General Discussion & Introductions / i am without my Docs - Teejay

« Last post by Teejay on February 18, 2019, 01:10:43 pm »

today i lost all my documents it was my fault but...they all went i plugged my external hard drive in knowing i did a full save last month and it was as dead as a dodo
i have a liftime account with pcluod and have synced most of my documents to pcloud
but because it syncs to my documents ...my documents were empty in pcloud cos they were empty on my pc
but
there is a rewind in pcloud and i checked that yes yes yipeeeeee my documents are all there
but
i dont feel confident enough to try it on my own
so i have emailed pcloud and i feel sure they can tell me what to do and how to get my doc back into my pc...
so i am going to be busy re installing all my ad stuff fonts all my textures and my work with ad and  tons more  stuff i cant live without
this is why i am missing in action
wish me luck x

Affinity Designer Beta Discussion / Re: new beta version draggable sub brushes

« Last post by MaryLou on February 17, 2019, 03:38:49 pm »

I will be patient.  It's not something I would ever use - I'm not creative enough for brushes.  I'll stick to vectors but in the meantime, I still want to know.  The brain may be old but it's still inquiring! 

Right now, tuts for the beta would probably not be a good idea because who knows how much something will change by time it's released but once here... go for it, San!

AP Discussion / Re: Foil effect in Affinity Photo

Very nice!  I love it!   Yes I found that you want the grunge brush for the creases to barely shoe before  applying  the lighting.  Foil tiles for use in designer is an awesome  idea.  I haven't tried this in the latest beta so that could possibly be the difference with the gradient.

wow ... i mean wow yeeeeeeeeeeeehaw what an exciting little gem this is i have BIG plans for this one
different colours and textures the lighting tip is AWESOME


loved it Frances  and thankyou for sharing this

i found my AP is not working like your AP

i had a big problem getting the gradient onto the Perlin noise pixel layer
in the end i did it by adding the gradient to the pixel layer then adding the noise ... no biggie but i am slow and it took my 2 decades to think about doing it this way lol

i am very proud to show my foil
this is the very first attempt and i went a little too heavy on the creases BUT this is the first of many
i think i am going to make tiles of foils so i can use them in AD ...
here you go

It's new beta time again!!  Just downloaded new versions of both Designer and Photo.  Just open the programs and they will get you to the beta site.
