Or... try changing the blend mode of the Face layer, or dropping the face layer opacity to let the space bubble show through a bit. Another way would be to add reflections over the face layer using curves and then adding gradients using the Gradient tool with the opacity set to 0% on a colour.

Are you trying to do this but with signs?

Hi, what settings do you have in Affinity Photos Preferences on the performance tab? (take a screen grab and post it here)

Wouldn't the graphic look odd if one both had a corner radius of 14px but one was twice the size, you'd effectively be shrinking the radius. If you scale to 2x the corner will be 28px which would be correct if viewed on such as a retina screen and as far as I know there is no way to lock a corner radius from the effects of export scaling.

Hi @MikeW Yes I made that post because I wanted to find out how the inDesigners would handle the issue and the suggestions they would come up with. Never hurts to get opinions from different sources Other way round

Actually Indesign has the accent of a capital letter partially out of the text frame.

Probably adjust the Base Line under the Character Panel.

been there, done that, scrambled text and a cup of tea in the morning

As far as I'm aware you cannot convert a selection to a path/curve, this would require some form of trace capability to convert a raster image or part thereof to a vector but Affinity Photo doesn't have that capability yet.

You would, however the brush texture would be removed. If you still need the brush texture you can duplicate the shape and use it as a background.

Would be a good idea to list any font that freezes Photo to see if others are having a similar issue with particular fonts to see if there is a pattern. It would also help to list the version and build of windows being used for comparison, it would also be good if anyone is using listed fonts and Affinity Photo is not freezing. Do you use a font manager?

Which app are you using? You cannot convert a pixel image into a text frame, however, you can convert text into a text frame by Typing a letter or word, converting it to curves and then converting the curves to a text frame. A single letter: Type the letter Convert the letter to curves (CMD + Return) Select the Text Frame Tool and click on the text shape. A word: Type a word Convert the word to curves (CMD + Return) On the Layers panel, expand the group and select the text shapes Use Boolean Add to make them a single curves Select the Text Frame Tool and click on the text shape.

It would be nice to simply define a flip axis and flip an object around that axis but in the meantime you could use the Alignment handles and the construction tool.

Try this out: A4 sheet to A5 card.afpub

A4 in landscape mode with a vertical guide indicating the fold, maybe something along these settings.

I would have thought the printer software would deal with duplex printing, either automatically; pulling the sheet back in once printed on one side or manually; asking how you want to flip the page and telling you when to do so. How do you want the card to open? Folded edge vertical like book style, or folded edge at the top?

Do you have an example of what you are expecting? Have you tried the Layer Blend Mode: Luminosity?

Here you go, forgive my waffling, I was smacked off my head on Lemsip https://youtu.be/XryN-s0sZt0 This was the texture image I used: alabasterscratched.jpg.zip (1.1MB)

In Adobe Photoshop CC you can add as many drop shadows as you like, this gives you a massive range of effects that can be achieved not to mention all the other fx that can be duplicated. In Affinity Photo you can only add one outer shadow per object.

For testing purposes can you drop the Display option to OpenGL, this will require a restart of Affinity Photo. Once Affinity Photo has restarted test the display of the histogram, if it's still the same you can change it back to Metal. Another option would be with metal selected as the Display method uncheck Metal Acceleration and test again.

What are the settings in the Preferences Performance tab and do histograms display in other apps. Also does the histogram display in develop persona?

Try the Liquify persona and the push forward tool with a brush size of about 125px

I've had no complaints with my Artist 22e and my sister just adores her Artist 22 the 22R has a few more bells and whistles like the dials, it's has a battery free stylus. A few links to help: https://conceptartempire.com/report-rate-speed-rps/ https://conceptartempire.com/lpi-resolution/ The link below also has a compatibility list. https://www.xp-pen.com/product/541.html

Very good Idea Garry, makes perfect sense.

Do a screen grab with rulers displayed.
