I find this really difficult. I now have some text outside the shape at the top and some inside the curve at the bottom and I cannot see from what you do to the baseline grid tool how to shift it once one of them is highlighted. You slide something along, but all I have in the baseline grid tool is a colour bar to slide along and it does nothing anyway. If you could please describe what happens there. It's not just geeks that have to learn this stuff, it's people like me who literally have to copy every step without understanding anything and it's soooo frustrating when there's a bit that's not clear. Thanks.

I tried doing this with dashed stroke and it was not possible. Is there a way to do it?

for me even after i highlight an area only some of it will get filled and the rest wont no matter the options i pick

incredible product, studying it now and every step towards mastering, blows my mind how AD superior AI

Is it possible to addto the choices of stock libraries? I'm thinking Unsplash etc..

Voice is horrible

WOOW!

I love this tool :)

Nice try to copy the smart fill of Corel but only a try not even near equal.

How do you make the coloring as you did?

My iPad Affinity Designer 2 UI looks nothing like this so this wasn't helpful. Shapebuilder tool is missing completely from my UI.

I couldn't drag the rollers😑.

When for Android?

What kind of files were saved in the styles file? I have tried saving as affinity designer files, png files and jpg files. I still can't import the styles? What am I missing. I know it's something small. Please help

How to change the view mode for only selected objects?

How do I change the view mode for only selected objects?

How do we get more expositions like this as in a thorough tutorial that defies the limits of our imagination?

Amazing!

For me, it was not a very good written script: too many secondary and tertiary subtopics, in what I was hoping would be a video on the basic topic of "Artboard", just as the title states. All the subtopics are simply distracting.

The eraser tool structure is crap!

Hey, great tutorial, it would be good to see tracking and kerning also, I noticed (as is often the case) the inside of the radius creates ligatures, where the type touches, its a small point, I really don't want to come across as picky, I've used A***E products since crumbs, PS 1.3, I think? I have just opened this software for the first time and thought...wow, this is GOOOOOOOD

FUCKKK AFFINITY IPAD NOT ADD WRAP TRANSFORM

Wow! that’s how tutorials should be. Very smooth, practical, highly useful and straight to the point. Affinity rocks!

On your page listing Affinity Designer tutorials, you list this video as (NEW 28/03/24) -- Please don't be lazy resulting in ambiguity and confusion - always list your dates with a 3-letter month and a 4-digit year. This will remove all ambiguity, and it's only 3 additional keystrokes. Remember, people in different parts of the world designate dates in a different order than you do.

In Version 2.5, dragging to create a child layer of a parent layer does not produce the three different drop areas mentioned in this video, but rather will only allow dropping on the entire (highlighted) parent layer. This does create the child layer, but I'm wondering if v2.5 has eliminated the other two drop areas?

Good Video. Thanks. It would be even better if you would include (a) the method to share assets among Affinity apps on the same device; and (b) how to export an Assets Category, then import it onto a different device. Also, it would be much better in LIGHT MODE (dark mode is very difficult to see on a tutorial) and using ZOOM so we can better see each panel you're working on. I'm looking at this on a 26" screen (66cm), and all the text on the panels is pixellated and impossible to read. Thanks!

Bitmap fills are well implemented but what we really want is VECTOR pattern fills along with true vector brushes! Also, how to tell if I've scaled the bitmap fill over 100% and start losing detail? Seems no obvious way to tell that.

Why is the center point of the symmetry lines not snapping to any guides or grids?

What exactly does 'snapping' do or allow ? Trying to understand that term.

After six years I understand clipping and masking. It didn't have to take that long.

Is there a whole video on how you made the mushroom?

Thank you. It was suddenly missing and now it's back, thank you. Was wondering what was going on.

Hello, how come mine says "Assets cannot contain embedded documents" whenever I try to drag and drop an image to my assets panel?

Unfortunately, there is nothing more convenient than the Mirror Me extension for Adobe Illustrator. It would be great if similar features appeared in Affinity Designer

The app is fantastic! However, I’m a bit confused about using the term "persona" to indicate workspaces or modes. My first language is Italian, and when I first launched the app, I thought it was a translation error. 😅

Is there any setting i can use to lower the lag when painting in mandala mode?

This is great stuff, but it should really be a live transform effect instead, to be able to go back and keep making changes to the objects if you need to tweak it further.

Wish this worked for me. I do not get centring lines coming up and how does she change to a thicker pen tool line without upsetting the controls? I tried a wonky one bit by bit, at the end, they would not work in sync at all.

The pacing of these videos is far too fast and you leave out some crucial information. I wish you'd take more time to explain these features and be a bit more thorough.

Every damn time I open this garbage software, it wants to update. Annoying as hell. And the company turned evil, too. Avoid this "software".

Reassuring to see and hear such a well-prepared and delivered lesson. Makes a change from the mumbling, stumbling that you often get.

😮

Amazing information!

Amazing! Designer is so powerful.

Thank you.... don't know why this isn't on the Forum. Looked forever for this.
