  1. Hey Serif staff I've had good use of the knife tool and I almost always use it with guides. Unfortunately, the line that the knife tool cuts along is drawn with the exact same blue colour as selected objects and the default colour of the guides, so I think you should change the knife tool colour to... red maybe. And before I suggest it, yes, I know you can painstakingly change the colours of the guides from document to document; that's not the essence, it's that I'm suggesting a usability improvement that always benefits everyone. 📐🤙🏻
  2. I "placed" an image and tried to practice using the knife tool. I'm new at this. Once I dragged the knife tool across the image, the image disappeared completely. Does anybody know where the image went, and how I can see it again? Affinity Designer V2 on Windows 10 PC. Thanks!
  3. Hi everyone, First off, great work with v2. I'm still getting to grips with all the changes but so far I really like them all. I am an origami designer and I really want to switch from Inkscape to Designer. 99% of what I want is in Designer, and there’s a whole lot more than compared to Inkscape. There are just a few features that are missing and simple enhancements that could really transform this software for me. The biggest one, and this is something that I’ve seen requested going way back during v1, is the ability to change the step angle when transforming. In origami design a lot of it is based on 22.5 degrees and in Inkscape there’s the ability the change the steps to 22.5 degrees. This means if I want to rotate a path or object by 22.5 degrees, I can simply hold shift and rotate in 22.5 degree increments. At the moment I’m constrained to 30 degrees which isn't what I need so I have to use the transform window. This does work but is cumbersome in comparison and not as efficient. Even more useful to me would be if the same feature were introduced to the pen tool so that I could draw a path and constrict it to a multiple of 22.5 degrees. This is a big one for me as when I draw instructions, I may have 100+ paths per step and if I have to draw them horizontally and then transform, I waste so much time compared to being able to draw them correctly in the first place. I presume/hope this would be an easy feature to implement with something like a sliding bar or box where you enter the step you want to use for transforms/drawing. It would save me so much time for sure! The new vector warp tool is fantastic. It would be great if there were an enhanced version of the perspective warp where instead of using the four corners of the bounding box to transform the object, the control points would be the corners of whatever shape was selected. So for a pentagon you would have 5 points which you could control instead of the current 4. It would work very similarly to the node tool but apply the transformation to all objects within the shape group. This may be a niche request but for origami design it’s quite common to have an irregular shape with many paths grouped together. Being able to distort them all at once would be a game changer. The knife tool is a great addition too. Would it be possible (or is it already possible and I’ve missed it) to enable snapping to existing nodes? So if you wanted to cut a triangle in half straight down the middle, you could easily snap to the top corner and cut a straight line from there. Thanks! Max
  4. Hello, I was wondering if it existed a simple and quick way to cut a bunch of stokes a a time (strokes that have only the to extremes nodes). So far, the only way see to do it is to selecto stroke per stroke, create a new node in between, then separate curve... that a bit long 😬 Am I missing something? Thanks!
  5. Good Sunday everybody. I need help since I cannot get through a shape cut in my current job. I made a bitmap to vector conversion with InkScape. I am in the need of creating various layers starting from the big shape created by the conversion process so I'll be able to modify them easily. I made a screenrecording. Thank you in advance.

  6. Hello, ...yes, i’m just another guy asking for features… But i’m just trying to help to make AD better. Please consider to implement asap this tools in Designer because: - Knife tool: It’s not possible to cut groups in a fast way. (yes we can perform compound operations but only on one object at a time...) - Links: It’s a must for all the designers since most of the time we work with images in low resolution (to be fast and light) and for the final work we replace the pictures in the link folder for Hi resolution ones. - Roughen effect on a VECTORIAL line (Smith, hard, regular, irregular). this is soo needed!!! (Also, if possible, (like in old FreeHand: Fisheye, fractalize…) - Blend tool……. (Waited and promissed for so long) - 3D perspective. (Yes we have now the isometric grid, but as it says, it’s isometric, doesn’t have perspective). And related: - VECTORIAL “envelop” distortions. (at least, if we already had this tool, we could import a 3D grid (from a 3D software, blender for example) and adjust the perspective... - Option to remove one guide directly hitting the delete key because: We designers like to use big artboards and lots of sketches inside the artboard. It’s not practical to zoom out every time we want to remove a guide!… And, if not asking too much, the possibility to create a guide after a vectorial object (Like FreeHand used to do). And, the possibility to lean the guides (like in corel). Thanks! Please, let's make this software a really alternative to illustrator! Because at the moment it’s not. I still need illustrator to perform this tasks above. Thank you for your time, Best regards, Jorge
  7. I'm a recent user of Affinity Photo and I'd like to submit and place in my vote for an automatic knife or slicing tool. Basically, I'd like an ability for an inverse panoramic stitching. For example, in Photoshop, I can use the Knife Tool for the following working example: 2160 x 1350 Pixels Using PS's Knife tool, I can right-click and slice up the image into (2) pieces of equal 1080 x 1350 images. Finally, using PS's "Save for Web," I can automatically export this onto my Desktop and upload to my Instagram to create the seamless panoramic diptych. In Affinity Photo, I have to manually slice and position. Please see the screenshot. With some simple math for perfect alignment and drag/drop. It's doable, but takes some effort and manual work. In an imaginative working scenario, I'd like AP an option to automatically create slices. In the screenshot, example, remember that my image is already sized 2160 x 1350 pixels for seamless panorama on Instagram's album post. I would simply enter 1 row and 2 columns for the automatic slicing to take effect. These slices are perfect and equi-sized 1080 x 1350. When uploading on Instagram's album post—as an example—I'm able to create a perfect, seamless diptych panorama. I do believe that this request for automation is practical tool and usage scenario. This automation is essentially and inverse of the AP's panoramic function. Starting with a image sized at X by Y dimensions and breaking or slicing into equi-sized P rows and Q columns. Another Usage Example: Instagram Giant Squares or Instagram Grid Art Let's suppose that I want to create an Instagram grid art comprising of 12 tiles at 3 squares horizontal and 4 squares vertical, e.g. [4 3] matrix. Each Instagram square will be 1080 x 1080 pixels. Therefore, the starting image has to be 3240 x 4320. You can imagine that the current slicing tool in AP will require work (and time). Manually creating 1080 x 1080 slices and using drag/drop for alignment or using the transform with some simple math for perfect alignment of the slices. Thank you for considering my feature request.

  8. Hi, I saw a video on Youtube about a work around to "scissor off" a part of a picture in AD (similar to using the knife tool in DrawPlus), but the video was too fast for me to follow hos to do it. It appeared that you could draw a curve a cross a shape and the use deivide operations to cut it into two independent shapes. But when I attempt to do that, the program invariably closes the corve I draw which deforms the cutting in an undesirable way. Can somenone explain to me how to do it?Thanking you in advance, Örjan
  9. I am VERY interested in a tool for Affinity Designer that would work the same as the 'Knife" tool in Adobe Illustrator. That is, it would separate and trim complex vector designs. So, for instance, a vector circle could be divided into two vector half circles, both half circles being complete but separate vector objects. So if you needed to trim 100 circles all into half circles, then you could do it all at once, and very quickly. Currently, this ability does not exist in AD, so I have to manually trim all the various vector objects at the edge of a vector drawing. If this is available in AD 1.6 please let me know. If it is coming up, that would be great to know and look forward to as well. Thanks, Rick
