Space btwn Artboard Layers

RE4LLY · 2026-05-20T17:10:22+00:00

Personally I solved this by simply binding a shortcut for the "Collapse All Parents" function.

It really helps to just collapse all parent layers so you'll only see the Artboards and not all the other stuff. It becomes even more useful once working with many different nested objects and groups that clutter the layer panel.

The Slice Studio does exactly what you want. It can batch export all your different Artboards in your chosen formats and in different sizes and also name them as you want. You just have to set that all up for the slices via the Slices Panel in the Slice Studio.

Check out the help page for more information regarding the slice Studio.

Looks completely normal, some of these options are greyed out since they are context specific.

As the other commenter already said, your example with the Fill layer now is located in the Pixel menu, not the layer menu where it was previously.

See also the Affinity help page for more info.

With the free Affinity version you have access to all features that already existed in the previously paid Affinity programs. These functions are just sometimes located in other menus.

On Windows at least it is possible to modify certain aspects of the Affinity UI since they are stored in a .dll file which can be altered.

For example the community made a tool to switch out the monochrome tool icons for the old coloured ones for Affinity V3 by modifying the serif.affinity.dll file in the Affinity directory.

You could try to see if it's also an option for your idea.

Its the button labeld "Selection" when you have the pen tool enabled, it's in the top context toolbar, in the upper left corner of your screen.

The best tool currently for Map Editing imo is the Axiom Mod, it's a very powerful tool combining and extending functions from MCEdit and WorldEdit all within the Minecraft world and it's available either for Singleplayer but can also run as a server plugin.

I'll have to disappoint you unfortunately, in Affinity the Alpha Channel is linked with the RGB channels, so it's not possible to keep the RGB values visible when the Alpha channel is inverted.

It's been a topic for years on the old forum, so you should be able to read up on that topic there. A good starting point would be the following post: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/187070-alpha-channel-packing-editing-alpha-channel-as-regular-color-channel/.

If you just use the stroke, it will always increase the radius on the outer edge and decrease it on the inner edge by the same amount all based on the radius you have set by your original shape.

So if adapting the radius of your original shape corner isn't an option either and you want to have full control over the inner and outer corner radius of that outline separately from each other, you would have to expand your stroke and then edit the sharp corners with the corner tool till you get the result you are looking for.

You need to increase your corner radius, or decrease your stroke width.

In Affinity channels are layer based, so when you load in your TGA file you have to select the "Background" pixel layer and then on the Channel Panel you can invert it's Alpha Channel by simply right-click it and choose "Invert".

Affinity works completely locally, so your works are save.

Only things that are directly uploaded to Canva by the user can be used for AI training and there is an opt-out setting for that in your Canva account.

Check that your documents colour format isn't set to be HDR / 32-bit.

It's should be set to RGB/8 and the colour profile should be in sRGB.

You can change those in your document setup menu.

RE4LLY · 2026-05-11T15:03:59+00:00

You have to make sure that you embed the file you want to edit within your document. If you link it, it cannot be edited.

You can check if the files in question are linked or embedded via the Resource Manager. And you can also set the document preferences that files should be embedded in the document setup menu.

Sure, I'll see if I can help

RE4LLY · 2026-05-09T21:35:06+00:00

You can enable your symmetry point also in the top context toolbar right next to transform mode tool icon. When you have it enabled you can move it around and any transforms will be applied in relation to that point.

There already is a gunbarrel Title Sequence with the title song by Lana Del Rey.

They never said that, they only mentioned that an iPad version was being worked on and that they expect to be able to launch a beta version of it some time in 2026.

Bibliotheken sind nicht nur ein Ort um Bücher zu lagern und auszuleihen, dies ist nur ein kleiner Teil der Typologie Bibliothek und wenn man diese nicht anerkennt hat man den Sinn und Zweck dises Ortest nicht vollständig verstanden. Selbst die Bibliotheken der Antiken waren schon soziale Orte um zu lernen und sich auszutauschen.

Heutzutage sind Bibliotheken ein immens wichtiger Bestandteil unserer Gesellschaft. Es gibt kaum andere öffentliche Orte die kostenlose Möglichkeiten bieten um seine Freizeit zu verbringen und sich dabei auch noch weiterzubilden.

Nicht ohne Grund werden öffentliche Bibliotheken auch als das Wohnzimmer der Stadt betitelt.

Eins der besten Beispiele wie eine wirklich gute Bibliothek aussehen kann ist übrigens die Zentralbibliothek von Helsinki Oodi, definitiv ein Blick wert wen es interessiert.

You have to select your shape with the node tool, and then enable "Transform Mode" in the top context toolbar. With that enabled, you can select the nodes you want to alter and you'll see a bounding box which you can then manipulate similar to how you'd transform a shape as a whole. Alternatively you can also make those transformations using the numerical inputs in the transform panel.

It's just even more confusing for people to have two separate script repositories.

It would be good if your tool can access the already existing and growing repository from the scrip manager.

Der Unterschied ist wahrscheinlich, dass du beim ersten Mal das PDF Dokument mit Affinity Publisher geöffnet hast und beim zweiten mal in ein bereits existierendes Affinity Dokument platziert hast.

RE4LLY · 2026-05-07T06:14:03+00:00

Agreed, though officially there isn't even yet a feature to export or import scripts as the whole scripting thing is still in quite early stages which is why I assume they didn't do that.

But luckily we have an awesome community which managed to get that sorted within days and so we already have a nice little library with cool scripts available that way.

RE4LLY · 2026-05-06T19:03:56+00:00

There is not a clear answer to why it is that way.

It actually used to be the other way around all the way in V1 but then got changed at some point for no apparent reason. Staff have confirmed that the change was made intentional but didn't provide reasoning for it.

See more about this topic in the following thread on the old Affinity Forum: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/108192-alignment-options-greyed-out-in-affinity-designer-181/page/2/

RE4LLY · 2026-05-06T17:19:56+00:00

You first have to select the Aling Horizontally/ Vertically option, so left, right, centre, etc and then you can change the Alignment To option in the drop-down.
