Some of my work with Designer 😀

Problem solved! Have a look at the new screenshot Walt.. Thanks for your help 😁

SOLVED ! Thank you😁

There are no brush options available in Designer Persona Ver 2 (see screenshot) The only way it worked was if I composed the file in Ver 1

Yes Marc, you are right, I'd make a lousy scientist ! But just to confirm, the test file created in V1 works fine in V2, but a new file doesn't, so no, the problem isn't solved 😒

No, new documents still have the same problem

Reinstalled V2, deleted non basic brushes, No Hardware Acceleration. Video 1 shows the making of the file in Ver 1 Video 2 shows that same file working okay in Designer Ver2. Thanks for your help.

In Ver 2 I don't have the option to use/access any brushes in Designer Persona. Hardware Acceleration was already off (Nvidia Qaudro K2200 card apparently not supported)

Sorry Walt, I didn't save the files, i could do it again. I don't have an option to use the brushes in V2 Designer Persona

Thanks for your reply, I have made 2 recordings (first time I have done this) hopefully they are okay. Affinity Designer 2023-01-29 08-44-20.mp4 Affinity Designer 2 2023-01-29 08-46-58.mp4

Hi, I have been using Designer V1 for years mainly for band posters and birthday cards for family etc, prior to using Designer I used Illustrator. For some reason when I try to add a textured border stroke to a shape it just won't apply. I can still do the same thing in Designer perfectly well, as I always have. There maybe a slightly different approach in V2, but I couldn't imagine why. I will attach a file from V1 to demonstrate what I'm trying to achieve in V2. Hope you can point me in the right direction Thanks Lindsay

No worries Mark, I shall have a look for it..

Thanks very much for your feedback everybody, at this point I haven't tried your suggestions, but hopefully will do soon, In the meantime I thought it might be a good idea to show a better example of how I used feather in Illustrator.... I like how the top layer blends with the bottom.. (this example was done very quickly, without much detail...) Thanks Lindsay

The one thing I miss the most from Illustrator is "Feather" (Effect/Stylize/Feather) I used it regularly, now I'm loving Designer and have been for quite some time, but would be over the moon to have that feature !

Thanks a lot !

Thanks you

Thank you !

Very Nice, Thanks :)
