Yep. It was the file size. It's a long, photo-heavy book. I had to use lower quality to get it uploaded. Thanks for the insight!

KDP demands I make my front cover exactly 7.197 inches by 10.236 inches due to the page count and other book print factors. When I try to create this document size in Affinity Photo, it lets will let me do 7.197 x 10.234 in, or 7.198. If I unclick the lock button, I thought I could choose any size, but though it will let me set any size, when I click "Resize," and then reopen the document resize panel again, I see that the document is still at 10.234 or 7.198. How can I set the document size to what I need?

I realize this is not a Kindle Direct Publishing help forum, but I'm trying to upload an Affinity Publisher-created manuscript to Kindle Direct Publishing. I get the attached "failed manuscript upload" notice, so I'm not even getting to the point of being rejected by the launch previewer. Any suggestions for where I might be going wrong? Note that I do have a minor preflight error about my table of contents, but I don't think it would be relevant. I've uploaded manuscripts with these preflight errors before. File info included in screenshot. Any idea why I might be rejected?

Thanks!

I've got a table of contents I like. I get a preflight error for it saying, "one or more table of contents entries needs updating." When I click the "fix" button, it removes my formating, doesn't fix anything obvious, and the preflight error stays there like nothing happened. What's causing this and how do I fix it?

Thanks!

The apostrophe in "China's second-greatest source," doesn't appear to be spaced properly. How can I fix this? WeirdChina.afpub

I've located the text frame panel and adjusted it to 0.5 pt. But it still doesn't look even.

Similar to my last question, but with tables. Even after adjusting the "stroke order," the top area of this chart seems to have thicker lines than the cells below. How can I equalize them? CH10Test.afpub

Thank you!

How do I get the picture frame on the top right to appear as thick as the four surrounding picture frames? Fig13Test.afpub

Doing so seems to mess up the formatting. Text is moved around, etc.

I want to post a publisher file I have a question about on this forum. My thinking was that I could do file - save as, and save the file somewhere else, and then delete all the pages but the two I have questions about, and upload this. But when i do this, my remaining pages are all messed up, formating wise, and my question doesn't work. So what's the best way to post a small part of my large book project here for feedback without having it get all messed up or having to post the entire thing?

You're using Designer for this, correct?

I'd like to have a page of my book contain a circle. Inside this circle will be some lines on which the reader can write something in response to a prompt. I'd like this circle to have a slight greyish tinge to stand out from the white paper. What's the best approach to doing this?

That was it. Thanks!

That was the problem! Thanks!

Here are my export settings, if it matters.

Nope. Just as full of holes as before.

I use MacOs Big Sur. There doesn't appear to be an OpenCL Compute Acceleration option under performance preferences.

I've attached an .afphoto file and a transparency I exported from it. The transparency seems to have transparent holes in the section I meant to leave untouched. When I look at my .afphoto file, I can't see anything that looks like a selection/hole. Can anyone tell me why this is happening? UploadLaocoon&SonsSeaSnake.afphoto

Since the recent update, I've found that Affinity Photo projects save just fine. But when I try to export .pngs from them to create transparencies, the files take a very long time to export. They now take 15-30 seconds. Previously they exported in 1-3 seconds. I've attached .afphoto file that does this on my computer. Is this a bug? Thoughts? MLKStatueAffinity.afphoto

I have a number of overlays imported into the studio assets panel, but they all appear to be greyed out. How do I actually make use of them?

Thanks!
