Again, thank you. I've saved the paper texture as an SVG, and replaced the lake's texture. As before, the edges of the texture are outside the clipping area. As before, the edge of the water isn't smooth. I must be doing something wrong.

Thanks for helping! Unfortunately, it was already larger. I've made it even larger, but the fringe is still there. Do you have any other suggestions?

I'm not quite sure I follow. Are you saying to enlarge the texture layer, so the stair-step edges are outside the clipping area?

I've been using Affinity Photo for a while, but am new to vectors and Designer. I've been playing with some doodles, and have a technical question. I've been adding a paper texture to SVGs by dragging them inside the polygons, and they appear to have a fringe of white around them instead of being crisp. Is there a way to "clip" those layers so the edges don't show any fringe? Examples: https://straightstreetdesign.com/pa/ ... the Lake image is especially obvious. Thanks!

I'm new to vector editing and creation. I've watched all of the official tutorials, and am trying to learn more. There are a lot of great Illustrator tutorials out there, and sometimes they work in Designer. Here's one (below). Having never used Illustrator, and being new to Designer, I wonder whether the Object > Make > Blend, and other tools, have Designer equivalents. I can't find anything in AD like what's in this short tutorial...can anybody point me in the right direction? Thanks! .
