  1. Hello @ecureuil, I am not aware that it is possible to change the default behaviour. You might want to place a feature request in this section of the forum. d.
  2. Du kannst Slices auch ohne Rechtecke erstellen. Slices sind eigenständige Exportbereiche. Es gibt hier kein richtig oder falsch, sondern einfach zwei unterschiedliche Arten des Exports. Der Weg über Datei > Export ist bei einem einmaligen Export schnell. Wenn Du komplexe Exportoptionen brauchst, ist die Export-Persona sehr funktionsreich. d.
  3. Hallo @PaulHH, ich bin mir nicht ganz sicher, was Du mit "mehr als nur einen Ausschnitt" meinst. Wenn es darum geht, dass Du nur einen Teilbereich eines Bildes exportieren möchtest, dann kann das so funktionieren: Erzeuge mit dem Rechteck-Werkzeug ein Rechteck, das den Ausschnitt des Bildes umschliesst, den Du exportieren möchtest. Am besten gibst Du dem Rechteck keine Füllung und keinen Rand. Es ist damit zwar unsichtbar, aber wenn Du es auswählst, sieht Du trotzdem die blauen Umrisslinien. Diese Rechteck ausgewählt gehst Du auf "Datei > Exportieren ...". Im folgenden Dialog wählst Du unter "Bereich" den Punkt "Bereich der Auswahl" aus. Anschliessend auf "Exportieren" klicken. Mit dieser Methode exportierst Du über alle Ebenen hinweg nur einen Ausschnitt des Bildes. Das ist ähnlich wie die "Slices" in der Export-Persona, aber in manchen Fällen geht das schneller. d.
  4. I do have to admit same with me. I never noticed that it is possible to add a gradient to a text frame this way. Maybe because I mostly use unstyled textframes 🙂 d.
  5. No, this is not working. You can nest a vector layer to a pattern layer but this does not make the vector being repeated. I sincerely hope they come up with true vector pattern layers at some time. OTOH patterns with symbols do work quite well for now. d.
  6. I think the order of the layers is wrong. You have to make sure to place the circle above the polygon. Then intersect should give you the proper result. d.
  7. A not so well known command is to use CMD+D to deselect the text tool when in editing mode. Then hit the shortcut key for the tool you want to use next. But basically CMD+D (I think it's Option+D on Mac) behaves the same as ESC. d.
  8. Hello @Sheldon Lyttle, welcome to the forums. In Affinity Designer there are Styles but they do not work like text styles. You can't modify them after they were created. The best thing you could use is Symbols in Affinity Desiger (or Affinity Publisher's 'Designer Persona'). Symbols allow you to create a complex object and to synchronize its appearance across many copies of it. A good tutorial on how they work can be found here: d.
  9. Even though my suggestion is just a workaround it is possible to copy any adjustment layer from one file to another. Thus one could keep a special file just for collecting and storing adjustment layers with their settings. Naming the layers would be the equivalent to preset names. I think adjustment layers also can be stored in the asset panel which is perhaps even more effective (I'm not at my Affinity computer right now so I can't confirm this). d.
  10. A very handy and clever solution to reach a checkbox that sometimes is hidden on the far right end of the toolbar. Even without touching this checkbox. Thanks! d.
  11. This is another important hint on how to 'correct' an image convincingly. There should be two slightly different zones of shadow. One that is a little darker due to the shadow cast by the sunlight and a lighter one coming from the cloud. I think @v_kyr's approach is a good start and some of the adjustments could be masked out with a paint brush. d.
  12. I want to add that it might be usefull to leave a little of the shadow in to make the image look more convincing. Human eyes can easily and intuitivly tell that something is wrong - even if they can't explicitly say what it is. The mountains in the right half of the pictures do have shadows and do not fit well with the manipulated mountain. d.
  13. Perhaps you want to take into account that there was a holiday break and the developers deserved some time out as well? d.
  14. These are heavily processed images. One of the effects looks like motion blur. But I assume there are more things involved to the blur(s). Like partially masked Gaussian blur and perhaps things like chromatic aberration filter used in a 'creative' way. I also assume there are vignets or layers to emphasize contrast in certain areas. There is saturation and vibrance (or the like) applied. And at some point he may be using sharpness to achieve a certain crisp look. These are just guesses to give you a couple of keywords with what to play around and see how far you come. d.
