  1. Saw this from a video from the affinity YouTube channel and wanted to know how this was done, since had asked and someone told me it was brushes maybe but they weren't 100% sure. So I wanted to know if someone knows how to do so and if you could show a small tutorial if possible since I wanted to test this on a project in affinity designer v2 and in affinity photo. Hopefully I put this in the area of the forums to ask for help.
  2. After the 1.6 update, the expand stroke function that wasn't accurate with rounded rectangles before, now is completely broken (see screenshot of a rounded rectangle, circle, and a cog). Upd. It seems to happen only in certain affinity files, not all of them. Regards, Anton
  3. My latest picture quiz round. Tv set created in designer. 20 placeholders inside the TV image for the images. All images converted to B&W and a levels adjustment on the majority of images. I created masks to obliterate the backgrounds in the images to take away the fussy details. in APhoto. designed on an A4 will be enlarged to A3 one per team on the night. Comments on the creation and final (almost) presentation as always are welcome. have fun with identifying the faces. As always I look forward to @William Overington blistering observations which are 2nd to none
  4. 🇬🇧 The current version (v2.4) of AD does not allow you to rename a selection of several layers: if you run the command, it is ONLY the first (at the top of the list in the Layers palette) which is renamed (?!). Too bad, it seems so obvious, this impossibility is very frustrating... but perhaps the extended function will be implemented in the future... In the case where you ONLY have curves to rename and you accept that after this manipulation they become only simple curves, select them all, launch the “Merge curves” command, rename the object of this merger , then run the “Separate curves” command. Each curve resulting from this last command will have the name given above. @GarryP: This is a workaround to rename multiple curve layers with the same properties under the same name. Disclaimer: This won't work with everything. 🇫🇷 La version actuelle (v2.4) d'AD ne permet pas de renommer une sélection de plusieurs calques : si l'on lance la commande, ce n'est QUE le premier (en haut de la liste dans la palette Calques) qui est renommé (?!). Dommage, cela paraît tellement évident, cette impossibilité est très frustrante… mais peut-être que la fonction étendue sera implémentée par la suite… Dans le cas où vous n'avez QUE des courbes à renommer et que vous acceptiez qu'elles deviennent après cette manip que de simples courbes, sélectionner-les toutes, lancer la commande “Fusionner les courbes”, renommez l'objet de cette fusion, puis lancer la commande “Séparer les courbes”. Chaque courbes résultant de cette dernière commande portera le nom donné plus haut. @GarryP : ceci est une Solution de contournement pour renommer plusieurs calques de courbes avec les mêmes propriétés sous le même nom ». Clause de non-responsabilité : cela ne fonctionnera pas avec tout.
  5. 🇬🇧 Hi, in 1970 Bob Moog and Bill Hemsath introduced the Mini Moog Model D, a sound revolutionary at the time and still today. Little tribute to this wonderful machine with these illustrations. I had to “slightly” modify the height proportions so that the whole thing fits in a 5120 x 2880 px format!… 🇫🇷 Bonjour, en 1970 Bob Moog et Bill Hemsath présentèrent le Mini Moog Modèle D, un son révolutionnaire à l'époque et encore aujourd'hui. Petit hommage à cette machine merveilleuse avec ces illustrations. J'ai dû “légèrement” modifier les proportions en hauteur afin que l'ensemble tienne dans un format 5120 x 2880 px !…
  6. 🇫🇷 Hi, below the three keyboards of the brand apple all in vector. Can be practical for tutorials with each independent key. The following typofaces were used: Avenir, SF Compact and SF Pro Display. These typofaces are free of rights. Screen prints are made with characters. To view the many characters (more than 5,000!…) of the SF Pro Display font, the Symbol SF (free) application is very practical, but the Codepoint utility (€9.99) is perhaps more effective with more than 70,000 items!… 🇫🇷 Bonjour, ce dessous les trois claviers de la marque pommée tout en vectoriel. Peut être pratique pour les tutoriels avec chaque touches indépendantes. Les typographies suivantes ont été utilisées : Avenir, SF Compact et SF Pro Display. Ces typos sont libres de droits. Les sérigraphies sont faites avec des caractères. Pour visualiser les très nombreux caractères (plus de 5.000 !…) de la police SF Pro Display, l'application Symbol SF (gratuite) est très pratique, mais l'utilitaire Codepoint (9,99 €) est peut-être plus efficace avec plus de 70.000 items !… MAGIC KEYBOARDS Apple.zip
  7. I did a bunch of edits on dozens of layers, which I then exported as a pdf and also individual images through export persona. During the process, I also made a copy of the affinity file, then continued editing, saved the original project (File > Save), then opened the forked one, edited that, saved it (I was saving the project several times in between my edits, via menu.) Today I wanted to continue working on it, but all my yesterdays edits are gone. I cannot imagine how that could happen, as the time of the files having been modified is the late night time from yesterday, the time after I made those edits. How could they all disappear from both affinity files? I believe that the last edits disappeared only after I finally closed Affinity Designer app, because I switched between the two projects I worked on a few times - I saved one, closed it, opened the other, and the edits were indeed there. They however disappeared - all and on both projects - over night, that is, after I closed the app, apparently. Steps I took: I opened previously saved affinity project A I did some edits on it and saved it by going to the menu > File > Save project I made its copy in Finder under the name B I continued editing project A I exported its layers into a pdf I closed A and opened project B I made some edits, exported the layers to individual png images and saved the project I closed Affinity (there was no warning about unsaved edits, I made sure I saved the project before closing it) This morning I open A and it looks exactly as I left it BEFORE yesterday's edits - all I did yesterday is lost. Same for project B. System: macOS Ventura 13.6.4 RAM 16 GB Processor 3,1 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i5 Affinity Designer 2.4.0
  8. I have created a phone mockup, and placed it into my file. I now want multiple duplicates of my mockup in my file, but change them up a little. Is there a way to duplicated this embedded file without all duplicates referring to the same embedded file? I cannot unembed it because I use it to replace the screen of the mockup. I cannot place it again because I made changes to the mockup for it to better fit in the context of my file. How can I duplicate it without it pointing to the same "embedded file"? Many thanks in advance!
  9. Hello, I noticed that the top rule for placing horizontal guides was not displayed when Stage Manager was activated. Simply disabling Stage Manager makes the rule reappear. I hope this can help you improve your software.
  10. I create most of the Quizzes for my local bowls club and I always l try to make the half time break quiz a bit different. Most of the time I just hash a picture quiz together with no shape of form but I thought of this design for the latest picture quiz. the 16 Box layout and numbers created in Designer. The rest of the work in Photo. I usually just pick images at random but sometimes with a theme. This one has a theme which once guessed makes the quiz even easier.
  11. Below is my list of written tutorials I have done over the years. The first few were done using early versions of Affinity programs but they should still be ok. Some menus may have changed or tools look different but the basics are the same. Also most are for Affinity Photo, but some could be done in Designer. Plus the "Beginners Look at Affinity Photo" ones will pretty much be the same in Affinity Designer and Publisher as all 3 programs have same basic functions.

It may work the same on iPad version but I don’t own one so can’t confirm that it will. It looks at what Styles are, how to make some Gradient Styles and some Styles made from images. Then how to Export and Import your newly made Styles. After that I do a basic overview of a couple of video tutorials I have made in the past. Using the Mirror Filter and the Equation filter to make new images, to then make Styles from. Lastly, another overview of a recent video tutorial, which looks at using the Vector Crop Tool in Affinity Designer to grab sections of an image to then make Styles from. The end of this PDF tutorial has interactive links to all the video tutorials and links to the downloads of all the Styles I have made in these video and written tutorials. https://www.dropbox.com/s/82szaatnflaw8fk/ACTIV8-issue7-Styles.pdf?dl=0 Activ8 issue 8 – Affinity Photo – Make Sketch Image With Just The Channel Mixer A while ago I made an Affinity Photo video tutorial about making a sketch image just using the Channel Mixer adjustment. I thought I’d up-date it slightly in this written tutorial, which can be done in Affinity Photo, Designer or Publisher. https://www.dropbox.com/s/6etmt3am6ljprwn/ACTIV8-issue7-ChannelMixer-Sketch.pdf?dl=0 Activ8 issue 8a – Affinity Software – 4 Creative yet simple ways to use Blend Modes This is a written tutorial update of a video tutorial I did in Feb 2018. They are fairly basic edits and will work best with an image that has a white background. So, I will use one I got from Pixabay, as are the other images used. Links to the video and image are in the written tutorial. The video was done in Affinity Photo but this will be done in Affinity Designer but I see no reason why it can’t also be done in Publisher. https://www.dropbox.com/s/sluebvjl86nuk8e/ACTIV8-issue8-Four-Uses-for-Blend-Modes.pdf?dl=0 Activ8 issue 9 – A Beginners Look At Affinity Photo part 1 Looking at opening images and saving your edits. Plus, file formats also a look at the Layers Panel and Colour selection Although tutorial is for Affinity Photo all will work pretty much the same in Affinity Designer And Publisher https://www.dropbox.com/s/7ztaxn4siom7evd/ACTIV8-issue9-Beginners%20Look%20at%20Affinity%20Photo%20pt01.pdf?dl=0 Activ8 issue 10 – A Beginners Look At Affinity Photo part 2 Looking at opening and setting up a new document other than an image. The Brush Tool and changing the Brush Tips. Then looking at the different types of Pixel and Vector layers you can make. Layer Masks and their use. Plus, a quick look at Text and Shape layers and the Glyph Browser. As with part 1, most (if not all) of the information in this tutorial will work just as well in Affinity Designer and Publisher as all 3 programs are so similar. https://www.dropbox.com/s/kourodnfojwq26l/ACTIV8-issue10-Beginners%20Look%20at%20Affinity%20Photo-pt02.pdf?dl=0
  12. Hello, just here the pleasure of sharing graphic covers of 33LP vinyl covers of some of my favorite musicians in the form of high resolution wallpapers (5120 x 2800 px) saved in .PNG... I hope you will like it... 😉
  13. Hi have a couple of issues around my workflow for creating repeating patterns. For this I need to align objects to specific points or rotate translate objects around specific points. 1. For vector fill tool, is there any way to set the tolerance? I can't find any in the settings and even a tiny pixel level gap results in the tool refusing to fill the shapes. Yes I can workaround this by constructing lines that go beyond and overlap but that will also mess up the repeating pattern.. 2. For snapping, is there any setting where I can limit myself to snapping to only the nodes? i.e I want to snap one line to the end of another line, but with 'Snap to object' enabled, I could snap to the line itself (which is great in some cases) rather than the end point. Is there a toggle available where I can only snap to node/vertex? 3. My eyesight is not great as used to be, is there any settings where I can change the colours or the thickness of the helper lines that appear when I click and drag to align objects? This is the setting I am using for snapping
  14. Hi everyone, I recorded this quick tutorial on how to draw the Celtic Knot in Affinity Designer. I hope you guys find it interesting.
  15. Not sur if this is a bug or a normal behavior. Software : Affinity Designer 2 Beta 2.3.0 (2165) My document hasn't the Transparent Background box checked on its settings window (see attached image). But when I export it in .png format using the export persona the background IS transparent. If I export it in .png using the File -> Export menu, the background IS NOT transparent (but white) as I would expect. If I export if in .pdf format using the File -> Export menu, the background IS transparent. So I'm a little confuse about it. This is a behavior I have on every files and for many time. It is anoying because I always have to put a white rectangle on my documents. Maybe I'm just misundertanding something ?
  16. I see that all Alignment options are greyed out in version 1.8.1. In this case i'm trying to align the text to the margin.
  17. The plural of "rabbit" is "rabbi", right? Well anyway, here's an illustration I did for my wife (the rabbit fanatic...we have owned as many as 7 at one time!) Done in AD v2.3.1, with a few trips to the Photo Persona and Affinity Photo for some filter effects. I created two Artboards in AD so I could create different versions. Hope you like them. Cheers.
  18. I’m having some difficulties with touch gestures on iPad, but I’m not sure if it’s me, or a bug, or if the gestures are changing? Basically, a one-finger touch modifier seems to no longer work. In the video below, a one-finger touch should constrain the proportions of the square, instead, it takes two fingers (plus there’s that weird resizing glitch that happens sometimes). The odd thing is, sometimes one finger will work, or sometimes two fingers doesn’t work either, but a three-finger modifier works. Sometimes none of them work at all, it’s really inconsistent. With the Pen Tool, when I use a one-finger modifier, I can see the point change to a cusp for a second, then revert back. A two-finger touch modifier will consistently change a smooth point to a cusp, but it won’t constrain the control handles to 45 degrees. However, a three-finger modifier will now both constrain the control handles, and edit the nodes. Am I doing something incorrectly? Is there some setting I may have accidentally changed? Or is this a bug? I don’t use a screen protector, and I’ve cleaned any smudges off of my iPad screen, so I don’t think there’s anything interfering with the touchscreen responsiveness. Plus, other touch gestures, like undo, work perfectly. I’ve also tried force-closing the app, restarting my iPad and turning off Hover, the results are the same. The video is version 2.0.4, but this also happens in the Beta (1736). M2 iPad Pro 12.9”, 256GB, iPadOS 16.4 IMG_6950.MOV
  19. Hi everyone these are some styles i created for use on individual letters , hope there good enough for everyone to find a use case for them. this is my first go at creating styles it is a 148.59MB DOWNLOAD. S.L_LETTER_STYLES.afstyles
  20. Today I've finished creating designs for Pajamas for some of the Characters of the Animation Short I'm currently working on. Happily used Affinity designer to create these designs!
  21. I want the Space Bar to invoke the Move Tool and to never invoke the Colour Picker, how to I disable the Colour Picker from appearing when I am using Space Bar to move? I have tried to search the settings and keybinds but Colour Picker is set to the key "i" for India and I am unable to find other setting related to this. Problem: I am experiencing an annoying bug or feature (I am not sure which) where when I use the Space Bar to use the Move Tool it sometimes brings up the Colour Picker instead. This is unpredictable, seemingly random, and totally disrupts my workflow, sometimes inadvertently causing me to change colours. As you might imagine, this can cause major problems on a complex design if the mistake is not caught. EDIT - FIXED: Error was caused by Alt key mousedrag, which is an alternate Colour Picker shortcut that I was accidentally catching on this particular keyboard.
  22. Oh, I hoped we could get rid of this annoyance (semi-bug). When you enter a value, for example a numeric value in stroke width field and then hit enter, that field keeps selected, so if you press P or V or M for any other tool in enters that letter into the field, see Gif below. You need to click anywhere or click the tool to deselect the field. These "little things" are not so little when they happen so often while working.
  23. Latté anyone? Curious to see if I could realistically replicate latté-art. Created with Designer v2.3.1.
  24. Is there any option to resize multiple diffrent object at once in Affinity Designer? For exmaple I have 3 diffrent rectangle selected and I would like to change sizes of these rectangles to 20x20 mm each. I couldn't find anything like that in Designer.
  25. Currently when resizing a selection, the selection resamples the nearest neighbor outside the selection. The result is that a resized image that has edged that have been feathered or blended into a gradient due to the algorithm used to resample when stretching the image. I'd like to suggest that the move tool gains an option to select the type of sampling algorithm used, with one option be none, to permit the creation of variegated flood filled rectangle based upon selection without the feathering/blending effect or utilizing a different sampling algorithm. This feature would be applicable to Photo or Design where pixel selections can be selected and transformed. The need for this feature goes as far back as early V1 days - I've found numerous reports of this problem with no suitable solution implemented.
