    dkenner got a reaction from walt.farrell in Affinity Publisher - "Contact Sheet"   
    True about the manual, but it is an excellent resource!  As for the hamburger icon, I have the icons as large as they would go and was hoping for slightly larger.  There are numerous work arounds that I have done, including cut and pasting to construct one.  I was hopeful that there might be a single setting somewhere which I could leverage.  
    But the thread has been instructive, to which I am grateful.

    Brief, just a mention of the application at 1:27:02, but that is pretty good.  Congrats...  They only mention quality products.

    Just a photo of what appeared when I started up APub.  One document opened fine, the other gave me this blue screen.  It went away after closing both files and restarting the application.  No explanation, just an image for whomever might track these things

    I'm a bit confused here.  The data classification seems to require a password protected file.  OK, this meets the local security requirements for data at rest, because Dropbox has been deemed to have inadequate protections, or the access controls are not being managed adequately.   It also seems that password protection also meets the local requirements for data transmission.  
    I'll ignore my feelings that password protecting an Excel file is completely inadequate for protecting information at the Canadian "Protected B" level.  I presume that this is private data, and not national interest, so using the Canadian standard derived from both the Privacy Act and PIPEDA, and supported by NIST based standards and guidance.
    If Dropbox had adequate management of the user controlled access permisisons, you should not need to password this file, unless the other two end environments are deemed to be that untrustworthy.  I'm missing something here, as Affinity is being asked to participate in something that would not pass a security assessment and authorization process at the levels being suggested.  There are too many possible holes elsewhere.  
    I presume that it is not being suggested that APub should be able to access a password protected excel file with Affinity being given the password itself?

    I see that Affinity Publisher was specifically mentioned, amongst a few other products, in today's Apple event.  Excellent work by the Affinity team, it shows that Apple sees Publisher as being quite worthy of mention.

    dkenner got a reaction from Dan C in Affinity Publisher v1.9 - Packages   
    A quick note.  This has to be one of the most useful features I have seen added to a product in a long time.  
    Having been doing club newsletters for the past year, in an organized, disorganized fashion, the packages feature allowed me to put the resources associated with the various newsletters together in one spot.  I'd add that the process of finding all of the associated fonts and images, as over the months, despite best attentions, things migrate, only emphasized how useful this feature will be over time just for archiving and reusing resources.
    I agree with Emily in the 1.9 introduction video how useful this is.  Thank you for putting it in.

    Let me solve my own observation after exploring some thing some more (new iMac (OS/X 11.2) to me, so not been through all of the preferences).  
    iMac -> System Preferences -> General.  Bottom grouping of options.  There is a "Close windows when quitting an app" option. 
    If this option is checked, The Affinity Publisher -> Preferences -> General -> "Reopen Document(s) on startup" will not work. 
    Uncheck the iMac systems preferences box noted above and then AP's "Reopen Document... " option will work.
    Hope this helps others besides m....

    Ahh, excellent.  I had the same issue, but in Publisher on the iMac. Edit -> Defaults -> Factory reset solved it.  Numberous videos did not, though I learned other things.  Thank you,

    Hi,
     
    Hope this helps. It will all depend on the image you're working on, but this works for what you had attached. See screenshots to follow along.
     
    1. Select layer and chose FX
     

     
    2. Choose gradient overlay / Click on gradient
     

     
    3. Click on those colour circles at either end to select a new colour
     

     
    4. Adjust gradient slider 
     

     
     
    There is also a tutorial here, that's worth looking at...
