  1. Thank you Walt - I had accidentally dragged the layers above one another and assumed that this would work equally. Now I used "arrange layers" and It worked a treat! Thank you very much ❤️
  2. Hello, I'm using a german affinty Publisher v2 so my translation may be unprecise. However I found that there is a very convenient way to place multi-plage PDF documents into a Publisher document. Instead of using "File -> Place", use "Document -> Place pages from Document" (or whatever the english translation may be - German: "Seiten aus Datei hinzufügen...") You get a very handy dialogue. A downside of this function is that it disregards the "preferably linked / preferably embedded" settings from your Document Settings. (There is a workaround for it which I might explain further, if someone cares.)
  3. When I use the Edit Linked function and save it, this only changes the layer order on the very selected spread. Not on any of the others. I am using Publisher 2. Thank you for the thread. Felix
  4. Hello, After upgrading to Affinity Designer 2 I would like to select the app as my default SVG editing software in firefox. In Firefox I have to select where the app is stored and so far it had been easy to select Affinity Designer 1. I read that there are some complications with the new version of Designer. But maybe someone has an easy fix for me? Thanks, Felix
  5. Hi Everyone, I wanted to share my work with you! My work is often about climate & society. Please check out my Instagram Page Thanks, Felix
  6. When I press "ctrl + shift + ]" in Affinity Publisher on a German WIndows PC, this does NOT move the current object to the front. What am I doing wrong? How can I move objects to the front with a short cut? When I press "ctrl + ]" the project does some kind of zoom instead of moving the object one layer further to the front. Please help!
  7. Hello everyone, I did finally find what I was looking for. Firstly, this post in a photoshop-related forum was very helpful: https://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/96318/how-to-add-a-specified-gap-in-a-object-stroke-without-separating-the-two It helped me figure out how I can create the gappy effect, which is in fact by using the "dashed line" option in the stroke panel. (Screenshot) Best wishes, Foolix
  8. To the secon issue: I was now able to recreate it: I opened a file in AP, pressed export and chose
  9. Hello, I have recently encountered three issues: Firstly, In Affinity Photo the "add" keyboard shortcut of the magic wand tool is not working as expected. I have raised this issue in this thread: Secondly: (This issue does not always occur but sometimes it I believe it has :/ I cannot currently recreate it. ) In Affinity Publisher: When I export a PDF, choose a print preset (Like "PDF - Für Druck" (German)) I am sometimes for no clear reason unable to select "include bleed area" (or whatever the english translation for "Inklusive Anschnittbereich" is) in the extended export options menu. Then I can only enable the bleed marks through the (parent) basic export dialogue. Thirdly: This is not necessarily a bug but I find it unfortunate: When I open a PDF document's page in Affinity Photo, the bleed area is not included.
  10. Hi Alfred, any one of the illustrations really - as they all have in common the dotty black pen lines.
  11. Hi, I am looking for an ink-like Affinity Designer brush that occasionally has some gaps in it. I would add an image but I don't own the copyright so please have a look at this link: https://www.behance.net/gallery/116935711/The-WIRED-World-2021?tracking_source=best_of_behance Where can I get brushes like this one? Thanks, Foolix
  12. "Shift-click adds to my selection " that's desirable. It doesn't happen on my system
  13. Thanks NotMyFault. I am however interested to see if there is an equivalent to Photoshop's alt+click action...
  14. Hi, I would like to check the DPI size on an image i placed in Affinity Publisher. In the dialogue box in Document > Manage Resources I can only find the original DPI. But like I used to have it in InDesign I would like the program to tell me: "The image is resized to a quality of 250 DPI". Where can I get this service? Thanks.
  15. Hello, I want to "add to selection" with the magic wand tool. But when I follow the tool instructions on the bottom of the screen and "right-click to add", nothing happens. My selection just stays as it is. What am I missing? Thankyouu
  16. But when I modify the line height it won't be saved as a formatting style, right? I wish to have the line height saved in some sort of style so that I can apply the same line height to a multitude of paragraphs. Isn't that possible?
  17. Hello, I am just getting used to the text styles panel. Here I can change the font family, font size... but somehow not the line height. Am I blind or does this feature not yet exist for text styles? Thanks for any help. Felix
  18. So brushes are not actually vevtor objects I learn. That's quite disappointing, unfortunately.
  19. Hi there, when I use the function "expand stroke" on an object with a more complex outline all the program does is deselect the layer. Am I missing something or is this feature not working yet? Thanks. F
  20. I absolutely agree with spidershu - You should launch a kickstarter campaign for a Linux version . So many Linux users are missing a creative suite. The Ubuntu (a linux distribution) community alone is so vast and I have seen many people who would be interested! A creative suite for Linux would open the operating system to the designer crowd and be a massive gain to the community! I had to switch back to windows in order to get my creative work done 😍
  21. This is great! Thanks very much. Can I save gradients as colour fields? (Green to grey = one field that can be applied) And can I coulour-pick gradients somehow?
  22. Hi everyone I have created a painting with lots of global colours in Affinty Designer. Now I wish to fill several shapes with gradients reaching from a colour from my colour swatch to the same colour with 0% opacity. Basically fading-out shapes from my colours swatch. I want the software to use the colours from the swatch in the gradient. But I can never drag the colour fields into the gradient Instead I have to manually search for a similar colour, which really sucks. Can you do this a little better?
  23. I am sorry for disrupting you guys, I found the setting for this function. It's called " Align handle positions using snapping options " Read here:
