Corner Tool

[Susanne Wollatz]

Hi Affinity team,

my Corner tool doesn´t work for pictures .jpg.

I opened Affinity Designer and added a .jpg-picture.

Then I selected the picture and then chose the corner tool. But it doesn´t work.

It is shown that it is a fixed display. But I can´t change this. I already tried to copy the plane
but this also doesn´t work.

If I draw a triangle as in your tutorial, it works...

So what can I do? I want to round off the corners of the photo.

Thanks for help

Susanne

The corner tool works on Vector objects not Pixel layers like the imgXYZ.jpg layer you have selected. If you want the corners rounded use a Rectangle and use that to clip the image. Select the rectangle and use the corner tool.

Your screenshot is almost there, you need to select the bottom most layer and clip the image layer.

what you have:

what you need 

Now with the clipping mask selected you can use the corner tool. Won't work if you select the image layer.

If you created the rectangle with the Rectangle Tool there is no need to use the Corner Tool. You can simply set the Corner Type to ‘Round’ via the control on the Context toolbar.
