I have added a couple more stitches to the brushes.

Attached a quick image to show the brush effects.

I've just been experimenting with creating a vector brush style using images from PPX9. The result is interesting, and I thought I'd share it with other Serif users. It includes Hessian Stitching and Eyelets. Textiles.afbrushes

Sorry, that link was broken. I created them in Serif Photoplus and Photozoom. A little bit of editing in Corel Paintshop Pro X4.

Here are some useful textures I created and collated for use in Publisher for that authentic old-fashioned lined paper look and old parchment A4 textures. They are in a ZIP format and contain both PNG and JPEG versions. They were edited and created in Photoplus and PhotoZoom.

Actually, I have solved the issue. It is because the stabilizer function is on in Designer, but not in Publisher's Designer Persona. Simply clicking the box fixes the irregularity.

Thanks, Patrick. It is mainly in the rendering while drawing that the problem occurs, but the resulting drawing seems less fluid when in Publisher's Designer Persona when looking at the resultant vector path.

I have noticed that when in Publisher and switching to the designer persona that vector brushes do not operate as smoothly as they do in Designer proper. There is less smoothing and the temporary render updates quickly but looks very rough. It is just a quirk but may need investigating. Using Windows 10 on a Lenovo T430.

If you have two similar images and wish to create the double exposure effect then I suggest using the New Stack function to load both images in to Affinity Photo as stacked layers. Play with the pass through function to get the best mix, I suggest mean, median, range or outlier. When you have a suitable result rasterize and trim the image then edit the resulting image in the Develop persona to adjust colour and saturation to your own preference.

It uses the same perspective as the original artist's photograph. I rather liked this dual vanishing point layout. It makes it look more dynamic and alive.

Leylines. A subtle version of the eerie image.

Oh. I understand. Social services have had far too many cutbacks.

A housekeeper? There's posh. That Ghost and Aura effect are very effective.

Here is an Eerie effect using the GMIC Ghost, Freaky Black and White, Aura, and Chromacity plugins. This was created using the stack function with mean pass-through. Rasterize and Trim and then tweaked in the Develop Persona.

Here I have taken an original image of a beautiful sunset and using the G'Mic plugin with Affinity Photo created some artistic HDR versions of the Image. Using a variation on the HDR merge technique.

Two here. One engraving stye and one a graphic novel style. Both using the HDR Merge technique.

Has anyone looked at deleting the Prefetch file related to the App in the Windows Directory and then reloading the application to create a new prefetch file? Does that make any difference in Windows 10? Or is this problem only Mac related.

Very cool.

No, I altered it to prevent future misunderstandings on seeing your comment. Thanks. BTW Pencil Portrait works very well too.
