When combining several curves the program freezes on me every time. I have many curves and a rectangle selected, then i select combine, the progress bar shows blue to the end but it never finishes and whole program freezes. I am using the attached file an an example. Please correct when you can. Thank you for all of the other updates! update 10/09/16- I think the problem is that with so many objects being combined (over 6,000) it is just taking longer to process. However, the Mac software shows a full progress bar when there hasn't been that much progress in reality. On the windows version, it shows a gif that it is processing. I tried it again using much less objects to combine and it almost finished the job before I stopped it. It took several minutes and i'm sure most of the timing was due to my older computer's processing power. Thanks. Stone Pattern 2.afdesign

MEB, I am trying to create a transparent edge to a photo (png with a transparent background) on all four sides, ideally the same width of transparence for all four sides. How do you do it? I tried the step for doing one side transparent as described above. I then copied that vector with gradiency there times. I tried adjusting each one to make transparent the left side, top, and bottom side only. Then I tried putting that over the picture layer to where you get the vertical blue line, which is what i think makes it a mask(?). It didn't quite work. Not finding any other answers in the forum as of yet or it looks like this is a new feature (multiple effects/fills/gradients per shape) for the next update? Please help at your convenience. Thanks.

How many times or platforms may a user install the beta for windows for Affinity Designer? For instance, may I install the beta on a pc and then pc laptop, all for the same user and only for that user? Thank you.
