You running a Mac or Windows? In Windows it's found under Miscellaneous just like in 2.4.

Hi @caroline daniell, Like GarryP said if you have AD V1 you can export them and then import into V2. If you don't have V1 here's the Styles from AD v1. Default.afstyles

I've used Coredraw GS in the past, and still have a copy of CDGS 2017. Like Afred posted, it is best compared to all three Affinity Apps. CDGS has filters, effects Affinity apps do not have, it has PhotoPaint, Corel Trace, Corel Font Manager, just to name a few. Affinity apps are more similar to Adobe's PhotoShop, Indesign, Illustrator. There's a lot of video tutorials on YouTube. Take the time to view a few of them, paying attention to the UI, and how things are done. This would at least give you an idea.

Welcome to the forums @MrGLP Please don't post duplicate threads. There's been a reply to your other post: HERE

Welcome to the forums @M4_d_83 Perhaps looking at some of the Tutorials for Masking LAYERS Tutorials on YouTube

What GPUs are you referring to? Drivers up to date? What OS? Mac or Windows and versions? Which Installer did you use? MSI/EXE or MSIX? What are you doing when the crash occurs? Please be detailed. Please attach the Latest Crash Report (dmp) file.

I was surprised too, however it works. Also the Assets Panel refreshes as it should.

Tried on Windows 10 and get the crashing.

Your Welcome

If I understand you correctly, to adjust what portion shows up, you can use Gradient Handles to move the Fill (Texture) around. Is this what you're wanting to do, or am I missing something? 2024-04-16 22-56-18.mp4

Welcome to the forums @User_Mark, With Affinity Photo or Designer the process is about the same. Have your text selected Select the Fill Tool (Gradient or Vector depending on the app) In the Context Toolbar (at the top) open the Fill Type drop-down menu, scroll to the bottom and select Bitmap Navigate to the Texture file you want to use, select it. Now once you have the Texture, color and any other FXs you want to apply: Right Click on the Text and choose Create Style or go to the Edit Menu, scroll to bottom and select the same Create Style. In the Style Panel, (View>Style if you don't see it), your newly created style will be added, and you can Rename it by right-clicking it. For more information regarding styles check the Affinity Photo or Designer online Help..

Hi @hsmokey, welcome to the forums It's about this simple. Use the Warp Group at the bottom of the Layers Panel.. 2024-04-13 19-01-25.mp4

Welcome to the forums @Gsuddeth What type of input device are you using? Mouse, Pen/Tablet, Touchpad? Can you provide a screenshot of your Settings>Tools? In that tab do you have Use Scrubby Zoom enabled? In that tab do you have Use Mouse wheel to Zoom enabled Also have a look at this post to see if you're running a third-party app that might be interfering

I have it enabled. EDITED: (20mins later) I've tried with H/A disabled, and the app will still hang. With H/A disabled, I've also tried with other brushes, like the pencil and can get the app to hang.

Welcome to the forums @Kelly Paul So you're saying that Affinity Photo takes a cumulative time of over 3 hrs just in loading? Really? Where are the images located? Local Drive, External Drive, NAS, Cloud? You mention taking additional time for the Develop Persona, so are you processing RAW images? Are you double-clicking on the file(s) in Explorer or Finder, or are you first launching AP then opening a file (s) ? Are you using drag-n-drop to open images? Please provide us with information about your system, GPU, CPU, OS and Version. Loading a RAW file, from one of my external USB drives, only takes 13 secs for me, that's double-clicking on a file with AP closed. Launching and loading files from my internal drives, double-clicking on the file, ~6 secs, with AP open, only 3 secs. I don't have a very powerful system.
