Hi JimmyJack, So I've done some other tests and found that your workarround works only in one situation: If my text is written in black. If you apply the mask to the clipped image, this will not affect both the Text and the clipped image at the same time, but will apply only to the clipped image, and the color of the text will appear accordingly to the mask Here are the results of my different tests. As you can see, if the text is written in black, this seems to work well, but If my text is written in an other color... (In fact, if the text and my vertical rectangle are both colored with the same color, the fade effect is working...) @++ Dwarf

Hi mur_phy, Actually I see 2 or 3 methods to add borders to your copy/pasted , placed images. You can use the FX (effects) panel to add a border to any layer. This border can be placed outside, inside or center Or you can use any shape and clip your image to this shape, then use the properties of the shape to add a border. @++ Dwarf

Hi JimmyJack, Thanks for your reply, If I remember well, I tried to put the mask on the image but the result was the same. I'll try again tomorrow. @++ Dwarf

Hmmm ok ! Do you have any idea when it will be fixed ? Is there any bug tracker somewhere ? @+ Dwarf

Hi there, Can someone explain me why I cannot get the same result when I use a greyscale gradient onto a layer mask and a opacity gradient onto a vector layer mask ? In order to help you understand what I mean, here are 2 screenshots of the same photo. I used 2 different methods to achieve this result: - One using my Text as a 'vector' Layer mask onto my Image - One using my image clipped to a text with a layer mask From my point of view, this should be the same result as both 'greyscale gradient' (for pixel layer masks) and 'opacity gradient' (for vector layer masks) deal with transparency of the layer. But strangely it is not !! Look at the quality of the fade on the second image. Can someone explain me why I got this strange greyish color on my second screenshot ? If I don't use any gradient (greyscale or opacity) onto my layer masks, the resulting images are exactly and rigorously the same !! I tried both methods into photoshop, and as I thought I can achieve the same result. A clean and smooth fade of my text without any greyish color. (look at the last 2 screenshots) Thanks for your help ! @++ Dwarf PS: I can attach the affinity photo file and PSD file if needed !

Hi Callum, Ok thanks for you fast and precise answer ! I'll be patient and wait for the new release :)

Hi there, This is my first post on the official forum. I'm using Affinity Photo on Both mac and windows and I got some strange behavior with my windows version; When I'm in the Develop Persona, I rearrange the panels to my liking and work with some RAW files. If I switch from Photo Persona to Develop Persona several times in the same "session" the panel layout is correct. Once I close Affinity Photo, when I reopen it, my custom layout of the Develop Person are gone ! All the panels are reverted back to their original position. (The custom layout of the Photo persona is OK) Am I alone in this situation ?? On the mac version, all is fine ! everything is saved. Windows version: 1.5.1.54 Windows 10 Thanks for your help/answer.
