I've noticed that applying any effects to live text is good until you change the font size. All the effects sizes stay the same even though I clicked the Scale Effects button in the places I could find, it still will not scale the effects added. SURELY, I'm doing something wrong.

In this Affinity Photo V2 tutorial Desktop version, I create a colorful graphic using power duplicate, blend modes, FX, adjustments and more. I also did an iPad version that you can find on my Youtube Page. https://youtu.be/sTZg84tGBl0

This is something that I feel is kind of missing from the effects board. While having both overlay color and the fringe option - one still feels like its missing. The "Fill-Effect". Having a Fill-Effect would be a huge improvement when thinking of a more non destructive workflow. This would be especially helpful for artists that work with outlines and want to reduce the layer count while still maintaining a non destructive workflow. This fx could come with modes like these: - Símple Fill-In which searches the outlines of and object/lines inside of the outest outline and fills the spaces that do not yet have any pixels in them. - Fill the whole image (fills the whole layer with all the outlines similar to overlay color but also fills any gaps inside the main outline of the layer) -> This could help creating black versions of objects for more simplified artstyles, masks or sillouettes) (- Fill the whole background behind an object - including outlines) An export fill option would be super helpful here btw - so you are able to just click a few buttons and fill out the whole object without having to fill out each single space on your own. This would give artists the option to create a backlayer quickly while keeping the outline layer separate if they want to. Also, if the artist would change an outline the object would still be filled perfectly which would safe a lot lot of time not having to erase background of add new background to the outline. Please consider adding this. It would make so much so much easier. Greetings, Chris

There are inherent and consistent FX bugs in 1.8.3 and prior versions. In any of my projects (old or new from scratch), when attempting to re-adjust or add a style, I am occasionally unable to choose any of the style categories again (the option of choosing a category freezes in the reopened panel) without having to first reboot Designer. This happens in Photo 1.8.3 as well. Also, when copying and pasting FX styles from one object to another, the style measurements often (bevel size, outer shadow, etc.) end up slightly altered from the original source. Hope I am not the only one having similar issues. iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2019), 3.7 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i5, 64 GB Ram, Radeon Pro 580X 8 GB
