Did a bit of zoomed in testing, reversing the curve doesn't change any of the red highlighted nodes, boolean adding a duplicate changes some of the red nodes but not all of them.

Nope all crossed nodes are still there but doing the duplicate, then boolean add to both N layers now removes the N from the background. I wonder if there is a break somewhere in the path and the add boolean closes the path?

I would have to see the original file to work out what was going on. I'll still stick with the issue was caused by crossed nodes because once I had corrected those there was no need to do a boolean add with a copy. I suspect the boolean add corrects the crossed nodes but I'll check now to see if I can see some of the same glitches.

Yep that works too

With fonts like this you're always going to get node glitches and the only way is to trawl around the edges at a high zoom to spot the issues, there is no substitute for hands on grunt work. I even pasted the shape into illustrator to try node cleanup but that came back as no issues. I wonder if there is a plugin for this sort of issue that can either highlight crossed curves etc so you can easily spot them. Update: Astute do VectorFirstAid for Illustrator which looks pretty powerful but thats not much good for Affinity users unfortunately

Elementary my dear Alfred.

The problem was crossed nodes and overlapping curves, I've just run around the curves edges and corrected approx 20 errors. Help.File + History.afdesign This is an example

I don't know whether this will help but take a look at this: https://www.paintcodeapp.com/news/ultimate-guide-to-iphone-resolutions

Also be careful when adding nodes as a slight movement during a click will add a smooth node instead of a sharp node, you can change it to a sharp node if you do this but just thought you should be aware of this in case you want a straight line. Sharp nodes have a square shape, a smooth node is a solid round shape and a smart node is a round shape with a dot in the middle.

Hi John, re waiting No, I haven't had to wait that long, Tomorrow I'll take a few images, its raining at the mo but it reckons its going to be dry in the morning so I might get so dew shots to run through. I personally think I get better images without all this Super Smoothing Resolution hoop jumping. In the super res post I only just noticed your workflow ask. I would generally use one of the raw conversion apps I have because I have NEF files and the Standalone HDR Efex Pro doesn't import those so I generally end up making 16bit TiFF. I've done New HDR Merge and then gone onto HDR Efex Pro as the plugin, I have to use a restrained tone mapping in Affinity if I want to use HDR Efex Pro else things get a bit crazy with the colours..

You mean POG lol! no I just mentioned that for completeness i.e the options you get with that file. I'm not as daft as I look you know

Enjoy the free time.

The way I look at it, It may seem like a lot of money for an App (Desktop Edition) but You can easily make that money back. How long would it have taken you do the the same thing?

Miner.svg This took me 2 mins,1 mins 30 sec was removing the white background from all the fiddly spaces

Pretty neat tool eh!

This file: clipboard.eps was created by tracing this image from Pixabay I copied the preview image you see to keep it rasterised, I didn't download it because the downloads are PNG and SVG This is the same file exported from Vector Magic as an SVG: clipboard.svg

I use Vector Magic, its very good at some things

Are you Windows or Mac?

an example of the effect might be worth showing,

Why not use Copy and Paste? copy and paste cropping in designer pixel persona.mp4

I think that is a feature for the up and coming Affinity Publisher, but I can't find a way to create this formatting in Designer, maybe someone has a pseudo way or knows how to do this but I don't think its possible

Which app do you have or are going to use? You can add, remove or overlay on a JPEG. Using the Pen Tool will overlay any shapes or lines you create, you can rasterise the image once finished. I would make a copy of the JPEG and use that to work on so that you retain an untouched original should things not work out how you imagined. With the copy you can experiment to see if what you want to do will be viable. Simply open the copy JPEG and draw with the Pen Tool.

That's much better, take a look at this app RocketCave another one is Blue Griffon and also CoffeeCups HTML Editor As Friskel said it will never hurt to understand HTML and CSS and will make troubleshooting a lot easier. I suppose it's what you actually want to do, what websites you want to create, be it a simple flyer site (one or two pages with contact details), a blog, a selling site, a promo site or anything in-between.

Hi @sprite~1 There are quite a few apps around that will do what you need, a start would be to give some more info or add these details in a signature within your account settings so people don't have to ask over and over. So, things like Operating System(OS) etc helps so people can point you to apps compatible with your OS, System spec, so people can troubleshoot system issues, what affinity apps you have and maybe their version numbers. see my sig below this post for an idea. if you start a new post maybe put ADe for designer, APh for Photo at the start of the title e.g "(ADe) I have a pen tool issue"

I don't know whether this would help at all but I read a post about white balance below 2000K. HERE he made a small app as well.
