That definitely clears a lot of the confusion I had about the DPI. Esp, the explanation that Affinity's DPI is really PPI. I'm curious- did you ever design an E-Blast for someone? I'm asking because I thought you might be able to give me some advice on what its width should be. This is (obviously) a first for me, so I'm struggling to get everything the way it should be. Thanks so much for all the time you spent in explaining! Don't worry, it was not all in vain. It looks a lot clearer to me now!

Did you try to convert the text to curves as a work around for it?

That helps. Thanks! Not a problem. Thanks for your prompt responses!

I'm really confused now. How will the pixel width hold out if you can change dpi and that basically will determine the width?? Sure, I'm designing it for an E-Blast. And according my google searches that's the desired width?

I'm sorry, but it doesn't seem to work that way. Or maybe I'm still doing something wrong? Here's how I did it: I created a new document with Publisher. Set the document units to pixels. Page width is at 600 px & height at 800 px. DPI I set to 300. Then I was adding text to the document & discovered that at 10.5 pt, it looks huge. It's almost like my document size would only be set for a few inches. Any advice??

Thanks to both of you for your replies! Mark, I thought that was the way it should work, but wasn't sure. I actually had tried to just do image resize in Photo but then it crashed on me. Which means that this morning I'll just start over & do it the right way from the start now that I know that will work. Thanks again, the explanation was very helpful!

ok, I'll just switch to Publisher then... Thanks for your response!

Can anyone tell me what I need to do so i can keep the width I need (600 pixels) without using 72 dpi only? I need to have a document with that exact width, but I'd rather have a higher dpi if possible. Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Hello Is it possible to do a hyperlink in Designer?

Works fine now that I'm using 1.7.2! Thanks!!

You're right. That's what made the difference. There's a lot of potential in Publisher! I'm convinced it's a need for me now. Thanks again for your help!

I'm trying out the trial now. Got a question though- What are the 2 Master layers that are there as soon as you open a new document?

That helps a lot! Sounds like it would be great for the brochures I do. Thanks!!

Hello Are there any dedicated Affinity users who can tell me what you gain with Publisher? I've been using Designer & Photo for a little over a year now & loving it once I got used to Affinity. (I had Adobe PS before this). What can you do with Publisher that you can't with Designer or Photo? Thanks for your advice!

Sounds good! I will see if that fixes the problem once the updates are available. Thanks for your help, MEB!

thumbs up! Exactly what I needed!

No we haven't.

I did. But it still won't work.

Since I downloaded the latest version of designer and photo the option to edit in designer/photo is grayed out. Am I missing an obvious? For right now, I'm right clicking on the unopened document & choosing to open with Designer as a work around. Thanks!
