dougkerr Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I note that if I begin to "paint", I get a note telling me that the Assistant has created a new "raster" layer for me, and that I am now painting on it. But that layer is designated "pixel" in the layer management panel. Of course, "pixel layer" and "raster layer" are reasonable synonyms, but the apparently-arbitrary use of both terms could well confuse the user. Of course, I may be missing something! It's my first day with this wondrous thing. ************ A related matter is that I am able to add a "layer" or a "pixel layer", using buttons on the layer management panel. And the two kinds of layers are labeled just like the buttons, "layer" or "pixel layer". But is a "layer" (not "pixel layer") a vector layer? If so, should it perhaps be called that? Or is it something else altogether? And if so, is there such a thing as a vector layer? And if so, how do I make one. Again, of course, I may be missing something!

Chris_K Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Hi Doug Kerr It would make slightly more sense if we used the same term on the notification and for the layer. I'll pass this one along The regular layer is basically a container or group and is more handy for organisational purposes, vectors themselves are usually more individual objects. We've used this terminology for a few years now and most seem ok with it, however if you feel it can be improved then feel free to post a thread in our feature request section Cheers Serif Europe Ltd - Check the latest news at www.affinity.serif.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
