@StuartRc Can you explain? Or can this only be done in the BETA version 2.1...... Thanks.
-
THANK YOU. BRILLIANT. I could never have found this myself, using the help section does not help at all unless the user is very skilled already or very technical. Have a very nice day. Yolanda

FOUND MY SOLUTION. FX: 1px and PRESERVE ALPHA turned on.
-
In layer 1: for the example I put in 3 different layers within the shape of the leg of the calamari. The stroke layer is the problem: the edge of the base curve get jagged (pixelated). When I put in a shape (fill curve, no outside line) it is fine. And when I change the stroke to the Expand Curve operation, it is fine as well. When I change the line into a vector brush line with a fance shape, it will also accure. (for example Acrylics-acrylics stroke 01) Zooming in and out, it is still visible. FX gaussian blur 0.1px also saves the edge, but the line (like acrylics) is less sharp of course and not what I want. Can anyone reproduce this? Is this the programm/software? Windows 10 - nvidia card Geforce gtx 1650 Thanks, Yolanda calamari.afdesign

stroke brush when short arrow appears
Yolanda replied to Yolanda's topic in V2 Bugs found on Windows
Sorry, to not reply to you sooner. I think it was a glitch. I deleted the brush. closed AD and after opening I created the brush again. So far I have not witnessed it again. Still learning................... happy greetings from the Netherlands -
stroke brush when short arrow appears
Yolanda replied to Yolanda's topic in V2 Bugs found on Windows
btw AD on windows 10 with nvidea card -
Is this behavoire known in V2 AD? I made a vector brush of 1500px long. When applied, and my point are 100 wide, the stroke will be an arrow instead of my stroke. When starting the brush tool, it first will be an arrow, but the vector stroke will change when the distance is more than 300px or so. I just need to know if Serif is aware of this, or should I officialy report this to them? THANKS btw not all brushes will do this, so I just edited this message with my self made brush. Can some of you please test this, or show me what I am doing wrong? YOLANDA Brushes bug.afbrushes

PRETTY SMART! Thanks.

Hi again, I tried to use the rectangular marqee tool, made it a few pixels smaller. And set feather to 0 px and antialias off. But still there is a small line between the squares in the pattern. Less, but not seamless anymore. Bug? Or did I miss somewhere something? thanks. Yolanda
-
What am I doing wrong, to get this effect instead of a beautifull filled pattern? I made a rectangel, filled it with a style and rasterised it. Layer- new pattern layer from selection and this is what i got. I do not want the 1 or 2 pixel lines. happy greetings, Yolanda
-
YES, that is the difference!!!! Got it. I tried to duplicate the letters and the rectangel in my workspace to excersize this. I just found out, that if you use a brush in a pixel layer, and then RightClick 'mask to below' it works as in your worksheet. ( @Dave Vector ) But starting with a vector shape as I did, you have to first 'rasterise to Mask' and then 'mask to below' the difference is the vector shape as a mask and a pixel layer as a mask. THANKS @anon2 Yolanda
-
Very Helpfull, thanks. BUT, I have to do 2 things on layer 4. First RightCLick 'Rasterise to Mask' and then 'Mask to below' to get the number 4 effect. If I don't Rasterise to Mask, I get number 2. And I still don't know the difference for adjustment and live filters. Do I drag them ON the tumbnail (number 2) or do I clip them (number 3). Can anyone clearify that for me? Happy greetings, Yolanda

@Rabalias, I am following this thread with great interest. I thought it was me that did not understand these brush settings due lack of expertise and feeling very blond at times. I just found out that if you set the opacity at a brush, DUPLICATE the brush, the opacity is now in the NEW brush settings. If I adjust the opacity and close the brush or use the X in de top right corner of the brush panel, it does not. Or sometimes it does. Or not....... I am missing a SAVE button, so I am sure the adjustments will stay in the brush. At least, this happens op Windows10 PC. For now I am setting the flow and accumulation both at the same % when changing anything, including under dynamics: the jitters. For me, that seem to work. FOLLOWING.... Greetings, Yolanda

Pretty intriguing.

@StuartRc well goodmorning to you. Many thanks for your explanation. That is really, really nice of you. I will study it and try to replicate it to figure out how it is done. Yesterday evening I was trying to shade and highlight with textured vector brushes, but I do not have the hang of it yet. I do use vector shading with the fill and tranparancy tool as a basis, the vector brushes sometimes behave odd. Using pixel brushes seems more natural. I will be busy the next couple of days. THANKS. Yolanda

@StuartRc This is so helpfull. That is why it is still flat. Since English is not my main language, I do not understand D : compound path. Sorry. B : I do use a pixel layer for shading. But in each layer. Each vector shape, so I do not go outside the lines. As I understand: you shade multiple vector layers at once with 1 pixel layer for shading? 😄 Yes, I did NOT shade the plants. Why didn't I think of that? And now I see that some of your plants have lightsources from the other direction. MANY THANKS FOR YOUR INPUT. Yolanda

Big learning curve: how to organise elements, color choosing, pentool in Designer and drawing excersize. And a big thank you to Stuart RC for all his contributions to this forum. As you can see, I used a lot of assets and his latest Dinosaur brushes, Poison brushes en vegetation brushes. It helps to look at the brushes how they are developed, it helps to look at the assets of leaves and plants and how they are build up. One day I can do it myself, but for now, I am using Stuarts Designs. So again, THANKS. Mostly done in Designer with Vectors. But the final touches are done in Photo. Yolanda

I did a restart on Photo, and now it seems okay. Moderators: I cannot delete this. You may, if you want. yolanda

Hi, I have got Designer and Photo. The brush I made in Designer with dynamics, size jitter 100% and put on pressure with 5th curve does not react the same in Photo. It seems the pressure part does nothing. It looks like a bug, but because I am still learning (I am following several courses on Udemy) I am not sure. I am on windows 10, latest version. Can anyone verify this is a bug, or is it me? greetings, Yolanda

multi cute minion help and tips required for newby

@John Rostron Sorry, good idea. JPG included. Yolanda

Hi, I required Affinity Designer in november, so please bare with me. I saw Wonderwomen, a car and a plane made by really, really great artists. I have no intention to get that good, but to get better I need to share my work for getting suggestion and tips. I am at kindergarten level. Starting out with 2 courses at Udemy, watched dozens of youtube tutorials, and glad I got it so far. The fur on the head is kind of okay, the body does not really fit. thearms stick out too much, shadowing is pretty hard. THe eye is jpg, I was unsuccesfull in following 'art with Flo' . I can not get the mouth blend better, like the illustration from Deema Egerov. (I need other artists work trying to recreate to develop myself.) So if anyone has some time to get me some tips, I love to hear from you. Many thanks, Yolanda monster1F.afdesign

Hi, I do NOT have Affinity Designer, only Photo. I do like to know more about paths and vectors and what is possible in Affinity Photo. Almost all tutorials will sent me to Designer (logical) when I search on youtube. Can anyone point me to a site where basics are explained and the possibilities of drawing in Affinity Photo? I know my way around very old versions of Illustrator. But I am not an artist, designer nor I have an education in that field. thanks and have a nice day. Yolanda

Thanks Simon. It worked for me and I have started watching. Lovely.

HI I was following along with the new video by James Ritson: paint mixer brush video for the new AP1.7. When I used it in the same way, with a texture brush, i got thrown out of the program. twice. When using the soft round brush, it looks fine. Just used the effects brush with the paint mixer brush, and again, the program shuts down. it happened to an .afphoto file, when opening a jpg, it did not happen. Can anyone try this and get the same results? I have a windows 10 computer. Thanks, have a nice day.
