Nice trick, I will try it. When Im using the mouse I have no problem, because Im using third button to hand tool, and also third button + scroll to zooming. But when I'm with the wacom tablet, I dont like the pen buttons, so, im using Z and Space shortcuts to pan and zoom, and Im using a lot that shortcuts. Its a little annoying not having the same behavior like in photoshop for the Z shortcut. Thanks for your replies.

I know, but I prefer to hold it, because Im used to, like in Photoshop or like when using the Hand tool. I think, both behaviors are compatible each other. In photoshop if you press one time Z you get the zoom tool, but if you keep pressed the z, you have the zoom tool while you hold down, when you release, you go back to your previous tool. Exactly happens with hand tool.

Hello, I have a little question, I'm used to using Photoshop the "z" shortcut for zoom, I keep pressed the shortcut while I move the cursor left o right to zoom in or out, and when release the key it returns to my previous tool. It's very useful with a drawing tablet. But in Affinity Designer, once I release the z key, it does not return to my previous tool, I have to press again the z to do that. Is there any way to change this behavior? I prefer to use the "z" shortcut like pan tool (space key), like in Photoshop, Im working fast in this way. Thanks

But I dont want to rasterize them, the software should do that internally, and keep my document with my vectors untouch. Rasterize a vector is a way of "loose" information, and make more dificult future changes.

That would be awesome! is the only thing I miss in this program, but the good part is I discovered how useful is the Export Persona and the slices, for my workflow is better than copy->paste Thanks for all your support.

I understand, but what about Marquee Tool in Pixel Mode? The behavior I would like is to select a part of my composition in Pixel mode with Marquee Tool, then Copy combined, get that part of the image in my clipboard...then I can paste in other program or create new document and paste... But that's the point, copy to clipboard a part of the image in pixel mode.

I tried that, in Pixel mode, selecting all layers, but menu Copy copy all the Objects to clipboard! and not the Selection area. Thats not what Im expecting in Pixel mode. Also, a Copy combined would be very useful, like in Photoshop

Well, after some time testing, I found that I can use Export Persona to create slices from my composition and customize the export format, quality and name, what is very great for Banner creation. Export persona its great, but I think you should implement Copy combined in Pixel persona to copy the selection made with Marquee tool. This is totally basic and very annoying dont having it. The Selection+Copy is not working like I expected. Its the only thing I miss in this software.

Hello, I start using recently Affinity Designer, I fall in love with this software, fast and powerfull, incredible combination of pixel + vector, ideal for website and logo creation. But I Copy/paste behavior is not working like I expected, I explain: I start working and create a vector composition in Draw persona, then I switch to Pixel Persona, and with Marquee Tool I selected a portion of my image, because I want to save it to PNG to use it in a website... Here is where I found a very annoying problem, something so very simple like select, copy, new-document, paste and save, I made this hundreds of times in Photoshop very easy, now is completely imposible. In Pixel Persona, with part of the image selected, the Copy menu is grayed out, can't click the option. Also I tried selecting all layers, but same happens. If I switch to Draw Persona (vector mode) can't copy a part of the image. Im using a lot the Copy combined Ctr+shift+c of photoshop. I view all the tutorials about this software, I think its great, but I dont understant why something so simple like this is so complicated. Any help? Thank you!
