end of the slider.

Try this video tutorial and see if it clears it up for you.

changing the line height and baseline of text with "alt" and scroll wheel in 0.1 steps does not work. Is this a normal behaviour or a bug?
1Are you using Mac or PC and which product? Using AD on windows, rolling the scroll wheel while hovering over the width or height in the transform panel increases/decreases in increments of 1. Holding down the control key while rolling the mouse wheel changes it in increments of .1. Holding down shift while rolling the mouse wheel changes it in increments of 10.

Just curious, how do folks here currently manage their project notes, ideas, client interactions, project histories etc?
At the moment I am thinking of downloading an app like Things from the Mac App store as a way of managing my projects? Anyone have any suggestions for other Apps or approaches to design task management?
1I use Trello . It is a very powerful management tool. It has a free and a paid version, but the free version works well for most cases.

Thanks for the links to the class. I got signed up for the free one. It looks like it will be a fun class.

- Changed Layers panel to add more distinction between clipped and nested layers
I thought clipping and nesting were the same thing. Could you please educate me on the differences between the two?

You're welcome. Thanks for the feedback.

The option for a HSL Color Wheel is already available. You can't see it currently because you have "Sliders" selected as your color selector. If you click on the the little hamburger menu icon in the upper right corner of the color panel, you will have the option to choose HSL Color Wheel.

In both Designer and Photo you can temporarily hide the bounding box by holding down the spacebar. Hope this helps.

They probably will not work. AI brush files are different than regular AI files. There are a lot of free AI brushes available on the web. I have tried some of them in the past and they wouldn't open in Affinity Designer. Why don't you download some of the free ones and give them a try and find out for yourself?

I agree. In the official videos on fonts, the font drop down always shows much longer than it does on my screen. Therefore, I don't know if this is a bug or a feature request.

I just downloaded these and tried them out. They are awesome texture brushes. Thank you so much!

How do I "crop" the "canvass"?
in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)

An alternate way to achieve this:
1. Select the objects you want cropped to
2. Copy the objects (ctrl c)
3. File > New From Clipboard
Now you have a document cropped to the size of your objects.
