Guest Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 This is about Affinity Photo (Desktop version for Mac) 1.5.2 and Affinity Designer (Desktop version for Mac) 1.5.5 If I do have a text with letters next to each other and I am using an a horizontal gradient to color them, when converting into curves (necessary to export for professional printing purposes), each letter will get this same gradient individually, resulting in another visual effect. Thus I will need to fix this, by coloring for example each letter — and it will not look like exactly like the effect I had before converting to curves, because the gradient won’t be as smooth. It would be nice to be able to choose whether the layer effect should be applied on the whole group of layers (in this case, a word instead on of each letter) or on each layer separately. Please view screenshots to see what I mean (1, 2, 3, 4, 5). Thank you for this great application! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutchshader Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 one way you can do this: create text, place a rectangle above the textframe and fill this with the gradiënt. select the rectangle and ctrl-x than select textframe and paste inside ctrl-alt-v. now you can convert to curves and the gradiënt will stay in place.

Dave Harris Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Another way is to use the Fill tool rather than a Filter Effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
