If you type control+shift+R into the box I bet it will stop you in 1.7. It will probably work in 1.6
-
It turns out something else is interfering which is what I would have guessed. Probably a new 1.7 feature has taken that shortcut.
There might be some other shortcut for develop in 1.6 Windows since Windows doesn't have a command key.
-
I used to use a shortcut to get into the develop persona (command+shift+d ?) but it doesn't seem to be working anymore. Did that go away?

Otherwise find online a texture and use this as overlay to get the effect
This works too, I just need to find the texture to overlay the image with.

I have heard photocopiers can be good to get this technique as well. Another student I was doing this assignment with used the photocopier to warp text by moving the text as it was copying. It was a pretty neat effect!

I look into it. If I had a decent selection of filters to pick from I probably wouldn't need Photoshop any more.

The nice thing about computers though is that they give you some control over to what degree you want to apply an effect which is nice. The old tech way I am sure could bring up different great results.

I can see halftone being used at some point. I don't think I would describe the images as low quality in the same way a low res image would be. With this album cover you have the text that has been spray painted on top scratched at bottom with an image that is leaving out just the amount of detail that the designer decided on in a filter. I know I talked about newspaper in the title of this topic but I should have said I am trying to find an assortment of dirty looking filter / effects that can be combined in several collages across the project. Just wondering too, are there third filters available for Affinity?

Affinity on Mac and PS plugins are a bit more temperamental.
I wonder why that is? I would be nice to do more plug-in/filter work with Affinity.
That is a pretty neat magazine effect. The main look I am going is for a punk rock styled book (here is a few pages.) Basically I am just trying to make the images more rough looking whether that be through newsprint or other techniques.

That menu item is where you see any Photoshop plugins you have installed in Preferences > Photoshop Plugins that are properly installed & compatible with Affinity Photo.
Are there instructions for how to properly install the PS filters into Affinity? I couldn’t find how to do that under preferences. I assume that is a way to search for Photoshops filter folder?

I never knew you could get similar effects just by using adjustment layers! I’ll have to try experimenting with that. I am doing an assortment of collages using about five different filters. I wonder how much can be done with adjustment layers?
-
It seems like there would just be a way to add filters in the menu? I noticed that at the bottom of the Filters menu is a menu item call plugins, I would think that is where you add additional filters that are not installed by default?
-
I have been doing projects in Photoshop that use a newsprint style filter like the one shown below but I was wondering if someone could tell me where I can go to get these type of filters that work with Affinity? Also can Photoshop filters be brought across?
-
The file is too large to post here but I noticed that as I shrunk the file down the problem went away. The original file was 1200 dpi.
-
The inpainting tool also has this same problem in the photo persona.
-
This is only happening with one photo.The cursor shows up when it is over the toolbar area and below the workspace but not when it is over the work area.
-
By the way does the developer personal still have a shortcut to get to it?
-
Red eye tool seems to be working fine in the photo persona.
-
I am getting this problem when I try to aply red eye in the develop persona. It doesn't always happen but it almost seems to be deleting part of the image as it shows the checker pattern.
-
The toggle preview button is now showing up for me in this build. Is the new shortcut so that windows users won't confuse it with the close shortcut? It seems like the new fnF10 one should probably work fine.
-
I just downloaded it last night (all three apps.)
-
I am still not getting that even though I reset those tools you told me about. It's not under "customize toolbar" either.
-
I don't see an icon on the toolbar but I got the shortcut and menu item to work. What does the icon look like?

- Added 'Preview Mode' to the main toolbar. Will only be visible after 'Clear User Defaults'
I can't get this to work, where is "Clear User Defaults?" Would really like to try preview mode.

Is there a reason for this thread to remain pinned?
It seemed like there were still some issues with picas that were being ironed out? That is the only reason I can think of.
-
I am glad I was able to find a way to make this work but I hope this doesn't keep happening in the future. It takes time to have to reset all the individual letters. I hope the developers can fix whatever happened so I don't need to reset all the letter spacing.

I suspect this is an iPad question, in which case it should be in the iPad forum section, not here.
I have never owned an iPad just Macs with modern operating systems.

Affinity asked to download some fonts before opening this file but I am not sure why. I can't remember if I mentioned this but this file used to work fine for over a year.
I just found out if I type some new text and change it to HanziPen SC it works! But there is no way I can change that existing text over which means I have to go back and redo the spacing. You can see in the screen shot I typed it out on the pasteboard. In case anyone was wondering this was a school project where I had to convey the opposite of an emotion with text which is what I thought HanziPen represents. The one on the black background was the type I used to convey grief.

What sort of settings do you have for Styles (Paragraph &/or Characters)? Sometimes they get applied by accident.
Set to none for both the character and paragraph styles.
6 hours ago, firstdefence said:Clearer screenshots would help?
Which app are you in?
Which Operating System are you using?
HanziPen SC is an iOS font, is this a downloaded font?
Affinity Designer, originally done on a Sierra machine now on High Sierra. I can't remember how I obtained the font.
1 hour ago, R C-R said:Specifically, it shows that it is present in Font Book, which means it is present on his Mac. But because we can't see the second column of Font Book in his screenshot, we don't know if it is enabled or disabled (labeled "Off" in the 2nd column).
So we are still left guessing about that.
I attached the full Font Book screen shot.
Is there still a shortcut for the develop persona on 1.7?

I must have forgotten about adding that shortcut. Going to the develop persona is usually the first thing I do so it made sense to set it up that way.
