I am having an issue with masks not behaving the way I'm expecting during export. Not sure if it's a AD issue or a me issue. - I have a white object/icon (the Massachusetts text) - I placed the icon/text over a navy rectangle and used "Mask to Below" to create the navy icon/text - on export to pdf, the final file just shows the rectangle as in the screenshot Where am I going wrong here? EDIT: I sort of figured it out...if I use a black version of the MA logo, it works. I am still confused by why it appears the same in the project both ways, but when exporting only works if the logo is the black version. Would love to learn more!

I am trying to use the attached .eps file, but whenever I try to open or place the file I get a "file not supported" message from my Affinity V2 apps. This list suggests .eps files are supported by Affinity. Can anyone tell me what might be happening here? I am on an M1 MacBook Air running Ventura 13.1, with Designer 2 version 2.0.3. Publisher V2 gives the same error. MOTTlogo.eps

Affinity 2 Apps not visible in App Store on Ipad
jackjohnbrown replied to Castellan's topic in Affinity on iPad Questions
Nothing was showing yet for "Affinity" in App Store search on my Mac. I had to go to my Purchases list in the App Store to find my V1 apps, then navigate to the More by Serif Labs section to find the V2 apps. -

I’m prepping a file for screen printing, and need to limit my colors to 3. The file has black, green, and blue — but somehow I used two slightly different blacks. How can I find out which element of my design is using the “wrong” black? (I’ve been manually selecting objects and checking their color value but this seems both ridiculously inefficient and open to creating new problems (moving objects a pixel by mistake, etc.)

I'm not sure if I'm misunderstanding this or not: when I export an SVG from Designer on my Mac, the resulting file shows me the parts of my design that extend past the edges of my canvas. Is it possible to export an SVG and have it be "clipped" to the size of the canvas? Or am I just misunderstanding how the preview window is functioning here? In the .png you can see how the orange shape is trimmed to the canvas size. In the .svg, at least in the quick look view, it shows the entire shape – I'm hoping the .svg can be shown in the same way as the .png so it isn't confusing for my client. _300x600.svg

Thanks everyone — I hadn’t considered the licensing angle!

Just curious if there is a standard practice for designers exporting PDFs using AD…when you create a pdf, do you prefer to embed your fonts in the pdf, or do you convert them to curves when exporting? (I assume “Convert to Curves” is the AD equivalent of Adobe’s “outline fonts”?) I haven’t run into any issues either way but wondered what others do. Thanks!

I feel like this is a simple operation that I'm just not seeing...I have a color document in AD that has a placed image in it. That image is color, and I'm trying to convert it to b/w. When I try to do it via the Adjustments panel it adjusts my entire project instead of only the placed image (I only have the placed image layer selected). What is the right way to do this?
