Very volumetric !!!

Don't ask me, why I am "burning" CACTUS Because I have no answer, but i include both versions, fire effect with and fire free. Let it snow, let it snow, let it ... burn

Here is some of my lettering experiments in Affinity software.

Cute bear for sure )))

Фактический сброс происходит, то есть ты нажал и оно сбросило. Ну если говорить о практической составляющей, лично я больше воспринимаю как фичу, так как особых затруднений в реальной эксплуатации кистей в повседневной обработке это не несёт. Может они как-то и заменят или преобразуют это, разделив на два раздельных значения - применительно к слою, на котором работаешь и применительно к кисти, активной в данный момент - то есть будут отображать две пары значений возможно. На данный момент это особенность не конкретной кисти, а самого подхода к этому нюансу в движке.

Я поставил режим Paint Mixer Brush - я устанавливаю произвольный оттенок, щелкаю по слоям - он не сбрасывается. Потом меняю его местами с контуром - опять он не сбрасывается. Но если я делаю сброс до прочерков, как у тебя - он заменяется как и в обычной кисти на два белых кружка. И так для всей серии кистей. И в этом режиме обычная кисть ничего не рисует, как и было задумано, пока я не укажу явно цвет.

То есть когда у меня выделен инструмент пикер и я щелкаю по слоям - я вижу преднастройку по слоям. А когда выделяю кисть, тогда при нажатии на каждый слой показывает привязку к текущей кисти. То есть если ты в режиме кисти сбросишь эти настройки, то при щелкании на каждом слое будет одна и та же картина, пока ты в режиме кисти. И кружки с перечеркнутой линией в режиме кисти будут автоматом заменяться на белый цвет, так как рисовать пустотой кистью программа не будет :))))

Я выбираю разные слои и на разных слоях у меня разные значения заливки и контура. При том что инструмент при этом я не меняю.

Ты выбираешь другой слой и там отображаются преднастройки для этого слоя - цвет заливки и цвет контура. А что именно не так?

I upload short PDF tips and tricks manual about ORIGINAL - link is here MY IG POST WITH LINK

1. 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. 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. Hmm, 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 i think )))

Ohh, sorry for duplicate, sir )))

Good advice, i repost it in BUG section, thank you ! I receive answer " The Paste FX behaviour is a known issue/bug that's already logged to be looked at. "

It will be more handy and logical - where you work with FX, adjust, copy and paste them in one window ..... maybe )))

Here is my example, that illustrates, what i was talking in previous ENGINE post. This is very useful and unique feature ))) Thank you, Affinity team ! P.S. Click to picture (you see just big thumbnail in my post) and look to it at 100% zoom to evaluate actual difference.

Keep going, Fred - thank you

Nice work !!!

This time i decide to reproduce NEON effect in Affinity Designer. All elements are from vector. Only background is a bitmap. I found interesting thing. My file dimension is 1080px square. And after applying intensive FX - some image areas looks harsh. What i found to solve this issue - during export i enter resolution 3240px square - 3x per side bigger. And then open exported image and downscale it back to 1080 px square as i need. And it looks MUCH better . P.S. I use lanczos separable

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?

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.

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.
