Alternative method: Edge.mp4

Probably yes. But you can try using my samples in your file. Samples.afdesign Place the gradient in the river silhouette, add more nodes, change the line thickness and color. Maybe you can do with just one line, changing the color of the river silhouette and the color of the gradient line. Test.mp4

Try moving the blurred image to the side. If it becomes clear after that, then it's a document rendering bug.

All I could get with the workaround. Unfortunately in this case, it is a texture that runs along a vector path. As a result, when exported to PDF, this gradient will be a raster gradient. Sample_2.afdesign Gradient.afbrushes

Yes, it's a shame. But you can change the "Title" in AP, in the "Metadata" panel. View > Studio > Metadata > File > Title

Welcome to the Affinity Forums! With a Gradient Tool, no. But there is a workaround, in AD, with a texture and vector brush. To do this, you have to create your own vector brush, using the gradient texture. Sample.afdesign Gradient.afbrushes Gradient.afdesign ---

If you purchased the program from the Affinity store, you will need to enter the product key and email again (the product key is tied to the email). But I don't know the particulars for the Windows store.

Welcome to the Affinity Forums! I remember that some users recommended that you log out of your account in the Affinity apps (if you were logged in), before reinstalling. The icon in the upper right corner:

If you're still talking about JPG compression at 50, then I recommend using a value of at least 90 (for Affinity apps).

Example of combining a Raster and a Vector: 1:37 https://youtu.be/zgOh-fC_v-o?t=97

Pixel Persona switches the interface to a raster brush mode, the same as in AP, including the "Pixel Tool" that allows you to create pixel art. https://youtu.be/jo26ojjHZtA

No, they use different types of brushes.

Strangely enough, it works correctly with the group. Masked Group.mp4

@kirk23 in your Alpha example, Blend Rnges are applied to the image, not to the group. Is this intentional?

Just try this group, which works like a mask. Put any layer in this group, and it becomes a mask. Non-destructive Mask.afdesign You can remove a layer from the group and it becomes a normal layer. Non-destructive Mask.mp4

Yes, this is probably an anti-aliasing issue. On the letter D, bottom right.

Double-click the magnifying glass icon and you get a zoom of 100%

Because you have not set the zoom level to 100%

You're right.

To turn the mask back into a regular layer, create a black or white rectangle under the mask and: Mask-to-Pixel.mp4 or Mask-to-Pixel-2.mp4 or Mask-to-Pixel-3.mp4 --

Try this method using a regular layer as a mask:

In that case, I would use groups. Mask-Group.afphoto Mask-Group.mp4

I like to use a normal layer as a mask, without any restrictions. A group of layers can make a composite mask, and you get full creative freedom.

Just write +1
