I'm not sure if I'm asking this using the right terminology, but can noise in Designer be greater than 100%? As an example: I create a simple blue rectangle to use as a background on a website and change the noise to 100%. However, I want it to look more 'grainy' than this, so when setting it as the website background I have to 'zoom in' on the image. This does make it much more grainy, but the image also becomes very blurred as I'm now so zoomed in. So is there a way to keep increasing the noise beyond 100%?

Feature Request: Interactive PDF
Matt James replied to crapserK's topic in Feedback for Affinity Publisher V1 on Desktop
+1 I'd really value this feature. I run a small business and have to regularly send out forms I need customers to complete like order confirmations. I need to be able to 'put it on a plate' for them by making the document editable, but really don't want to be sending Word docs to do that -
Having a really odd issue with variable fonts. I downloaded 'Inter' font in the variable version, typed out the word 'Digital' for a logo I'm making in Affinity Designer, and it didn't look right. The A and the L being too close together is what initially caught my eye. I went back to Google Fonts and it wasn't displaying how it does when I typed sample text on there. So I downloaded the static font too, and that shows exactly as expected. Initially I tried reinstalling the fonts etc but nothing worked. So then it occurred to me it might be an issue specifically with Affinity, and it turns out it is! If I do this comparison in other software (e.g. Apple Pages) both the variable and the static font look identical. I've attached a screenshot from Affinity Designer to show the problem. Can anyone help?

MagicPrefs doesn't seem to work for me any more, thanks for the suggestion though. I guess the next best alternative if Affinity can't actually disable horizontal scroll would be to just maybe add a different 'Page View' where, say, the page filled the width of your screen and in that mode scrolling only went up and down. Thanks for the replies anyway.

Just came across this thread whilst Googling this problem as it's annoying me. Has there been any solution? -
Total inexperienced guy here, so apologies if this is obvious. If I create a design in Designer with a gradient, I get what I think is called 'banding' when I export it as a PNG file (i.e. where I can see almost 'stripes' where the colour changes with the gradient). Is there a way to stop this? I've attached a sample file - when I export that as a PNG the banding is clear (especially if I view the PNG on my iPhone). Sample.afdesign

Complete and utter novice here to both Affinity and graphic design in general, so apologies if this is really easy! I've attached an image. I'm trying to create a vector logo for my company which includes the top shape, and want the effect of the 'slash' through it. At the moment, I'm only achieving this by putting a white line through it, which as you'll see in the middle image doesn't work when I then try to save it as a vector. I tried creating the lines myself using the 'pen' tool, but the ends of the line are flat which means I lose the effect of it being a slash. Can anyone tell me how I could do this? And apologies, but I'll need very simplistic instructions!!
