  1. Hey everyone! I'm trying to figure out how to take the text that I have on my image, and instead, cut those words out from the image to expose the background. I'm making a logo with a transparent background, and I want the text to expose the color of whatever the backdrop is at the time. I'm new to this, and so I would greatly appreciate your assistance. Thanks!
  2. Hi So I've watched a few YouTube videos and have a pretty good idea how symbols work, but they're working in a different way than I need. Is what I'm trying to achieve possible? If so, how am I using Symbols incorrectly? What I'm trying to do: I have created a 'standard' button, to be used throughout the web app I'm designing, but also a smaller one for a mobile web app version. In both cases it's a rounded rect, with a text on top, which has a pre-defined Text Style. My issue is that I want to be able to change the look of all the buttons in one go i.e. size, shape, colour etc, HOWEVER, each button's text is unique. I do NOT want the text to be common across all of these button symbols. Yes, the font colour, style and positioning (central to it's button 'shape') but NOT the text characters themselves. Is this even possible or am I using symbols incorrectly? Thanks
  3. I have a text layer that is super-bold and setup with an 11pt black outline/stroke and white fill/swatch. I also have an SVG layer. When I drag the text layer onto the SVG layer, making the text layer a child to the parent SVG layer, I get the desired affect of the SVG filling the text. However, I loose the stroke that the text previously displayed. I'm brand new to Affinity and desktop publishing software. Could someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong, and point me in the direction of what I should do, to retain the text stroke, whilst also having the SVG fill the text? Many thanks!
  4. Hi. I'm trying to figure out why I'm getting an undesirable border of lighter pixels around the edges of text in Affinity Photo. I've attached an image of example text to show what I mean. It is NOT a text decoration or effects border - neither of those are active - and the 'border' of pixels remains when rasterised and/or exported. I've recreated exactly the same test text in Affinity Designer and there is no border on the text. I have ALSO literally copied and pasted the text frame from Photo to Designer and the border of pixels have gone. However, if I open the actual original AfPhoto document in Designer, then the light pixelated border remains. Is there something at the document level I'm not aware of that I need to set, or if not, what is the solution? Or is this a bug? Help and insight would be appreciated. Thank you.
  5. Honest! I did a search before creating this post; but didn't find anything related. Just wondering, with all the various text editor apps, which ones produce text which requires the least amount of corrections, modifications, adaptations, consistency, etc, when taken into Publisher. Just thinking, "if" there is a difference between the text produced in the various sources, and how much time is spent in layout and all the other adjustments, it might be a considerable time-saver if it be knownst to everyone. (Maybe there aren't any differences; and that would be good to know as well.) Just a thought, .... Thanks in advance.
  6. Hello all, I have created a shape in Designer. Now I want a text to adapt to this shape. I have not found a way to do this, not even via Google. Here is the primitive example, shape and text: So I want the text to flatten from the bottom left to the top right and take the bottom curve of the shape. Thanks for any tips! I've also attached the sample file in case anyone wants to use it. Regards, Felix text-to-shape.afdesign
  7. In Affinity Designer my regular text box is working just fine, but when I try to drag out an Artistic Text box, a few things go wonky. I'm sure I've got a few settings messed up somewhere, but I can not figure out what or where. Please help. Video attached. Explanation below. So, when I try to drag out the Artistic Text box it will really only grow vertically. It seems like the horizontal is locked. Then, when I start typing, it's automatically in all caps and when I change it to normal case all of the lower case letters get sent to the front of the box past the capital letter at the beginning (see video). I am very confused. Sorry if my explanation is not very detailed. Please Help! Artistic Text Issues.mov
  8. Can you enable mouse drag to resize selected text/font in the character menu, similar to character tracking, kerning and scaling functions.
  9. Hello! First of all thank you guys for having developed this wonderful suite, I bought all three software on my Macbook Pro and my win10 desktop. They are really brilliant in many ways, but there is one thing that frustrated me a bit. Based in China with this East Asian background I have to deal with lots of vertical texts, in Mainland China vertical layout texts in books or magazines have become much less popular since the new regime made decision to assimilate to the West, however these years I have seen many people of young generation have picked up the old tradition in their works i guess might be Japan/Taiwan/Hong Kong cultural influence that made them to rediscover the old fashion China style. Anyway I am still able to make vertical Chinese/Japanese/Korean layouts, just very inconvenient. What I am doing now is type text in horizontal text frames and then edit them to be vertical and I give up if there are loads of words. I hope if possible I will be able to directly type in vertical CJK texts like in Word/Pages or Japanese version of Indesign. thanks. And if this function is still there just me not knowing it please tell me lol. Wish you all the best, I really appropriate.
  10. I can't find a way to do this. I'm sure it's something ridiculously simple... but just can't figure it out. Please help!
  11. Would it be useful if you could import and export text styles? Single or multiple text styles together.
  12. Hi All, I am new to Affinity range. In PagePlus I had a text frame and I click on "Justify Paragraph". That kind of makes the text even within the text frame. In Affinity Publisher I see I have more choices, but experimenting I could find similar result. Did I miss something? Or how do I set this up and save as a favourite? Thanks in advance
  13. Hello, I use AP and AD only for simple work and don't have so much time for practice. Now I would create a card like shown in 25.png Using the PenTool and ArtisticText I became like shown in Try.png, but how can I achive the text marked with the red arrows. I found it very difficult to create curved lines, attach the text and the text fit's perfect. Is there an easy way to create? Thanks in advance Guenter
  14. Hallo, if i open a psd, it is not possible to change the text. (it is possible to change size etc.) In the layer it says: .... (pixel). Do I have to import in a different way. (Checkbox "PSD Text editierbar schalten" (german) is activated)? Thanks a lot for giving me a hint! Jörg
  15. Dear Affinities, I try to make simple thumbnails for my videos posted on bilibili.com 😁 So far I have done things like this: Unfortunately, I don't know Mandarin 😭 That's why I use a translator... This process is so crazy 😜 The problem is that when I copy and paste text into Affinity I can't change the fonts even though I have installed some new ones. Only some parameters change, and to a limited extent. I have installed a Chinese keyboard on my PC but I can't type 😔 Is there any simple method of using different fonts but only if I can copy text from the translator? I would be very grateful for your help! Thank you! 👍
  16. I don’t think it’s a bug because it has been around as long as I can remember. See the attachment to see it in action. When working with text, if the cursor leaves the center of the screen, the document zooms to what I believe it thinks is the place that the text should be focused. It is never in a place that is helpful and is in fact quite disruptive to workflow as I then have to reposition the screen to continue working. This also happens when zooming on a text box. This is VERY frustrating. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks IMG_0017.MP4
  17. I'm new to Affinity and this forum so apologies if this has been covered before. I'm trying to add text to a photo using the ellipse and frame text tools in Photo. However, when I drag the frame text tool into the ellipse and click left, the fill colour disappears. How do you retain the fill colour? Thanks in advance..
  18. I think this is better in an own thread. All the best, Chris
  19. Please add an Envelope Distort Feature, A function that lets you warp text and shape paths
  20. I am having trouble editing text once it's created. I've tried everything. I can easily do this on the iPad app but on the desktop whenever I selet the text tool (Either artistic or frame) it only opens a new text option and refuses to select the previous text. File was created in Affinity designer. It is the default file type. Text layer isn't rasterised. Is this a feature that isn't yet available on desktp? I am editing a recipe post and I definitely need editable text.
  21. I type out text using the Artistic Text or Text Frame tools, then double (or triple) click and proceed to highlight the text that I want to make adjustments to. The only problem is, I can't see what I've selected because the text doesn't become highlighted! I could still make edits, but it takes alot more time if I am moving quickly and don't put my cursor where I think it should be. Any help? Affinity Designer 1.6.1, Mac 10.13.3
  22. Hello, I really need this feature for a project. How to make a text link to a url with AD? Is it possible ? If not, do you know an other way to put it ? Thank you. Regards. Bilel
  23. I use quite an exotic language on my devices - Polish - which belongs to the quite large group of languages unsupported by Affinity. That wouldn’t actually be a problem for me if not the auto-correction feature - which is not synchronized with the system-wide auto-correction, because my system language is Polish and when using text tools Affinity always mark all my Polish words as wrong . And again that wouldn’t be a problem (until I do some orthographic mistake) because auto-correction can be easily switched off in text tool settings (Check spelling while typing) but the problem is: if I turn it off in one document, it reverts back on when I close the document and enter it, or any other again. So the result is: always when I enter a document with text I’m welcomed by unfriendly red squiggly (unless I design something English) I tried using both “English” and “Default” setting in language option in Designer’s settings.

  24. Hello It would be a super helpful feature if you could place texts in a shape like in Photoshop (Warp feature). It's cool that you can orient the text on the path, the just mentioned would be even better. Greetings Till
