Photo - Editing question...

[Marco Dude]

Hey everyone  hope your all having a great day.

I have small question and hope it wassn't asked before but I had no idea on how to search it.

when I use the pen tool I fill the selection with a colour and ad a fx to it (outline)...
Next I want to paint out a part of the outline but when I do that affinity automatacly apply's the outline again.

I woul really appriciate your help.

Thank you in advance.

cheers,
Marco

Actually I think that Affinity is just doing here what it is expected to do. As you are effectively changing the shape that the FX are applied to then it will continue to place the outline around the shape.

When you say you are painting part of the outline away I'm guessing you mean by using a mask? If so then it's going to do this and the only way around that would be to apply your effects then convert that layer (keep the original as backup) to a pixel layer. You can then use the mask to do what you need.

Hope that helps a bit.

Best wishes,

Mark

You'r right  I made a litle mistake.

When I made the layer in a pixel layer I didn't read the the dialog box wel enough... the presurve fx box was checked... 

My appoligies if I wasted your time... but you didt help me by telling me where I should look because I was looking all over the programm  

Thank you for you msg and best wishes to you to,

Marco
