Affinity iPad Student

The trophy king strikes again!! Thank you @Paul Mudditt

Hi, I have no idea how to word this, so I created a video on luma touch which I attached below. However, I can share what I am trying to do. I would like the text underneath the circle shape. I would like the text to be legible, basically not upside down. I also don’t understand why the shape is disappearing. Shape needs to be present. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. Probably @DM1 got this. IMG_8955.MP4

It does get tedious having to constantly re-do my FX metadata over and over. I may need to use this metadata later, because I created something in AD.. an hour later requiring the same meta data. How do I copy the metadata, so I can use it when needed, by immediately copying it over, so I can go about my creations. Is this even a thing? Thanks.

@DM1 Dude you have literally “in my opinion” mastered these affinity suites. May I suggest that you... Take all the questions you have resolved on here. And as is... put it on Udemy? meaning no extra work... just take the questions you have already answered, show the question, then show the video you already uploaded that resolved it. I will buy it!! you have literally answered so many questions on here that have resolved so many questions. At least if you put it on Udemy or other any other paid for online education sites. We will have these questions and answers (like a database) in a way - - where we can go there and find answers, you can update as you go. I’m saying we all have to live and living costs. If you decide to do this.. let me know, I’m buying!

I have checked YouTube and google. No real instruction on how to create basic glass. Here’s what I’m trying to do. Apologies no image, on my iPhone and I am out and about. I have a rectangle. It’s color is purple. I want to make it look like purple glass. How? Opacity alone, doesn’t sell the effect. any videos or anything in the serif videos section that comes close to demonstrating this for AD on iPad? thank you.

Got it, thanks.

Waddup my creative peoples! I recently ran across Envato Elements. I was curious as to will the asset effects and templates from there work on AD & AP? Website Here

Hi guys, I created what is basically a door frame. I am trying to fill in the area (shown in the photo) not the whole shape, just that double lines area. but it’s not working - fill keeps painting the entire shape. I am making sure the layer I want filled (in a group layer) are chosen My nodes are connected there are not openings I tried both fill tools, the icon on the lower left, and the gradient fill tool icon. Both color the back ground grey, instead of focusing in my door frame. I have no idea what I am doing wrong..? FullSizeRender.mov

@Dan C Thank you! All these links are extremely helpful for me. Do let Serif know, if you ever have talks. There are people out here, who appreciate Serif and would be more than happy to purchase some of their macros, luts, and any other stuff they can create.

@carl123 I highly appreciate this - thank you! Do they not have a store where we can buy macros? Is there any where else where I can check out what the macro’s look like so I can buy or download? Thanks.

I’m looking for the Light Leaks macro that I missed out on when it released. I would also like to browse what other Macro’s & Luts Serif may sell. I love their product - I want to support. I went here: https://affinity.serif.com/en-us/store/ Don’t see anything regarding macro’s or luts. Only thing I saw with light, in their online store is the lighting pack, but it does not mention having macros.

I am looking for.. Macros Luts The above - for either AP or AD, is there a universal thread we can download these things? Does Serif offer any free resources we can use for AP/AD somewhere on their website? Thanks everyone.

@Callum Trophy for you! Good lookin’ out. I had no idea about that. Thank you.

I followed instructions (I hope) from @DM1 and @Alfred from a post I made awhile back. This one: I don’t know what I am doing wrong. Arrow is not appearing once I draw. As in the post I linked, I tried to replicate @DM1 I chose pencil tool, I chose rope option, whatever I am doing wrong - I don’t see it. Can someone guide me please, thanks: FullSizeRender.mov

@Paul Mudditt As always super helpful - you’re amazing dude. I think I ran into an issue with the font I am using which I downloaded online dafonts.com. There was a weird double or triple like spacing inbetween the words typed out. I immediately assumed it was AD, but after seeing your video - the font has to be the culprit. Thanks.

@Paul Mudditt Dude, you are so awesome. I remember that you showed me this (like 4 months or 5 months ago) totally forgot. I have those saved already thanks to you. Thanks man. One of those out of sight out of mind things.

Thank you. Wow. I am surprised Serif does not deem perspective viable in AD. I understand, they do not want cross contamination between AD & AP (So they can both have uses and both can sell) but perspective tool? that’s the same as text, shapes, layering system... it’s needed in both AD & AP imho.

I am trying to get one of my assets in AD to press against the wall, at the perspective of the wall. but no perspective filter, so how does one, go about setting up perspective in AD?

I see. Thanks

As subject title asks. I created a frame, my letters are typing out of the frame. I am guessing this is because the text point size is too big. (I don’t mind resizing, I just mind resizing every single time I type more characters into the frame) does get tedious. If there is a wrap option... Wrap would automatically resize text size point and adjust text, to fit into frame as more characters are typed within the frame. Sort of like apple notepad does as you type into one sentence or notability app note taking app does. Is this possible with AD? I can’t seem to find wrap even by googling.

@v_kyr Thank you. I’ll check it out.

So I created this outer space, tron neon - cyber punk landscape. Not my credit, I am following two videos in youtube and following along, mixing it, into one design. So here’s my issue. The steps, are explaining the images in sequence. 1) I created a ground grid landscape. 2) I needed to create a void separation into the ground, so I pen tool’d, and blacked it. 3) So, those are rectangles, creating that black void. Here is my issue: I need to create depth, and let some lighting in there, so it can look realistic. My mind says, use the brush.. (I’m still a noob here) so ok, if use the brush, I have the standard ones that come AD. That said... which brush creates like a soft lighting? as if you’re standing on ground, looking down into a hole (let’s say you’re about to spelunking) you’ll see the rocks and light, and shadows as stare into the hole. So I want to add that kinda of depth to the sides that I squiggled in green. Thanks.

Thank you @DM1 I see, export the category into the cloud, and then import them via AD. Thank YOU!!

Title says it all, how do I go about this? If they haven’t installed this feature yet... @serif.. I love you, but we going to get into a fist fight.

How can we detect the center of the screen or page we layer, artboard.. etc. That we are working on with pen tool? Please see image. The guy I am following is using PC version, so all he has to do is hold down shift. How do I activate that on ipad? Thank you. I’m following this video: (He starts the center page detection thing at the 55 second mark) BELOW ISSUE SOLVED: (CHANGE IT THROUGH THE PEN TOOL ITSELF) NEW ISSUE: (At 6:52 mark of video, I cannot change the lines to pink, like he is easily doing. Cannot change color of lines created by pen tool? I even tried removing the grid lines out of the rectangle they were nested in, within the layer - Still not working. Followed his directions exact, on - what am I doing wrong?)
