You're right. That's the way it is and it fits a number of actions. I had this fantasy that you could move around the projected spherical image with gestures, arrow keys or else and paint at the same time. In the current paradigm, you either move around the projection, or you act within the window on that projection. This said, equirectangular projection is a great feature.

Is there a way to paint on the whole of the equirectangular projection in a continuous manner, without leaving the "live projection" mode that allows you to go around the spherical image? In this state of things, as soon as I grab the brush I am stopped and limited to the view that I have on the part of the projection I'm on. Ultimately, that gives rectangular patches that move with the projection, but nothing that could be seamless over the whole of the projection. I hope I make sense here.

I had the exact same problem with Designer update to 1.9.2. Updates to Photo and Publisher ran smoothly. macOs 11.2.3 (Big Sur), iMac 5K, late 2015 (i7). I uninstalled Designer and reinstalled it from the available download in my account. uT

Ah. It's absolutely possible that I did that. I didn't know that relation between a regular document page and its master page. It is key. Thanks! Up

Thanks again. I wonder how I could have done that (twice), but doing so would surely lead to the exact same problem. If there's a way to alter the master page from a content page using it, that's what I must have done. The sequence of operations would include pinning, using" inline in text" and connecting frames of flowing text. I can get back to this now and see what's really happening. This said, there's a new version now. It may mean that this is fixed in some obscure way (if the software was ever at fault -- nothing like what happened is listed in the fixes, though). Well, I'll see. Thanks for reminding me of the history panel. I've used it many times, but I can't remember if I tried anything with it regarding this problem. I'll keep it in mind. Up

Thanks Thomaso., II didn't see your post before answering Old Bruce. I remember now that after struggling with this for hours yesterday, the only thing I could guess was generating those unwanted lock-ups was a specific suite of (unremembered) actions involving three possible functions : pinning, using inline in text and connecting frames for text flow. I didn't have time to approach this methodically, so I moved on and switched apps. I'll give it another look in a couple days. For the time being, as I told Old Bruce, things are acting normally with this sample document. Up

Thanks for your patience and help, Old Bruce. The upper frame (with the images) is not the template for the other one, in case this was what you were asking. Detail, in this case. But, I'm totally surprised by the fact that the problematic frame is as you point it now unlocked, and this not only for you, but for me as well. I don't know what to think. Some maneuver, or sequence of operations, does generate a lock that will not be unlocked by the usual mean (padlock in the layer). This had me struggling for hours yesterday. I'm seeing some light, but I'm not sure it will not happen again. I really don't know why we have that grey box unlocked now.When I saved and uploaded it, I was locked hard and impossible to unlock. UP

Thanks, Old Bruce, but that's not it. The Master Page has only four elements on it : two lines, one text frame that's extends to the margins of the document, and one text frame for the footer with some text and a page number element. The locked frame with a grey background is not a part of it. I shouldn't have said that the locked frame in the footer suddenly appeared while preparing the document for upload. This is misleading and I apologize. That frame is behaving normally, being an element of the Master Page. They grey background frame is the problem (if it one). Up

The text in the frame remains editable. It is absolutely impossible to move or delete. I am uploading a document in which I have replaced the text with body type, including in the locked frame. While replacing the text with body type. the footer has become locked too, by the way. The problematic frame was initially the one with white type on grey background. Thanks for your help. I'm hoping this is not something simple I missed. Up LockedFrameExample.afpub

Hi, This happened twice today, my first day of using AP for work, so I'm learning as I go along. I'm discovering, learning things and I'm liking the program more and more. After 6-7 hours of work, a text block has locked up and will not unlock in any way. The layer itself doesn't have a lock icon on it. Locking and unlocking the layer does nothing. I have tried to find a solution online. It did happen to someone with a beta version and there was no solution then. I recreated the page. The same thing happened, this time with a different text block. I love the synergy between Photo, Designer and Publisher. This is a really a great piece of software, but I can't complete my work on it for now. I'm still working tonight recreating my work in a word processor (far less capable than Publisher). I suppose this is a bug. My apologies if I'm wrong. In either case, though, I have to know before I do real work with Publisher. Up

Hi, It would be great if you could add this lens profile to Affinity Photo: Sony Zeiss DT 16-80mm (SAL1680CZ) uT
