stevieray Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Hey guys, Hope your day is going well. I am at a lost at the moment. I need to make my current pricing menu for my photography on 3 separate pages. Currently I have them all on one and it confuses the customers being this way. I want to make each page look nice but not knowing really where to start. I was thinking of doing a gradient for the back ground for starters. I attempted in applying a gradient and then nothing happen. The base layer was still white. What did I do wrong? I did leave CS6 for you guys seeing how you don't hog all my ram and have faster features then adobe. Then I was thinking of adding a nice border for each page and some small designs on it to make it look flashy. Then save all pages as a PDF to send to clients. Any help you could give would be great thank you! Also I rated you guys a 5 star so :D Hope to hear from you soon! P.S. Also Photoshop used actions and it was a huge help to my workflow. Does Affinity use actions? If not, when? :ph34r: Quote Have a Great Day! www.stevierayphotography.com ~StevieRay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_B_C Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Hi stevieray, you can’t apply a gradient directly to the empty background of your design (or to an empty layer). Instead of attempting that, you would have to create a rectangle of (at least) the same size as your document, use that rectangle as the bottom layer and apply a gradient to it (see my attachment below … it shows the basic document structure). Does that help? Actions are currently not available in Designer or Photo. :( Keep on asking, if you encounter further problems … Cheers, Alex :) Structure.afdesign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevieray Posted November 5, 2015 Author Share Posted November 5, 2015 Thanks ABC that helps, what do you know about actions? Do they have any? That would help me out a lot! Quote Have a Great Day! www.stevierayphotography.com ~StevieRay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_B_C Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 As I added to my earlier post, actions are currently not available in Affinity apps. For Affinity Photo there is a Macro Persona on the roadmap: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/10075-affinity-photo-feature-roadmap/ I am not sure if we will see similar options in Designer as well … hopefully so. Dedicated scripting capabilities would be even better. But please remember, we are talking about a version 1 software with a feature set that is already amazingly large … ;) Cheers, Alex :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
