For RawTherapee there is a nice collection of Hald Color Look-Up Tables, that i was missing in Affinity. So i started to programming and 400 Lines of c++ later, i had a nice converter...
Over 300 LUTs of (old) analog films (BW / Colour) and colour effects. Look at the attached ZIP-File. (80 MB compressed, uncompressed 365 MB)
The HaldCLUT LUT-Files are not created by me (one exception).
License (CC BY-SA 4.0) is included.Have fun with it...
Wonderful and very useful set of LUTs! Thank you!

So, that's another reason for wanting global layers. With all these advantages, it seems to me that the introduction of global layers in Publisher is probably on Affinity's roadmap.
-
Thank you for all the explanations, thomaso! They clarify the concept considerably. Question: It seems that 'true global layers' also useful (necessary) when creating multi-language publications; is that correct?

Go to View and select 'Show Context Toolbar.'

I’ve attached another macro for creating a specific Artistic Look – this one called a Pastel Watercolor Effect.
Thank you. Those give really nice effects!

Congratulations on getting a book on Publisher out. It looks pretty interesting and quite extensive with all the training materials to be downloaded.
Too bad it's not in English, though....

This might be old news: but pressing the tab bar on your keyboard will hide all the margins of the objects and show them again after you released the tab bar. I use it a lot for a quick preview while working on the doc.
You must have customized the Tab key because the standard operation for this key is 'Toggle UI' (show/not show all menus, toolbars and panels).

Here, when the functionality and the term used to name it don't match at all, either one or the other should be changed quickly. This is not a simple improvement to be made when there is time, but rather to be corrected quickly.
This should be posted in the bugs forum and not in the features & feedback forum. 😉

Whatever the cause of the confusion, some changes in the terminology will be helpful.

The important clarification for me was the request is about text styles , not styles . They are different kinds of things, but easily confused unless there is enough context to understand which is meant
Confusing indeed. It might help to rechristen 'Styles' and call it something like 'Object Styles'.
-
Duh! I somehow overlooked that every time! Thanks for pointing it out.

If you have the Show Right Studio enabled then it will show, regardless of the panels being collapsed or not.
Where can I find this option?

Can you post a screenshot to illustratie the issue?

On the other hand, it is pity I did not retrieved any of the horizontal space...
I'm not sure, what do you mean by that?

2) Being not able to minimize the studio is also a pain.
I have a workaround until such time that the panels can be opened through, e.g., buttons on the toolbar. I like all studio panels to be visible and ready for use, so I created two additional panel clusters and placed them in the empty space at the top of the UI. I made the panels in each cluster of the same width so that the header bar's size won't jump left and right. This assures that the panel names always remain readable and that there is always enough space left on the header bar to double-click to close the then open panel.
Be careful though not to click on the 'X' because it will close the complete cluster. You can reopen the cluster again in Studio by selecting the relevant panels one by one. They will appear at the same location and be of the same size. It would be nice to be able to lock such panel clusters.

Yes, perhaps we're getting a bit off-topic but I agree with what you're saying.

What I see happening in this thread seems to be a reflection of two different kinds of user experience with Publisher. There are the users who are really versed in its workings and then there are those who are relatively new to the app or who are not yet fully familiar with its workings (quirks & features). I belong to the second group and feel at times frustrated as well because learning to master the app is often not a very intuitive process. I find the UI rather sparse and too much layered, and hints and feedback on operations are hardly provided.
Despite the fact that the app feels very solid and well thought out, I find it a bit too 'dense' to easily explore and get to know it. This also applies to Photo and Designer, which I also own.
Let me also state here that I appreciate @walt.farrell enormously for his professional -- i.e., knowledgeable, patient and evenhanded -- and voluntary support, as well as Affinity staff's responsiveness.

The suite of three apps is already pro (but still in 'early' development -- version 1.x) and is competitively priced. That's why I and so many others joined the Affinity project. Fundamental changes in marketing and development strategy at this stage might not be appreciated by the presently loyal user base.
