That's the one! Thanks Garry! S

How do I keep objects selected after creation? Normally when I draw a line/square/shape - it remains slected, allowed you to change colour, stroke etc. Not sure what preference is – I must have turned it off. When I create a vector shape now, it automatically deslects – which is a pain! Help appreciated. S

I was struggling with this for several days and final found the solution. I had a series of brush strokes that were becoming pixelated on export (PDF). I had tried several things but couldn't figure out what was going on. I finally found an additional setting in the "more" that had rasterization turned on by default – choose "nothing" and the problem is solved. Thought I'd post the solution for anyone else having issues. S

IS this for a Windows install? I'm running Mac OS S

Monitoring the memory usage – it sucks up every MB in an attempt to load up before crashing. S

HI Dan, no the app doesn't load sufficiently enough to check that. I get about 2 seconds of the welcome screen, and then it crashes. Any ideas?? S

This has just started happening. Click the Designer Icon – gets as far as the welswelsomeome screen/panel then crashes. Running OS Catalina 10.15.7 Any ideas? S Crash report atached. Affinity Design crash report.rtf

For info: Support (Yellow Images) have asked me to send them the links before download/buy - they'll check in advance whether the source file is compatible with AP.

@MEB Do you know what these are specifically. Yellow Images have agreed to look at files that are compatible with AP for me if I send them

@MEB Yellow Images got back to me. "it contains special 3D elements that you can work with only in Adobe Photoshop CC 2015 – CC 2019 versions, so I'm afraid it won't work with Affinity" Not quite sure what those could be.

@MEB the .psd file that has no embedded layers https://yellowimages.com/stock/women-39s-crop-top-mockup-53530 the .tif with the embedded layers https://yellowimages.com/stock/women-39s-baggy-t-shirt-mockup-45760 It could simply be a rogue - but I've tried other .tif files and they are all editable/smart. S

@MEB - I'm using 2 of the files they provide free. One in .psd format and the other in .tif format. I can upload them (250mb) or provide you the link where you can download them from the Yellow Images site? S

I've encountered a problem when using the free downloads in Yellow Images to practise with Affinity Photo. .tif files preserve the Smart Objects correctly - these are labelled as "embedded documents" in affinity when opened. These can be edited in affinity and work quite well. .psd files don't translate Smart Objects and the ability to edit the layers/smart objects is lost - layers aren't smart. Am I doing something wrong? (Smart layer conversion turned on)

Only 2 fonts and a few variants. Part of my standard use - used them countless times. I'll just have to go through them and eliminate which one is giving trouble. S

Converted text to paths - seems to have fixed it. But still…

Hi, any idea what could be causing this? It's all vector art - no images. Text not converted to paths (yet) I can export to PNG - throws up the odd error when exporting to JPG but eventually went through. Thanks in advance. S

Open app. Set margins, bleed, colour etc. Hit OK. Attempt to drag a master into the "pages" pane. Crashes every time. Beta: 1.7.0.270 on a MacBook Pro.

D, the file just must have been corrupted. It got worse and worse - to the point that each time I did a save the whole App crashed. I've just deleted the file and will start again. S

Hi, on 1 particular document I have a series of Artboards. I can't select items from separate Artboards without first either clicking on the layer OR the name of the Artboard at the top of the page. Don't have this issue on any other document. Is it a setting or just a bug? Thanks in advance. S

Just got a response from Yellow Images: That's that cleared up. Is support for "Smart Objects" on the to-do list? Thanks again. S

Just a quick check to see if the PSD templtes provided by yellowimages.com are compatible with Affinity Photo/Designer? Thanks in advance. S

Got it… open path. Good man MEB.

Any word of that "knife tool" MEB?

I'll check that - looks all closed up but that would explain it.

A selection of circles, divided - a few lines added, then joined end points (knife tool anyone?) Works fine when simple combining a number of simple shapes shapes - but possibly the direction of the curves are different for each part? That might be the problem? S
