Shalom3 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Hallo, in Corel Draw is a very good tool - Contour Tool. See please video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ii--qq0qm6w With this tool is possible to produce gold ;) : http://www.shutterstock.com/pic-311796260/stock-photo-gold-earrings-with-green-gem-set-of-antique-gold-jewel-in-art-deco-style-nostalgic-vintage-patterns-metallic-brass-jewelry-eps-10-vector.html This tool I can not compensate anything in Affinity. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted July 26, 2016 Staff Share Posted July 26, 2016 Hi Shalom3, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) This was requested quite a few times and will be implemented in a future version. Meanwhile you can select the object you want to create an outline for, give it a stroke (use the width of the stroke to control the offset from the original object), then go to menu Layer ▸ Expand Stroke (it becomes an independent object) and then with just the stroke selected go to menu Layer ▸ Geometry Divide to create a shape from each of the stroke lines. Delete the inner shape and you end up with an outline/contour of the original object (the outer shape).

Shalom3 Posted July 26, 2016 Author Share Posted July 26, 2016 Thanks, I look forward to this function. I see, Affinity is created by really good programmers. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGBLASER Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I am slightly amazed that it is still not a part of the program. Every vector based program can do this....even the cheap free ones....Please make this a priority on the feature list, it is a real turn off for me to not have this option. I believe it does exist in Affinity Photo if I am correct ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted July 27, 2016 Staff Share Posted July 27, 2016 @RGBLASER No, Affinity Photo also doesn't have it. What you have currently available in both programs is the Outline FX which will create an outline from the object you have selected, however this is a raster based FX rather than vector based. This wasn't implemented in Designer/Photo simply because there wasn't time/resources to implement/develop all possible basic features for the first release. It should be available in a future update/version. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
