Thank you, for checking it on Mac. It have to work like you are describing - same values applying. It is look like a windows version BUG.

Hmm, i don't agree - there is no logic. Even if i'll rasterize Curve layer and then will apply the same FX settings - it will look the same. What the problem to get and put exact the same correct values from one layer to another, even if they are in group? Why the RADIUS from 36px becomes 639,6px and SOFTEN value from 2px becomes 35,5px ? Source FX values are multiplied by the same value in destination layer FX, the value is 17,75 . Look at this - 2*17,75 = 35,5px and 36*17,75=639,6px. What an obstacles (software or hardware) to put 36px as 36px and to put 2px as 2px? I can still enter the requested FX values for the group manually - and it looks like it have to be - the same, as it looks for individual elements in group. The FX engine has the same functionality for group of layers, as for the single layer. It works with group and single layers without any limitations in FX functionality. The FX values must to be transferred from one object to another without any changes/distortions.

Still no clear answer about left type shadows, some call them STENCIL shadows - so is it possible to make it?

It took sometime, until i found what is wrong exactly For iPad version Affinity Designer and Affinity Photo the command PLACE IMAGE located in different menus - it is always confusing, as the interface also very similar. So for consistency i think would be better - to place this command in similar way.

I am not stating in any form, that my post is direct answer to your question. I just share my thoughts as others. Developers always looking for balance between stability and adding new features. Also there can be different definitions about bugfix/feature - somebody call it bug, somebody - feature Also the team could change their previous decisions or statements, when facing new trouble while trying to implement new features. It can depend from software engine itself (it structure, hardware limit) or by other reasons that will be found in near future. MattP post a message, that explain, i think, devs major slogan

Hello, friends. First of all i want to describe glitch. I have a design with two elements in one group. I make bevel FX adjustments to one of it. Then i copy one element with adjusted FX and then use for my group - Edit/Paste FX command. The settings for bevel FX are changed a lot and overall effect looks completely different. I dont check other FXs - it need to be checked additionally. SUGGESTION - why not to place Paste FX in drop down commands for the Layer tabs - as on my screenshot? It will be more handy and logical - where you work with FX, adjust, copy and paste them in one window ..... maybe )))

As for me, before implementing some extra super-duper features, devs are thinking to make stable all previous major things. And then connect other new functionality )))

In small dimensions 1500x1000 i have no slow effect. In 5000x3500 - it a bit appearing. 7500x5000 - significantly drop in speed. BUT in not simple depends on dimension - but on the brush size. As with greater dimensions i adjust the brush size also. I feel slow at 1000 px appr.

I test (earlier) some adjustments and make these ovals blurred a bit - it gives shiny look, and it is also look nice, but then switch blur off ))) But actually there a lot of FAKES here, and my goal is the main impression. Also there a lot of endless combinations - turn this ON, then turn this OFF and so on ))) So i decide to make STOP and release it to public

I am glad for Affinity team support, as they choose my work to be displayed on their Instagram - AFFINITY INSTAGRAM

Affinity team put my work on their Instagram - and that was a huge boost in my followers )))) So i was hurry to preparing my file for uploading.

I solve this issue, thank you for you help and assistance in advance )))

Finally it goes much easier. I just enter to the content of my one embedded layer - and change it. All other layers with the same content were updated. Ha-ha. Plain and easy. What i was looking for - but not heard about such feature. But i don't figure out - how to use embedded document as mask. I try to use - but making something wrong i think.

Yes, i need to replace layer content, as using smart objects in PS. I will look to the symbol tutorial Big thanks to all helpers !!!

For example - i have complex file with layers. Each layer has it is own set of effects and transparency settings - but the same content - some vector shape in curves or some word or logo. Then i wish to replace the object (shape in curves) in each layer - but want to replace in ones - and other dependencies also updates automatically. In the same manner there are templates made for use in Photoshop. What is the right name for this functionality and where i can read about this ?

The same lettering, but different impressions due to different background and colors.

John, you are right. The readability is not the main key. The main goal - overall impression, even when the text is full abracadabra )))

I just think, it could be any reason, not fonts only )))

Here is some of my lettering experiments in Affinity software.

Is it possible to create such types of shadows in AD or AP, as on the left example? Making some lettering design i feel some lack of such shadow solution.

I have almost 2000 fonts installed - feel no much difference in startup time, hmm.

At the current moment use haakoo suggestion about TIF conversion. Or use 24bit PNG (lower size with same quality as TIF) - anyway the problem is solvable, but the bug is persist, the similar issue was reported several hours ago with the same suggestion.

At my PC both versions 1.7.3.481 and 1.8.0.486 starting similar amount of time from HDD - appr. 13 seconds. Maybe it is due to some custom settings in beta?

As the file format is jpeg - it is a still image, is not it? What binary data you are talking about, i am confused I confirm crash on both versions - 1.7.3.481 and 1.8.0.486 If i convert it prior to PNG via Fastone or whatever - converted PNG opened without any issue. So for your case at current moment you can use PNG or any other losseless image format to process such jpegs in AP.
