Hi, trying to understand some affinity Photo functionality, i observe a really strange behavior. Start with a life filter, e.g. procedural text, to generate a simple gray gradient Add a rectangular vector shape as mask Look at the transform panel The live filter now gets option to enter x, y, rotate and sheer If you enter 200 for x, the vector shapes gets shifted. But the x will shows -56 after completion. entering 100 for y will not shift, but -156 will be shown The valus seem to add to 256 Another observation: If you move the vector shape after nestig it, the transform panel will show insane values for the live filter layer. I spotted this in a more complex document, when i tried to pixel-align some vector shapes used for masking with help of transform panel, and struggeled there how the layers were presented. My assumption (which could be wrong) is that the transform panel should not allow to enter values for x,y,r,s at all for live filter layers, and should not be able to e.g. rotate. zero pro text gradient.afphoto 2021-02-19_19-38-10_proc_text_and_vector_as_mask.mkv

Hi, I am new to Affinity Designer (a week) and need some guidance. I have a simple problem that I cannot seem to get past. I'm trying to reduce the weight of a font and cannot seem to do it. I am using the PilGi font and would like to reduce the weight. - Thus far I have been converting to curves and adjusting it manually but am not 100% happy with my work. I am struggling with keeping the lines smooth. - I have also tried to create/edit text style as it seems to have that option, but it is greyed out. I would like to just dictated the weight of that font. Please help, this is driving me bonkers! Thanks ahead of time!
