What is "Make and Expand" button on Affinity Designer


Recommended Posts

HI. I have stuck for almost one day, searching for similar "Make and Expand" button as in illustrator.

If in illustrator, "Make and Expand" button will make the image/object expand it color to fill the pixel, as show on the image below.

If anyone know how to do it, Please help me.

Welcome to the forums @imanudden

Your question would have been better asked in the appropriate “Questions” section of the forums rather than the “Resources” section of the forums as this section is for people sharing resources for others to use.

Posting questions in the “Questions” section is likely to get you an answer more quickly.

A moderator will probably move this thread for you so there’s no need to duplicate this elsewhere.

Hello @imanuddenand welcome to the forums.

You do not say which Affinitty app you are using. There are various solutions to your problem, including the "If I were you I would not start from here" ones.

However, assuming you are using Photo and you wish to fill out the greyed pixels to black, then you can use the Threshold adjustment. Select Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Threshold and move the slider to the right (probably all the way) until all the grey pixels are black.

This topic is rather about vectorizing (… "Image Trace" + resulting curve in the screenshot).

Adjustments including the Threshold adjustment are, of course, available in both Affinity Designer and Affinity Photo.
