  1. Our popular Affinity Designer Neon Brushes just got a whole lot better! What's new about the pack? we've completely reworked the brushes - revisiting the real neon tube source material to create a vastly superior look. A set of time-saving Affinity Glow Styles has been added - use these to add glows to your design instantly! We've also added a set of handy background gradients. >>GET IT HERE<< Or keep scrolling to learn more. Once again, the Artifex Forge has been on an urban adventure - exploring the city's bright lights to bring you better design resources! This time I've been searching for the best neon tubes to bring this super-realistic set of neon brushes and neon glow effects to life. If you find existing neon effects limiting, lifeless and a little unrealistic, this is the perfect set for you. Most are entirely computer-generated and therefore lack the lifelike qualities and quirks of genuine neon tubing. With these brushes, you can really give your design the wow-factor. So, why are they so much better? True-to-life: they are sourced from real neon tubing, so no flat, lifeless vector neon effects. Multiple highlight options: this recognizes that when you have a group of neon tubes together, they illuminate each other, creating more highlights. Flexibility: being brushes, they're malleable giving you more scope to create the images you want. Fun: you're drawing with neon tubing... what more can I say? Get the pack HERE and start creating Affinity Neon signs today! ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Learn how to create the sausage dog illustration in our tutorial HERE!

  3. How to make a sphere style for shading in AD 2.3? I tried adding shading with a brush in pixel persona. Didn't work for styles. Help please. I've watched the video. The screenshot has their only text instructions.
  4. I want to produce small magazines in different languages, using the English as my base. I want to keep the same formatting, styles, etc and just import a Word file for each language into a new text layer. In ID, I can simply duplicate the English text layer and replace the English with the new language, maintaining the styles. How do I do that in AP2, without losing all the styles and graphics?
  5. This has been a problem in V1 and unfortunately there has been little improvement in this area. The problem is that Designer (other Affinity apps too) frequently crashes when working with styles. Crashes and hangups often occur when I open another category, which gives me the spinning beach ball, and most of the time I have to force quit the app. Creating, re-ordering, deleting and re-naming styles is also very slow and buggy, and causes frequent crashes as well. It seems to me this part of Designer is just not very well developed and too buggy. Plus it is lacking features, like the ability to edit a style. I hope that there will be improvement in this area soon, as it has been an annoyance for years and has in fact cost me time and work as well.

  7. I see many users asking for the feature of importing Markdown templates into their documents. It's normal, with ChatGPT we have an incredible tool to create content for the internet. Having a document with Markdown codes is not the same as having a finished Markdown document. Until Affinity Serif implements that feature, we can do a simple process to get that done. The steps to follow would be: 1. Create a blank document and create the styles H1(#), H2 (##), H3 (###) and Body. 2. Only the (###) (##) and (#) will appear in the template next to the plain text. Now we will do a search and replace (at least in version V2 we can do it like this). Applies the "body" style to the entire document. Replace with this order from greatest to least number of #: "###" without style for "qqq" with style H3. "##" without style for "www" with style H2. "#" without style to "eee" with style H1. Now replace the "qqq", "www" and "eee" by applying "Reset Format" with "" (nothing). You will now have your document laid out in Markdown, clean and with the styles applied.

  8. I have been playing around with styles lately making a bunch for different email marketing campaigns I have been working on. I started off here on the forums to see what others have done and what is possible. In doing so, I came across a post from the pre v2 archive section of the forums from someone looking for a style to recreate an effect in Affinity Designer. See the original post here. I think I have come close just casually playing with it and I thought I would share the style here (See attached v2 AD Style). Here is the original: When I make styles for use with text, I like to design it with the text but then apply to a shape then save style from the shape so the font is not saved with it unless I typically use that font with the style. Below is a single v2 style applied to a font I have called "yellowtail" (Not sure where I got it, probably w/CorelDRAW). I then added the border around the text and the tail. I will show both. Just the style applied: With added tail, just drawn with the pen tool with same style applied) and an underlying layer under the text. I have attached a copy of the tail as well for those who are not comfortable with the bezier pen tool. I hope someone finds this useful. With In AD v2 more is possible in "styles" than v1 and I encourage more "Styles" creation and sharing Cheers! Blueliner Vintage (AD v2).afstyles Tail for Vintage Txt.afdesign
  9. Hi. I can't seem to find a way to make a named style for pen tool lines. Suppose want to make a quickly selectable "line style" that has some predefined attributes for use with the pen tool, such as 4pt, a particular pressure patern, color, etc. If this can be done in AD, please give me some hints as to how. Thanks.
  10. In the latest version, working with styles in Designer is still very buggy and slow. Adding and removing styles is very slow, and might even crash the app. Each time I have an object selected to create a style from, opening the styles menu to add a style takes several seconds with spinning beach ball. This behaviour was already problematic in v1, but I hoped the new version, plus a new Mac Mini M2 would resolve this. It is still there though, and it is very annoying! I hope that you can finally improve on the styles functionality, both improve speed and reduce bugginess, but also allow for better editing of a style. Why not give me the option to edit the style and change things like effects, line width or color? It is quite cumbersome to work with right now, which is a real shame...
  11. Suggest that in the paragraph and character styles in Publisher Preferences the default Ordinal Preference in the Publsiher Preferences NOT be superscript in the preferences panel.It's a death trap for new users and a nuisance for experienced users. I spent an hour yesterday trying to get rid of superscipted numbers in the default Numbers style and superscripted numbers in hyperlinks such as u3a@nnnnnnn. In the end I deleted all styles and recreated the lot. It wasn;t until I went to change the default user interface to a lighter grey and better contrast that I spotted the problem. Aaaarrrrggghhh!!!!
  12. Greetings! I'm wondering about the lack of any default styles and/or palettes for either Designer or Photo v2? Should I export them from v1 or are there downloadable versions available? It would seem like an opportunity to leverage v2 features is being missed here. Just to be clear, this isn't intended as a complaint: I'm happy with what I've seen so far, just want to take my work to the next level. Also, there are no Templates in the Account section. Samples, yes, but no Templates. Thanks in advance, Paul
  13. In Publisher, once I choose a style for selected text, it won't undo by keyboard shortcut. (Windows 11 / 2.1.0.1714) It will undo by menu Edit > Undo, but CTRL-Z does nothing. CTRL-Z does work if you click back on the document, but it takes twice since the first undo is re-selecting the text. Same with either paragraph or character styles, and the same if you've applied a keyboard shortcut for the style and applied it that way. Works as expected in 2/non-beta.
  14. A two-part about importing text. Can I import a Word document into Publisher, where all of Word's ¶ and character styles have styles of the same names in Publisher, but with Publisher's formatting, rather than the original document's? And, related, I'm losing italics when I apply a paragraph style, even if the definition is to leave italics alone with the formatting. Or am I misunderstanding the little dash in the box next to "Italic" in the paragraph definition? Thanks much.
  15. Hi. I am using some STYLES collections in Designer V2 - imported them and they show up each time I start Designer. So far so good. BUT: When I switch to the Designer Persona in Publisher V2 these styles are not there - just the default style category. I can import the styles in the Designer Persona in Publisher V2 and use them. But each time I start Publisher V2 and switch to the Designer Personal the styles list is empty but the one default style category and I have to import the styles again.. I think the styles should show up everywhere in the Affinity suite as soon as I imported them and not disappear from one usage of Publisher V2 to the next. Thanks Chris
  16. Hi. I'd like to make a black or colorless word logo with a rainbow stroke. Every time I try it fills in my letters and I do not see how to make a rainbow stroke. Is this possible please? Thanks!
  17. Here's a little fall season set of some assets & styles for the community. Caution: the included Fall & Halloween styles are very huge in size, since these styles are build out of 3600 x 3600 px bitmaps, so they can also be used on demand for higher-res printing purposes here. The corresponding fall assets & styles set files: fall-assets.afassets (275 KB) fall-holloween.afstyles (283 MB) - Have a nice fall time!
  18. In much of Asia, it is usual to have bits of Latin-script text in a block of Thai, Chinese, or whatever. Right now I'm working on a restaurant menu where one field requires both Thai and Latin script. The next version will need Chinese, too. To make this look good I need a different font for each script. In Microsoft Word I can define a style that uses an entirely different font for each script. From the posts I've seen, in Affinity Publisher I would need to override a paragraph style with a manually applied character style for two of the three scripts. This is a pain, and since I'd have to do it over again whenever my merge data changes, I can't really use Publisher for this job. This problem must be hurting Affinity sales all over Asia, and I would think that applying a font according to a range of Unicode code points would not be a big programming challenge.
  19. This is a feature/update I would love to see come to life at some point as it would allow for a lot more detailed styles to be used created and would offer an advantage over adobe. A newspaper effect would also be a sick and unique addition to it.

  21. I have the same question tumber8 asked about styles. How do I get the textures/images I had in styles from PS CS3 to show in Affinity Photo? I opened the doc “Styles CS3,54a.psd” in Affinity Photo and some of the effects were there but the textures /images were gone. The attachment includes the jpg and psd opened in Affinity Photo. I also included the image of a style from Claudia Phoenyx. The top one has the effects checked and in the bottom one the effects are unchecked but the texture is still there. In Claudia’s style where is the texture kept? I have hundreds of styles I created in CS3 and I would love to share them but without the textures/images there is not much there. My 13 year old Mac that had PS CS3 on it is no longer available so I can’t use PS to convert them to afstyles, Any suggestions? Thanks, JulieO
  22. Bonjour à tous, Est-il possible d'appliquer un style (dream métal - doré) à un pinceau ? Pour avoir un pinceau couleur or ? J'arrive à appliquer le style dream metal doré à un aplat ou à un contour simple (trait continu de base en faible épaisseur) mais je n'arrive pas à le combiner à un pinceau (type acrylique). Est-ce possible ? Un grand merci d'avance à toute la communauté !
  23. I'm having a problem; I think I mentioned it before; I'm just hoping that there's been an update or something since it seems like I'm missing something. I have white text on a black page that overflows (correct term?) into black text on a white page. When text is part of the same paragraph I can't seem to alter it without altering the entire paragraph. Ideally there'd be a way of having the text automatically change style when it becomes a part of that text frame. But even if that's not possible; can I not change the colour of the text if it's in the same paragraph? And even if that's possible it's frustrating because if I change any of the layout I have to keep on going back to make sure no text has crept into the wrong section and is the wrong colour which is even harder because it may be white text on a white background and black on black and, thus, invisible. Maddening! Video of the problem. Affinity_Colour_Prob.mov
  24. Hi all, I downloaded a bunch of styles and they all have bitmap fills (see screenshots). Is there a way to change the fill without affecting the FX and so on? In particular I would like to shrink or enlarge the images and rotate them without changing the size and rotation of the container. I can do this in CorelDRAW. Is there a way to do this? Thanks!
  25. I don't know exactly how to classify the following curious behaviour of the "Styles panel", rather as a BUG or as a future feature. That's why I'm listing it here as a BUG and hope it is one! 1st problem When I create the style of an object or shape (grey rectangle with black outline) in the "Styles panel", I only see a black quad under Styles. But if I click on the button "Draw stroke behind" in the panel "Stroke" under "Order:" and create its style in the "Styles panel", I see a light grey gearwheel symbol on a black quad under Styles. I consider this visual behaviour in the Styles panel to be a BUG. styles_panel_visual_bug.mp4 2nd problem I can e.g. style an object without changing any parameters infinitely but as soon as I change the parameters (Style, Width, Cap, Join, Align, Mitre, Scale with object, Start, End, Arrow place, Swap) (except "Order:" parameters) in the "Brushes panel" or "Stroke panel" I cannot create a style in the "Styles panel". Only when I change the parameters in the "Stroke panel" (Order:), in the "Color panel" (Line colour, Fill colour, Opacity), in the "Effects panel" (Fill Opacity, Effects) and in the "Layer panel" (Layer Opacity, Blend options, Blend Ranges) can I create a new style. styles_panel_assing_bug.mp4 For me, the above-mentioned style behaviour or its purpose is not logical and I don't see it as a BUG, but rather as incomplete or ill-conceived programming. For understanding: The change of the parameters allows the creation of a new style in a category: - Create same object style (multiple possible) - Change line colour - Change fill colour - Change opacity - Layer Effects (Effects panel & Layers panel) - Switch Order - Blend Ranges "Blend Options" (Layers panel) - Layer Opacity (Layers panel) Changing the parameters does "not" allow a style to be added to a category: - Layer Adjustments (Layers panel) - Assign a Brush - Swap Arrow head - Stroke Style - Change Line Width - Change Pressure Here in the forum I found a few messages on a similar topic!
