Hi, How to obtain a resolution greater than 400 dpi. It is common in printing to have to make a file at 1200 dpi in Press Quality. How to proceed?

I know how to create vector drawings. Yes ! Making reliefs with curves is usually quite easy, but I do not know about Affinity Designer. A point singularly complicates the thing: the translation into French is often ... a little peculiar. Screen copies or a video would be welcome.

Surfaces are rarely flat. Without going to this prowess Nikola Culjic (it’s a drawing), it is common to have a volume on a round. In the initial example of Word, there is thus an arch that connects each of the parts. How to do?

Use publisher to reproduce Word! Oh no! That one is not to be done. This is a very interesting function. Thanks. This works well for flat surfaces. I do not understand how we do for the curves of the initial image. Here is what it gives for the moment.

I have a client who asks me to do the DTP of his thesis. He wrote it in Word and used Word 3D objects somewhat similar to this one. I guess we have to create the object in Affinity Designer, then import the Designer file into a Publisher container. How to create this type of 3D object with perspective, rotation, inclination, etc.?

Hi Callum. This is, of course, as Mikew recognized, Quarkxpress ! By the way, it's written on the first image. These settings can also be made in Indesign, and in other desktop publishing software less useful to cite here. Uh! How to say? DTP software that does not know how to propose a dictionary of the default setting of spaces, it would be a little like a calculator which would not be able to do the four operations. Each country uses its own typographic rules and a good DTP operator knows how to switch from one to another depending on the origin of his clients. In French, for example, the space after the dialogue dash is adjusted differently according to the book publishers.

I never thought I’d get that far. Yes, in the case of matrix fonts. Where it gets complicated is that in the case of vector fonts, the file contains in the most common formats, the different sizes ( Obviously, since this is the function of these fonts). It cannot, however, combine the different fats, roman or italic versions, etc. in the same file. So the police Garamon in 12 and Garamon in 14 will be part of the vector police, but Garamon 12 bold and Garamon 12 Italic will be part of two different sets.

This is one of many examples. – Une police is a set of glyphs, that is to say, visual representations of characters from the same family, which groups together all the bodies and fats of the same family, whose style is coordinated, in order to form an alphabet , or the representation of all the characters of a language, complete and coherent. – Une fonte is the set of characters corresponding to the same body, fat, and italic characteristics within the same font. For example : Garamond is a typeface (police de caractères); the bold Roman Garamond 12 points is a set of characters (une fonte).

The translation of Publisher into French, and probably into other languages, is a horror. How, where, can we translate the local into our own language, as is the case in the vast majority of modern software? That is extremely important. I had asked this question in the bug part of the forum, but the designers obviously did not realize that their language is no longer the center of the world [as in the 1950s] and that it is migrating to 4th place. In short! We find the mistakes of the translator’s beginner in the way of Google translate which confuses un espace (masculine, an expanse) with une espace (feminine, Initially, a metal rod used to create spaces between words, and, from there, the electronic character), or even laughable: Capitales en petites capitales. There are also huge contradictions coming from: – the different typographical rules in American and French typography, for example the notion of prices totally out of phase, between the two cultures; – and on the other hand the poverty of the English vocabulary with, for example, for the word size there is 18 different words in French for the context in DTP where there is only one in English (size only translated taille), or even (a font) the confusion between une police and une fonte; – and finally word lengths and therefore very lower menu in English, with for example OK in English which will translate Confirmer in French. This brings truncated words into the interface. Let us also not forget the incongruous abbreviations that are used here and there.

The rules of typography vary according to the country and the standard used. They teach: precise widths of spaces for punctuation: ! ? ; : «» = - – —; special character sizes for the exponents, indices, superscript, subscript… For example, how to indicate that the exclamation point must always be preceded by a quarter of quadratin space? Where can we set this?

It only took a few seconds to replace the green blurred background with seeds ! Of course, for the result to be less rude, it would have been necessary to spend a little more time and to take a less wide brush (here flood 7 px, and selection brush 8 px). My graphic designer was right to have me known Affinity (yet it is a fan of Adobe softwares).

The translation of the French version sometimes differs from the original English term. For example, "Flood selection tool" is translated as "Outil Sélection par dispersion"" (Dispersion Selection Tool). A screen copy would be welcome to find out how to add the "Refine" button: see the difference enter the English and French screenshots above.

Oh yes ! It is much simpler. Thanks Pixelpest. How to get the option: Refine?

Here is a blue tit. I would like to divert it and make the green background transparent. GIMP and Photofitre allow us to select a zone of neighbouring colors and replace it with transparent. We can see from the video that it’s not quite perfect, and sometimes we have to adjust the threshold. How to proceed in Affinity? Which software? affinity-crop-01.mp4

There is, in fact, a translation problem with the French version. It's, in fact, easier and faster than QuarKXPress and Indesign. Thank you Dwright. Note a quirk. Indesign says RGB hexa # e2aa00 gives C 12, M 33, Y 100, B 0. Publisher says RGB hexa # e2aa00 gives C 11, M 33, Y 100, B 0 then C 11, M 33, Y 100, B 0 says RGB hexa # e1ab25 then RGB hexa # e1ab25 gives C 12, M 33, Y 100, B 0.

In a document, it is common to use a graphic charter that always uses the same colours. I can’t figure out how to name the colors (to find them easily) and keep them in a palette listing each of their colors with their components… a little like, for example, lists of paragraphs or typographical lists.

Okay. I can see the dimensions of the image by double clicking on the image. Thank you. And to see its scale and resolution?

How to adjust the dimensions of an image with a manually entered value, and its scale (i.e. 45%) and its offsets (i.e. -0.198 and 0,000) ? How do you keep these settings when you replace one image with another of the same size and resolution? Image 1 : Publisher. Image 2 : QuarkXPress with settings.

Thank you, Callum. It is indeed very regrettable. This insufficiency is therefore one of many important things to be corrected quickly.

How to set the default setting for printing PDF pages and not printing PDF boards?

Thank you Firstdefence, and Murfee. The process is more pleasant and faster than the other two desktop publishing reference software!
