[multiple photo frames the same size]

Well, @walt.farrell beat me by giving you a good answer (thanks for that).

The only thing I can add is that this way of creating grids is more of a visual technique. There is no way to control distances precisely during  their creation. That is not a bad thing. It is just good to know.

Thanks!! I realized this after playing with it. I'm glad it is in there. It works just fine.

Thank you! I was just about to post a solution. At about 1:13 this shows you also how to do it.  A lot of times it's knowing what to search for. Previously I was just looking for picture frames. Affinity does so much!! ❤️

Hi @VJS,

this was introduced in V2 of the suite and works about the same, even with picture frames. It is very fast to eyeball an array of picture frames across a certain layout area.

Since you are with V1 this unfortunately won't work for you right now.

Do you know if spacing between the picture frames is possible this way? I'm on V2. I can create multiples by hitting the arrow keys but would like to have space between them.

 

 

[Select objects issue]

After further testing - I noticed that if I do not completely enclose the object it will not get selected. You are correct!!! 

 

Your solution worked!

 

THANK YOU for the help!!!

 

[Select objects issue]

Hi there! I simply love all of the affinity products. I use Designer the most. 

I'm having an issue with selecting an object/s. When I drag over the objects most of the time only a few get selected. It has always seemed buggy. By that, I mean when a user drags over a group of objects, one would expect them to get selected. Sometimes all would get selected except for the 1st one. 

Today, however none are getting selected unless I click on the object. 

 

 

My set up:

Affinity Designer 1.10.1

iMac (Late 2015, 5K, 27 inch)

Mojave 10.14.6 

3.2 GHZ Intel Core i5

16gb of RAM.

 

 

[Very slight UI blur]

Ahhhh! That worked. The font is much more crisp. Thank you very much! I do see that Photo just has a very slight different font size for the UI as compare to Designer. Still, thanks for the great tip!!!

[Very slight UI blur]

Hi all, on my iMac (retina) I am encountering the issue of slight blurriness in the UI font. I have another iMac (non-retina) that is from early 2009. Photo seems to display fine there. While there seems to be an issue on my retina iMac, it's not so much that cannot do work. I just wanted to point it out. Designer (second screenshot) displays fine on this retina iMac.

Do you happen to have a second monitor also connected to your Mac, and is it retina capable? Also, that screenshot is of Photo, and this is the Publisher forum. Do you have the problem in Publisher? What version of Photo are you running?

I don't have another monitor that is retina but I do have another iMac (24 inch early 2009) that is running Affinity Photo(1.8.2). I just updated the application. The UI seems fine to me on that older iMac.

Very sorry about posting here. I googled and one of the results led me to this page. I will post in that topic area.

I am running the Photo (1.8.2) on both machines.

While there seems to be an issue going on. It's not so much that I cannot get work done. 

 

[1.8.0.518 – Partly blurred UI]

Hi all! I'm following this post and reading that the issue was related to non-retinas? Well Im on a retina and the ui seems ever so slightly enlarged/blurred. Definitely no issue with Designer.
