  1. Hello! I am trying to recreate the Photoshop feature "Create clipping mask". When I go to the help section in the program it self it won't load any links... Is there a tutorial anywhere on how to do this? Thanks, Paul :)
  2. I need an export format which contains Alpha channels or Layers as masks in i.e. Indesign to switch masked parts on an off in imported images (like cropped product shots with background or not, depending on the layout). I've tried TIFF, PNG and PSD - but none of these will provide any kind of Alpha channel in Indesign, unless I use TIFF with the initial Layer active. Then I see the Alpha option in Indesign, but the masked part of the image is already transparent and cannot be made visible. Please send me an urgent solution as we have to place many images in Indesign Layouts with this feature. Daniel
  3. How do I edit my gradient applied to a mask with the gradient tool without it defaulting to the grey to white? If AD/AP would remember the gradients used would be good.
  4. I'm thinking of stacking several astrophotos with foregrounds and to do it I'll guess I will need to mask the foreground to get clean and sharp stars. Is it possible to do one mask in one layer and then copy it to all of the other layers?
  5. Hi there, Question: in my workflow, I usually tweak masks by using curves or levels. The curve then becomes a sort of expand-contract for the black-white values, which is pretty helpful for quick tweaks. Is there a way to do the same in AP? If I have a mask, say with a feathered circle, and I create a curve, AP creates a new curve adjustment. At first, I thought I could simply move the curve adjustment as a mask children, but it seems it doesn't affect the mask. Now I'm not even sure if this worked in the initial release and perhaps is broken in the current one (1.5.0.39) Any thought? Best, Andrew
  6. In the case in the picture below, I can't move the image after applying the mask without moving the mask. How to unlink?
  7. An improvement suggestion: The ability to select by tonal range is very very useful, BUT it would be mega useful if it were possible to add additional controls in a daughter dialogue box to refine the selection of the tonal range - dark point, light point and feather. The I wouldn't need luminosity masks. :) I hope this is the right place for suggestions.
  8. Hi Folks, occasional complete crashes occur when resizing documents. As well masks sometimes do not work any more after resizing. Even going back certain steps in the protocol does not recover mask content. Very strange behaviour. Going back as far as the mask content was added does recover mask settings ... Cheers, Timo
  9. How can I prevent the "building" image from appearing outside the "frame" on the attached screenshot? The inside of the frame image is transparent (transparent png). I believe there must be a way to mask the outside of the frame but cannot figure it out. I've spent hours googling and watching videos with no luck! Thank you to the Affinity community for your help for this newbie I will pay it forward!
  10. Hello, I've encounter a problem during refine selection. It's happens when I try apply output to mask. Every time I got different crash code.
  11. Being able to paste any layer into the mask to give it a custom look is a must honestly. Especially useful for photomanipulators that need to work flexibly.
  12. Hi As I needed recently to work on the project in AP (my choice) with colleges with Photoshop CS6 (who work with that anymore, right?) we have run into a problem with layer masks exported from Affinity Photo. Thay appear as a rectangle in Photoshop, no matter what the original mask shape was in AP. See the screenshots. Happens to all layer masks created in AF exported to PSD.
  13. Hi all, I had the situation, that I created an object as a mask (which is a non destructive boolean object - I love this functionality). But when I use that object as a mask, I loose the ability to "on-the-fly-modify" the mask itself. I have to the the mask object out of its function as a mask - to have the booleans to click on an modify. After that I can use it again as a mask. But that means again, I cannot pick the separate mask-objects to modify ... so I have to start the same process again and again... Thanks for thinking about that issue, Stefan.
  14. I tried applying a mask to a grouped curve and received Code: 0xC0000005 :(
  15. Hello everyone! I'm brand new to this forum as I just bought Affinity Photo and Designer to replace a couple of Adobe products! I LOVE Affinity but I'm still learning some of the ins and outs. One of the biggest features I loved about photoshop was the ability to use the quick selection wand and then create a path from the selection. This was great because I always use vector masks when cutting out objects and it saves me tons of time, not having to use the pen tool to draw around parts of an object. Vector masks are the best because of the control and percisioun that you can achieve on the edges. I'm hoping Affinity Designer or photo has this function but I didn't see it anywhere. If anyone knows if this is possible, let me know! I'd really appreciate it! I can still make my masks using the pen tool but using a selection would be fantastic! :)
  16. Hi there. For the life of me I don't know how to draw a circle marque on a layer mask and then move and adjust it WITHOUT cutting the mask. Please help! In Photoshop I would create my own vignettes by making a black layer and then masking it with a feathered circle. And I can A) draw the marquee circle right in the center of the layer using modifiers (which I can't find with AP). and B) move the marque around freely without taking a chunk of the mask with it (which I can't find in AP). heeeellllp :) thanks! :D
  17. Hi folks, How can I simply do this? GradientTool&Mask.mov It's an almost everytime needs for me when advance editing a photo :( Am I missing something? Thanks for your help.
  18. I'm not sure if it is a bug, intentional or a missing feature, but it isn't possible to expand a compound shape in the layers panel while it is used as a mask for another layer, as there is no drop-down button to do so. So, to edit said compound shape, I have to release it as a mask first. But this way, of course, I don't see the result while editing it. I'm using 1.5.0.9. Thanks. untitled8.afdesign
  19. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong, or need to learn the Affinity rather than the Adobe way, but I'm having a bit of a problem working with masked images. If I use a vector mask, then once the original image is masked then I can only resize the masked image, not the original one. If I want to reposition or resize the original image I first have to move the vector mask out of the group, or turn off the vector layer. It's really cumbersome and not great for cropping and repositioning images. Ideally I want controll over both at the same time. As far as I can see, it's the same with pixel masks. Any work-arounds anyone? Thanks
  20. Masks do not work on an object and it's effects as a whole. For example, say you have a doughnut shaped vector (like an "O") and you want to add a drop shadow that only appears within the doughnut's hole; so you add the outer shadow effect to the doughnut and make an oval (without a hole) that fits perfectly on top of the doughnut and that use it as a mask on the doughnut. But, instead of cutting out the drop shadow that lies outside of the mask, the effect now acts on the mask and object as a whole. This might be an easier way of explaining it: What is should be: (object + fx) - mask What it's doing: (object - mask) + fx Hope that makes sense.
  21. I like working for example with a blur to a mask. Missing this option in beta or is this not a designer function? Sorry for my terrible english. :)
  22. I've made a mask and need to apply it to a layer so I can size, move and perform color corrections on this masked layer. However, when I create a new layer mask, the image I'm masking disappears, or rather it seems that the mask is applied to the layer and the image and mask don't remain independent of each other. So I'm unable to resize the masked layer. I'm attaching the before and after screen shots to demonstrate the issue I'm seeing in the layer palette. What am I missing?
  23. I was experimenting and learning about the zoom filter today putting light rays onto a photo. I have attached a screen shot to show you what the anomaly is. I am wondering why this is happening.
  24. When i make a selection, refine the mask and than make a new layer with mask; than try retouch the mask with the brush I get what looks like corrupted data. Is this a bug or what. I have tired installing and reinstalling photo. I am using the trial, I was going to buy this program it looks great but not if this is right. I have attached a screen shot, can anyone help me out.
  25. Hey all! I am having a problem with a shuriken I designed. I made a star and omitted sections by masking with other shapes. The only problem is that the whole outline is rendered with the image when I try to export. How can I be rid of those lines so that only the shuriken is rendered, not the whole star in outline form?
