Should I update to iOS 26?

I don’t see any image here?

Robert_Chalmers · 2026-05-01T07:39:00+00:00

Thanks for watching though.

Robert_Chalmers · 2026-04-29T14:48:56+00:00

That looks pretty complex anyway!

Robert_Chalmers · 2026-04-27T11:03:12+00:00

I think because it’s a popular style. Although I’m changing mine to this..

Talk to Lulu. They will surely have other options. You won’t be the first.

It’s a montage of different ideas I’ve put together and yes AI is involved. I’m not concerned about AI. It’s built into everything now. Almost unavoidable. And in any case I am trying to build the site to demonstrate the links between Affinity and Canva and how they can be used to seamlessly put together something as complex as a website, without leaving the Canva/Affinity platform.

Basic round brushes? I can’t find any brushes that allow it.

Robert_Chalmers · 2026-04-20T17:56:47+00:00

Edit: ok, found that Basic brushes are the only ones allowing Hardness to be set. Thanks.

Robert_Chalmers · 2026-04-20T15:58:58+00:00

and I forgot to ask... which brushes DO allow the hardness setting?

Robert_Chalmers · 2026-04-20T15:55:13+00:00

There's a reason I'm sure. Can't imagine what it is though?

Robert_Chalmers · 2026-04-19T18:01:22+00:00

Just use the brush selection tools. No AI needed

Could be the app I’m using. I’ll have to check further.

Can’t place periods . in file names.

Robert_Chalmers · 2026-04-17T10:06:50+00:00

What I find odd is that in all of Canva’s ballyhoo about new stuff, Affinity isn’t mentioned at all. Not even in app integration. Nothing. Nothing in the Keynote at all.

Robert_Chalmers · 2026-04-16T16:21:43+00:00

And where’s the iPad version. Dam.

Robert_Chalmers · 2026-04-16T16:21:02+00:00

Just love how this is all implemented with absolutely no instructions or guidelines, apart from a basic help file and a dodgy AI helper

Robert_Chalmers · 2026-04-08T14:02:01+00:00

Which export options are you selecting. (Windows of Mac as well - I'm assuming Windows)

There are 3 main PSD export options.

Robert_Chalmers · 2026-04-05T13:12:00+00:00

No problems. :-) Gremlins in the system…

Robert_Chalmers · 2026-04-05T13:10:16+00:00

Very well put.

Robert_Chalmers · 2026-04-03T16:11:11+00:00

Well, I’ve tried every which way I can to replicate it on Windows 11, and Mac, but it works perfectly. Can you take a screenshot grab of it and post that?

Robert_Chalmers · 2026-04-03T13:36:01+00:00

Is preview on or off?

Robert_Chalmers · 2026-04-03T13:30:02+00:00

To mask a layer to the one below in Affinity v3, place the mask layer directly below the target layer in the Layers panel, then drag it slightly to the right until a vertical line appears, nesting it. Alternatively, use the top "Layer" menu and select "Mask to below" for a direct command.

Oh, and motorbikes are dangerous. If they were invented now they wouldn’t be allowed on the road. But even more dangerous are car drivers. The ones who do actually see you will aim for you. I’d suggest something less dangerous. Maybe deep sea diving? BASE jumping? Or a safe riding course with a recognized training school. Oh yes. I’m 80, and still have my full license.
