i exactly want to modify the word spacing. in the paragraph panel there is no option to adjust the desired word spacing. justify is the only preset option to adjust the space.
there is no manual way to adjust space between words ?

Hi,
How to add space between words without adding space between letters in a whole paragraph ? Everytime I add space it also modifies the letters, I just want to add word spacing.
Thank you

Hello,
 
I was working on wireframe project and the moment I group objects, the suddenly transform and move unexpectedly. The grouping bug is so annoying and I cannot constraint feature because I cannot group object. I have recorded my screen using Affinity Designer when this bug occurs. I have also highlighted the bug area with a dashed rectangle, so you could pay attention when the bug occurs. Please Help.
 
Thank you

Hello,

If you guys could add these contrast ratio feature in Affinity, it would be a really great tool. Here are some links that checks the contrast of background and foreground color.

Hello Affinity,
I would like to give you my money NOW. I really don't want to pay Sketch or Figma or inVision or Adobe XD or Framer X or Protopie or Webflow or UX Pin. I would love to buy a software from Affinity that enables the prototyping feature. Maybe a merge between Personas with added plugin to buy. OR maybe call the software Affinity Prototype or Affinity Interactive or Affinity Hybrid.
I have been creating lots of Websites and User Interfaces, but I can't quickly prototype it to get my idea across. I have been working collaboratively with a multidisciplinary team of 50 designers/developers/business analysts. And when it's time for me to pitch I have to manually go into my Visual Studio Code Editor and create it from scratch using CSS and JavaScript.
Still waiting for release date,
Thank you

@walt.farrell thank you for explaining. It is such a long process to cut and paste when I am working with 50 pages of book in Affinity Publisher.
Hopefully Affinity introduces a new toggle switch function in near future.

Webflow added this. I think I'll give it a try some time:

I was planning to implement some visual identity helping software which allows collaborating designers to easily get the right VI elements and color according to their actual application senario.
 

Mithferion,
you're right. It is an easy work around for checking contrasts. But - please correct me if I'm wrong - it doesn't suffice to check by estimation if you have to design objects that have strict rules regarding accessibility for visual impaired people. There are so many different difficulties people can have with their eyes. In my very own case: I have Keratoconus (progressive thinning of the cornea, may result in blurry vision, double vision, nearsightedness and light sensitivity). By classification I am concidered to have mild to moderate visual impairment and moderate to severe visual impairment without correction. But with correction (glasses/contact lenses) I am officially not impaired even if I feel like that.
In my case I need proper contrasts to see what's going on. If it's too dark I can't see stairs but I see black walls that aren't there - scared to run against them. This is irrelevant for my design process because I am not color blind and have a trained eye for color tones. My problem is double vision: several parts of the same image layered on top of each other but tilted and shifted. It has to be large enough that I can filter out that stuff in my brain.
But there are a lot of people that have color blindness. Approx. 5 to 10 percent of the population are affected. Official numbers are way smaller but there are always unreported cases that you should concider.
Here is an example about the different types of color blindness from Wikipedia:
 
Quote by www.colourblindawareness.org
That is a very complex topic. If you would create a color pallete with red, orange and yellow tones - an autumn themed design - it may be possible thar some color blind people can't even read it because the tones look like the same color without any contrast. The same goes with blue and violet and so on.

Hello World,

Here's what I have done so far by creating a design system using Affinity Designer. I also have attached my Affinity Designer source file. Feel free to download and play around with it.

I have developed a UI Design based on this using HTML and CSS. If you are interested you can sign up with the coupon code Here is the link:

Hi,
on the german site leserlich.info you will find helpful calculators in German and English:
Contrast calculator (Calculating and testing easily accessible colour combinations for screen and print)
RGB for screen, CMYK for printed materials, also some color swatches like HKS or Oracal
Font size calculator (Calculating and testing easily accessible font sizes from mobile devices and books to traffic and advertising signs)
Calculates Distance in cm, Visual acuity, Ratio of x-height to font size, Text types (Reading text, Consultating text, Signalling text) and available Lighting
leserlich.info is a service offered by the German Federation of the Blind and Partially Sighted (Deutscher Blinden- und Sehbehindertenverband)
It would be nice to integrate. If it is possible to define presets you can add other guides as well. When you choose a font you can check it of size and contrast. Therefore you must have the possibility to measure cap height and x-height and setting them automatically. This helps especially with Art Text.

Very interesting idea. What I usually do to check contrast (on illustrations, for example) is to put a black rectangle over the area that I need to check, and change its Blendo Mode to Color.
That will give you a very good idea of the perceived light that you are getting from that imagen. Avoid simply using and HSL Adjustment to bring down the Saturation, because that gives worng results.
Best regards!

You're welcome.

I don’t think you can do what you want because the grid is inside the artboard and an artboard cannot snap to its contents.
An artboard can only snap to other artboards and layers that are outside of all artboards.
My attached video shows one possible workaround.

Interesting, how do you prototype then? May i get to know more?
