jokanaan Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 I purchased AD few days ago, but still cannot figure how to release all clipping masks in imported PDF and select all objects with same fill, stroke, weight, opacity etc. like in Illustrator. And is there any tool similar to Live Paint Bucket? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Bravery Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Hi jokanaan, Welcome to the forum. :D Could you upload the PDF you imported, for us to look at? Affinity Designer is not exactly like Illustrator - PDF files tend to come in as one layer, with all the objects on sublayers and the order of the sublayers appear to be random. Paul.

jokanaan Posted July 27, 2015 Author Share Posted July 27, 2015 todo:- release all clipping mask (Clipping mask - Release in Illustrator)- delete all clipping rectangles (Select-Same Fill/Stroke in Illustrator)- texturize- colorize- add trees, plants, etc.- fine tune shadows, lights etc. example.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted July 27, 2015 Staff Share Posted July 27, 2015 Hi jokanaan, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) Select the layers that have clipped objects. click on the small arrow on the layers panel to expand them then right-click the clipped object inside and select Release. You can also simply drag it outside of the parent layer in the Layers Panel. You will then have to delete the empty layer.

AntonVerwey Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Is it possible to have two or more images open at the same time? This will allow me to copy from one image file to another directly. In PE one can do this by arranging / tiling different windows each associated with a different file. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted July 27, 2015 Staff Share Posted July 27, 2015 Hi AntonVerwey, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) Yes, it is. Just use File ▹ Open. They will be opened in a new tab. To display more than one image at the same time go to menu Window ▹ Separated Mode. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkellond Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Affinity Photo: In the second tutorial on layers the GUI (graphic user interface) is in a different display or configuration mode, but no explaination was made as to how the change was affected. There are some parallels with Photoshop as to most comon macros, but a short explaination of that could pay big dividends and reduce related questions as to GUI configuration. I suspect once you have it configured you can save the workspace in much the same way that other program does. Thanks from all the people who have been wondering about this same question, but have not thought to ask. Yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted July 27, 2015 Staff Share Posted July 27, 2015 Hi tkellond, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) Maybe you're referring to a different Persona? You can change them using the icons on the top left of the application interface. If you post a link or the exact title of the tutorial and the timeframe you're referring to i may be able to help.
