  1. hello, i seem to be having issues with the marquee tool in the pixel persona layout. i have a large object i would like to take a sample from. so i have gone into pixel persona layout and drawn a rectangular marquee over the area i would like to use. however when i try to copy, i do not get any response. pasting simply pastes the last layer i copied earlier. is there a trick to this? thank you.
  2. I brought an eps file into Designer which has several shapes inside one layer (which is being described as 'Curves' in the layer menu). There was one shape that I wanted to copy and paste into the same set of curves, so that the file retains one set of curves, but I can't find a way to do that. Every time I go to paste the shape, it creates a new separate layer called 'Curve'). At the very least, I know that merging the layer called 'Curve' and the layer called 'Curves' into one would achieve the same desired effect, but I can't find a way to do that, either. So to use the nomenclature of Designer, combine a separate 'Curve' - to a pre-exisiting set of 'Curves', to make one 'Curves'. Designer clearly supports having multiple curves inside one set of curves, but I'm not seeing an obvious menu item or contextual menu to make this happen. I want to do this without using layers - just combine all curves into one set. If someone could point me into the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
  3. The one feature that would completely move me from AI would be the ability to copy a set of curves and past them as masks in After Effects. This feature works great in AI but I hate having to load it up to just make an advance mask for AE. Please! :D
  4. Would be really nice to be able to copy/past Apple Numbers spreadsheet tables into Affinity Designer. Right now it is pretty rubbish, and If I want to get a table pasted into Affinity Designer I need to Copy from Apple Numbers, Paste into Adobe Photoshop, export as PSD, import PSD into Affinity designer. I say Apple Numbers because the table design tools are the best there is, fast easy and very good quality. This would negate Affinity Designer having to get too involved in creating its own table designer, In Design tables are trash also, but I can copy/paste from Apple Numbers. Thanks,
  5. I'm fairly new to AD and loving it! I've been designing patterns for a messenger bag to be made of leather and, before I knew how to use artboards, had separate documents for various bag parts (e.g., front, inside pocket). I designed a strap, for example, that will be riveted onto a pocket. The strap is in one file and the pocket in another. They are all drawn actual size. But, when I copy the strap to paste it onto the pocket, the strap appears huge compared to the pocket. I fear I may be missing something obvious but I don't know what it is. I've made sure both documents have the same print page size (A4) and made sure the units are the same between documents. Nevertheless, an object this is 11.733 inches in one document pastes into the other document at 33.665 inches. Thank you in advance for your help! --- AD 1.4 Mac OS 10.11.1
  6. How do I introduce a jpg into a canvas to begin working with it? I can't seem to copy and paste the jpg. When I open one tab with the canvas and another with the image I can't select and copy the image - it's greyed out. Thanks
  7. How do I copy something on one layer (say the background) to a new pixel layer and them move that selection around on that layer only? Say copy one earring onto the vacant ear.... Thanks.
  8. Greetings, I often copy images from other sources (e. g. screenshots from webbrowsers, selections from other documents) and want to paste them in a new document. When I create a new document I do not know the dimensions of the copied image. It would be nice if Affinity Photo could detect if a copied image exists in memory and fill in its dimensions into the "new document" dialog. I (and hopefully many others) would not need to crop or enlarge the document after copying. Best regards habsi
  9. Dear all, Not sure if the function is already available - at least I'm not finding at (but don't let that be a reference :-)). I used to work with Photoshop and what I personally miss the most, is that - when opening a new file - the dimensions of the copied/cutted image isn't auto suggested. When I now use Affinity for designing a website, it's always an added value that I cut/copy an image from an other page and when I click "New", that Affinity is already suggesting the correct/same dimensions as the cute/copied file. Hope the above explanation is a bit clear? Anyone facing this 'issue' and found a solution? Thanks! Niels
  10. Hi all, Back in PS land, I use a lot of channel masking when it came to copying and pasting high frequency layers. I've worked out how to do the same in Affinity Photo for the first layer, but when I copy a selected part of the layer and paste it, it copies all the child layers. I've added the screenshot to illustrate this. Is there a way to stop this? It's pretty inefficient having to clear the layers as the number compounds each time I copy and paste. It's one of the few times I've seen the beachball appear while using the program. Thanks in advance!
  11. In Photoshop if I add fx to a layer, I can easily MOVE or COPY those fx to another layer simply by dragging (with the Option key held down, if Copying). Empower us to accomplish the same feat in Affinity Photo. Thanks.
  12. Hi Can't find out how to copy sample color from canvas wile using brush or Fill tool. In PS it can be done by pressing Alt and copy or with eyedropper tool. p.s. in color pallet is eyedropper icon can't figure out what this for? http://monosnap.com/image/AQwgqrzL65B9iE5CNO9wzMObWTrf6Y ---------------------- Best regards Aleksander Tymchenko
  13. In pages there is a shortcut to copy the Font/ Size etc of a section and past it to another one! (Word does this with a sort of "brush" icon, maybe there also is a shortcut) And googleDrive has also implemented this in his online Editor. I just really find this feature incredibly helpful and I´m sure you would think so too! This feature would suite Designer very well but would be also useful in the Photo Application. It would be also absolutely perfect in the coming Publisher Application which I already can't wait to use B) Peace out (y)
  14. I work with a couple of Sketch files from before I discovered Affinity Designer, and that I need to maintain. I use Designer to design/manage icons that I use in these Sketch mockups, and until recently I've had zero trouble copying & pasting shapes from Designer to Sketch. Unfortunately, after the Designer 1.2 update, I seem to no longer be able to copy and paste from Designer to Sketch... when I go to paste a shape into Sketch, nothing is pasted. I acknowledge this might be a Sketch issue... but I suspect that maybe something changed in Designer in 1.2 that is giving Sketch trouble when pasting shapes in. My question is: has anyone else had trouble with this? Is this a bug? FWIW, I am still able to copy & paste shapes from Illustrator into Sketch without a problem.
  15. If I copy a selection to clipboard I often open a new document with the dimensions of this selection and paste the selection to the new document. I think you should add the following options in New Document > Dimensions: Copy clipboard dimensions [x] Paste clipboard into new document
  16. Hey folks, I'm seeing some issues with a couple of files I'm working on. I've put together a video showing the issues. http://quick.as/0vaRhrrdm I have found since that copying and pasting in the same document causes the same issue with the transparency going, but alt + drag copy doesn't, and so far this is the only way I can replicate the graphic. Let me know if you need anything else. - Stephen
  17. Hi. I have just started using Affinity Designer after being a (non expert) PhotoShop user. After working on an image successfully, I pasted it into Word, but thousands of random characters similar to some e-mail attachments appeared. This happened several times. The only way around it was to paste into PhotoShop, copy it into clipboard again, then paste into Word. That worked first time. I was disappointed, and rather surprised. Is there a way to solve this? Thanks, Sarah (Mac OS X 10.10.12)
  18. Hi there as the title says, it would be great if i could copy paths i draw in Affinity Photo and paste them into a document in Affinity Designer so I can continue working with the paths there and fill them and so on. I love the idea of an alternative to Photoshop/Illustrator and am ready to completely leave them behind as soon as the features i need are all implemented in Affinity Photo and Designer thanks!
  19. CorelDraw has this wonderful modify+right click to duplicate with changes. This is the fastest and best way to do this, so far, in any app. However you could outdo this by providing this same feature via the Alt+Drag of a handle of a selected object. So if I make a square, and now want to encase that in a rectangle that's larger but starts with the same upper left origin, I simply [Alt+Drag] the bottom right handle and I've made it once I drop it, and then tap the key combo to send it back one in the hierarchy. Where this is probably most useful is in mirroring objects. Grab the handle opposite your desired reflection point, [Alt+Drag] it over the other side of the reflection point and you've made a mirrored object with the same properties in no time at all. Sound fun? Doable? Not conflict with anything else?
  20. Hi there, I am sorry for asking that stupid question - I am feeling very ashamed about this. How do I copy and paste objects like a simple circle between documents? When I press copy (e.g. CMD C) and then CMD V in a new document the circle gets not inserted. I only get a new empty layer called "(Frame Text)" and it's empty blue stroked modify box. Please see picture. What am I missing? Where is my mistake? Please help! Thanks!
  21. Hello folks, great thanks for developing such a fantastic app! In my current workflow i create the right half of an object with the pen-tool. Then, i copy/paste it and mirror it immediately. After repositioning it (thanks for the guidelines :lol:) i want to join/combine these two curves. But every curve has it separate start- and endpoint. Combining two closed curves works great with the union function. But if they are not closed .... My question is: How can i combine these curves to one single curve for later use with gradients, etc. Or is my workflow not right? Do i have to do it in a different manner? I want a perfect mirrored technical object, without to draw both sides separately, because i can't achieve this perfectly. Thank you for your replies. CC
  22. Hello, It would be great if Affinity would support smart copy/paste and preserve vector capabilities within it's software support family such as Photoshop and Illustrator. We often create a shape in Affinity and copy/paste it in Photoshop makes a bitmap image. Would be great if it would create a Smart Object just as illustrator would. Other than that, great software.
  23. I've been bringing text in for mockups from other sources: Word, Email, etc... What would be a huge time saver is the ability to paste just the text without bringing in font size, color, etc. In most applicaitons, this is an edit option called "Paste and Match Style". It brings the text over but retains any current style attributes of the existing text box. SInce there's no way (at the moment) to copy text styles from one object to another, the only thing I can think to do is manually tweak the font size and color each time after I paste. Thanks for what's shaping up to be an amazing application!
