Transparent Text For Stickers
firstdefence replied to mk2ben's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Open the image Select the Colour Picker tool (i) and Select radius; I got the same selection using 1 point or average of 65, it makes no difference as the colour is even. Now use Select > Select Sampled Colour... leave tolerance set at 15% and click Apply Press Delete/backspace on mac Deselect selection (cmd + D on mac) Add Black and white adjustment layer and click merge (you don't have to move the sliders. To erase the white border simply select the erase tool (E) select a basic brush 64px and erase away. Then add the outer glow FX -

You can do it by using the pixel persona, it's a smidge more complex but doable nonetheless, I'll do a crib sheet. -

In Affinity Photo Add a black and white adjustment layer and move the red slider all the way to the right (300%) and then click Merge Now use Filters > Colours > Erase White Paper To get the green outline add an Outer Glow FX -
As far as Im aware, it's not possible without having to handle the mask layer and drag it onto the adjustment layers icon. You can create a keyboard shortcut to create a mask, which will appear as a same level layer that you click and drag onto the adjustemnt layers icon. but if you could keyboard shortcut Mask to below you could do it in two keystrokes.

AP - Perspective correction
firstdefence replied to henryg's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
I generally do a bit of ground work first in so much as, I create lines with the pen tool to give a point of reference for height and width. Before perspective After perspective but prior to scaling the photographer back to match the green lines After perspective, using the green lines to scale the photographer back. -
can't see symmetry lines
firstdefence replied to angier's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
No, unfortunately they are nonexistent, there is no way to change the symmetry line colours. By all means make a suggestion in the feedback area: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/forum/52-feature-requests-feedback/ -
Hi, Ive just worked out how to get round this. I have homebrew installed and installed/updated python via the terminal brew install python ...it updated my python, which I believe is already installed with MacOS but I still got the clipboard error. I opened terminal up and ran this code. pip install clipboard so now I get past the clipboard error and now get the PIL error (ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'PIL') so I used this command in terminal to get past the PIL error, after this I got the GUI. pip install pillow

Create the paths/curves and then add them together using Layer > Geometry > Add or the top menu option With the subsequent paths/curves layer and the pen tool selected, you can create a selection from the paths/curves. Another option is to fill the curves with a colour and Command + Click on the layer to make a selection. Replace Command with Ctrl on windows. Doing it this way will keep the paths/curves so you can go back and modify them if the selection is not quite right.

AP v2 can't paint on mask?
firstdefence replied to jdvoracek's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
How have you made the mask? -
On Mac I can drag and drop, webP, Heif and Heic files into Affinity, no crash. Considering AVIF is similar to Heif, wouldn't it be fairly easy to add to the list of supported file types. Workaround 2,045 : Gimp supports Avif files so you could simply export to a file format Affinity supports for now.

Seamless pattern problem
firstdefence replied to Frankly's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Hi, interesting problem, shadows can have a range that the eye doesn't readily perceive but is there nonetheless. Only when you mismatch that area does the range become apparent. I think we also need to know how you are making the pattern for seamless tiling? It will be better if you could upload one of your pattern tiles for us to look at.- 7 replies
