  1. I noticed a possibly related issue, my version is 1.8.0.555 on Windows, I don't have access to my Mac here.
  2. Hi, I noticed I now have to remove xmlns:serif="http://www.serif.com/" from the svg files to be able to upload to Canva.com. Any chance of leaving this out in future releases?
  3. test-vctr.svg uses fill="#4e1b44" test-aff.svg uses style="fill:rgb(78,27,68);fill-rule:nonzero;" I'm guessing canva does not support the latter. As a side note, you have to remove xmlns:serif="http://www.serif.com/" from the svg files (use a text editor) to be able to upload to Canva. I guess this was added with the latest version of Affinity Designer.
  4. @Frankentoon That's really well done, the texture work looks amazing!!
  5. Hi guys, Google announced a new open source jpeg encoder yesterday. Will you be implementing this in future versions of Affinity products? https://research.googleblog.com/2017/03/announcing-guetzli-new-open-source-jpeg.html
  6. I don't think this is possible at the moment with eps. If you use svg, the layers are kept. @serif: Any plans on implementing this any time soon?
  7. Hi Chris, That's a commendable effort for sure, thanks for your contribution!
  8. I am currently using the Windows version, does this also happen on the Mac version?
  9. I agree with HaroldL, it would make finding new topics much easier. Perhaps mandatory tags could be a solution?
  10. I would like to confirm that duplicating the same object on top does seem to fix this issue temporarily, which confirms it being an anti-aliasing issue. Adding a thin inside stroke of 0.1 or 0.2 pixels of the same color as the shape seems to be a workaround as well. Hopefully a real solution can be found, but I'm sure it is no easy fix.
  11. I am experiencing this issue as well. This does not happen at all in Illustrator, so hopefully this can be fixed in AD as it's a serious annoyance for me right now.
  12. Hey David, very nice work! I like the concept of a raving Icecream van and the color scheme matches the ice cream theme nicely ;)
  13. Hi Jon, There seems to be some confusion as to why you end up with 2 extra columns on the left and right side of the document. The reason for this is that there is no way to have a margin on the left side of your document using the default grid setup. By following this tutorial you end up with a document that contains 2 more columns, but you simply do not use them. In the export persona, you can easily set the slice to export only the part of your design you need. I marked which part you would actually use in the screenshot below. Hope this helps.
  14. I noticed someone asking me for access to the Google Drive file. It is actually view only at the moment, so the best thing you can do is make a copy. Here's a Dropbox link to the Excel file with the calculations in case someone finds that easier. https://www.dropbox.com/s/kkbh8z9rx3djqt4/Affinity%20Designer%20centered%20grid%20calculation.xlsx?dl=0
  15. Hi all, I figured out a way to configure a centered grid design in Affinity Designer, with a custom number of columns and gutter width. Below is a spreadsheet to calculate the required values. If you make a copy of the file to you Google Drive, you can edit the values. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1imTD6Ao3OJyS0_E-fnHTr5l9GKG9zulM4uIutVZGAnE/edit?usp=sharing Example values for the calculation: Grid width: 1170 px Nr of columns: 12 px Column width: 97.5 px (= grid width / nr of cols) AD Gutter: 30 px AD Spacing: 67.5 px (= col width - gutter) AD Document width: 1335 px (= 2*spacing + gutter + grid width) Here's how you would use these values in AD to set up your grid. Create a new document, use the calculated document width, 1335 px in this example. Go to the View menu, enable 'Show Grid' and open the 'Grid and Axis Manager' Apply this grid manager configuration: - Untick 'Use automatic grid' - Select 'Advanced' mode - Untick 'Uniform' under 'Grid type' - First Axis spacing: 67,5 px - First Axis gutter: 30 px - Second Axis spacing: 1000px, for this example we use the document height but you can use any height you like Add guides to the left side of the first and last gutter. Go to 'View' - 'Guides Manager' Add half the gutter width to both guides by appending '+15' and pressing enter. This should be the final result. You will end up with two additional columns on the left and right side of the document. The reason for this is that there is no way to have a margin on the left side of your document using the grid setup. By following this tutorial you end up with a document that contains 2 more columns, but you simply do not use them. In the export persona, you can easily set the slice to export only the part of your design you need. In the screenshot below, I've marked the area you actually use. Of course there is an example .afdesign file to save you the trouble ;) centered 1170 px 12 col grid kareldries.afdesign
  16. I can confirm the issue has been resolved with version 1.5.0.42 (beta)
  17. Hi, I encountered an error when trying to change either color for a gradient to transparent. Here are the reproduction steps: Create a new document Select the Gradient tool Click on the color picker in the menu bar Select the Gradient tab Click on color and select the transparency icon You'll get an unhandled exception error Affinity Designer for Windows version 1.5.0.39 (beta) running on Windows 8.1 If you have any questions, I'll be glad to answer them. Kind regards, Karel
  18. Hi, my name is Karel Dries and I live in Belgium. I enjoy creating nice graphics in my spare time and hope to make the most of Affinity Designer. In the past I used Illustrator and Photoshop a lot, as most of you around here used to (or still do :), but I am quite excited about using Affinity Designer after testing the beta version for Windows. This forum has already been very helpful in finding answers to my questions and I'll do my best to answer other peoples questions in turn. Kind regards, Karel
