Thanks for the links RC-R, sorry, I'm only interested in freebies at the moment. My new computer cost enough, and then there was the apartment repair...

Scrapbooking in Affinity V3.

Hi Alfred, unfortunately, I couldn't find your explanation. I searched for a text outline video on Google and found one on YouTube called "Better Call Fanti" [URL:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TF2gQJV1Juc]in German. He demonstrated it with Vector Studio, but it also works with Pixel Studio. The FX effects panel on the right is the secret ;) I learn better with screenshots; it's easier than translation.

There are many free brushes in the old forum, among them paolo.limoncelli's pencil ones at https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/12021-daub-pencils/&hl=pencils, Craig Deeley's cloud brushes at https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/33260-ad-textured-brushes-cloud-brushes/ , & the Fur & hair brushes by AshTeriyaki at https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/5700-fur-and-hair-brushes/ Just browse through the Resources section at…

[…] Same thing for me on my Mac. Also no crash, just the modified path brush being saved as a pixel brush.

Just to clarify: by "proprietary Affinity images" do you mean Affinity files, rather than real images like JPG, PNG, etc?

Scrapbooking in Affinity V3.

Hi, Today I'm presenting the same exercise as "Old Doors," but in a vertical format. I've since figured out that you can group the photo and frame so you can rotate them together. The homemade round brush was also relatively quick to make, since you can see the size changes immediately. The fabric plaid now looks frayed at the edges, which was the desired effect. I also used a gold brush from DelN on the black paper, but the fine grunge effect was lost due to the reduction in size for…

DelN replied to the thread Is there a bug with the Brushes in Affinity 3?.

[…] Thanks, ÐEKOS, I'll check out the 'pressing D' before I use my brushes... I am using the download version from Affinity, MSI/EXE. Not the download from Microsoft store. Also, I found yesterday that on trying to delete one of my brush sets, Affinity 3 crashes (Windows 11). Apparently, the Mac version is fine.

The official Affinity Photo, Designer, and Publisher forum by Serif is now in read-only mode and serves only as an archive. But the exchange among users, shared learning, and creative collaboration are too valuable to disappear. This new Affinity Community was created as a living space for questions, ideas, and inspiration. By registering and taking part, you help build an independent, active platform where Affinity users can continue to connect. Every new discussion, shared project, and comment helps others find useful content and keeps the community alive. At the same time, many are waiting with anticipation for Serif’s announcement “Creative Freedom is coming.” What it will bring is still uncertain – and that makes it all the more important to have a space where these developments can be followed and discussed together. This community depends on participation. Every voice and every topic keeps the spirit of creative freedom and collaboration alive within the Affinity world – open, independent, and lasting.
