Hello Wosven... Indeed, my black and my white, taken from the CMYK slides are not suitable : I succeeded by setting these colors to "gray levels"! I never imagined something like this ... Thank you Wosven your help, thank you, thank you !

After having created it, exported (in PNG), imported into the palette ... - The brush is greyish (not 100% black) - The black slide remains inoperative - If I apply a color to it, it is added to the black ... - in any case I can paint in white >> What am I doing wrong or forgetting ??? Thank you for your help !

Yes Walt, I'm sorry ! Thanks...

PC Desktop - Windows 10 - AMD Ryzen 5 - Ram 16 - ATI AMD Radeon Pro WX 3100 Hello... This is what happened to me when I wanted to "group" these elements ...

PC Desktop - Windows 10 - AMD Ryzen 5 - Ram 16 - ATI AMD Radeon Pro WX 3100 Hi Affinty ... and Publisher users... When the layers palette is stored in his studio, his elevator is sometimes invisible (everything is fine when we take it out and put it back on). On one screen I have Publisher, and on another I have Designer: I switch from one to the other, and after a while, one or the other get on the hand and I can't activate other tools in the vertical toolbar. This is only true on the current doc (which I cannot save). However, I can open other documents. I'm working on a 36MB doc (linked Pdf images, 12 pages): you have to wait up to 1 second before any painting moves! Various controls suddenly seem to freeze, including "Control X" which suddenly does not cut anything. Why not consider a "wireframe" display to facilitate text or wedging work, and to identify locked blocks? The "samples" palette always comes back to gray colors ... Grrr! Am I the only one ? Thanks.

Since the last version (1.8.3.641), my DESIGNER and PUBLISHER presets (keyboard shortcuts, new document templates, export profiles) disappear from time to time ... Big waste of time ! (see screenshot) ... On the other hand PUBLISHER sometimes "disappears" when I load files of 300 MB ...

Hello... AFFINITY should make us an AfFPhoto / AFDesigner / AFpublisher file viewer, like ... Adobe Bridge utility. And when we want to open a document we can view it in the window. And that this viewer "sees" (good) most of the files that the Explorer "sees" (bad). THANK YOU !

Yes i am with you! I work for 3-4 months on Designer and the lack of contrast is painful. It's the same on Publisher. In the layers panel, where we move a lot of things, the colors have very little brightness, it's a hassle. And in the colors proposed to locate the layers, 4 out of 7 are too dark to see if the layer is ... visible! Active panels are also indistinguishable from inactive panels. I hope that the next version will be more advanced at this level ...

Thankx Pšenda, yes I know this manipulation, but which responds partially ... I will quote Illustrator, like many people here, but with its direct selection tool, everything is simple. I do not expect Designer to be a copy of illustrator, and I adopted it as it is, but for certain manipulations resolved for years in most software, Affinity seems curiously dissident ... it's his personality!

When you want to designate an element of a diagram using a number (letter) and a line ... you must swap the node tool (A) with the move tool (V) to adjust the position of the number and the line. Which becomes tense when you have tons! There is no optional key on these 2 tools, which would allow you to temporarily switch from tool (V) to (A), and, please, without having to activate the selection before you can move the node. .

Thank you Walt for that ray of hope. We suspect that Publisher is going to evolve, no doubt we are in too much hurry, we always want more!

Aaah ? Yessss ... it is not very clear ... this software does not seem really finished to me To follow...

I have a Publisher doc in which I have (so far) imported 50 A4 sheets, fairly "simple" drawings (particularly loaded ...) from Designer. The total document weight is 730 MB, whether the files are linked or integrated. Of course the files are linked, the loading time is as long as in the "integrated" version. And what motivates this plea is that when I open my document, I must systematically update the modified files in the meantime! (the update in "live" works well). According to the doc there should be a difference in weight, and the loading time will be much faster. Did I miss something ?

Yeah ! I admit that I searched a lot (in the menus ...) but never found. On the other hand I arrive in Designer (and Publisher) for 1 or 2 months, and I have to do everything at once: the job, and the conversion to these 2 (excellent) software, of which however certain functions are very confusing. And there I admit that I lacked perpicuity ! Thank you very much Loukash, things will be better now, thanks and merry Christmas ! Philippe

Dear Affinity Team, The drawing nodes around a letter are very annoying when you want to move it precisely. Likewise, the measurement indications on both sides obstruct the view ! Couldn't we have the possibility to mask (temporarily) these visual pollution ? Thank you all
