Hi Trent, great video. One thing I always recommend when applying FX to objects/Text, is to click the size with object button so not as to encounter any unwanted visual inconsistencies' when and if you decide to resize.

Good point...that is usually best because it keeps the drop shadows and other effects in correct proportion to the text. I'll probably make a video on all the FX at some point and I'll be sure to mention that.

Thanks so much for taking the time to share your knowledge. I've been transferring images to wooden signs, and it has been a while since I used Affinity. Very clear and concise walk through of the basic options using the artistic text tool, answering all the questions I had. Particularly liked that you made it clear these steps are relevant to all Affinity apps.

Cool! I loved the fonts you used for "Catch the Wave". My screen is small so I am not able to read what that font is. I would love to add it to my font collection. Thank you for another great video Trent!

You are very thorough in your videos. learning so much, thank you. I have a design where I need the text to rotate. how can I do that. Basically, best way to describe is draw a line from top left to bottom right, add text to path, but have the text stay LEVEL left to right down that path. basically, rotate the text to be level down the path. I hope I described that good enough. please help

Hi @michaelkich6599, thanks for watching! To make the text level with the line path, you can give it the same rotation as the path. If you made a line from top-left to bottom-right, select that line and then look at the Transform tab. That can be made visible by selecting Window -> Transform. Usually it will appear in the bottom right of the interface. With your line selected, look at the R parameter in the Transform tab (R = Rotation). Then, select your text and give it that same R value on it's Transform setting. Hope this helps! - Trent

@TechnicallyTrent

Hi @noskill1192 ! Are you on some Version 2 of the software (check by selection Help > About)? Those Warp Group effects just should a button under the layer stack. If you are on Version 1, it may not be there yet. I can't remember if it existed in V1. Hope this helps!

Great tutorials! I've learned a lot so far... I had a ?? - would I use artistic text and warp tool to bend it to follow a path for a circle (name inside a circular logo for example) or is there a path tool? Thanks :)
@TechnicallyTrent
6 ай бұрын
Hi @aprildavies9032! You can actually make a circle shape, and then if you select the Artistic Text tool and click on the circle's edge, you can type on the circle. I have a video on it here: kzitem.info/news/bejne/1m2lro2DqH-Yh6Q

Is there a way to display fonts by font families ? like in illustrator.
@TechnicallyTrent

Hi @MsRutwick, Unfortunately, I do not think there is an option for that. When selecting a font, you can choose between All, Recent, Used, and Favorites, but I do not think you can search by families.

Hi @habanero6332, do you know how to install the fonts directly using Affinity? I haven't seen that option and the current Affinity documentation says the only way to install fonts is via the system: affinity.help/photo/en-US.lproj/index.html?page=pages/Appendix/installingFonts.html&title=Installing%20fonts

@@TechnicallyTrent Hi. On the iPad you go to settings. Fonts and install there. I see what you mean re Desktop. However you also go to settings on the desktop and under General, right at the bottom you have a button saying ‘Go to Affinity Fonts Folder’

Thank you so much Trent. I learned a lot. At 8:32, it looks like you quickly changed the fonts of all three text boxes at the same time. Was there a shortcut for this? Or you did click all three and change the fonts, but that section was cut to shorten your video?

I must be thick. How do you find the Mesh Warp Group and put it on the toolbar as you have it in this video. How do you use it in AP all of these are v.2 I looked in designer but I do not see. Thanks, Bob

Hi @bobbartlett8459! The mesh Warp Group should automatically appear there if you are looking the Layers panel. Do you have the Layers panel displayed? In Affinity Photo, you can warp things by clicking the Live Filter button (it looks like the hourglass at the bottom of the Layers menu) and that will have Mesh and Distortion options. Yes, I am in V2. I'm not sure if these features are in V1. Hope this helps! Trent

@@TechnicallyTrent Designer v. 2.5.5 I have the warp group on the toolbar but on your video you had it by the Transform panel. I have the layers panel open but the group is not down by the transform panel on my designer. I have a vector image (pen tool). Not a biggie, I just thought there might be something that Had forgotten. AP 2.5.5 no warp group only mesh warp. I can find in as a live filter or with the layer tool bar on designer. Love your videos. I look forward to viewing them . Bob
