  1. Acquisitions almost never end well for the acquired product. I've been part of several such buyouts and despite all the "no plans to change" they always mean the buyer gets bored of the thing they bought after a few years and can't now work out how to sell. Having been with Serif for many, many years I'll stick with Affinity for now; because that's where all my work and skills are, but I rather suspect that any v3 will never happen; and if it does will certainly become a subscription product. Shame.
  2. Pleased to say that this is fixed in the 2.4.0 Beta - I have successfully exported my book with the bleed.

  4. Thanks. I think I've worked round it by using PDFSam - https://pdfsam.org/download-pdfsam-basic/ - to merge the individual chapter PDFs. My numberings are all within each chapter, I have no links and the ToC looks OK. Now I will have to see what the printer makes of the merged file - hopefully they won't complain! Looking forward to the 2.4.0 beta to do it properly!
  5. Is there any chance it will be sooner than that? I have just encountered a bug (unable to export a book with bleed (REF: AF-1349) ) and I will need to send this book off to print soon (yes - I should have tried before now, but all my tests were for visuals and so didn't need the bleed!) Or can I somehow "publish" a book with chapters into a single afpub file; which will then print with the bleed? Thanks!
  6. How soon is the beta, please? I've just encountered this issue with a book that I need to send off to print soon. Thanks.
  7. Genius! That's what I wanted - works automatically with the frame content in a non-destructive way so I can change the content and it just reflects the change automaticcaly. Thank you very much! Not exactly an obvious solution, but makes sense now I know
  8. Yes - so it seems I'll have to fake it with a separate layer that I merge all my frame elements into a single curve, make that black and use the vignette inside that that, layering that over the real frame layer. and tweaking the transparency... Bit of a pain, since if I change the frame I'll have to regenerate the fake mask frame oject, but at least it works!
  9. Ah ha! OK. So that's the effect. I'm just trying to work out why that works and how to apply it to my actual case (where the frame is more complex and I can't just add all the bits together. Thanks!
  10. Yes, but that then effects the central image area as well whic I don't want. That's the key here.
  11. Hi. Thanks - but that's the opposite of what I want to do! That's applying the vignette to the picture - I want to apply it to the frame only, and not effect the image in any way.
  12. I want to add a vignette to a frame, but not to any content shown behind the frame layer (i.e. to not affect the photo "in" the frame. I'm sure it should be possible, but I'm failing to spot the technique. Simple example - I want the vignette to darken the red frame bits, but not the stock photo behind. Suggestions welcome, please Thanks! FrameQuestion.afdesign
  13. Just wanted to say thanks for the upcoming standard installer - I have now pruchased the upgrades after holding off to see how it would all work out!
  14. I've just been rummaging in the menus and help to find this basic option - only to come here to find it doesn't exist... Three plus years to not add something this fundamental seems... disappointing. Affinity Photo, you're making it very hard to like you! I'm comparing this against Paintshop Pro (my tool of choice for many years) and the number of missing simple usability features is driving me away again (for example many dialogs forget their last used settings - which is madness!). I don't want to be a misery and not give it a chance, so I'm going to use it until the trial expires and write up a list of missing things I find. I imagine that anything will just go onto a big pile of "we'll think about it someday in the future" but at least it will make me feel better!
