Thank you MEB! I will try sending them the info in a pdf format, but most insist on AI. I would think it's a simple save for them, but people will be people! Thanks again!
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.

As an unrelated aside, why do you sometimes include the Like This, Quote, & other web site links in your posts? (They just generate permissions errors, so they are of no use to us.)
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. -
Is that a bug, Oval?
Is that a rhetorical question, Ben? :P

sholla,
I don't know if this helps but shapes do not have to be closed to be filled. For open shapes, the edge of the fill will extend in a straight line between the two end points. So for example, a V shaped stroke would fill with a triangle of color, even though it has an open end.
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.

Oh the irony of not asking for typos to be called out when I tittle the hole thread "Sweat" rather than "Sweet" thats the second time and last time I will make that typo ;)
Mmmmm who wants a sweaty leaflet?
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. :)

At the moment AD does not have an autotrace tool
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.
-
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').

Hi Alfred :)
You're right that the 'at least' was very deliberate - we hope to support as many variants as possible, but what we're trying to achieve is difficult given the restrictions of the devices and their various architectures. The iPad Air 2 seems to be showing good performance characteristics at the moment. My slight reluctance to commit to specifics at this stage is that we haven't completely finished everything and until we do it's difficult to guarantee anything - I don't want people to all rush out and buy something and then for the next day we find out that it won't work as well as we'd like and then they have something they wouldn't have otherwise bought!
Hope that makes sense,
Matt
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!)
-
We definitely plan to support at least both variants of iPad Pro.
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.

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?
By exporting Affinity document into PDF maybe? :)
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.
My motto is: "Less Adobe apps, more joy".
I'm inclined to agree with that. I like and use PDF-XChange Editor from Tracker Software. :)

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).

Can you attach a sample PDF file here?

Could you please add a button that will crash AD at the end of our session
LOL. :D

Hi hspeterpanhs,
Welcome to Affinity Forums :)
That's because other RAW converters clip off some of the data that camera manufacturers think may be unreliable. The Serif Labs RAW engine keep that data thus the additional pixels you're seeing. If you change to the Apple (Core Image RAW) instead in menu View ▸ Assistant Manager... (with a RAW image opened), you will get the same dimensions as the other RAW engines. You will need to reopen the RAW image for the new setting take effect.
If the image needs to be reopened when you change to the other Raw engine, it would be helpful if it were reopened automagically.

I'd like to see this too. I hope we don't have to wait twenty years for it, like we did for DrawPlus!

You misunderstood it, this topic is about a feature request for seamless vector patterns, not about your video!
This topic should be merged with this other one.
Forums are a real crummy place for feature requests.
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.

My favourite was V3 which I think had a tiger on the CD
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.
