Do both files have the same dpi settings?

Bugger, just spent 10 minutes working on this then that stupid bird flew off before I could finish it. Totally wasted my coffee break.
 
 

you can create something like this with the appearance panel, but it only works on closed shapes.
it can be edited as vector, but exports as raster.

Other than being a very cheaply brewed beer, Corona should be OK, as long as you avoid the 19 packs... 🤡

Hallo Henk,
 
the export and doc settings.

 
hope this helps.
 
doe maar een sixpack, alle merken behalve corona zijn welkom 😁

Hi All,
Unfortunately, we are hearing many stories from the creative community about how they are being severely impacted by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. We know we can’t solve a lot of these problems, but we do want to try to offer as much support as possible.
That’s why we’re announcing three measures that we've just put in place. They are:
A new 90-day free trial of the Mac and Windows versions of the whole Affinity suite A 50% discount for those who would rather buy and keep the apps on Mac, Windows and iPad A pledge to engage more than 100 freelance creatives for work, spending the equivalent of our annual commissioning budget in the next three months (more details of this will be announced next week). The introduction of the 90-day free trial and deeply discounted pricing is done in the hope that this will make life a little easier for people who rely on creative software to make a living, but may be stuck at home without their usual tools, or for students who might not have access to their Affinity apps on their personal devices. In addition, by increasing our spend on commissioning work from freelancers we can also put some extra money into a part of the industry which will be particularly affected. 
We plan to make the free trial and additional discount available until 20 April, but of course we will continue to review the situation as time goes on.
We have put posts on Facebook and Twitter about what we are doing if it's something you would like to share.
We're now all working from home
In terms of the team here, we have all vacated our Nottingham offices and are now working from home. Naturally this is causing us some disruption, but we continue to type code and expect to carry on making good progress with our development efforts. 
Support is a bit trickier though. Firstly, we can’t accept inbound telephone calls right now, and there are also going to be challenges for our staff to work their normal full-time hours – especially with imminent school closures in the UK. We’re obviously going to do our very best but hope you will understand if we are not as fast to respond to email as usual.
Of course, if a question you have is something which could be answered by our community, then we’d also greatly appreciate if you put that here on the forum rather than contact us directly. It would definitely help us out a lot. 
Frankly it’s hard to know what to say or do in this unprecedented situation. But more than anything else, we want to use this opportunity to wish good health to you and your loved ones at this incredibly difficult time.
All the very best,
Ash

I will continue)

In de openingstekst staat deel twee van zes, zou deel drie moeten zijn.
Kleinigheidje, maar toch 🙂

Dragging the artboards around on screen won't change the order, you should change the order in the layers panel.
Counting from bottom to top.

Oh oh, such bad marketing by Serif. Lets see the real PRO marketing by Adobe, shall we?
Some examples:
Over the years I have seen tons of official videos made to promote new release, in which they were listing literally ALL new features, but person in video was calling them "MY 11 FAVORITE NEW FEATURES". These  happened to be ALL 11 new features. Very pro! No cheap manipulation for "ordinary people" there - simply all new features became his favorites, thats all...
At the end of the video they say something like "These - and many more - new features..." even if there was nothing else in the release. So pro, really impressive marketing. No one will ever notice.
Comments under the video? Turned off. A coincidence for sure.

I checked now their latest big release to see what revolutionary, new features they have added and how they are promoting it.
Still same (VERY PRO!!!) tactics - listing bloody EVERYTHING as a NEW FEATURE so it looks like they added lot of stuff. I especially like these new, revolutionary features in Photoshop:
- "Preference setting to auto-show the home screen" - Mind blowing. this will change how PRO's are working!
- "New Shortcuts" - WOW! I might be going back to Adobe for that revolutionary "feature"
- "Animated GIF support" - for all you TRUE PROs out there who are making... animated GIFs frame by frame in 2020... Not some amateurs - as we all know Photoshop is targeting PRO folks! "What are you working on, mate?" "Animated GIF's for Sony... Serious business". Happens all the time in the industry! (btw - funniest part is that Photoshop had Animated GIF support ages ago, then they get rid of it and now bringing it back as "new feature").
- "Improved New Document dialog performance". - That is the killer! Now you click "New Document" and... New Document dialog shows up. Quote: "almost instantaneously". Respect Adobe.

I dont want to go one by one, but let me list just the last fantastic, new, revolutionary and extremely PRO FEATURE added to the latest Photoshop. Ladies and Gentleman, Adobe gives you:

"What's new screen within the app"

I wonder if they listed "What's new screen within the app" on that screen too... Adobe inception.

Ow, and @Jowday - you said
 
Literally in the latest Illustrator they added "Path simplification. Easy and quick editing of complex paths by reducing the number of anchor points". Which is almost the same thing
BTW, that was one of THREE new features in Illustrator... THREE features in new release. You want to know two others? In that PRO software by industry leading developers? "Auto spell-check" and "Background save and export". Another groundbreaking release by Adobe. How did they listed it? OF COURSE using their (so much better then Serif!) marketing skills as "Top new features". Once again ALL (three...) features made to the top of the list. Bravo!

OK, enough of that PRO stuff, time to make some money with my amateur package. If only I had PRO Photoshop again, I could use some new feature.. like a shortcut or "whats new" screen... Eh...

For something like this I would be tempted to start by using an Ellipse as a Clipping Mask for the Brightness Adjustment.
See my attached video where you can see that the ellipse is adjustable after it has been applied to the Adjustment.
If you want to further adjust the ellipse you can Convert To Curves and use the Node Tool to make changes where necessary.

i guess that this is the only way to do this in designer:

Afaik photo and publisher must be started once to make studiolink work.

Munch, munch. 

Created these two last week as part of a current project I'm working on. It's done fully on Affinity Designer with a mixed workflow of vectors and bitmaps. 

Wurlitzer or Hammond?

Convert a raster image to curves?

they were just paths to the file, the relative link was created on export to pdf.
i didn't save the file.

that was a little mistake, i did not have the hyperlink window open, and thought is said image.
edited a little later, but the damage was done 

I  think there is no need to edit the hyperlink, when "include file on export" is checked in the hyperlink menu. Than in the exported pdf the hyperlinks are relative.

No problem my pleasure, that's what the forum is for here, to help each other if possible.

It can be done… albeit, with a bit of a hack.
Certainly this is not the type of thing that’s helpful if you’re trying to vet the program's abilities.
But for everyone else. 
(needs a beta from 7.0.2 (I think) or up….. i.e. with arrow heads)
edit: the first thing is a duplication of all the lines. (It wasn't so apparent in the vid so just thought I'd mention it. Everything else, I hope, is identifiable in the vid.)
