nana93 Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Hello everybody, I'm relatively new to Affinity Designer and Affinity Photo and I'm just sitting in on those very useful programmes (before, I figured out Photoshop as a layman). Now, I want to add linear transparencies to one of my pictures on a flyer on two borders but I just can add it on one of the four borders of my picture. Every time when I click somewhere else on my picture, I just can work on one and the same tranparency. Well, is there any possibility to add another linear one on the same picture? I also know, that there are alternative possibilities, e.g. to add a circular transparency or so, but I rather need the linear ones. Thank you!

Staff MEB Posted December 22, 2016 Staff Share Posted December 22, 2016 Hi nana93, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) Group the image layer with itself selecting it and pressing ⌘ (cmd) + G then apply a new transparency to the group. nana93 and Alfred 2 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nana93 Posted December 22, 2016 Author Share Posted December 22, 2016 Thanks so much ... as I'm figuring out all those features on my own I even sometimes get stuck into the basics ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdenby Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Thanks so much ... as I'm figuring out all those features on my own I even sometimes get stuck into the basics ;-) I'm not so sure it is a basic. I've been using AD several hours a day for almost 4 months. Been working w. transparency and opacity a lot recently. Never occurred to me that I could put a transparency gradient on an object, and group it to itself so the group can have another transparency. Way too easy :) Quote iMac 27" Retina, c. 2015: OS X 10.11.5: 3.3 GHz I c-5: 32 Gb, AMD Radeon R9 M290 2048 Mb iPad 12.9" Retina, iOS 10, 512 Gb, Apple pencil Huion WH1409 tablet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way too easy :) My thoughts too. A group of one seems very counter-intuitive, but doing it that way is so much better than rasterizing the first result.

R C-R Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 My thoughts too. A group of one seems very counter-intuitive, but doing it that way is so much better than rasterizing the first result. Me too! I suppose this could be extended to a group of one of a group of one & so on. Mind blown! (Although for me this isn't much of an explosion anymore...)
