I've now tried both solutions. Both are great. Thanks again. I appreciate it!

Thank you. The above method worked. I had to install something called the Segmentation Model, but once I did that, it worked. Follow-up question: After having masked the coin, then selecting it using the Move Tool, I notice that the selection area includes the brownish part that I removed (see image). Is there any way I can make the selection area be just the coin itself?

Hi. I am trying to edit some photos for a friend of mine. He said he originally took the photos using an iPhone and sent them to me in HEIC format. When I drag-and-drop an HEIC photo into Affinity Photo, I get the image as show in the attached .afphoto file. In Photo or Designer, what's the easiest way to fully remove the brownish background, leaving only the coin? Thank you. Temp.zip

Thank you. Will check them out.

Thank you Walt.

I know very little about brushes, but would like to purchase a brush pack that contains vector brushes with .ai and .eps file extensions (see image). From the file name extensions, will these brushes work in Affinity Designer 2? If no, where is the best place to find brush packs that work in AD2? Thank you.

Understand it now. Thx.

Thank you all. Very helpful!

Thanks for the insights. In answer to your question, I sometimes sell on RedBubble (although not in this instance). RedBubble accepts PNG and JPG files, but not TIFF or PDF files. From time to time, I want sections of an image to be transparent, which JPG (to my knowledge) doesn't support, so I guess I've become used to using PNG as my default. I do select CMYK, however, with. the "Generic CMYK Profile". As an aside, RedBubble and similar sites typically cite their image size recommendations in pixels, not dpi. For example, they suggest 5000x7100 pixels for posters. So I've probably gotten out of the habit of thinking about dpi.

Now and then I fool myself into thinking that I understand the relationship between pixels and dpi, but then I realize that I don't. So let me seek the advice of experts. I am using Affinity Designer (version 2.5.3) to create a poster that will be printed 30x30 inches in size. For my question, let's assume I have set up a new Affinity document 3000x3000 pixels in size, with a dpi setting of 300. I then create my poster artwork solely with vector tools (Designer Persona; no use whatsoever of Pixel Persona). I now export my artwork to PNG in three ways: A. Export using original document settings, 3000x3000 pixels and 300 dpi. B. In File > Export, I change the pixel setting to 6000x6000, but maintain the document setting of 300 dpi. C. In File > Document Setup, I change the dpi to 400, then export using the original 3000x3000 pixel setting. Which of these three options will result in the highest print quality, and why? Thank you.

Fantastic. Thank you.

Thank you for the info. I didn't know AP had a footnote feature. I'll look into that on a future occasion. For right now though, let me go back to my original question: Is there a way to flag or mark two words so that both words always stay together on the same line?

Here is my test file. And from this same test file, here is another image of what I see on my screen. I noticed there was a new update to Affinity Publisher, so now I am on version 2.5.3. Thank you. Test.afpub.zip

I'm working on some text that contains a lot of footnote numbers. With standard line wrapping within a Text Frame, and with standard hyphenation, sometimes the footnote number ends up on its own line (see Case A in the attached image) When this situation arises, I always want the word just prior to the footnote number to wrap with the footnote number . (Case B) What's the best way to set up Affinity Publisher so that this happens automatically, without me having to manually adjust each occurrence? (FYI the "prevent widows / orphans" settings in the Paragraph Panel seem to have no effect on this.) Thx.

I don’t recall exactly, but I had a similar Help problem a couple years ago with one of the Affinity products. I ended up deleting the app, then re-downloading and reinstalling the app on my Mac. That fixed it.
