Yohan Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Hi there. I use text tools to write these words. But, suddenly, all text are changed to image. I've attached my screen shot. I want to change the image to text originally. How can I do that? Thank you for your time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 I have never known the software to convert text to an image by itself without some – possibly inadvertent – user action being involved. You may, in some cases, be able to scroll back in the History to a point before the text was converted but you will lose all other changes to the document that were made after the conversion happened. The Affinity applications have no functionality for converting images to text or vectors so it looks like you may have to re-create those text layers.

SPaceBar Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Hi @Yohan Do you remember what you were doing before this happened? It sounds like you have inadvertently rasterised your text. As @GarryP said above - the only way to revert this would be through the History. If you are not in a position to Undo this you would need to re-type it.

walt.farrell Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 27 minutes ago, SPaceBar said: It sounds like you have inadvertently rasterised your text. But that would not make it an (Image) layer, as shown in the screenshot. That would require, I think, either: Importing the text as a rasterized image originally; or In the 1.9 beta, a combination of Layer > Rasterize and Layer > Convert to Image Resource.

Yohan Posted January 7, 2021 Author Share Posted January 7, 2021 Thank you all guys. I think I accidently did rasterize. Unfortunately, I can't use undo. But I can know it why that issues happen because of your help. I appriciate that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPaceBar Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Thanks @walt.farrell I was struggling to work it backwards. I knew there was a combination there somewhere. @Yohan if you do come across this again and it wasn't caused by the steps mentioned above - a video of the issue would enable us to recreate it to see if there is a bug there. 👍 walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
