  1. Hi there, I have been using Photoshop CS4 for some years but thought I would give Affinity Photo a try. I am stuck at what seems a very basic hurdle. I have a PSD 420 x 287 px. Within it I have several layers each an image of 400 x 267 px. The background is white and therefore gives a 10 pixel border. All I want to be able to do is merge visible, select all and copy and paste to another layered PSD, this however only ever copies the image and not the image plus background ... how do I copy and paste the whole area selected? Thank you
  2. In this quicktip [ GERMAN | ENGLISH subtitles ], I'll show you how to transfer styles and effects from one object to another object in Affinity Designer. https://youtu.be/gqp_dTqYppI Keep on drawin' Norbert
  3. Apologies for the newbie question here, I have the feeling I'm overlooking something very obvious but can't seem to figure it out. I've created a logo which consists of 6 layers. The layers have been grouped together. My question is a 2-parter: 1) how do I duplicate the group/image-as-a-whole...then separate (drag?) the dup from the original? and, 2) how can I then copy/paste the dup(s) to a new document or artboard? Thanks in advance for any help on this. christo
  4. Hi , i was wondering if it would be possible to copy and paste content in SVG code or HTML5 from Affinity Designer to any text editor?
  5. Hello, I have a issue when copying files from and to Illustrator. When copying geometry from Ilustrator to Affinity Designer it reduces the scale. Example: 10 mm in AI > 2,4mm in Affinity Designer. When copying geometry from Affinity to Illustrator it reduces the size about 20 percent <<< solved by setting "copy as svg" in Affinity Someone has a solution? Thanks and best regards pseudox
  6. Hi, how do I copy and paste a selection made with the marquee tool?! I am trying to duplicate some parts of an image and also try to copy a part and paste it as a new image (ctrl+alt+shift+n) Edit: Is it possible to switch the shortcuts for the Marquee tool?! I couldn't find it in the settings. Subtracting selection with Right+Left Mouse seems to be rather weird to me, especially since I have to make sure I release the left mouse button first, otherwise a new selection will be created. I would like to exchange it with DRAG+Ctrl since moving the layer is something I never did :huh: Edit 2: Okay, just found out about "Copy flattened" ... what is the difference to Copy?!
  7. Hello to everyone, when I copy and paste a layer or a group, should move that object into position according to the cursor and not above the same object. Is interesting that when the copied object is not in frame, is pasted where the cursor is. I attached a video https://www.dropbox.com/s/xcaz29l8slbf9i3/2016-12-01%20at%2018-03-13.mp4?dl=0 Thanks
  8. Hello, maybe I'm just doing something wrong? I have my Affinity document set up to use Pixels as units. The drawing is 580px wide exactly. I copy everything and paste it in photoshop as curves, yet it's pasted at 154px (100%). If I scale the image to make it 580px, there is some white , jagged-fraying on the edges of the curves and it looks like crap. What am I doing wrong? Why aren't the programs 1 to 1 with each other? Thanks
  9. Hi, I just downloaded Affinity Photo (and also bought Affinity Designer), hopefully a good replacement for the horrible PP Pro and Inkscape :) I would like to know if it's possible to turn off the brush preview, I just need the outlines of my brush tool (its annoying that I can't see what's underneath my brush, especially while using my Cintiq 13HD with pressure controlled brush sizes). Using the pressure controlled brush always shows a full black circle, then, upon drawing with minimal pressure, I can draw a thin line, but upon releasing my pen, the preview for my brush tool is the whole size again (especially bad, when using biiiiig brushes). Another question: I tried to make a screenshot with the print key. How do I paste the result from the clipboard into Affinity Photo (as a new image). CTRL+P is disabled. Tried another photo software and it works just as expected. And finally: As of now the software works great with my Cintiq, unlike the other double P painting software ... awesome :) Regards, Irrgeist
  10. Hi, We develop for Autodesk (external) and have a tool that allows users to copy/paste svg into Maya. We've been getting requests from users to better support Affinity so we're testing it out but getting an issue we can't get our head round. Our current workflow (or one of them at least) in Maya is based on the ability to copy SVG info out of e.g. Illustrator/web etc to your clipboard and then paste that directly into Maya (to create 3d geometry). I'm new to Affinity so maybe missing a workflow here but it seems this isn't possible? I've tried copying the clipboard from Affinity into a text editor but that doesn't seem to give any results. What does seem to work is copy/pasting into Illustrator. We also have an 'import svg' function which works fine from Affinity (i.e. File > Export > SVG) so a little in the dark about where the issue lies. Can anyone shed any light on this? i.e. what is actually being copied to the clipboard? Thanks, Chris
  11. Dear Affinity team, it is part of my workflow to import vector graphics from the statistics program Graphpad Prism into Affinity designer. When I copy a given plot in Prism and paste it in Affinity the vector nature is preserved. However, I found that the size of the graph's components changed, e.g. a 0.5 pt line would end up being a 0.7 pt line and so forth. I found that when I set the document's dpi to 104 the dimensions seem to be preserved, but since I also work with raster images from other sources within the same document I don't want to switch back and forth changing the dpi for the document all the time. Am I missing an obvious solution so AD would paste vector graphics at a given size regardless of the document's dpi settings? Thanks for your help, -hubob
  12. I've just discovered that unless I have the entire screen (in this case a large map) visible, AD's Paste does not place objects that I have copied exactly in the same location from which I copied them. Is it true that i must have the entire map visible (or at least the area from which I cut the object) for Paste to keep the same location? If I must have the entire map visible to cut/paste in the exact same location, I wish AD had a warning to remind me to Zoom To Fit. Many of my precisely placed texts are now totally off requiring tons of correcting. I should add that many of these are Artistic texts which were brought from Illustrator into AD as separate SVG letters when I opened the Illustrator doc in AD. These SVGs, however, are properly placed when pasting with the entire map visible. I'm wonder if this is related to other problems that often come up when I have been using AD intensively for a few hours. AD starts to act strangely, i.e., my keystroke cease to work, selecting objects no longer works, layers of selected object are not in blue nor see as selected on my screen, etc. However, once I quit AD and bring it up again with the same doc, these problems are gone. Thus it must be a memory issue. My solution is to quit AD every hour and bring up the AD doc again. It is also obvious that using Save As with a new name considerably cuts the size of the doc (e.g., from around 180 mgs to 140 mgs). I realize that this is larger than normal docs. I could break it apart but it's all inner-related. Unlike Illustrator, however, AD's layer and sublayers work extremely well. Note: Using AD's current beta (1.5.2 Beta 3), OS is El Capitan and have 24 gigs RAM.
  13. 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.
  14. In Affinity Designer Beta, I have an EPS vector with more than 1000 icons. I want to drag a selection box around one of them to copy or recolor it. But Designer selects ALL the icons with the Move tool, or individual elements of each icon with the Node tool. In Illustrator, I can easily drag around any icon to select it. How do I do that with Designer? 1111_XXL_set2.eps
  15. I have nested groups of text frames and shapes that I copied. These groups were inside a layer in another group. I want to place these groups inside another layer and still retain the original groups---- but when I highlight the layer or place where I would like to paste this copy, it always ends up outside of all layers and also doesn't retain the groupings made in the copy-all frames and shapes get pasted as individual items on their own layer. Is copy/pasting groups not there yet?
  16. I'm using Designer and its great. One thing holding me back from Photo unfortunately is that when i copy and image into the clipboard and paste it into Photo, it doesn't automatically size the artboard/canvas to the size of the image. Photoshop does this as follows. When you copy something into the clipboard, you do a cmd-n and Photoshop starts a new tab with the Canvas defaulting to the size of the image in the clipboard. This is really useful. I am copying images and pasting into Photoshop all the time. In Photo, unfortunately, it doesn't auto detect and set the size. This would be less painful if there was a way to quickly resize the canvas to fit the image, but I don't know how.
  17. I tried all of the copy and paste possibilities, but nothing helped. How to copy and paste from one layer to another transform values? Appreciate any help! :)
  18. Whenever i copy a picture (from web or my own files) on my clipboard and i try to paste it on my affinity canvas it pastes as text (https type link). It did not used to do this. The workaround includes a lot more steps. Can anyone help me revert it back to where it wont do this and just post the image?
  19. New to Affinity Designer and the forum. Keep going guys Affinity designer rocks. It's very, very good, coming from a long term Fireworks/Illustrator user perspective. Excellent. The paste bug I've found is minor but probably should be on your agenda in that if you paste an object from a document that is wider than the document you're pasting into the object sits outside the visible document area on the new document. You can grab objects once you realise where they are but the suggested improvement is to detect doc size first, if you can, and paste the image centre of the new document - which is what Fireworks does for example. Not a killer feature but nice quality-of-life touch. Keep up the great work otherwise. Q.
  20. I'd like to see support added for SHIFT+DEL, CTRL+INS, SHIFT+INS shortcuts for cut / copy / paste, as is standard across many Windows applications. This is in addition to the existing CTRL+X, CTRL+C, CTRL+V shortcuts that already exist. Currently it's only possible to reassign the existing shortcuts rather than add additional ones, and it isn't possible to assign SHIFT+DEL. My earlier comments and related discussion on this topic here: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/22639-affinity-designer-public-beta-1507-windows/?p=107136
  21. If I select some artistic or frame text in build 1.5.0.6 and copy or cut it to the Windows clipboard, I can see it on the clipboard but I can't paste it at the text cursor.
  22. OK what is "paste Inside" for? Like Crop in Draw?...Power Clip in Corel Draw? Need some better documentation.
  23. Paste Special: In 1.5.0.2 the app crashes when pasting text in RTF (Unhandled Exception) but works with Unicode. In 1.5.0.4 the App inserts 'random' characters (see attached file) and Unicode still works. In both versions, Pasting text from the clipboard inserts it as an image - is this what it is intended to do? Paste.afdesign
  24. ...rather than have to first rasterize (convert to pixel) layer before being allowed to copy selection to new layer.
  25. When i screenshot & paste image with Affinity Desinger it inserts images x2 size probably because of Retina display. I wish it insert same size i see but i can't find any settings =(
