AndyQ Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 In Designer there is a context button for "add new curve to selected curve" so you can easily build a vector shape from multiple curves. This button doesn't seem to exist in Photo. Am I missing something? It's especially useful in Photo as you can't invert vector masks, so to create an inverted mask you always need to combine two shapes, which entails having to perform Booleans to get the mask you need. Is there some other shortcut to add separate shapes to an existing curve object? Imagine wanting to mask a bunch of separate strawberries in a photo where you need to combine a dozen strawberry shapes....that's a lot of f-ing around with booleans rather than simply drawing more and more separate curves in the same shape layer....

R C-R Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 In Affinity Photo, the Pen Tool has the same "Mode" buttons as does that tool in Affinity Designer, including "Add New Curve to Selected Curve Object."
