  1. The Wall Affinity Designer | 1840 x 800mm 300dpi | Mixed raster and vector but mostly vector! Used Untamed: 'Planetary Toolkit' of for the Sky
  2. I much prefer Affinity's pen tool and ability to quickly add and delete nodes and bend existing strokes as I trace over things to what illustrator offers. that said... Is there a way to pull in one of the two handles of a node to the center of the node so the stroke on that side makes a hard point and the other side of the node still has a handle that can be manipulated? Basically i want to be able to create a hard stop of a stroke at a node point and then bend and curve the stroke after that hard stop. In Illustrator, I could just grab one of the handles and pull it in to the node and it would snap in and disappear. Right now the workaround I use in Affinity Designer is to select the node and use the "sharp" convert option at the top of the screen and then using the node tool, pull on the stroke further along to re-bend it. Hope that makes sense -thanks!
  3. Dear Team/Participants I have recently started having startup or loading issues in regarding to both Affinity Photo and Designer, which previously was loading fine. I have followed many forum advise from the net. But to no avail and that’s why I have jointed this group for the first time. I have tried to find solutions through this forum, but found it overwhelming as a beginner on this site. Please advise on other possible solutions other than double tapping with a single finger for the reset mode list. Cuz I have tried different combinations of resets that’s listed. Kind Ragard Edgar
  4. I thought I'd take Affinity Designer's amazing new spiral tool for a spin in a recent Spoonflower competition. Spoonflower is a print-on-demand service for anyone who wants to buy printed fabrics and wallpaper. These spirals incorporate Pantone Peach Fuzz and Peach Blossom. Peach Fuzz is the 2024 Colour of the Year. The image above was rendered in Cheetah 3D. The remaining images are Spoonflower mockups. These patterns can be bought printed on demand; not just on fabric and wallpaper, but also as ready-made duvet covers, pillow cases, table cloths and napkins. https://www.spoonflower.com/en/collections/796023-spirals-by-geometrical_design?productType=FABRIC I'll be adding more spiral patterns to this collection over the months to come.
  5. Hey :-) I do transit maps (diagrams) for fun in my spare time to relax. Here is one of my recent works: the Nottingham Tram Network in my own interpretation (unofficial of course). The whole map is entirely done with Affinity Designer. If you have any thoughts on it or feedack this is much appreciated. Have a great day! Chris
  6. I am new to Affinity designer and am strugling to get used to it. I am trying to export a floorplan to pdf but the corners on the straight lines are missing in the pdf file. (i've attached a copy of the pdf and screen print from affinity). The lines were originally individually drawn. I then tried ?snapping where I stopped changed direction and carried on. Neither resolved the problem. I've also watched an old Affinity video for drawing plans. I couldn't find a solution. There is a red line around the outside of the walls. I tried deleting them and re exporting but got the same result. Is there a way around this? RdSap plan 1st.pdf
  7. Blend tool (object blending) has been requested since 2015. It's a crucial part of doing parametric / creative work. Any chance to put in onto priority / pipe? Thanks
  8. Recently purchased the above pack in the Affinity sale. Does anyone have any tutorials, worked examples or tips showing how to utilise this package? Contacted the developer who could not help.

  12. Hello. I encountered very specific problem I can't find solution to. I am creating sewing cutting patterns. And I wanted to export the file with layers so people can print only the size they are interested in. It should work like this - you have pattern with multiple sizes and in layers you can choose which one you want to see/print. This was created and exported in Illustrator and works as expected. But when I try to export the same thing in AD, the layers on multiple pages are not linked - meaning you'd have to select the visible layer for every page of the document separately. You can see when I am in the middle of two pages I see all the layers of every page but it should be just one layers for all twenty something pages of the document. I also created super simple documents simulating my issue since I am not able to upload the screenshotted document itself. Is there any setting to make the "layers linked" across all the pages or is it something than can not be done in AD? Thank for any kind of help. A4 .pdf A4 Print Template.afdesign
  13. I have looked through the forums, the support pages, and watched a couple YouTube videos, but I haven't found the best method of accomplishing my task. In summary, I want to take a .jpeg image, and cut out the background of spaces outside the image, and inside the image. Then I want to export to SVG. I want the background of all the spots I've cutout to be transparent. With the methods listed below, my image cutouts are not transparent on the exported SVG. My image is a case. sample.afdesign is attached. I am using Affinity Designer V2 at the moment because I found the most documentation and methods around using this software. The methods I have found and tried are. using the pen tool to draw around the case, give the curve a fill, and then from the layer drop down I made it an erase layer. Visually it looks to do the job, but the exported SVG does not show that area cut out. I tried the Pixel Persona selection brush tool to select the portions of the background that differed from the black of the case. That seemed to work well until I got to the portions of the image where the background was very similar to the case. I had to touch up the edges / stroke with the eraser brush to remove the boarder. I found that I can use the pen tool to make a shape of a section that I want to cut out, choose invert selection to get the piece I want, but I am not sure what to do with it from there. From what I am reading, I feel like a need a method of making the shape of the area I want to cut out, make a mask, then delete the mask. Or flatten the mask and the image I am working with. I don't completely understand the usage of a mask, so I am trying to figure that out as well. If it helps, in the past I used fireworks to accomplish the task with the pen tool, converting that to a marquee, cutting out whatever was within the marquee, and making another shape. I refuse to go back to that. I bought the whole Affinity suite, so if another tools is more efficient I can go that route as well. Thanks in advance for any help. sample.afdesign

  16. Hi all, I thought I'd give myself a quick project to explore Affinity's Shape tools and make a series of images. I've made some fish like creatures, but other themes could easily used, like monsters, faces etc. I was thinking this idea could help new users learn about the Shape tools and generally have some creative fun. When I get a few spare moments, my intention is to further embellish each shape with colours, different fills, backgrounds, text etc Note: the bitmap fill is from The Shizzle Style and Brush Pack (Grizzle 1), the paper texture is from True Grit Texture Supply (Folio-Vellum) and additional line shading is from Artifex Forge's Vintage Engraved Patterns (Pattern 6). Yes, I have splashed out on the Spring Sale offers!
  17. Hello! I am currently doing my trial on Affinity and it has a lot of things I love using. On designer 2 that is. I have used inkscape before and am considering the leap here but one thing inkscape had that I love was a create snapping function. It was so easy to get anything into place with it able to line of up things at angles. Like if I have a half circle and a line and I want them to connect, it was so easy to snap them into place as the nodes hooked onto each other with a snap! Now I am trying the snapping function on Designer 2 and it does not do that as I keep trying. Given this is professionally made with more money behind I have a hard time believing the issue is the program, but the issue has to be me. So my question is, how do I turn it so I can make different objects line up up and snap in place more? Like this example and even more ones where the edges of objects, even strokes, snap into place against each other and so on. Am I missing something as I played around with it and it just fails and I am certain I am the dummy here. Thank you for your time!
  18. Hi everyone, I'm exporting some artwork to PDF and I'm unable to export one layer as a layer. The results is that all but one layer export as expected and the contents of one layer appear at the top level and not as a layer. Here's the setup in Designer: And here is the result when opened in Acrobat Reader: The Photo layer is missing. The Photo Layer contents appear at the top level so this might not be a showstopper but I'm curious as to why it didn't export. Any thoughts?
