Reese Jackson Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Can anyone please help me is there any type of tutorial that shows how to do text like this with the black bg around the text and how it’s two tone color. Also my second question how can I get my lines to be more smooth when I trace something using the pen tool when I use it the lines come out choppy looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff MEB Posted April 3, 2018 Staff Share Posted April 3, 2018 Hi Reese Jackson, Welcome to Affinity Forums What do you mean by look terrible? Can you post a screenshot of the app with some lines drawn so we can see to what you are referring to? Thanks.

Staff MEB Posted April 12, 2018 Staff Share Posted April 12, 2018 Hi Reese Jackson, Thanks for the file. Are you referring to the jaggies on the edges of the continents? If so export the file 4x bigger than needed, then open the exported image and export it again (scaled down) to the original size you intended. This will help to smooth out the edges.
