    I reckon you’d have to make a Clipping Path for something like the sofa, to isolate it so neatly from the background. Then make a copy of that selection, convert it to grayscale, and make a selection of one of the channels in your Channel dialogue box, to preserve the shadows in that channel (usually have to ‘inverse’ the selection after making it). That’s how I’d go about doing something similar

    Best work around I can think of, as long as you only use one finger after zooming in to your preferred scale, then you shouldn’t alter the zoom (which is dependant on two fingers in contact with the screen
  3. BarKeegan
    No 🤔 but their should be! 😀

    Yes, there’s a Hand tool that you can unlock in Settings. It will allow you to move around the canvas without affecting your Zoom size. see below:

    Yeah, Boolean operations on a line, probably after Expanding Curves, would sometimes yield unexpected results. But sometimes using the Break function on a line/ stroke can be a better way to cut lines. Also, I find the Corner tool is handy for cleaning things up 🤷‍♂️ Suppose it depends on what your trying to achieve. (Personally I find Expanding Curves after adjusting curves on the stroke graph to be disappointing 😢)

    Could you try going the other way, start in Photos select 1, copy it, and paste into Designer?

    I’m getting it to work on my end, can upload a vid in a bit IMG_0285.MOV

    Something like this? FullSizeRender.mov

    You can ‘slide’ across layers with a finger to select them, subsequent sliding of layers adds to the overall selection

    Uploaded a short process video that might interest some. Normal speed, just showing how I add refined line work and colour to a sketch in Designer. Hopefully there’ll be something to take away from it. Let me know if there are any questions. IMG_0279.MP4

    Good job, nicely constrained detail

    Just to show how I approach cleaning up a character in Designer, with line work on top and colour fill beneath IMG_0343.MOV
  13. BarKeegan
    Oops... *handful
  14. BarKeegan
    Yes, a handle of features like that. With the requests/ suggestions filling up, would be good to see more, or at least a projection/ maybe periodical teaser of all the goodies we have to look forward to.

    Any plans for a significant update to the iPad version? Not just bug fixes
  16. BarKeegan
    You might have to convert the Stroke to a Fill, to be able to drop in solid colors
  17. BarKeegan
    I must admit, the blob brush was smooth, and since a unified point width is consistent with modern illustration trends, they get away without having some way of tapering the line (for now). the auto-closing of shapes using pencil tool is handy. Unfortunately the Pen tool is broken 😔
  18. BarKeegan
    Bummer! Well, I don’t think you’re missing out
  19. BarKeegan
    Have you had the chance to give Illustrator a go?
  20. BarKeegan
    Never heard of Birdfont, sweeet!

    Draw as many glyphs/characters as the task requires, arrange along underlying guides, kern by hand. Just a digital process of what sign makers would do back in the day
  22. BarKeegan
    You may be thinking of generating a full typeface, with all special characters, and again the requirements to handle the fine tuning of text that will display consistently in body and /or headlines would be quite an undertaking... but nothing stopping you from hand rendering lettering in Designer purely as Display type
  23. BarKeegan
    True, text on path is a good feature, how have you found the Pen tool?
  24. BarKeegan
    Here’s a suggestion, Serif need to capitalise on the fact the recent Illustrator release for iPad is brutal. Demonstrate how you get way more bang for your buck in terms of features and abilities, and all without being locked into a subscription. Seriously, get some live demos out there while the iron’s hot and steal the limelight. Designer has so much potential, routing for y’all 🤘
  25. BarKeegan
    So I tried Illustrator for iPad... it turns out Serif doesn’t have any competition 😅 for starters, the pen tool was kinda janky especially when closing a shape(if Adobe can’t even get the basics right...), no width variance features for strokes or corner smoothing, and for €10 a month!? Vector software has to at least get these fundamentals working out of the box or it’s a 👎 from me. Anyone lose have a better experience?
