Smee Again

Built by a good friend of mine at his shop in Houston..... McCreations,this is a very close reproduction of the bike Dennis Hopper rode in the movie.Very few ever built,hundreds of the Peter Fonda bike were.

Good effort, Krishna. It kinda shows how tricky the subject is, as Smee indicates. When I try to get my head around it, I end up in need of a bit of exorcism.
This has been discussed a lot in other posts, including recently:
and further back here (and more):
One for the Santa list, perchance.

Let's try to bump this thread.
Apply boot to post . . . BUMP!!!

Hi guys, if you are using Adobe Photoshop or used it before, you must have seen the FILL option often right. It's located below Opacity in Layer Panel. So some of you might be wondering about the difference between Opacity & Fill Opacity because if you look at it, both Opacity & Fill Opacity do the same thing, controlling the transparency of a layer. But then, why bother to create the same feature, there must be a difference right. So in this video, I will explain the difference between Opacity & Fill Opacity, and where Fill Opacity is located in Affinity Photo. I hope you enjoy this video, thank you!
 
 

Here's my first Instrument Panel done mainly in Designer. There are a few imported Photoshop elements from previous panel illustrations. These are used as training aids for student pilots.
The individual instruments an be configured to represent a particular flight attitude, too.
I am staring to get used to the 'thinking different' that Designer takes, compared to my lived-in-for-thirty-plus-years Photoshop.
Enjoy!

It does work perfectly when the user isn't dealing with effects of chemo.
I had not made adjustments with the brush. Chose pressure to moderate both size and fill . . .  then left both sliders set to "Zero" which isn't going to do anyone any good.
No defect in software, only in this end user.

Hello @Smee Again,
I think the Huion H610 should work fine in all Affinity software.
The pressure properties are set in the menu bar.
Another tip: activate Windows INK in both Affinity and Huion drivers.
 
Cheers

Vector Assets: Camouflage III 'Bumble Tree' 
Added a set of Vector assets with 11 categories into resources: Camouflage III Bumble tree assets
CF 01-10 Tree Sets
CF Textures
10 Trees in 3 different object configurations and all single elements
The new feature select same: colour is really useful for playing around with these:

Tree Construction
For the trees I wanted to create something modular that could be used to build a number of similar objects
The branches for the main trees (Bumble Tree!) are also used to generate additional trees for the landscape
The faces needed to vary slightly to create unique trees. So Rock Monster World Assets were used to construct different faces.  

Composite Plant Assets
New set of composite plant assets.

Inspired by beach style resin crafts I saw on the internet I thought I would re create the effect as a text effect in Affinity Photo.  I used seamless repeating images as pattern layers and the text is still editable.

Personal project. Almost entirely done with Adesigner. Thanks to the new 1.9 feature Antialiasing control. Thanks to Aphoto and new pattern layer.

And yes, I know what you want to say!
Here it comes!
And I was rather going for the mood than realism.

And since the woman in my life told me that it looked a bit empty …

And another toadstool …

And some more…
Maybe I should open a general mushroom thread?

Hi there,
just want to share my first try in drawing cars. It's not already perfect, some shadows and surfaces are not there, and most of the lights are missing. It's work in progress. Windows and everything about it had to be done. But for today it's okay. Maybe I'll do some more of my dream cars, when this is done. Should I?
Happy Easter all togehther!

Considering this was my first ever helicopter flight, I think I did Ok. I just held the camera very tightly, without using the screen or viewfinder, just like my stomach and at about 1000 ft pressed the button. I've checked it against Google Earth (Desktop and web versions) and I did a better job than they did.
Not bad for my first effort. 
Santini Air would be proud.
Location? Middleton School and Tyesdale, Bretton, Peterborough. 

Nothing to see here, move along...hope the ladybird doesn't see me; hope the ladybird doesn't smell me either!

For a while, the Semi-pro bike race came to Peterborough and did a few laps of the town centre. The events were held in Spring and after the shops were closed, typically 7pm starts. So as you can imagine the lighting was always tricky: some years were more photogenic than others.

"No thanks. I'll stay in and go for a walk instead."
This was another one of my point-and-shoot-without-using-the-screen pictures. Not bad eh?

I really wish we had "Layer Fill" in Affinity Photo, but fortunately, one of our members has devised a way to "almost" match the results for use in color grading images. Thought I would show a few examples of the my recent work before editing and after. All was done using Affinity Photo ONLY.
I like to use color to change the mood of an image, and the use of a color layer with control over the fill (NOT the opacity - different animal) really helps. I wish Serif would bring that ability (and not a workaround that "almost" does the same thing) to Affinity Photo.

This is what I have got so far.
I need to add some more at the left side and maybe modify what is already there, and this is a png file rather than the jpg needed.
The file is poemdraft3.png
This is 7 inches by 5 inches at 300 dots per inch, with a 3 millimetre bleed area at each edge, using pixel measurements of 2171 pixels by 1571 pixels.

There has been discussion of a problem, but what follows seems more appropriate for Share Your Work, so a new thread, but with a courtesy link to the original thread.
https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/136552-bleed-area-issue-with-designer-bug-or-feature
I am producing artwork to make what are notionally photo greetings cards, but I am making jpg files of the correct size at 300dots per inch CMYK colours and using those instead of photographs to produce one-off greetings cards, then uploading to the company's website and in due course receiving a card by post.
https://www.papier.com/
https://www.papier.com/photos/photo-cards
I have used
https://www.papier.com/customise/landscape-photo-313
and
https://www.papier.com/portrait-photo-315
I have found that the best way to do this is to work in pixels at 2171 by 1571 pixels, which is 7 inches by 5 inches with a 3 mm bleed area on each edge.
The two that I have produced thus far were produced using PagePlus X7 as I was used to it, but they were basically simple images on a white background. This was because I was used to using PagePlus X7.
 I am now starting to learn how to use Affinity Designer, I am a beginner, 
The following is a png of a copy of a part of the new design, produced today.

I have it in mind that this will be centred in a portrait format card, then using Affinity Designer to add colours at each side and into the bleed areas, with the intention that the finished card will have colour right to the edges.
The image is of some language-independent glyphs, some used more than once, so as to produce a poem, with each glyph representing a whole sentence. I produced the designs as abstract designs, but if one knows the meaning of a glyph one can read the poem in any language that you know.
I am wondering if readers who like a puzzle might like to try to work out the meaning of the poem. The designs are abstract but there are some clues.

These stars are so that if readers post their attempts or other comments, then the puzzle can still be new for new readers.
