Alban,
Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums.
This sounds like a bug, can you please attach your file, and confirm which PDF export settings you are using. If you're not at liberty to put the file into these public forums, then please email it (or a Dropbox type link) to affinitysupport@serif.com

I'm praying that it's been ready for a while, but that Apple asked you guys to hold off on releasing it before WWDC so they could show it off or something...
Wow, that would be quite something, nice thought

Or change the theme to the standard "IP.Board one", not "Beacon (Import)", in the bottom right of the forum. The Beacon skin is pretty but not well designed.

Good morning Donald 1,
Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums.
What have you just bought exactly, as Affinity software doesn't require a registration key.
Your Product key for Windows software installation is in your account.
-
Please make a beta forum thread about your findings to see if we can replicate thisTalking about 32-Bit: A lot of things just break in the beta when you work in 32-Bit.
-
Yes, the Affinity Photo Workbook is well underway. We regularly review chapters as they are submitted and some are ready for German localisation.
We actually use PagePlus X9 (via BookPlus) to create and compile it to PDF.

Thanks both, I should have been in front of a computer rather than guessing. MEB has logged this
-
However, the ticks next to selected options and toolbars (such as in View) are very, very light, extremely difficult to see when not hovered upon.
Thanks, this is a bug. I think that you will find that they are already darker after a restart, can you please confirm

Keyboard language? (he said grasping at straws)
-
I wonder if this is a software language specific problem?
-
Moved to the beta forum where beta build discussions belong
-
Yes Andre, this has been reported to the developers already, thank you
-
-
This has been reported to the developers and will be fixed in a future next beta
-
Please stick to one thread, we are unlikely to solve this beta issue at the weekend.
-
Dieter, please make your own thread on this, Newty has a problem with image resolution
-
Thank you, it works for me. the low resolution preview version is replaced very quickly on my machine with the high res equivalent. We must find out why this is not the case for you.
If you wait does it recover and draw the full resolution version or does that never happen?
-
Please attach the original file for us as an attachment. This is an early beta and there will be teething problems that need ironing out.

RE: "This beta has expired"
Sorry, but from our tests it would appear that the current installer only works IF YOU HAD ALREADY HAD A BETA INSTALLED. Unfortunately if you are on a machine that has not had an Affinity Photo Customer Beta installed,then this current beta reports that your beta has expired when you try to run it.
We will make a new installer that will work whether you have had a customer beta before or not. We will make this replacement 1.6 beta installer available as soon as possible.
