Hello everyone, I am trying to have some mask on an adjustment layer. The mask is composed of Gradients that I want to be able to edit. What I am using is a Fill Layer since Pixel Layers like Mask Layer cannot be edited afterward. With an Fill Layer on an Adjustment Layer, using the Paint Brush to paint black or white will act as mask on/off as I would expect. However, this does nothing with a Gradient. What I found though is if instead of a black/white gradient I use a transparent (0%) and opaque (100%) gradient and a Fill Layer with "Erase", I can achieve what I need. Problem is now I cannot use the Paint Brush on the Fill Layer anymore! (does nothing) Can someone explain me where I am wrong? Why should we play with transparency in gradient tool instead of black/white? Any other way to have gradient that you can edit after when going back to the layer? Thank you very much and have a lovely day, Torpi

I recently started a document in publisher for work, saved it to my cloud storage and then had to restart my computer for some updates. Now when I try to open the file to continue working on it, Publisher doesn't open the file, and doesn't give me any error messages either. I have attached a video showing what happens as well.

In the New Batch Job dialog the selection titled Available Macros is not displaying the macros correctly. For example in my Library Panel I have these macro categories in this order: Default Uplift - Epic Skies Image Styles Editing Macros - Marvin Effects - Marvin Here is what happens in the list of Available Macros on the New Batch Job dialog: Default - displays the Macros for Default category. This is correct. Uplift - Epic Skies - displays Macros for Default category. This is wrong. Image Styles - displays the last seven macros in the Editing Macros - Marvin category. This is wrong. Editing Macros - Marvin - displays three items from Editing Macros - Marvin and the items of Effects - Marvin. This is wrong. Effects - Marvin - displays the contents for the Default category. This is wrong Here is how I got into this situation: 1. When upgrading I selected existing data in V1 to be brought into V2. 2. When I started to back process some files and reference the macros I saw the problem and figuring something we astray during the upgrade process. 3. To correct the problem I exported the Categories, then deleted them from the Library Panel, and then imported the Categories again. The macros run fine. However, they cannot be executed as a part of a batch process because although they appear in the Available Macros dialog they are not found because (and this is my best guess) the indexed item in the dropdown list does not in reality relate to the actual position/local of the macro. Therefore, the macro selected is not executed and no files are processed. Also, no error handling seems to be done and the program just exits without doing the batch process and no error message is displayed. I don't see a way a user can correct this situation short of maybe putting all macros in the Derfault category. And, I am not eager to do that. Hope this information helps in identifying the cause of situation. Mac mini M1 (2020) Monterey 12.6.1 PROBLEM RESOLVED: This morning the problem was resolved. I simply kept shifting the orders of the macro categories and when I hit on an order that worked I stopped shifting. My best guess is that one of the categories that was moved to the bottom is corrupt. Anyway, there is nothing that the testers or developers have to do on this matter. Peace Marvin

If I open the file with V1 everything OK If I open the file with V2 I see many errors No changes to the file No changes to the .csv data source see attachments

Noobie question . . . is it possible to find and replace the color of objects in multiple layers of a composition in a single, bulk operation where the existing color matches a given hex code? Thanks!

Hello, I own Affinity Photo. I want to use one of the fonts in my logo. My designer does not use affinity photo. I am trying to export the font "Seravek" for him so that he can use that in my logo. Where are the fonts stored how can I do that, and can I do that with the license I have? THanks

Hi, can I let the alpha channel of the fill color of 2 paths (each on an own layer) be operated with by a selected mask operation such as subtract? How? Thanks, u&i

Hello, so I have a project and for some weird reason all new shapes seem to have an inherent gradient-thing that seems like a mask which I cannot remove and any fills I apply will be only applied upon that. it's really weird and frustrating tbh, as I have no Idea what's going on.

I noticed my artistic text tool text has borders around it. I'm not sure if I've accidentally turned something on. I can try to redo the page... But I'd really like to know why it's happening. (FYI: Turning on the stroke style outlines the letters not the box the letters are in.) Any thoughts on how to remove these? Windows 10/version 1.8.4/Publisher The image attached with the toolbar on the side is Publisher with some details (i.e. no stroke width) The other image is an from an exported PDF. Thank you.

hi I'm doing some texture work and I need to select all blacks in my blue channel but I can't find a good way for it without changing other channels. in Photoshop it was supper easy (go to blue channel and select color range) but I can't wrap my head around it in affinity photo. I select all blacks in blue but when I change them all other channels get affected somehow?! Here is a sample:

Good afternoon I updated the affinity versions and in affinity designer the story doesn't record, when I press command+Z it doesn't work. Thanks
