Styles icon question
Johan Crous replied to Johan Crous's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (Mac and Windows)
Problem solved. I went to effects and just moved the slider of 3D, the radius slider and save the image. I just deleted the style and saved it again. It is then displaing the icon correctly. -
Styles icon question
Johan Crous replied to Johan Crous's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (Mac and Windows)
MEB, I have uploaded the psd file. I have opened the file in AP and in the layers panel, I have chosen Orange to save as a style. I renamed the preset as Peach. The name is there, but no preview image. It however works like a charm. I would like to save the other colours as well. -
I have loaded a psd file of a gel text in Affinity Photo Desktop 1.7.2. I have saved the style and got a blank icon. There is not the usual gear with colour. I have renamed it to recognise it again. So I see the name in styles, but there is no image. When I apply it, it works perfectly and do what I want. Is there a way to manually load an icon on somewhere to rectify the problem? The styles I previously saved as such, display an icon.

I am a user of ViaCAD 11 Pro as well as the Affinity trio. I always get the display message that Via CAD has reverted to Windows 7 basic colour scheme when I stat Via CAD. Affinity Photo and the beta refuse to start while ViaCad is open. It prompts me that Windows Aero is needed. I have no idea what it is. So now, i have to use some other program when I am working with ViaCad to save the captured screenshots.

Thanks, I will investigate. -
Affinity Designer for iPad scaling to dimensions.
Johan Crous replied to Johan Crous's topic in Affinity on iPad Questions
Yes, I include the url for you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDZONrrCh64 I only want to draw cut lines for printing to the correct size on an ordinary A4 paper printer. -
I am new to Affinity Designer. I just managed to get to work comfortly with Affinity Photo on PC. I have it since November. The Photo for iPad, I purchased about six weeks ago (when I purchased an iPad) and I manage. It is not so much different if you know Android. However, it was a learning process the learn how iOs operates. I purchased the iPad Designer a few days ago and I am trying to get my feet wet. I recently watched a video from Ian Atkinson, using Adobe Illustrate, where he place a camera photo (of a knife) on a document. He measured the length of the knife and then used a command where he states that measurement between two points. AI then scaled the document correctly. I assume he must specify somewhere what the paper size will be. He then draws outlines for his leather cut list to make a pouch and accurately prints them. Can this be done in Designer for iPad, or must I make two points, print and then calculates on what scale I must print and reprint? I can also start a template with the right dimensions and place a ruler image as a layer and then scale the object according to the ruler?

I will play with all the info I got. Thank you guys.

With the flip command, all layers flipped. I will try again.
-
I noticed that if I make a selection or if I select a layer, everything reacts to a flip command. Is it possible to flip something selected and not everything.

In the PC desktop version of Affinity Photo I can customize the left hand side by choosing which buttons appear and which not. Can it be done in Affinity Photo for iPad? Alternatively, can a script be recorded and a button added to it interactively and moved to the left side?

Jpg export garbage, so disappointed...
Johan Crous replied to Inlancewetrust's topic in Affinity on iPad Questions
I am mostly using Affinity Photo, although I have Photoshop CS6 and Paintshop Pro 2018. I export my affinity photos to Jpg for my web page. I am an author and post my book cover pages. I only get a little larger size if I prefer the size to be big. The quality is exceptional. I can define dpi as well. I can assure you Affinity Photo do not have to back down for other apps. -
Fading edge on selection/crop seeked
Johan Crous replied to Johan Crous's topic in Affinity on iPad Questions
GabrielM, it is working. In the iPad version I made the sellection and nothing happened apart from the sellection ellips appearing. So I canged back to ordinary persona, select Paste boards, copy, and new pixel layer, sellect the layer, back to Paste boards and paste. Then it is there. I need the edge to be about five times wider, the section where the sellection fades to transparent. The biggest edge effect is with feathering at 7.5, but I guess the image pixel size is the determining factor. -
Fading edge on selection/crop seeked
Johan Crous replied to Johan Crous's topic in Affinity on iPad Questions
It did not work as I wanted. I then tried duplicating a layer and applied a mask to it. I inverted it and draw what i needed wit a very large blush widt and a 1% hardness. It worked as I needed. -
Fading edge on selection/crop seeked
Johan Crous replied to Johan Crous's topic in Affinity on iPad Questions
Thank you GabrielM, I wil give it a try. -
I am not shure if I am using the correct terminology. I want to make a ellipse selection of a person's face and paste it as a new layer over another background. I want the elipse sellection's edge to fade to nothing on the edges, as wide as a pencil (1/4 inch). Almost like a vignette, but it fades to transparent nothing.
-
Thanks. I have not tried that, only long press.

I have edited a few photographs now. As a new iPad user of Affinity Photo, I realised it works a bit different than the desktop version for windows. I could not manage to select more than one layer in the layer window. How do you do it?

Perspective correction tool missing in iPad version?
Johan Crous replied to Johan Crous's topic in Affinity on iPad Questions
R C-R, I have not done it myself on the iPad yet, but this is how I would approach it: I would create a new document that is greater than the picture you would like to edit. I will place the pic in question over that as a new layer, On the right hand side I would go to the funnel icon and about a third from the bottom is the perspective. I wil drw the top two corners wider until the perspective is correc, Merge and crop. There is the right way I know, but I have not yet tried it. Go to the help section. I think it is in one of the tutorials. What I like about affinity, is that you can achieve the end results in various ways quite often. -

I just purchased the iPad version of Affinity Photo for my iPad Pro 10.5. As an author I make several mockup images of 3D paperback boks for web pages. I have a standard photograph of a paperback book and place the front page image (2D flat image) as a layer on top. I then use the perspecrive tool and align the four cornes of the front page image with the four corners of the book. I then flatten the image and I have a new image of a book. In the iPad version, I do not find the perspective tool. How can I achieve my goal?
