EssaEll Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Hey there, the context toolbar of the artistic text function in Affinity Photo is suddenly lacking the stroke options. I can't find an according option in the view / studio settings and there are no hidden elements on right of the context toolbar (no double arrow). Where is it gone and, even more important, how can I get it back? Kind regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EssaEll Posted October 30, 2019 Author Share Posted October 30, 2019 Thanks for the link, @haakoo. Is this something that changed with an update? I could swear I used the stroke tool on text before in Affinity Photo. Perhaps I am confusing it with Designer. Thanks again and kind regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R C-R Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 The text stroke options are now in the "Decorations" section of the Character panel: Click on the line (tool tip name is "cell stroke") to pop up a window that is identical to the Designer Stroke panel: Clicking on the color swatch next to it pops up a standard color chooser window with all the usual wheel, slider, etc. options. Because this is a character attribute, you must select (highlight) the text you want to apply a stroke to for this to work. So as before, you can mix different stroke styles within one text block.
