Keyboard Shortcuts in Win10 for Layer Arrange Funktion don't work! Those are the culprits: Ctrl+] Ctrl+Shift+] Ctrl+[ Ctrl+Shift+[

Everything looks okay. I see you have several sound tabs and here in the forum I read something about problems with Affinity Designer in connection with NVidia Surround Sound. Search here for "NVIDIA Surround" and I'm thinking about what might be the problem!

Hello "thegary""SoniaBT", can you please take a screenshot of your direcX version? It seems as if you have problems with the graphics memory! Affinity Designer & Photo only work with DirectX 10 or better DirectX11. To check which version of DirectX is installed on your PC, use the DirectX diagnostic tool: 1. Select the Start button, type dxdiag in the search box and press Enter. 2. In the DirectX Diagnostics Tool, select the System tab, and then check the DirectX version number under System Information. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/15061/windows-which-version-directx Please take two screenshots as shown here:

Please check if you get faster workflow with this setting under (Edit > Preferences... > Performance > View Quality:) from "Bilinear (Best Quality)" to "Nearest Neighbour". Note that the quality of the displayed image may look worse in the view than it is, but the refresh rate is faster!

Thank you Reglico, I already knew that the raster brush can be used without "rotation", but unfortunately I have no control or possibility to correct after my curve lines. With vectors already! I still hope that this feature has already been planned by developers, because it is only a code snippet that prevents the rotation along a curve! PS: The examples "Expected result:" were created with the raster brush in Pixel Persona.

Is it perhaps a variant of the "Freemasonry Pyramid"? PS: What's the topic here, don't you have better things to do?

Hello Affinity Team, I have a problem with the function "vector brush" or brush on curve and I wanted that my created brush is anchored horizontally instead of turning in the vector curve. My idea was that with the Vector or Curve I get more influence on the drawn objects like brush width, Size Variance etc. without the objects changing their angle position. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a switch yet. Is this a case for your to-do list or do you already have this feature in the feature roadmap? Here are some examples when I assign a brush to a curve: Actual result : Expected result: Actual result : Expected result: Actual result : Expected result: Actual result : Expected result: Brush live arranged: Approach to my drawing idea which unfortunately didn't work out:

For MAC I personally can't name an alternative, but from my circle of friends the program "Filmora Scrn" from Wondershare is often used. Available in WIN and MAC versions, has several tracks, filters etc... but is not freeware! https://filmora.wondershare.com/screen-recorder/ PS: A friend of mine has just recommended the program "Monosnap". I don't know it myself but there are for WIN and MAC https://www.monosnap.com

I'm sorry, but it's always complicated when people ask for solutions without giving a detailed description of the problems. In the beginning it was "I have a complicated grid that is black and should go dark blue." and later it was "it's one picture. A foto with a small grid on top.", what exactly now?! PS: It would be helpful to know such information about the beginning of the topic and best with a picture or a section of it.

Hi, Shojtsy, you are right, the entire Grayscale range except pure White is affected. Sorry, I had also overlooked that "Pixelworker" didn't want to use a Mask at all. Another and perhaps more elegant option in this case would be to use the "Gradient Map" filter. This filter is given very little attention, but it has it in itself! It can be used to assign different Grayscale nuances a specific Color or to wrap a Color Image into Grayscale Image. Here's the quick one, a screen video of me: grid_recolouring_gradient.mp4

Hi pixelworker, actually it's quite simple,"as long as you have a picture in black & white". 1. You take the copy of the original image and convert it into a mask. 2. Then assign the mask to the original image and the black parts are transparent. 3. Now you put a color layer in the desired color into the background and you're done! I quickly made a video of it, see attachment grid_recolouring.mp4

Hi Chris_K, For a UI, Mock-Up and Font Designer this looks curious: How is it that Affinity Designer advertises with "Zoom of over 1.000.000%" but can't handle the conversion of small objects 100% perfect or better said "1.000.000%"?! In my opinion it is an essential and the most used function at all and should work "perfect" in an illustration program from the beginning! Even a newcomer program like Gravit Designer can handle the function at an early stage of development! But Incscape masters it absolutely perfect! Is there a timetable when this error will be fixed? PS: If it was up to me, best right now! Gravit Designer - Conversion Process: Gravit Designer - Before & After: Incscape - Conversion Process: Incscape - Before & After:

Hi guys, At the moment I'm fighting with the theme of assets, symbols and grouping in the Affinity Designer. Compared to the illustrator, Affinity has revolutionized the handling of symbols and I am "relatively" satisfied with the available tools, but there is still room for improvement! I've been looking for the same ideas for a long time. There are many suggestions with different content and it is very difficult to follow them, so I do not know whether there have been similar proposals or not. So, let's go! With the identical objects I was able to help myself with assets and symbols, but when it comes to working on other forms in a group simultaneously, it's over with fun. Replacing symbols or objects with inheritance of their original size and position is not possible in Affinity Designer or I haven't found a function for it yet. I have found a good example of how such a thing can or has been realized in Microsoft Powerpoint (2013). It is not a real illustration program but the simple way to modify objects is unsurpassed! Please have a look at the examples here and I am curious about your review. Is this a "Nice to Have" feature for you or a feature that allows you to work quickly, effectively and flexibly? Or is such a feature already in your portfolio? Here you will find some visual examples without the generation of symbols "cloning" like in AD: Objects can be modified individually or together in a group. Different objects can be modified together Objects can be replaced together or independently. The size, position and rotation of the original object is taken over. Just a very simple drawing like the pentaptych or tryptichon is a challenge in AD An example of how PowerPoint works. Try to do this in AD with symbols at the same time and then replace them afterwards. In addition, AD (such as Adobe Illustrator CC and Incscape. With the exception of the CAD programs, because it would be fatal) a strange feature to deform the symbol duplicates (which are changed in their aspect ratio) during rotation. It is also not possible to edit the symbols in the "quasi" mask group, since this group is converted to a solid layer.

Here you go! Welcome to the Affinity's World and the amazing Forum here Alex
