I too would like to see this feature; it's very useful, as is sizing to key objects. Absolutely loving this beta. -
Lovely tutorial Jack ... thanks :)

Hi everyone, I'm Martigny and I write and illustrate non-fiction philosophical/self-help books (under a different name :P). I'm self-published. I've been using Serif products for many years now; Webplus to create my website, Drawplus to create my illustrations/book covers and Pageplus to design the interior layouts for my books and make ready for uploading to my printer. Hopefully Affinity will come out with a DP soon and I will replace Pageplus with that; however, Pageplus does the job nicely. Loving Affinity Designer so far but not had too much of a chance to get to know it well enough ... but I will.

The brushes are lovely ... I've tried most of them already. Great work.

Tried twice to buy these on Paypal but nothing happened after login. After clicking continue the popup closed and returned to your website.

Don't worry Ronnie ... I'm 57 and loving the UI just as it is :) -
A feature I would love to see is the symmetric node (as in Inkskape). As a designer and illustrator this would be especially useful to me.

Hi Chris. I think it does a pretty good job and plain text was ok. The book cover text had been manipulated quite a bit so I'm not surprised. I love this program ... brilliant!

Thanks Voom ... it's helped with some of it. Strange thing happened with the book title text though ... it's all over the place but easy for me to replace. Thanks again.

Thanks for the reply. Somehow I am unable to repeat the effects I was getting yesterday and this 'inner shadow' feature is working much better. Perhaps Affinity have tweaked something. Still not as good as Drawplus because the effect had a useful 'blur' feature. Love the program and accept that it's a beta. Oh and one other thing. I imported a .psd file (a book cover). Images were okay but all the text was converted to pixel layers making it uneditable. Is this something that will change at all? Thanks again

Hi Affinity First impression; what a lovely, lovely new program. I'm looking forward to using it much more. I am a long term user of Drawplus and have illustrated 4 books with it. The feature I use on all my illustrations is the ‘inner shadow’ on filter effects so I was delighted to find this feature on Affinity. However, I find the inner shadow effect on Drawplus far superior to that on Affinity. When adding a shadow to a shape in Affinity it’s too harsh and very limited in terms of how far into the shape I can take it. At some levels it also interfers with the outline of the shape and makes it look more like a 3d object. Unfortunately I'm unable to upload an image example here as it won't allow it. One other problem I'm unable to solve yet (I may have missed something) is there doens't seem to be a way to size two different objects horizontally and vertically, as in Drawplus. Sure I can do it with the snap feature but this takes a bit longer. Help on these two issues would be amazing. Martigny
