That is correct, see the Help

40 50 0 0 @ 100% looks the same as 80 100 0 0 @ 50% but without the blending issues
For some reason I couldn't see the vertical text
Apologies if I've misunderstood and it's twaddle -
The screenshot below shows an image in Chrome with the same image in Irfanview at 100%. The Chrome image is larger because the browser uses the Windows system/display/scale settings which is set here at 125%. If you run the attached html file it will display window.devicePixelRatio which shows here as 1.25 hence the pixellation through browser upsizing. If you're using Mac I suppose there is something similar

I doubt it as Canva has Magic Animate
Here I've used the mirror filter and simply taken screenshots at diffent Number of mirrors, stacked, cropped and exported as slices then

I found the culprit - some file called PersonaBackstore.dat
There could well be more
Powershell users can use this script. I got fed up with the lousy housekeeping so wrote this to report the extent of the crime. It's been extended and my version will delete the junk but I'm not sharing that in case it causes an eclipse or worse

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 holsatb

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 funps translation for non-Poles like me:

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 objectWhat I did is in the pdf, any other approach will result in rasterisation of the clipped image
Good luck -
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

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

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 -

so no vignette that I can see but a small amount of what resembles fisheye distortion
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 -
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:00000000I 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

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

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

Serif Persona Nodes
System.Drawing.Bitmap

Yes, edge sharpness, what we used to call acutance in the darkroom days
Lots of info about sharpening on the internet, much of it twaddle
If you read an expert, the late Bruce Fraser, he recommended using Luminosity blend mode and restricting sharpening to midtones between levels 25 & 200 which translates to 10 & 78 in Photo Blend Ranges. The attached macro attempts to do that, adjust USM parameters as required
As an example I took an image 5076x3806 px and resized using Bicubic to 800x600, saved as png without sharpening, with Photo USM at radius=0.3, factor=2 and the macro. These were converted to webp at quality 65 using cwebp
File sizes:
webp65 png
34386 640974 SharpenNone
55290 788657 SharpenUSM
53586 761879 Sharpen25-200
Now a visual example. Note how a browser will follow windows display settings and upscale images. This can be corrected with Javascript. Note also that sharpening can be done on an unsharpened image by the browser. It's not much different from using an image editor and there is a good saving on filesize. File zipped to avoid forum mangling
Bonus point if you know the location
