Chris300 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Please ! This is a crucial feature. I bought Photo and Designer thinking that sort of operation is Standard in a Software that wants to challenge Adobe. Very disappointing.

Glinkot Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Just came looking for this, and v2.0 is out. The feature list says "Convert shapes to selections" but doesn't mention the other way around. Does it exist? Surely it does, six years after this thread started?

Surprisingly it sort of "does" for quite a few years already, albeit via Publisher only, and it's very "crude". But it may work well enough for a bunch of specific scenarios: Quote MacBookAir 15": MacOS Ventura > Affinity v1, v2, v2 beta // MacBookPro 15" mid-2012: MacOS El Capitan > Affinity v1 / MacOS Catalina > Affinity v1, v2, v2 beta // iPad 8th: iPadOS 16 > Affinity v2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glinkot Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Thanks for the reply MEB. The selection by colour was really accurate when I used it, I would have thought converting the selection area into a path would be the easier of the two parts. Anyway, wait I shall.

MCFC_4Heatons Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 Need this feature, it is so useful, even Adobe Fireworks has it and Adobe haven't updated that for 10 years, this might be a longer wait than we had for the warp features in Designer 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timster87 Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Just changed to Affinity and regret it at the moment. Converting selections to shapes is such a basic functionality in everyday work. Since this is missing, the Affinity Suite is almost useless for me... GeGr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeGr Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Please really add Convert selection into a path, as this is to be regarded as a BASISC FUNCTION FOR WORKING IN DESIGN ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
