If Publisher isn't writing the tag correctly it needs reporting as a bug. What did you use to check? You can use exiftool -author="I did it" filename.pdf to fix it I check using Chrome and displaying Document properties

Thanks Mike, but they're the same files I used earlier. They show in Notepad++ as ANSI which doesn't work. if you paste in Październik it appears as Pazdziernik, and the word count is still wrong. I'm pretty confident in what I've done, I just can't tell if the hyphenation is valid and my tame Polish speaker is on his hols atb

I downloaded the files from https://github.com/LibreOffice/dictionaries/tree/master/pl_PL as it was the only place I could find the hyphenation file The hyph_pl_PL.dic & pl_PL.aff show ISO8859-2 at the top, I changed these to UTF-8 The word count in pl_PL.dic is wrong, I corrected it to 308305 I use Notepad++, it showed the Encoding as ANSI, I changed that to UTF-8 Rather strange, Październik was missing from the dictionary so I added it. So is Sierpień but I left that so it shows a spelling error. If you right click on Sierpień it causes a crash So a partial success, screenshot shows the hyphenation working, whether it is valid I don't know Hours of fun ps translation for non-Poles like me: The boy stood on the burning deck with a glass of bison grass vodka Chłopiec stał na płonącym pokładzie ze szklanką wódki z trawy żubrowej Where is Red October? Gdzie jest Czerwony Październik?

Using Photo V1.10.6 on windows 11 without OpenCL this file causes an immediate crash. All this hif/heif/heic stuff is a moving target and I find the only reliable way is to convert to another format eg using imagemagick It has four eight bit channels so I used magick HEIFImage.HEIC png32:HEIFImage.png which opens properly. If you have a folder full of similar files you can use mogrify to speed up the process

Make the document the same size as the label, use N-Up in the print dialog, adjust gaps and margins to suit

I'm pleased you succeeded FWIW I only worked it out by building the design in Inkscape, saved as svg, opened in Affinity and figured out what it needed. I don't use Affinity for serious svg work, far too many issues for me to bother working around

I can't read your V2 file and I might be off with my understanding that you want to isolate something from a jpg then cut holes in that I don't have a case but I do have a cake so that will have to do 1) use an image layer not pixel 2) use Geometry/Merge Curves not Boolean subtract to form the clipping object What I did is in the pdf, any other approach will result in rasterisation of the clipped image Good luck ClippingCake.pdf

If I'd stumped up 1800 quid for that lens plus the body plus a sturdy tripod plus a gimbal plus someone to carry it the last thing I would use is Photo with lensfun correction. I couldn't find it on DxO, maybe Capture One or Adobe but why not use Nikon software? If that lens ever makes it into lensfun I'll eat my chapeau

Alter colour on image

It's a montage. Mr Red Circle and the two chaps in front weren't there, zoom in and there are lots of giveaways not least the non existent shadows -
Alter colour on image

I sampled a reddish colour in the guy's face then sampled a browner spot from the guy two to the right So I changed #B66762 to #A86957 by a procedural texture R-14/255 G+2/255 B-11/255 It looked too green so I tried R-14/255 G-4/255 B-11/255 If that looks ok try the overlay in the zip, it's a neutral grey modified with that procedural texture. Place it over the face with the blend mode set to soft light. All very subjective of course. Can't upload the picture here so that's zipped as well NewSkinColourOverlay.zip NewSkinColour.zip -
I don't see any fisheye, a little barrel but overall the correction is pretty good. If excellent is required then use PhotoLab or Capture One. The attached file, zipped to prevent forum mangling, has the PL image with red straight 1px lines on the left and right, if you do the equivalent on my image above then you can see the difference but most people wouldn't see it. The other image shows parallax correction, I don't know how to do that in Photo IMG_0410.zip

You can use Adobe LensProfiles, .lcp files, in the Photo lens profile folder although the results are poor in my experience. Photo does not work with Adobe CameraProfiles .dcp files
-
On V1 there is a registry entry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Serif\Affinity\Photo\1 "No Update Check"=dword:00000000 I changed the value to 1 and that stopped it. If you're confident with editing the registry you could look for the equivalent in V2
-
V1 users can add the attached xml to the lens profile folder and it'll auto apply the correction Basic correction on the top image, additional correction below using the sliders Camera added to lensfun Oct 27, 2022 V1.10.6 lens-correction-data.dat file created 28/11/22 CanonG7-III.xml

There are a couple of issues with Photo and Canon files, it can be incorrect interpretation of the metadata hence not applying any lens correction or misunderstanding the lensfun data. Without knowing the body & lens you're using it's impossible to advise further, not all CR3 files are equal. carl123 mentioned posting a problem file shortly after your initial post, that's the way forward

I always thought a ligature was a tourniquet, quelle surprise As I understand it, ligatures as a default are on, exporting to pdf subsetting fonts is the default Surely most folk, bearing in mind that this is a low cost program that attracts non-professionals, won't understand or want to get involved in this stuff so ligatures as a default should be off then clever people that want them can turn them on and know enough to embed the complete font? I had a quick play using Calibri which seems to be one of the worst culprits. It's trivial to turn off the ligatures in the base style as long as one is aware.
-
Thanks, I'd already read that and some other gibberish but I'm none the wiser. Maybe again after more coffee
-
haha, story of my life No idea what EnterpriseDataProtectionId means, other than that it looks like text Hopefully a clever person will be along to explain You could try pasting to Irfanview, that's very good for all sorts of formats Incidentally, .ps1 files can be run from Explorer with a right click thus:

If you have your template on the clipboard and run this Powershell script then it will display the clipboard formats and copy them to the clipboard overwriting your template. Paste that into a reply to this post and someone should recognise whether it is valid for Affinity or not eg copying a bitmap from Photo produces Portable Document Format PNG DeviceIndependentBitmap Serif Persona Nodes System.Drawing.Bitmap Bitmap Format17 copying text from a text editor produces System.String UnicodeText Text Locale OEMText Use at your own risk, no responsibility accepted if your clocks all go forward one hour ClipboardFormats.ps1

I have just spent some time playing with 11 files, 65500 on the long side x about 43000 on the other, various sizes from 56MB to 110 I cannot get imagemagick to process them in a batch, it chokes on the 4th file and gets <ctrl>C and a bad word Photo took 40s for the OK to appear then 4m 47s to process = 29.7s each Irfanview took 2m 21s = 12.8s each or 2m 34s including sharpen and set dpi to 120 = 14s each I think we have a winner but it's only for windows
-
I didn't think of that, you win

Flying a bit blind without a screenshot but why not duplicate the object and use it to clip the png file?
-
But that does very different correction here compared with the IS lens which was used in your case On V1 the lens data is in C:\Program Files\Affinity\Photo\Resources\lens-correction-data.dat which is some sort of binary gibberish Additional profiles can be placed in C:\ProgramData\Affinity\Photo\1.0\LensProfiles These can include lensfun xml files produced after the Photo version was released, which will supplement the builtins, or modified files which will supersede the builtins. Adobe lcp's can also be used but don't work well in my experience So yeah, there's a problem with EF-S lenses on full frame bodies which can be fixed by changing the crop factor from 1.6 to 1 as I've done in the two xml's I've posted in this thread
-
If I had to wait an hour for the OK button to appear I'd look for another approach. Unless you are applying some special effects via macros I cannot think of anything that could not be achieved with imagemagick without that ridiculous wait, apart from converting to .afphoto files of course. What exactly does your batch job do?
-
ghostscript eg gswin64 -dPDFINFO EmbeddedFonts.pdf will produce this output on screen, haven't worked out how to write it to file
