  It appears that alone having opened the settings panel and clicked OK without changing any settings fixed the layer synchronization problem. Thanks again.

  @VectorStyler No worries. In that case it's fine.

  Why do fill/stroke colors remember the color type (aka sliders) you assigned to them?

  @pentool Cancel this! If found a menu command in the Color panel's menu: Keep Color Mode! That will make the selected color mode "stick".

  This was my first idea when I suggested that there should be more layout features in VS. In fact, I have no preference : extending the functionality of VS or creating a suite with perfect synchronisation would be equally good. However, for all professionals using VS in their workflow, VS performance should not be reduced. I'd just like to point out that another app seems to be evolving well and I don't know if it's already too late to offer a suite that includes a DP app. I have nothing to add other than what I've already written & I'll stop here as far as I'm concerned

  @Ingolf Thank you for this share! I tried it on my tiny drawn line art and it made super quality traces. Very impressive.

  @Boldline Seems, you found it already But just for anybody else. Upscayle saves the result in the folder where the source image came from. That button "Set output folder" is misleading / does not work. Create a new folder, put a copy of the image you like to upscale into this folder. Scale the image, the result is now also in this folder.

  Using the Image Effects Panel plus a preset that you then alter once applied seems fine. Thank-you.

  @VectorStyler Was really impressed that everything worked so smoothly. I had made that bitmap and VS handled it perfectly. Made a couple clipping masks to control what was shown and then exported it out as a pdf and there were no issues at all on either end of the process. Terrific work!

  @Harry Thanks! I found Mac builds on this website, installed FFMpeg and APNG export is working now. But… I have no control over ppi and looping… I'll try again tonight to make sure I didn't miss some setting. Thanks again.

  He offers a free download every Friday of some extra brushes or other digital assets if you sign up for his mailing list. He sends a code to your email and you can click the attached link and go to his site and enter the code to get access. I think a big reason he offers that is to get eyes on a banner there that tells people that anything sold on etsy that claims to be Frankentoon's is actually fraud. so his loyal customers continue to go to his site instead of getting tricked into buying from etsy. The request to fill out a survey was posted on his site near where the digital assets could be downloaded.

  @gotanidea said in Vectorstyler made the list of top alternatives to Illustrator: @Boldline I also hope we'll see other products from VectorStyler's creator. Hopefully an alternative to Toon Boom Harmony and Adobe Animate Perhaps we can find a way to clone @VectorStyler so he can work on all of these at the same time lol
