    Please see the Common Feature Requests Index. There is a long thread discussing the need for a lighter user interface.

    Rename copies of your *.pdf files to *.ai and send them the renamed versions. They'll probably never know!

    Take a look at this thread. If you want to apply different adjustments to two different parts of a layer, make a copy of the layer and then clip the second adjustment layer to the layer below so that other layers are unaffected by the new adjustment. You should be able to invert a selection with ⌘I, but you need to go to the Layers tab and make sure that you've chosen the pixel layer rather than the adjustment layer.

    Affinity Designer is drawing app, not a website builder. You can design buttons and other web page elements, but AD will not generate HTML/CSS code for them. We have been told that no website builder is planned for the Affinity suite.

    It looks to me as though David clicked and dragged (but dragged too far) to highlight his earlier post for copying and pasting, instead of simply using the 'Share Post' icon in the top right-hand corner to create a link like this.
  6. Alfred
    Is that a rhetorical question, Ben? :P
  7. Alfred
    That's true, but I don't think this helps in all cases. For example, the fins on the right-hand side of the OP's drawing look as though they're bounded by vertical lines which aren't joined to anything; in the absence of a tool which automatically creates new shapes whose stroke is set to zero, it seems that the only option is to draw those shapes yourself as DWright has suggested.

    LOL. I assumed that the inclusion of the word "sweat" was a deliberate choice to indicate the amount of hard work you put into the project! Most definitely a sweet result, anyway. :)

    I don't think the OP is looking for an autotrace tool. It sounds to me as though what is required here is something like the Flood Tool that was a very welcome new feature in the last version of DrawPlus.
  10. Alfred
    It sounds as though you've grouped a set of objects ('Layer > Group', or ⌘G). With the group selected, choose 'Layer > Ungroup' or press Shift+⌘G to ungroup it.

    I only have Windows here, so I don't have the Affinity apps yet, but I suspect that the colours in Affinity Photo are background and foreground rather than stroke and fill. By the way, I see that drp.io destroys files every Sunday, so your reference image is going to disappear in four days' time. It would be better to use the attachments facility (via 'More Reply Options' or 'Use Full Editor').

    Even Serif's very own DrawPlus has a Spiral Tool, although it wasn't implemented until the next to last version of the program.
  13. Alfred
    Thanks, Matt. Yes, that makes perfect sense. (Don't worry. I'm not about to buy an iPad Air 2 on the the off-chance that it might be able to run the iOS versions of the Affinity apps when they become available!)
  14. Alfred
    Does "at least" mean that you hope to support earlier iPad models such as the Air 2? The A8X chipset obviously isn't as capable as the A9X that you get in an iPad Pro, but I've no idea whether that would be enough to seriously affect the usability of the Affinity apps on the lower spec machine.
  15. Alfred
    In that case, the PDF app would not be opening the native files of the other apps in the suite. As I see it, the ability to do this is central to the whole concept of Affinity. I'm inclined to agree with that. I like and use PDF-XChange Editor from Tracker Software. :)
  16. Alfred
    Tutorials I dislike, regardless of the speed, are the ones with plenty of talking that you can't hear properly because of the 2000BPM techno music in the background!
  17. Alfred
    This doesn't sound like something that could be part of the Affinity suite. How would a PDF app open Designer, Photo or Publisher files?
  18. Alfred
    Zendor is a PostScript Type 1 font. All of the others (including Euclid, which is described as Type 1 in the text on the page) are CID-keyed TrueType fonts. I don't understand the references to 'Type FontSuitcase', 'Type TTC' and 'Type dfont'. TTC files are TrueType Collections (i.e. archives of TTF fonts).
  19. Alfred
    Can you attach a sample PDF file here?
  20. Alfred
    LOL. :D
  21. Alfred
    If the image needs to be reopened when you change to the other Raw engine, it would be helpful if it were reopened automagically.
  22. Alfred
    I'd like to see this too. I hope we don't have to wait twenty years for it, like we did for DrawPlus!
  23. Alfred
    I disagree. The other thread is about a feature request for seamless vector patterns. This thread is about testing seamless pattern designs. Forums are fine for feature requests, as long as you have a 'sticky' thread where nothing but requests are posted, with discussion of those requests being posted elsewhere.
  24. Alfred
    PP3.0 was the first version of PagePlus that I used. I also had (and probably still have, somewhere!) DrawPlus 2.0. I've been using most of Serif's range of software products for Windows ever since then. Although I've been a member of the Affinity forum for about a year, I only started to post here a few days ago after the forthcoming availability of Affinity for Windows was announced. The temptation to buy a MacBook Pro is not quite as strong as it was before the announcement, but it's still there!

    How could proportions be restricted if a crop is unconstrained? I've probably misunderstood what you're suggesting here.
