[Create 1x and 2x versions of image with export persona]

Yes, the second item is the name of the output file,

Well, the result is a file with the original name and another with the name 0.5x. This is about as clunky as my Retrobatch script.

It is already clear from the name of the slice that the image will be "2x" larger than the original.

Ah, okay. I missed something simple. I thought that this meant the name of the resulting slice.

[Create 1x and 2x versions of image with export persona]

I'm still using v1 of Affinity Photo.

 

I want to create 2 versions of an image with the export persona. I added a second slice for the 2x image so that I get 2 images:

But the result is totally not useful. I expected the original image and an additional image 50% smaller. Instead the second image is 100% larger. Is this a bug or a feature? How can I make the second image smaller than the original?

[Holy crip there’s still no batch export workflow, it’s still crappled!]

Sigh... as software developer I need to create multiple versions of icons and screenshots all the time. I really had hoped for some improvements on the batch/export features in Affinity Photo and Designer. I have a clunky AppleScript to make the different versions in RetroBatch. But batch/export should be a core feature for the Affinity apps.

[Round rectangle rasterised when exporting to PDF]

Thanks for the information. I don't remember how old the files are. 10 years? I've also edited them with multiple applications.

[Round rectangle rasterised when exporting to PDF]

Thanks, that solved the problem. I just don't understand what "unsupported properties" a simple round rectangle could have.

[Round rectangle rasterised when exporting to PDF]

I'm switching all Affinity Designer icons for my application from png to pdf. Some of the files tell me that they are going to be rasterised. I made a test file with a single round rectangle having a gradient. Why does this simple file tell me it will be rasterised?

I've uploaded the file to https://www.mothsoftware.com/downloads/round_rect.zip .

[Remove margins in Affinity Photo]

Of course.

That's weird.
A Bug Sur big? … er, I mean: a Big Sur bug?

On El Capitan, this setting is stored in ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.screencapture.plist

Yup. Seems so. Going to make another Feedback report. Because they already fixed so many of my bugs.

The trick with the option key uses too many of my fingers.

The macro works fine!

[Remove margins in Affinity Photo]

@carl123: Thanks, I'll try the macro.

@loukash: I tried several times with the Terminal command. I've used in on all versions of macOS that came before BS. TinkerTool uses the same Terminal command under the hood and correctly shows that the shadows are off. And I still get the shadows.

[Remove margins in Affinity Photo]

1. Sure,  h ere are 2 typical screenshots from my application. 

2. The screenshots don't have the same sizes. But the shadow seems to have the same size each time. 

[Remove margins in Affinity Photo]

Hi,

how do I remove margins from images?

For whatever reason my MacBook Air with Big Sur/M1 still makes screenshots with shadow even after doing a Terminal command to get rid of the shadows. Of course, I can remove the shadows manually. But do a lot of screenshots. Therefore, I want to do a macro in Affinity Photo. But I can only add margins and not remove them. Did I overlook anything?

[PDF oddly rasterized]

Thanks for the fast reply. That solved the problem! 

[PDF oddly rasterized]

I'm trying to make some simple path type icons for macOS Big Sur. I've converted my icon to paths only and exported the icon to pdf. However, some paths are shown as vectors and some are rasterised. Why is that and how can I make all paths as paths (sounds odd)?

Affinity Designer 1.9.1 on High Sierra.

[Update error on M1/BS MacBook Air]

Thanks, that fixes the problem.

[Update error on M1/BS MacBook Air]

I forgot to add:

• Designer 1.8.6
• macOS BS 11.1

[Update error on M1/BS MacBook Air]

Hi,

I just wanted to update to Affinity Designer on my MacBook Air with BS/M1. I'm getting an error that Designer can't be updated because it's on a read-only or temporary location. But Designer is on a normal location in the applications folder.

I've got another Mac on an older version of macOS. I'm going to download the new version there.

[psd file doesn't have editable layers]

I poked around a bit more. The file is in "large document format". Do the Affinity apps support that?

[psd file doesn't have editable layers]

Hi,

got a psd file from a designer. While both Affinity Photo and Designer can open the file all the layers show as pixels and aren't editable. Bug or feature?

[Affinity Designer: trim canvas]

Thanks for this very interesting discussion.

I was able to solve my problem by manually resizing the objects. Then I did a resize.

Nevertheless, a "clip canvas" would be helpful. I'll make a feature request. Is there an official way to do such a feature request or should I contact support?

[Affinity Designer: trim canvas]

Hi Gabe,

no, this is not what I want. I want to make the existing vector as large as the canvas without fiddling around. The shadow needs to go, I need to fix the colors, trim the icon to the canvas size. Then I can export 32-x32 and 64x64 icons.

[Affinity Designer: trim canvas]

Hi,

Affinity Designer newbie here - trying to migrate from an old version of Adobe Fireworks to Affinity Designer.

I mostly change icons for my applications. I've got an SVG file which has borders. How do I get rid of those without manually resizing the icon? In Fireworks there was a menuitem to trim the canvas. What is the equivalent in Affinity Designer?

Regards
