Hi robertpastrana, I also think it has something to do with which layer is active. They appear to relate to the bounding boxes of each square object. I'm not at my Mac to illustrate what I mean but I'm sure that someone else will have a better explanation. I guess the main point is that if the lines do not print or appear in an exported PDF, then it's nothing to really worry about. Paul. -
Hi robertpastrana, Welcome to the forum. :) That line shows up when your pointer is hovering over (mouse-over) an object in your file. Hope this helps. Paul.

Hi ricardoB, You are correct, the current Beta is a preview of the next update. Paul. -
Hi truegold, Have you tried resetting AD by holding the Ctrl key when opening the app? Hope this helps. Paul.

Hi Mike, Have you tried printing the PDF with the hairlines & does the print show them? It may just be a "PC thing"!

Hi caum, I am from a Pre-Press/Graphic design background for print & packaging. At work, I use InDesign for page layout, Illustrator for vector drawing & Photoshop for image editing. It's been a very long time since I placed EPS files into a working document, my favoured workflow includes links that are a mix of any or all .ai, .pdf & .psd format — InDesign supports the transparency that is used in those file formats & allows for making some of the files' layers invisible or visible when placed, regardless of the linked files' own layers visibility settings. As a result, I have not had the need for EPS files, either vector or raster, in a very long time. On the occasion that I have to download a stock vector EPS, I usually find that it has a white background that needs to be deleted & is RGB, so I end up correcting the file & saving it as a .ai or .pdf file to be used as my linked file in InDesign. Paul. ;)

"But every time that I try and export any output I get the "boing" sound indicating an error of some type…" BTW, that default sound you get is the same for me, I get a "ding" though! I just ignore it, after seeing complaints on various threads, I guess the devs will track it down & squash it eventually. ;) Paul.

Hi Richard, 1. I've reduced your original file to 25% of the original size at 300 dpi. 2. I used the Customer Beta of Affinity Designer (1.3.5.2) for this exercise, it runs alongside the Mac App Store version without interference. 3. I exported the file to a flattened eps file & opened it in Inkscape to verify that it imports OK into another app. Affinity Designer file & exported eps attached. Cheers, Paul.

Hi Richard, That's cool. It may also help to make sure you export to flattened eps. Cheers, Paul.

Hi rap2000us, What type of device are you wanting to print to? The resolution & document size is not compatible with Adobe PDF or print standards, it would probably be best to make it a size that's a quarter of the original, when it's 300 dpi, & tell the printer to output at 400% scale. Paul.
-
Hi rap2000us, Are you using the Mac App Store, 1.3.5 version or the Beta, 1.3.5.2 version? I have both & I am experiencing problems with your file. I have two questions for you, is it necessary to have a transparent background & is it necessary to have 'placed' (embedded) files on each layer? I am still experimenting with your file, also. Paul. :)

Hi Alex, Correct me if I'm mistaken, but rather than using the raster_brushes.propcol file, have you checked the Brushes pane in Pixel Persona for the imported brushes? If they are not there, then the .ABR files can also be imported into AD & used in Pixel Persona. Paul.

Hi Uvinnie, Welcome to the forum. :) I have imported ABR files from PS CS5 into Affinity Photo & Designer, without any problems so far. Paul.

Hi laneallen, What kind of keyboard are you referring to? I have a wired keyboard with numeric keypad which has a Command key on both the right & left. This means I use the right Command key + J. Paul.

Hi Madame, I haven't tried it yet, but it occurred to me that you could flatten the layer after cropping and then extending the canvas? Paul. :rolleyes:
-
Rasterising is fine, I just prefer a non destructive method, just in case I want to change the cropping. Either way there is always more than one way to skin a cat!
-
Hi Madame, Alternatively you could draw a rectangle shape with the rectangle tool, using the Transform info tab for sizing. The image can either be pasted inside the shape or the shape can be made into a selection to make the mask. Paul. PS I think A_B_C just beat me to it!
-
Hi Madame, Have you tried using a mask to define your image area & then enlarging the canvas? Paul.

Hi Ammar, Adobe's vector smart objects are proprietary, they import as pixel layers to Affinity: PS: AP: I don't believe that it's possible to support proprietary code. Paul.

Hi DreamThinkLive, I believe that MBd is referring to the bottom left of the application window, where info for the selected tool appears: Paul. ;)

Hi MelG, Photos can import RAW files & then export/share them: The issue seems to be locating the RAW files that are stored in this manner? Paul.
-
Hi tinyheero, Affinity does not link files at all in the way Adobe or other apps do. Placing the file embeds it instead (similar to Smart Objects in PS). A placed PDF is not rasterised – to edit it's properties, you can double-click the placed image & it opens in a separate window. If you place them or copy & paste from PDF files that you open in Affinity, the separate panels should be easy to arrange within the document as you see fit. Please refer to the screen shots below to illustrate the difference between opening & then copy/pasting into your document vs placing into your document: Hope this helps. Paul. ;)

Hi Mr.Furious, In my production environment at work, I do not use iPhoto (Snow Leopard) to manage my production files. On my own Mac, I follow a similar workflow as I do not use Photos to manage my media. In my production environment, all the media for a job is moved to a production folder on the HD. I follow a similar method at home, storing my working files on a combination of the main HD plus my external storage HD's. Affinity has a Media Manager which I use, as well as simply using the File>Open… command to locate the RAW file(s) I need for a project. Affinity's Media Manager can have extra folders added to it. All RAW files open as RAW this way for me. Hope this helps. Paul.
