    Hi jadoob, Welcome to Affinity Forums. Ideally yes, you should close your shapes. Although you can check Use FIll in the context bar for the Pen Tool, you will have a hard time later if you need to clip objects inside others or perform boolean operations, since those actions require closed shapes.

    Oh! exporting the cats! the contest! Of course it must be vector... My bad. Thanks Dave :)

    Hi JohnM, Welcome to Affinity Forums. You may also check Discover Affinity Designer & Affinity Designer Feature Overview to get an overall overview of the application. Here's a link to the full list of video tutorials available on Vimeo.

    Hi JuhaT, Welcome to Affinity Forums. Press space+cmd to zoom in and space + alt to zoom out. It works with any tool. As soon as you let go the shortcut, you're back to the original tool you were working with.

    Hi Sunset, Have you tried to create a slice just for one cat and export that slice only? Here's a video that may help you. Another way would be to put one of the cats in one layer and create a slice from it. Here's a video for this second method. Hope this helps.

    luigi de poggi, Perspective and distortion tools weren't implemented in Affinity Designer yet, but they are on our roadmap.

    Select Move Tool, click on Document Setup on the context toolbar (on top) and in the Color section, check Transparent background.

    I guess it's hard to please everyone here. But customisable shortcut keys are coming. Please bear with us.

    Love it too. Agree with Mike, seems a mix of modern with a retro twist somehow.

    There's no implications other than the lines appearing on screen at some zoom levels. Your file will export fine, without any lines.

    I think it's too soon for a feature like 3d extrude. Not only it implies considerable work, there's still a lot of features with higher priority to be implemented. Check out the feature roadmap for information about what's coming in the next months.

    Hi RPJ, this is not a bug neither a display issue. It has to do with Affinity Designer trying to antialias the edges of the cut area against the white background at different zoom levels other than 100% (or multiples). Since this is a rectangle with pixel perfect boundaries it should't show those artifacts on screen if you put your zoom at 100%.

    Hi purkypumpkin Welcome to Affinity Forums. I think MattP (one of the developers) is considering this. I know it was requested and discussed a couple times before but can't give you more details at this time. Just give him some time, I'm sure he will step in and give you more details.

    There's a reasoning for this behaviour: everything that implies a defined ratio, will scale proportionately without the need to press anything (like images and text) - we usually don't want to distort these. All that not implies a defined ratio (ex: shapes) will need the modifier key Shift pressed to keep their proportions.
  15. MEB
    Yes, distortion tools (and a lot more) are on Affinity Designer's roadmap.

    You can set up a slice to export just the part you want. Check the Export Slices video tutorial on Vimeo.

    Hi andiS, Welcome to Affinity Forums. Select both paths, make sure the smaller is above the other and then go to the second row of icons counting from right on the top toolbar and press the second icon counting from left (Subtract).

    Hi snolanuk, Welcome to Affinity Forums. As you already said Affinity Designer is a vector application. It does have some tools for global adjustments (Shadow/Highlight, Levels, Exposure etc) but doesn't provide tools for local editing (clone tools, patch tool etc). Those are features for Affinity Photo. Both Affinity Photo and Publisher are not available to buy. They weren't released yet. Affinity Photo will be available as a beta before the end of the year, and Publisher is expected for next year.
  19. MEB
    That's to be expected. It is the result of antialiasing two separate entities/objects where the edges overlap (in this case the fill and the stroke). You can overcome this by pixel aligning your objects wherever possible, overlapping the shapes a little to cover the background, or adding a shape of a similar color below them. Related thread.

    Agree with Jobalou, nice subtle texture on the planet and the lightning/color palette does give a relaxed/calm mood to the image. Nice work ^_^

    Great work mannyhenri. Nice details and humor ^_^

    Hi theste, Welcome to Affinity Forums. The brushes are still in development. Not all features are implemented yet. Just give us some time and we will get there :)

    Hi Paul, Welcome to Affinity Forums. Currently Affinity Designer doesn't have any specific tools for diagramming as Serif DrawPlus (like the Connector Tool, Dimension Tool, etc) neither it can open Serif DrawPlus files directly. Your only option is to export them as PDF's to import in AD. Affinity Designer is not a port of DrawPlus for mac. It's a totally new software created from scratch that doesn't have parity with DrawPlus tools neither share the same code base.

    peter, Maybe you have copied the object or the containing layer from other document or file you've downloaded on the forum. Affinity Designer retains the object/layer's color from one document to another.

    Hi Jobalou, You can't do it because it wasn't implemented yet. This was already requested and should me made available later.
