yes tahtas exactly it - my artboards are all blank...

I have 144 pages and i need to create the same margins on every page. How do i apply what is on one artboard to all the other artboards? Thanks, Jess

ok thank you. Is there any way to turn off anti- aliasing? Im a print designer and need edges to always be crisp and stay as a solid colour for screen printing. I literally never want anti-aliasing on... //J

i used the rectangle shape tool. After re-sizing a few times it gets this strange edge. Then even when I undo the re-sizing the edge doesnt go away. geos.afphoto

The attached file is where two corners of two squares meet - one navy and one white. When i draw a square in affinity photo there is a blurred/semi transparent edge. how do i stop this? It seems to appear whenever I scale the squares. Thanks! Jess

I have completed 1-4, however step 5 im a little confused. I have pasted style, the repeat has gone into the rectangle and is stretched. Is this correct? (see screen shot 1 ) step 6- if previous steps are correct, i come to activate the fill gradient tool and disable maintain fill aspect ration, but there middle handle is already in the centre, and point 7 refers to the right handle, however I dont have one... only left and top (see screenshot 1 also) then point 8 requires double clicking the top handle but that isnt doing anything... i have attached a screenshot of my gradient fill settings in case something is wrong there! Thanks Jess

Hi Lee, Selecting the maintain fill aspect ratio doesn't seem to be doing anything... I must be doing something wrong or have some settings wrong maybe... Below I have tried to explain what im doing and tried to show what is happening! The box is filled with a colour, I click on the 'maintain fill aspect ratio' button, select bitmap from the dropdown, then select the png file and it fills the box but it is way bigger scale.... I don't understand! the png and document are both 300x300 resolution. I have attached two screenshots. On the left hand side of both screenshots is the png, and the red box is what i am wanting to fill. You can see the scale that it then fills with in the second screenshot. Any ideas? //J

I didnt realise the file in affinity designer was in pixels, and the original file was in cm, created in photo. When i changed the designer file to cm it was as it should be!

Hi, I am trying to fill a rectangle with a png, but at the same time I need to maintain the exact scale of the png. I have been able to fill the rectangle but cant figure out a way of maintaining the exact size of the repeat. Can you help!? Thanks

PLEASE IGNORE... I AM BEING A MORON.

When I am exporting a tiff or png file from my affinity file it seems the dimensions of the tiff/png are bigger than the AF file dimensions... why? Thanks! Jess

ok will do, thank you

300x300

I reduced the file size and then i was able to export as a psd... maybe just that my mac is getting to be a bit old for design purposes... Sorry that its something on my end, thank you so much for your help!

yes i have tried rebooting and it is still doing the same thing...

it seems to be file specific. i created a new document and it was fine. im using a mac. and yes, I can export as png's, jpegs adn tiff files.

Whenever i choose to export as a psd, before I am able to actually export my document affinity photo just quits and then i get a message saying that it quit unexpectedly. What is going on!? if anyone can shed some light on this that would be great. Thanks. Jess

So I guess I dont understand if there isnt a way to save a cmyk file as a PNG why the pattern mode in infinity only allows you to use PNG's... or is there another way to add patterns without using PNG's?

im so useless with computers. Forgive my stupidity but I tried to save a PNG as cmyk and i couldnt, it would only let me do it in RGB... but yes, my affinity designer portfolio is in cmyk. Should I change the portfolio to RGB? or is there a way to save a PNG in CMYK?

apologies but I cant seem to upload the file... the screenshot of the error is below. Can i send it to you another way? Thanks Jess

Hey guys, I am having issues when filling a square with a pattern I have made. When I open the PNG in the file it is the correct colour. However when I fill the square with the PNG in the same file it seems to change the colour of the PNG. So for example, a print with a red background when opened using affinity designer (PNG) is the correct colour. However when I use the gradient tool to fill a square with the pattern it becomes orange. Im trying to update my portfolio and this is a bit of a nightmare... perhaps there is an easy fix that I'm not seeing! If anyone can help i would really appreciate it. Thanks!

Hello, I'm also a newbie when it comes to affinity... I am trying to move my layers so my pdf exports correctly, however when I move a layer up or down, whatever is on that page disappears... can you help?? Thanks!
