Bynah Posted March 13, 2022 Posted March 13, 2022 I want to save the FX , outer glow that I applied to a paragraph in the assets panel. But It saves the text as well. I want to be able to apply that outer glow to other paragraphs in my document without the text. Also, How do I save a color that I have selected to the swatches so I can use it again? I am using Photo and Publisher, thanks ahead. Quote
Bynah Posted March 13, 2022 Author Posted March 13, 2022 Or maybe it should be a style. But I still can't find how to save just the effect, the outer glow. Quote

You can organize your own color in Document swatch. Add the color you want to keep by clicking the button next to the swatch category. Quote

For a style ... screencast-style.mp4 Afterwards perform a right mouse click on the newly created style in the Styles panel (Style 4 in my above sample recording) and rename it to let's say "Outer Glow" or the like!

Can I do this in Photo or in Publisher? I have mainly been working in these. Haven't really gotten into Designer yet. Quote

Yes, AFAIK all Affinity apps have styles support and thus can deal with those then.

Bynah Posted March 13, 2022 Author Posted March 13, 2022 I tried following the video of v_kyr but when I try to apply it to text, the stroke shows up as well. I just want the outer glow. Quote
