gumbo23 Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 I have two images within a single image file, and I need to move them closer together. How do I do this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl123 Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 If you have placed the png file, 1st raterise it then make a seclection of what you want to move, select the move tool and move it Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

walt.farrell Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 What do you mean by "having two images within an image file"? Can you give us a screenshot (including the image and the Layers panel), or (even better) share the actual image file?

Then why not do all the image manipulation in Photo then export it and place the exported image in Publisher. It will remain an image layer not a rasterised one.

v_kyr Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Make a rectangle selection of the signature and copy/paste, that gives you a new layer with a copy of the sig Dismiss the selection Ctrl/Cmd D, select the copied sig layer and move it closer Select the initial image layer, take a brush, pick up/set it to the background color and paint over the old signature portion gumbo23 1 Quote ☛ Affinity Designer 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Photo 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Publisher 1.10.8 ◆ OSX El Capitan ☛ Affinity V2.3 apps ◆ MacOS Sonoma 14.2 ◆ iPad OS 17.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why they asked to see the Layers Panel. John gumbo23 1 Quote Windows 10, Affinity Photo 1.10.5 Designer 1.10.5 and Publisher 1.10.5 (mainly Photo), now ex-Adobe CC CPU: AMD A6-3670.
