For what it's worth, I followed the instructions by PixelPest and it worked as I was expecting. My needs were based on creating a logo and I needed to be able to have a vector image that I could scale for different uses. Attached is the final result in PNG form, but it was a lot of breaks and joins to create the shape I was after. Looking back - really felt like it was a "DOH!" moment, but to be hones, this kind of thing was what kept me out of Adobe Illustrator for the longest time. However [pause for dramatic effect] it was incredibly easy with Designer - why I spent so much time fighting pixels in Photoshop for so long is beyond me at this point.

I've largely spent the majority of my time in photoshop with only a little time in illustrator. No reason specifically, just the the conditions of most of my work. I purchased Affinity Photo a while back and was extremely impressed with it - enough to completely switch over. Earlier this week I thought - hey I bet Designer would be just as easy - so happy I rounded out my Affinity software collection. Went through your first tutorial on the Film Noir effect. Attached is the original, a really awesome image by Mikael Jansson that I pulled off of google images to turn out the other attached file titled Film Noir First Effort.afdesign. As a first effort to do anything with Designer, I was really impressed - both with the product and the video tutorial. Not sure I'd run off and get this first design tattooed on me, but it really was a fun and relatively easy process. Scott Film Noir First Effort.afdesign
