Hallo,
bei Adobe Fireworks gab es immer ein tolles Feature, das ich regelmäßig genutzt habe.
Hier kann man die Arbeitsfläche an den Inhalt anpassen.In Affinity Designer 2 konnte ich diese Funktion nicht finden. Ich könnte jetzt ein Artboard über den Bereich ziehen, aber im Export dann zu SVG z.B. wird das irgendwie nicht berücksichtigt.
Es ist immer ein Rand bei der SVG Grafik nach dem Export. Wie kann ich das unterbinden? Im Exportdialog ist hierzu nichts zu finden.
Selbst wenn ich "nur Auswahl" exportiere, ist ein Rand im Endresultat.Nun habe ich die Hoffnung, dass ich mit einer Funktion "Leinwand anpassen" evtl. den Rand im Export wegbekomme. 🤷♂️
Ich glaube im Affinity Photo gibt es sowas unter Dokument... aber in Designer finde ich hierzu nichts.
Danke für einen Tipp
Gruß

Hello Callum,

It´s very burdensome to make a Text look like a Bow or Fisheye with selcting each node of a letter.

Hello,
how can I transform, blowup, shrink, bend , bow etc. Text in Designer? In Illustrator there you can find it unter Effects->Warp
Thanks for any hint.

Ah, ok I will try it so.
Thanks PixelPes & Carl.
Anyway.... if I merge something, it will be not editable longer? Correct?

Hi Lee,
I select the target layer and prepare the perspective layer. Switch to the flat view, then I click the grafic text tool and start to write. After I switch back to original view, the text is´nt perspective.
Tried also to select the target layer, prepare the perpective layer and insert per cut and paste the grafic text layer which I have created befor. Same result. -
Hello,
I just tried to write with Grafic text into a perspective Layer. Regrettably it does not work :-( Is this not possible?
When I place the perspective layer and take the grafic Text tool I can write into the Layer but it is´nt perpective after I switch back to the normal view.
How could I make this?
Cheers

ok, thank you! Now it´s clear. Thought that all parameter must be set in the dialog of the Pathname window :-D
-
mhhh may I´m blind :-(
the default entries like 1x 2x 3x etc. in the first dropdown means 2 ore 3 time bigger than the original size?
But wahts about the dialog of the pathname? How must I define the size which I want? Works "w" and "h" also in german version or do I need "b" and "h"?
Who must I note the dimension in this dialog?
-
that's clear and if a preset not saved global, no problem. But how can I export 3 different sizes (dimensions) of a layer or image?
For example I need from the original dimension 64 x 64, also 48 x 48 and 16 x 16 pixel as well. I understand how I can export different file type inone batch but how different dimensions of the same file type?

Hi GabrielM,
I had already watched those Vidoes (some 4 times), but there are never shown how I could set a specific export dimension and label it for later use. I know it is possible, but how?
Cheers

Hello,
I´m not clear with the Export dialog. I like to export an Image or Slice in several Dimensions. For example the initial Slice has a 64px X 64px dimension and I like also 32px X 32px and also 16px X 16px.
Where can I set this otions and save it as Set to select them later again? I the attached dialog I can see the Variables and can drop them above in the path component, but how can I set the needed dimensions and Label? Is there a special dialog where I could set all of this and delete dimensions which are not longer needed?
Thanks for any hint

Here's what i meant regarding the crosshair:
Ahhh OK, it was my fault. I have tried to move a quite small checkbox and the cross hair could´nt placed to the line between the noge. After I zoomed in, it works

Thanks a lot.Cheers

Juts a one note to add that you can set a shortcut for the Edit in Affinity Photo/Designer command in Affinity Preferences to speed up switching the document between apps.
OK I will try this. And what´s about the cross hair behavior? May there is a option which I must activate to move instead to draw with cross hair?

Hi Markus,
Regarding questions 2: Go to File ▸ Document Setup... and set the new dimensions you want (this only works for non-artboard based documents). Alternatively, select the Artboard Tool, press the Insert Artboard button on the context toolbar to convert an existing non-artboard based document (canvas) into an artboard. You can then drag the boundaries of the artboard with the Artboard Tool or with the Move Tool - make sure the artboard layer is selected in the Layers panel - and in the case of the Move Tool also make sure that Lock Children is ticked in the context toolbar (which should be by default).Regarding question 3: Place the cursor over the bounding box of the object you just draw (not over the handles). The cursor should change to a cross hair and enable you to move the object.
Hello MEB,
thanks for your reply.
to 2. OK so I will use Artboards in Designer and "Document -> Canvas resize" in Photo for that. Cause in Designer are no Filters like in Photo but I can work in both tools at the same time by sending the file into each other, will the file be synchronized when I use a filter in Photo and switch back to the same file in Designer?to 3. I can see the cross hair, but I can´t move the drawed object. It just drawing again and again when I try to move it with left mouse button.
Cheers

- What do you mean by Export Preview? Neither Photo nor Designer allows any html coding, so what you see on the canvas will be what you get in the export. We have got a dedicated Export Persona for this purpose.
-
After you unlock it, you choose the Move Tool - V and you can resize it on the canvas. To add a new layer, you go to Layer > New or you click on the New Pixel layer icon .
- You can move the object after you created it by moving the cursor next to an edge. This will become the "move" tool and you can move the object. But there is no shortcut.
Hello Gabe, thanks for your reply.
to 1. I think this questions is answered by MEB. I don´t need html code, I appreciate the preview windows in Fireworks. You can see the final result in two windows with the elected export parameters. FW shows even 4 previews with different .jpg compressions for example an this is very handy.
to 2. OK that noticed, but when I open a image, for example this is 500 x 300 px, but i like to add something to this image, so I have to resize the canvas. When I only move the Image, I will hide something cause the canvas is´nt greater than the image. In FW I can click a button: Resize canvas to objects and so the canvas will resized automatically to fit all objects in the file. Sorry, it´s a bitt difficult to describe in englisch for me :-(
to 3. when I draw a object.. for example rectangular, I can see only the touchpoints to transform it. There is no area where I could move it. Only after I select the move tool it works. So it would be nice if I could move it without to select the move tool.
Cheers

Hello,
I have some questions about Designer and Photo and hope you can help me.
1. Currently I use Adobe Fireworks for my Webwork. So sometimes I need more Path tools and sometimes I need more Photo Filters for enhancing colors etc.
What would be the best replacement for Fireworks? Regrettably, both tools have no Export preview like Fireworks, may it comes in an later Version?! At current, Fireworks has the best export compression on all filetype and this is very ineressting in image work for web. In the Designer I have´nt found Filters like in Photo. I´m sure that a preview would be very helpful not only for web image work.2. when I open a image in Photo and open the lock symbol in the background layer (Panel), how can I change the size ob the canvas? Do I have to add another layer? How can I change the layer size then?
3. Is there a short cut to draw a object and move them instantly on the canvas without to select the move tool? Like moving the canvas with SPACE + left Mouse. Drawing the Object and move them immediately with SHIFT + left Mouse.... for example.
Thanks for any hint!
Cheers
Markus




Artboard oder Dokument an Inhalt anpassen
in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Posted
Das Artboard habe ich soweit es ging einfach selbst gezogen.
Gibt es eine Funktion die das Artboard an den Inhalt anpasst?
Gibt es eine Funktion die die Arbeitsfläche an den Inhalt anpasst?
Den Rand (sah) ich noch in Corel Gravity Tool.
Wegbekommen, habe ich ihn mit dem Hinweis von NathanC bzgl. der Viewbox setzen" Funktion.
Aber das anpassen der Flächen würde mich schon sehr interessieren ob das so einfach geht.
Danke udn Gruß
