In Designer v1, I didn't have a problem at all. In Designer V2 it's a horrible experience. what's the trick to select a couple of specific lines in a paragraph? I assume it's broken, or at least for me it is. I can highlight text but if I try to drag the handles to adjust the selection—the pencil draws a black line as if it is trying to access the writing to text... but it just readjusts my selection and not even close to what I am trying to select.
Any tricks or is this a bug?
Thanks,
Jim

Headline says it all. If I’m overlooking it could someone please show me the way?
Thanks,

It’s useless if I want to return the affinity file back to my desktop with reliability. I don't want to do a bunch of work here on my iPad (as I like to do) and then send to my desktop.
Were these issues emailed to us? I didn’t see anything. -
So then it’s useless until the next update then. I see. This is baaaaaad.

Hi all, spent some time on a project and want to send it back to desktop but there doesn't seem to be a way. I used to be able to use universal control and drag the doc over to my iMac, but that doesn't work (Frustrating!) So I tried opening the doc on the iPad to do a save as to get it into my files and there's nothing there in the UI to do so!
Help! What am I missing here?
Thanks,Jim

I'm not pushing Adobe Max... just that its going on at the same time we see the first real promise of Publisher coming on iPad.
The one thing I wish my M1 iPad pro had is the new hover for pencil. I use my iPad with astropad to do 3D and hover is a work around right now.
-
came here to mention that as well. I'm sure its a little bit of a bummer as Adobe Max Live is going on now too...

You can place a pdf into Designer and check colours there.
I understand there’s several ways. I am wondering how Dave GI is doing it. But thanks? Lol

I'm working with 2 solid pantone colors and it's a nightmare. They will not export as consistently as pantone colors. There are hundreds of elements on the page. I make sure they are all assigned to the the right spot color and then it exports a few elements correctly but most of them turn to CMYK. I have been screwing with this for about six hours. It would have taken about 5 minutes in Illustrator. I don't understand why the Pantone Solid Coated library is not available from the swatch libraries. The solution mentioned by 3DJ did not work for me.
When I create a Global Spot colour it doesn't export to PDF. There are so many things wrong with colour management that I think l will have to give up on AF Designer. The
Hi Dave, just curious, how are you discovering this on the exported file? Are you looking at the properties in acrobat? I’m not sure I have an answer but wondering how you are inspecting the output file.

The latest update fixed it for me. Glad I wasn’t losing my mind!

Hi @Lee D just got back to this. Yes, I thought the blue dots are from show touches, but I don't have it on, and I don't recall seeing them before this odd behavior started acting up.

Hi, I recently have been having problems with Designer, I draw with the pen, and hold 2 fingers to select a node and select a handle and let go with one finger to pull and adjust this handle. It’s not working that way anymore, or inconsistent at best. I also notice that my touches display blue dots and they didn’t used to, I dont have any accessibility features turned on. Really driving me crazy. I’m on the new M1 iPad Pro. Is anyone else noticing this behavior?
Thanks,
Jim

And continuing to look into this, I had the bright idea of using the equivalent of PS “Blend if” mode which is more powerful in Affinity… I have an image that I select the lightness channel and pull both the left and right sides of the destination curve down to the bottom- therefore eliminating the pixel values… it reduces the look but drains the AB channels as well in the composite (even though I didn’t adjust them) They appear untouched, but visually the effect I am going for is completely gone. Frustrating, I guess this should be a bug report.
-
Well, I could atleast fill the Lightness channel with 50% grey and that did the trick. I feel for @TLeyva… Swizzling channels is a standard for 3D game asset creation… I would think the folks at Affinity could look into that with a fresh new approach that would really help them make in roads with that type of workflow.
-
This is really a feature that needs to be implemented… I use it especially when working in LAB color mode, (which overall I don't think is working correctly atleast compared to PS) ButI need to be able to mix the A and B channels without the Lightness channel in the mix at all. I am really shocked this is not possible!

I see you’ve changed the font but it’s still nowhere near as joined up as your “finished look” version. What font did you use this time, by the way?
Josie,
This is why I suggested you convert your type to curves? Does this make sense to you now?
-

Your “finished look” file appeared more joined up, but at least you now have an even stroke around each letter.
I didn’t have that font either, but it’s 100% free:
Sure, but I’m trying to teach best practices here… I’m not going out of my way to find a font Ill never use.

What do you guys think? Any more I can do to make it better?
Hi Josie,
See my screen shot, this is what your design looks like without your fonts installed on my system. I would recommend duplicating your text layer and converting it to curves.

How is this?
I added the stroke and this is how it turned out.
Thats looking great! One tip, when sending this to others, they may not have the same font as you are using, so best practices is to send a copy that you convert the type to curves. It’s under the Layer menu or if on iPad its under the top drop down menu.

Thank you @Alfred for all your help & support here (and in similar threads), it's certainly appreciated!
This post was reported to our moderation team as being a copyrighted image, and therefore I added this caveat to the thread.
We understand that users will occasionally need to show artwork that is not their own in order to get a point across - we have no issue with this provided that A) the original artist is credited and B) the Affinity user is not editing/replicating the design, therefore infringing the copyright of the image.
I see. Thanks for the follow up.

Equally, it appears as though this is a copyrighted design from the below link, I would assume you have paid the correct licensing fees to edit or replicate this design before proceeding.

Ummmm…. Just curious. 1.) why did you think this was something to look up as a copyright infringement? And 2.) while the question being asked is clearly someone that doesn’t know what they are doing, sometimes we need to step out of our professional shell to either help or avoid a thread… just saying as I am blown away that you took time to seek this crap out.

Seriously LOL, why is this so hard to get done? I know Serif is aware of this request. So frustrating! Get the damn intern to do it already!
Selecting Text is a joke on iPad

Thanks guys, I think it may be because the text was imported from a Dr and it was horizontally scaled… Just tried selecting text in another document and its better.
