I am sort of getting right. It appears that I must even convert text to curves. Then they work. Or mostly.

I have solved the problem partially. I could not manage to save a style from text with effects added. However I made a curved layer and added everything to that and from that I could successfully saved the style and it is working. I downloaded a psd with gel effect, but I could not successfully save it as a style, but I saved the psd as a affinity file, closed it and opened it anew. I have written down all the parameters of each effect and did the process manually. It took long and I came close to what I had in the psd, but not exactly. Close enough. So I guess I will have to convert what I want from version 1 files manually to get it in V2.

I have tried to remake them. I have placed an image as a curve and when I save a style as a selected layer it works for the colour, but no fx.

I have imported all my resources when I installed version 2 of Affinity Photo on my desktop. One or two styles did not migrate and I exported and imported them manually. I have a list of 10 styles cathegories, with their various styles incuded, which are not working in Photo 2. 8 Of them migrated. I am using it mainly for text when I design the cover pages of my books. The ones not working is either having no effect or it changes the font and font size only. All the fx are not there. I have tested them again, and all are still working in Photo 1. I have enabled smart PSD import. I have tried again to open a gel effect PSD text file. It shows perfectly with all the effexts, but if I save a style and it appears in the list of styles, it is not working. I include a file containing some of my styles that I saved in V1, which are not working in V2. JC.afstyles

I had to edit an aerial photograph of a parking area, full of cars. I needed an empty car park. The paving area is textured. I pasted a polygon with the place command. I was in a hurry to do the presentation. What is the easiest wat to copy from the clean part of the image and paste the picked part to another are on the same image? I am not very fond of the way to export and place as new image.

I mean New from Clipboad. It gives the old original clipboard image over and over.

Yes, I selected something after I used the selction tool, selected by pressing Control + C and then paste from clipboard. It pasted the previous copy. Tried it several times. It even did the same when I tried to copy three layers over to another image.

I have noticed weird behaviour after the latest update in Affinity Photo. New from clipboard only works once. I can copy something new, but copy from clipboard will now paste the first copy. I cannot coppy even layers to another photo, same thing happen. It worked perfectly until latest update. I am sometimes able to clear the issue by closing all images and start afresh. Will a clipboard clearing app help?

I managed to solve the problem. I reinstalled. working now as required.

Affinity Photo is super super slow after updated to 1.91. I am going back to 1.9. I will first wait a day or two to make shure it is not a memory glitch. My laptop is relative fast.

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.

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.

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 have no idea how it works. On grounds of you guys, I just bought it. Only the iPad version. I have Photo for PC and iPad, and if it is half as good as I expext, I know it wil works wonders.

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?

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.

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.

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.
