Question 2

What does the Affinity Designer 'Export Persona' allow you to do that the standard File > Export does not?

Accepted Answer

Define multiple export slices and presets for different elements in one pass

Answer

The Export Persona lets you tag individual layers or areas as slices and configure multiple format/resolution presets exported simultaneously.

Question 3

Which color model should you choose in Affinity Designer when preparing artwork for professional offset printing?

CMYK/8

Answer

Professional print workflows require CMYK color mode so inks are specified correctly for four-color offset printing.

Question 4

What is the effect of holding Shift while dragging a corner handle to resize an object in Affinity Designer?

Accepted Answer

Constrains the resize to maintain the original aspect ratio

Answer

Holding Shift while dragging a corner handle locks the width-to-height ratio so the object scales proportionally.

Question 5

What does the 'Roughen' live filter do in Affinity Designer?

Displaces path nodes randomly to give vector edges an organic, irregular look
