I write a lot of tutorials for the web and take more than a lot of screenshots of the UI. I use the default screenshot process for the iMac. When I paste the screenshot in to Affinity Designer, the pixel dimensions are W 2900 px H 2364 px. (see screenshot attached) When I paste the same screenshot in to Illustrator, the dimensions are W1434 H 1168. Because of the large size, I need to reduce the dimensions for the screenshot in Designer before saving for the web as jpg. This usually results in poor image quality. Is there something I can do to get the lower dimensions when I paste an image in to Affinity Designer? By the way, why are the dimensions different? Thanks to all

Thanks everybody

I have a 2d character drawn in Affinity Designer. Every body part (head, hand, foot etc) is on its own layer. Is there a way to link the body parts together so that I can pose the character with forward kinematics as in these apps. Thanks for the help.

I have created several projects in Designer over the last year and I have a continuous problem. The vector image looks great in Designer but when I export it, the result is very blurry. I've tried exporting in several formats from png, jpeg, pdf and svg. I also tried moving to Photo and Publisher and exporting from there but with the same results. I have noticed that the vectors are better preserved than the one raster layer. I have also noticed that many people have mentioned the same problem here in the forums but I haven't been able to find how the issue was resolved. If it has been resolved, please point me in the right direction for the info. If it is still a problem, is there a work around or a fix for the problem. Thanks to all.

I'm working on a magazine layout. I setup the new doc to include bleed and NO facing pages. I also have some design elements extending beyond the bleed to avoid that white border when printed. But I'd like to work on the layout using facing pages. When I temporarily switch from single page to facing pages in Doc Setup, it works fine. But when I switch back to single page spread, the content that extended beyond/into the bleed area of the inside/matching page edge disappears. When I export with single pages for the printer, will that design element be there or not? Thanks

HI again, I've used the live filter for the perspective. I also need to use the warp tool but I want the image to remain embedded. Is there any way to stop the layer from rasterizing when I use the warp tool? Thankns

That worked Thanks so much

I am trying to insert an image into a picture frame in Publisher. I've transformed the picture frame to overlay a mockup of a magazine cover - see attached photo. But when I insert the cover image in to the picture frame it doesn't reshape to fit into the picture frame. It inserts as the cover image is originally that is a rectangle shaped image. As this is a mockup, I need to be able to insert any cover image and have it fit nicely in to the picture frame in perspective, Is there a way to do this? Thanks to all.

Affinity Designer I want to add two vector shapes together as one vector object. Each shape has a different fill color. Is there a way to maintain both fill colors when i combine the shapes into one. Thanks

Thanks everybody

I am switching from InDesign to Affinity Publisher. LuLu has a .joboptions file that you can download for InDesign. Do you have a .joboptions file for exporting PDF from Affinity Publisher that would work for LuLu.com? If not, is it possible to use the InDesign .joboptions file in Affinity Publisher?

I want to apply a 2 page spread master to a single page master. When I try, the left side of the spread is applied to the single page master. Is there any way to make the 2 page spread apply the right side of the spread instead. Do I just move everything or is there a special way to do this? Can I resize the design elements that span across the 2 page spread without breaking the applied master? Thanks

That did it! Thanks for the quick reply.

I am trying to create a child master page that will inherent content from a parent master. I did this by duplicating the parent master. But when I make changes to the parent master, there is no change to the child master. Why? Thanks for the help
