Hi,

I recently bought the Affinity Publisher workbook to help me learn the software. I am working through the picture frames chapter where it explains that I can convert compound geometric shapes to picture frames. The files that accompany the book include the attached example, which is a set of shapes groups together. The book says to select Layers -> Convert to Picture Frame. However, when I select the group of objects (not the objects individually), then Convert to Picture Frame option is greyed out on the Layers menu. It only enables that option when I select one of the shapes.

How do I convert the shapes so that my inserted picture has a cloud-like border?

 

Thanks,

Paul

Hi @techi and welcome to the forums.

You must select the layers in the group instead the group layer. After selecting go to menu Layer -> Geometry -> Add. Then go to menu Layer and select Convert to Picture Frame.
