Mvdarbs Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Hi all, been a very long time since I last posted on here. So I am trying to apply a mask to an image an Image I created. It is a logo using the Union Jack flag and I want to give the edges a distressed look. Being as I was out of practice with Affinity I used the good old University of YouTube and came across this video... I am trying to do the section timed at 12m 27seconds. However... nothing happens when I try to drag the logo into the texture layer. I've attached a screen shot of what I am getting.... in short nothing. I am pretty sure I am making a simple error but can anyone help me out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mvdarbs Posted December 12, 2023 Author Share Posted December 12, 2023 Morning, Thankyou from replying. I’ve tried that but all that happens is my image disappears. I am certain I am doing something fundamentally simple and wrong. All I want to do is create a distressed edge to the image. Big ask but anyone able to give me a step by step guide on the process. thanks folks Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted December 12, 2023 Staff Share Posted December 12, 2023 Sorry to hear you're having trouble @Mvdarbs! Are you able to provide a copy of your Affinity document, so we can offer specific advice? Unfortunately it's had to tell the exact layer structure from the screenshot provided - as the texture layer is currently collapsed and rendered 'hidden', meaning I'm unsure how best to advise currently. Many thanks in advance Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time. Should you require a response from the team in a thread I have previously replied in - please Create a New Thread and our team will be sure to reply as soon as possible. Many thanks!

Mvdarbs Posted December 12, 2023 Author Share Posted December 12, 2023 Hi folks, thanks for the replies but I managed to figure it out. Not exactly sure what I was doing wrong. But all sorted… thanks again. Mark Dan C 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
