Dams Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Hi, Not sure I have seen this feature request anywhere but as a designer, I heavily use this feature. I know you can create styles but it's not the same feature and not as fast as copy/paste. You don't want to save all the FX you create. :) Thanks ! antong, 3joern, Gackt and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted August 14, 2014 Staff Share Posted August 14, 2014 Hi Dams, You can do that already. Just copy (ctrl+c) the object with the style/effects you want and then go to Edit -> Paste Style or press shift+cmd+v All the effects applied to the source object will be copied over to the new object. matisso, Edgar Grim, RhinoRudi and 10 others 13 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rui_mac Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 The problem with that method is that it pastes over, not only the Effects but the style AND the effects. So, if I only want to copy the effects, we should have a Copy/Paste Effects. For example, if I have an object with a red fill and a 4 pt green line and I apply it a drop shadow effect, if I want to copy just the drop shadow to another object that has a gradient fill and no line, it is not possible right now. cchris, BraveBit, keiichi77 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted August 14, 2014 Staff Share Posted August 14, 2014 Yes, it does copy everything. There's no way to separate the object style from the effects applied. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rui_mac Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 There's no way, YET ;-)It should be possible. Hint! Hint! ;-) Busenitz and keiichi77 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted August 14, 2014 Staff Share Posted August 14, 2014 We can do that in Photoshop. Would be useful in Designer as well as in Affinity Photo. Probably Publisher could benefict from this as well! Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edo75 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 With Premiere and Final Cut there is a "paste special/attributes" function where you can choose which effects you want to paste afterward. Why not something similar? Valerian, thedivclass, Lojza and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendrik Runte Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Copying styles would be essential. At the moment I create a user-defined style which then can be applied to other layers, but this is just a quick workaround. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julion Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 For some reason when I try to paste a style on a curve layer it goes from this: .. to this: I wanted to copy the outer shadow from the blue dude onto the pillow layer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netsi1964 Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 It seems that pasting text-styles is not working (as I would expect). For instance if I copy a text element with a 23pt text size, pasting it to another text element will not apply that size. How would you do that? I also tried the "Create style" but I guess I do not understand using that one... Wiredframe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theGrinder Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 I would also like to request this feature add. I'm surprised it's not already a feature. This is a pretty essential tool. cchris 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Andy Somerfield Posted August 21, 2016 Staff Share Posted August 21, 2016 Hi, Photo has a "Paste FX" menu item - has this not made it into Designer yet? Should be easy enough to add if not! Andy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m-b Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 It isn't possible in AP and in AD to copy only layer effects, like a shadow effect, from a vector object to other vector forms, it overwrites also the color of the object. Would be nice to see a feature like in PS, where we can copy only effects to other layers. That's a really important function.

Staff MEB Posted August 21, 2016 Staff Share Posted August 21, 2016 Hi m-b, You're right, there's still a few issues here. I've logged them to be looked at. I've also filled an improvement request to add this to Designer. Thanks for your report. 3joern, Gidgii, m-b and 1 other 4 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MattP Posted August 22, 2016 Staff Share Posted August 22, 2016 I've added this to Designer... and fixed it ;) (It should be noted for full disclosure, that I broke it in the first instance!) *sigh* m-b and Andy Somerfield 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcote Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Hi Dams, You can do that already. Just copy (ctrl+c) the object with the style/effects you want and then go to Edit -> Paste Style or press shift+cmd+v All the effects applied to the source object will be copied over to the new object. Hello MEB and Affinity Team, About this feature, would it be possible to simply Alt-Drag the "fx" icon from a layer to another to duplicate the effect? Also, just moving the "fx" icon should just move the effect to another layer. Photoshop has this feature since a long while. Thanks guys!

MrMesh Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 +1 Also looking to be able to disable all effects via a shortcut, e.g. Option + click the FX icon. Currently there is no quick way to disable layer effects applied to multiple layers. :( BraveBit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattgolfs Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Doesn't work. It shows in the layer column that the effect has been applied but it doesn't show on the object. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to hear that it isn't working for you. I've been using it with the Mac version with no problems (including the latest release but I haven't used it with the last beta yet). Which version are using (Windows or Mac and which release number too)? If you are having problems with it, you should log a bug report in the Bugs thread.

Jeremy Bohn Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I'd like to see this added as well. In Photoshop you could right-click on the FX icon on the layer and choose Copy, Paste or Clear for the layer effects. Clear is also not there as far as I can see.

Brian Jackson Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 +1 Right now I have to take a screenshot of a layer effect, and then copy them manually to a new layer. Really need this feature.

Boldlinedesign Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 When I use Shift-Command-V to copy the stroke effect to another stroke, it works, but it reduces the size of the stroke to a smaller size that is not either the old or the new stroke size. Why would it be doing this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
