  1. In Affinity Publisher, I have unticked "clip to canvass". An item which overlaps the canvass now shows partially, but it is still clipped by something else, or else the visible pasteboard is very small. How can I make it show? RAT1830-A [Powerline output facia].afpub
  2. thanks Dabbler. I can do that with some jpgs, but I don't get the pop up with pdfs, nor with some jpgs. Out of interest, since a jpg is already a rasterised image, why does rasterising it remove the pop up?
  3. Thanks Bruce. The trouble is that just locks the graphic or image completely, so it cannot be resized at all. What I really want to do is see how much more an image has been scaled in one direction than another, so that I can check whether it has been distorted and correct it if necessary. When I said "lock it so that it cannot be stretched" I meant so that it's proportions cannot be changed.
  4. It is possible to scale a picture by different amounts in the horizontal and vertical directions. How can you tell whether a picture is no longer scaled equally? And then reset it? The same question applies to vector graphics such as logos. A designer might accidentally stretch the company logo and not realise they have done so. How can I check the proportion and/or lock the graphic so that it cannot be stretched?
  5. If you draw multiple lines using the pen tool, with the option "add new curve to selected curves object" selected, you get a single object consisting of multiple lines. You can then only change the characteristics of all the lines together. How do you separate them into distinct objects so as to change the width or colour of each line separately? I expected to be able to "ungroup" them, but that option is greyed out.
  6. Thanks Merde. Opening the file in Acrobat and saving it enabled Affinity to open it. phil_r, can you explain how you open a file in preview?
  7. I too get a "could not be parsed" message when trying to open pdfs which I have scanned. Photoshop CS4 can open them but none of the Affinity products can. Scan can't be parsed.pdf
