Thanks for all the suggestions. I will try the perspective and Mesh warp options and see how far I can correct it. I felt that if Serif provides a z-plane correction capability, it will be great. Maybe, I am oversimplifying it. I took several images of buildings in Europe this summer and I see this as a problem. When you capture landscapes, it is not an issue.

I use a Canon T7i camera with the 10-18 wide angle lens. I use Photo 2.3 for post processing. I shoot RAW. Some of my recent images of buildings have a z-axis tilt which I cannot correct even if I use the Lens correction with Vertical option at -100%. Is there a way to correct this tilt? I have attached a JPG image.

I found the workaround, thanks to Rory Townsend on YT. Use curved text, but replace text with the rectangle.

I am doing a simple rocket design using affinity Designer 1.9. The body of the rocket has curved lines (black) and also has tiny rectangles at equal distance from the curve (grey). While you can create rectangles and manually place them, it may not be accurate. Is there an easy way to align the bottom of the grey rectangles to the black curve next to it? This is kind of curved text but the curving object is not text but another object like a rectangle.

I second that. I dont like the pixelated patterns in Photo.

I have a requirement from my client, who is in the publishing business to create dynamic images as follows. With Aff Photo, is it possible to meet this requirement? Requirement - parameter driven image generation. Parameters: Author name, category, Translator name, Article title, custom image With the exception of the custom image the rest of the parametric data is text (though it will be in Tamil, which AP is very bad at supporting). The image itself is a JPG file name Is it possible to write a AP macro to generate the composite image with standard placement of the text on the parametric image and create a new output image? This will cut down tedious work and improve productivity.

I use both Affinity Designer and Photo and I tried to create a greeting for the Tamil festival Pongal with Affinity Designer. I am a writer in Tamil and use the truetype font called 'Latha' for most of my writing. I also have another truetype font called 'Vijaya'. When I tried to type the word 'Pongal' in Tamil in both these fonts, it has problems rendering it, both in Designer and Photo. I went through Designer's character options and tried to change quite a few of those parameters and still do not seem to solve the problem. The sound 'Po' is a single letter in Tamil but appears like three English alphabets - While all other Windows tools render these three characters (extended ASCII) properly, Affinity interchanges the second and third character. I have attached an image that shows the wrong Affinity versions. Let me know, if there is a workaround for this. The below is the wrong representation by Affinity. பொங்கல் The above is the right representation of the word Pongal.

I took my stereo Denon and recreated its amplifier with knobs, displays, legs, ports, LEDs, grills (that was the hardest) in Affinity Designer.

I created 3d art with Affinity Designer vector shapes and created this isometric with transformations, this art. It shows several planes at work together. Here is the JPG image. I can share the designer file, on request.

There are websites that offer brushes with .abr extension. How can you tell if the brush being offered is a vector brush or a raster brush? I downloaded a few and all of them turned out to be raster brushes which do not scale. I am a new AD user and I have 1.8.5 for Windows.

It was the stabilizer. When I turned that off, it became OK. Thanks carl123.

I turned off 'Show brush previews' and that made no difference. When I release the mouse button, the stick like object disappears. Not sure how I can send you a screen capture.

I have used Affinity Photo for a while and noticed that recently the Paintbrush tool behaves differently. When I select a color and start painting over a layer, the cursor changes to a stick like object and this makes it confusing for me on where I have painted and where I haven't. Is there some setting that I accidentally set to a different value?

Thanks firstdefence. That works perfectly. I agree that I over complicated things. Thanks for your recommendation.

I am thinking of creating a sort of collage of images in an Affinity document. I need three columns with separation lines. I want to ensure that I can use a standard Affinity template and just place three images in the appropriate place and move them around so that they look good together. I want the image to be visible in one column only. I used rectangles and created mask layers under them. However, this does not seem to be fool proof and I run into issues with the center column invariably. Also, I lose the column border. I have attached the afphoto file. Can you suggest a better method to do this? EMW.afphoto
