Zbigg 21 Posted August 17, 2018 Thanks for reply. Got both, Photo and Designer but for obvious(?) reasons try to get familliar with Photo as possible PS (here: CS5) replacement. I am familiar with sc. 'paper space' and sc. 'model space' per CAD soft analogies but-have to admit-had no idea it may exist in PS. How could I check/verify that oversized layer /in PS?/ ? cheers, My workshop: Win10 x64/LMint x64; AFDesigner, AFPhoto, Adobe CS5, Mypaint, Blender, Sketchup, CAD etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does it bring any enlightment to the real problem? 1 Alfred reacted to this cheers, My workshop: Win10 x64/LMint x64; AFDesigner, AFPhoto, Adobe CS5, Mypaint, Blender, Sketchup, CAD etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
firstdefence 1,121 Posted August 18, 2018 In Affinity Designer you can use Artboards as a pseudo trim transparency. Select the artwork Select the Artboard Tool Under Size: Select Selection in the Artboard Context Menu, which will appear above the artwork and below the main toolbar.

I just only need trim by transparency... cheers, My workshop: Win10 x64/LMint x64; AFDesigner, AFPhoto, Adobe CS5, Mypaint, Blender, Sketchup, CAD etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just only need trim by transparency... mentioned it for all the +1 transparency trim voters for designer to give them a workaround for now. Toltec mentions this in his post prior to mine, I just went into more detail. It would be helpful for you to make a simple design that you would normally do in order for people to try and find a workaround for you or a workflow that would be more beneficial. iMac 27" Late 2015 Fully Loaded, iMac 27" Mid 2011 both running High Sierra 10.13.6 - Affinity Designer/Photo, Publisher Beta 1.7.0.140, Illustrator CC, Inkscape, Blender, Sketchup, Pepakura Designer, MTC, Pixelmator & Pixelmator Pro + more...

firstdefence 1,121 Posted August 18, 2018 Just for laughs... I created a document in Adobe Photoshop CC and a similar one in Affinity Photo I created a simple brush 100px in each app and started with RGB Red (255,0,0) Hardness 0% I made guides that would place the brush centres at X: 150, 300 and 450px and Y: 150px I made 3 brush dots with a single click with the mouse using Hardness 0%, 50% and 100% I then used trim in Adobe Photoshop CC and Clip in Affinity Photo The document size for Adobe Photoshop CC = 481x159px The document size for Affinity Photo = 396x99px This is quite a difference, Affinity Photo crops quite aggressively to the 100% hardness dot but the antialiasing is better in Adobe Photoshop CC and gives a smoother effect than Affinity Photo 1 Zbigg reacted to this iMac 27" Late 2015 Fully Loaded, iMac 27" Mid 2011 both running High Sierra 10.13.6 - Affinity Designer/Photo, Publisher Beta 1.7.0.140, Illustrator CC, Inkscape, Blender, Sketchup, Pepakura Designer, MTC, Pixelmator & Pixelmator Pro + more...
