[Analyze and suggest colors?]

Yes, please move it to the feature requests section.

[Convert transparency to color?]

You are right, thank you!

 

However, this involves several or many steps when I want to accomplish this.

 

It would be very useful if there was a single command which automatically creates a layer with a rectangle exactly the size of the project area and places it in the background. Then it should be possible to "cut out" areas from this background rectangle area. Then these cut-out areas could be colored with another color or simply removed.

[Analyze and suggest colors?]

Does Affinity Designer have a Smart Color Wizard? It should be able to:

 

Analyze all (or only the selected layer) colors in the project and then suggest one or more colors which best fit these colors by using different algorithms.

 

That would be VERY useful!

[Convert transparency to color?]

Hello!

 

In Affinity Designer, is there a feature to replace transparent areas by a specific color?

 

• Replace all transparent areas

• Replace only the single contiguous transparent area I click on

 

I have searched for this in the program, but I did not find anything.

[How to make corners more rounded?]

15 minutes ago, Scungio said:

Yeah, it would be easier to just replace that square with the round corners with a regular square and then you can use the corner tool to select all 4 points and then round them how you want. Wait, let me finish this leftover chinese food (my favorite breakfast) and I will throw together a video.

Been itching to try out my Screenflow 7 upgrade anyway,

Scungio, thank you so much!!! Your video helped me to duplicate your solution and it works perfectly!

 

I have learned so much here and I want to thank you all!

 

Have a nice weekend!

[How to make corners more rounded?]

Hello MEB, thank you for your kind advice!

 

I have tried to delete one of the two nodes at the corner with the Node tool and then drag the remaining node back to the exact sharp corner position. But that is almost impossible to do exactly. Or are there any tools to do this exactly?

[How to make corners more rounded?]

How can I make the corners of this icon more rounded:

 

 

I tried the corner tool but did not understand it.

 

Maybe you can look at the attached SVG, maybe you can tell me whether this is possible at all:

[How to draw a square with a dotted line?]

6 minutes ago, A_B_C said:

I have edited my earlier post, since I missed the “Dotted” in “Dotted Line.” You must set Cap to Round. Sorry for creating confusion. 

 

A_B_C, if I set Cap to round the dots become rounded which looks ugly. Only with Butt Cap the dots are squared.

These Settings now gave the best results:

 

    

[How to draw a square with a dotted line?]

You are right A_B_C, setting the cap to butt changes the line type. But now this is still not a dotted line:

 

[How to draw a square with a dotted line?]

I have set now the Dash values as you said but still nothing happens:

 

[How to draw a square with a dotted line?]

Thanks for the answer.

 

I have set the Dash values now to 0 - 1 - 0 - 1 but nothing happens.

[How to draw a square with a dotted line?]

I need to create a simple square with a simple dotted line. Until now I created the square but I did not find a "dotted line" option:

 

 

 

 

[Cannot draw a straight line!]

Now the program has crashed. (I am using the Beta). Sorry, that's enough for today now.

 

But THANKS for all your nice help!

[Cannot draw a straight line!]

Ah, the Arrow Shape. That seems to be better. But the thickness of the line seems to be synchronized with the thickness of the arrows. How can I set them separately?

[Cannot draw a straight line!]

Thanks for your patience reglico. But I cannot find the Vectorize command. Only the Rasterize command.

[Cannot draw a straight line!]

How can I have the ends of the line have arrows?

[Cannot draw a straight line!]

Thanks reglico. With the Line Mode button, it works. No need to double-click.

Why is the Line Mode button (or one of the other Mode buttons) not automatically selected when I click the Pen Tool?

[Cannot draw a straight line!]

I have discovered that additionally after having drawn the line I have to pull on one of its ends to actually draw the line.

Why can I not simply draw a line like with a real pen in the real world?

[Cannot draw a straight line!]

Sorry if this is a very stupid question.

But I need to draw a single straight line.

So I select the Pen Tool, hold down the Shift key to make it perfectly horizontal, draw it and it appears. Good.

But then as soon as I click the Move Tool the line disappears!

Why?

[Change document colors to harmonious color set]

This feature would be very useful: An algorithm analyzes all colors used in the document and changes them to a harmonious color set.

 

Then it presents a preview of several different (random) proposals on how these colors are distributed in the document. Then the user can pick the proposal he likes the most.

 

This is how it could be achieved: For example, the document contains these 3 colors: ColorA, ColorB and ColorC. Then, starting from a CustomSetOfHarmoniousColors, the algorithm parses all document colors and for each document color, it searches the nearest color in the CustomSetOfHarmoniousColors. Then, it approximates each document color to its nearest harmonious color by a preset percentage.

[How to join two nodes?]

Thanks reglico - this is a very smart idea!

[How to join two nodes?]

Is this a universal law? I think it would be useful if a node could join more than 2 other nodes.

[How to join two nodes?]

Thank you very much, you have helped me a lot! So curves must always be ONE linear line of joined nodes? And there cannot be more than two lines going out from one single node?

[How to join two nodes?]

Please see the attached screenshot: In Affinity Designer, I have a curve in the Nodes view. How can I join the two blue-marked nodes with a straight line?
