Hello! I have multiple 3”x5” .jpgs. 100’s of them in fact. For each one I need to place either a text box or another jpg in the bottom right coroner. More or less a “watermark”, or stamp if you will, although it needs to be 100% opaque and highly visible. I am hoping to find a way to automate placing the watermark/stamp so I don’t have to place it manually on each jpg and export. I tried to use a macro followed by a batch job. I brought in about 50 of the .jpgs as a layer stack, and placed the watermark at the top. I turned layer visibility off for all but the watermark at the top. Sadly once I started to record the macro, it would not let me record turning on the visibility of a layer. Can anyone advise on a workflow that might allow me to accomplish this automation? I have Affinity Photo, Designer, and Publisher. I do not have Photoshop (and can’t afford it). Perhaps someone knows of an open source product that will do this? Gimp, Inkscape? I also tinker with python if there is a library for this type of thing? Thank you!

Hello and thank you in advance for any suggestions. Bit of a newbie here. I have all three desktop programs (photo, designer, publisher). I have a single tif image which is a collage of 9 other images.....a scanned photo album page which had nine individual photos at 3" x 5" each. My current workflow is to use the rectangle selection tool to select one of the 9 pictures, apply a mask, and export the selected area to a separate tif (with a separate name). Then create a new rectangle selection over the second picture, export the selected area, etc. This workflow requires that I do this process 9 separate times for each photo in the collage. I have lots of these collages so I am hoping to find a different way. I tried making a macro but it won't allow me to record the final step of exporting the selected area. Is there any workflow that would allow me to for example, create a vector "grid" that I can place over the .tif and "cut out" each picture with one click of a button? Or anything else to reduce the steps involved? Thank you! lc

I have created a simple design which I hope to use in mapbox as an icon. mapbox requires svg. I export my design to svg but when I load into mapbox, the fill colors are not there. the icon is "there" in my custom styles list but the colors do not appear at all. I have tried multiple different settings on the AD Export More options from the svg export tab (making sure to check Use hex colors, flatten, etc) , but they all have the same result when brought into mapbox. Mapbox has troubleshooting for Illustrator and other problems here - https://docs.mapbox.com/help/troubleshooting/studio-svg-upload-errors/#common-issues I cannot find the equivalent settings for what is suggested for Illustrator in Designer. I also tried to understand the svg file by changing the .svg to .txt and examining it in notepad. I checked the various tags against support / unsupported elements, and I cannot see any problems (admittedly I am not a web designer however) I can see the .svg in both firefox and chrome. Thank you for any help. Windows 10, AD 1.8.2 training.afdesign training_7_unchecksetviewbox.svg

I have a very simple layer effect - a 4 pixel outline - that I would like to apply to multiple individual layers. Is there a workflow to save a layer effect so that it can be applied over and over again? I thought it might be a style, but I can't seem to save the layer effect as a style. And I don't see anything that allows me to copy / paste a layer effect. Thank you.

These don't seem to work with Windows version? I unzip, but importing generates an error. Am I doing something wrong?
