See attached video where I show the settings I’ve used to knock something up very quickly
Very clever as usual. Being a thicko I used Inkscape. Sadly, Affinity can't read any of the vector outputs so I resorted to a png

Possibly using Constraints
This is Publisher V1, top is as designed snapped to grid
Bottom is a copy expanded using the group handles -
Here's my contribution for forum members that have the same need
Place the python file into a new folder, add ImageList.txt containing the image urls, one per line, no quotes
Run ImageURLs.py
Then use Photo to process the files
Of course Python can be used to manipulate the image but that's outwith the scope of this forum
Use, abuse, modify or ignore 🙂 -
Exiftool reports:
Creator Tool : Astro Pixel Processor by Aries Productions - version 1.083.4
History Software Agent : Affinity Photo 2 2.1.0
So was it started in Photo then mangled with Astro Pixel? I've never seen 4800dpi before
No wonder I drink... -
That's quite a dirty file, the only program I have that will open it is Photo V1
Saving it as an uncompressed tiff:
45,974,774 SN2023ixf-M101-APnocomp.tiff
163,924,042 SN2023ixf-M101.tiffClutching at straws I would turn off hardware acceleration and if that doesn't work I'd set the renderer to WARP

That's not how I understand masks to work
When you draw the initial marquee and make the mask, the mask layer is black apart from the marqueed area which is white, black conceals, white revealsTo extend an existing mask
<ctrl>click on the mask in the Layers panel
turn the mask visibility off
with the marquee tool set to Add, make further selections
Edit/Fill and choose white
turn the mask visibility on -
You can use urls in New stack or New batch job dialogs but they need to be added one at a time
So with a text file open you could cut each row and paste it into Affinity. 100 files is doable, I'd baulk at 1000
I'd sooner wrie a Python script to download them but if you're unable to do that the above is an idea -
Further to v_kyr's comment, it seems that affinity doesn't properly evaluate the value of em
If you replace "1em" with "25.5", ie the font-size in the affected tspans, then the file opens ok in affinity
Too many issues with affinity and svgs to use it seriously I'm afraid -
Can you post some images showing your problem?
Below the mask, outlined in red, was created from a marquee. The loop upper right was done with a white paintbrush, the loop lower left was done with a midgrey colour. It seems to work for me -

I don't understand what you're trying to achieve here, does this screenshot help?

Open your graphic with 9 images in Publisher
For each ticket add an art text, I use 888 to set spacing and font size
Data merge manager: select the file
Fields panel: substitute the 888's for the relevant field
Generate
Export to pdfRandom sample
If you're using Excel use a cell format 00# to get the leading zeros, save as csv and use that in the datamerge, I've attached a csv that runs from 001 to 999

It's the same in V1, eg table on master page, type something into the table on page 1 and the link to the master is broken
Modify the master, reapply it and you get two tables as you've observed but there's a warning message which you may have missed
So the next challenge is to transfer the old stuff to the new empty table, easy enoughish if the tables are small so the old one can be repositioned but not so good if they're both full page, probably create a new page, relocate the old table to that then copy/paste between the two
Quirky or what? -
I don't see why the first image can't have a box shadow like the one above it, the cigar box is a cinch to cut out with the pen, no idea about wobbly edges. At the end of the day, images on a web page are only going to approximate what you'd see in a gallery. It's a case of experimentation but I prefer speed using a hard crop and css rather than struggling to select the flamin' thing. Patience is a virtue I'm a bit short of. Actually I've scanned the bottom edge, a couple of ideas in the svg. The screenshot shows a hard crop with the bottom edge replaced. Needs more work but might be an idea

There's no lens info in the metadata so Photo doesn't know what to do
You could try
exiftool -Tagsfromfile goodfile test.tif
to see if that helps. By goodfile I mean the original capture so that the metadata is intact
Or you could experiment with
exiftool -Tagsfromfile Panic.mie test.tif
which will embed metadata for an Olympus ED 12mm F2.0 lens and reduce the vignetting but the distortion correction may not be acceptable
Panic.mie was produced by
exiftool -Tagsfromfile P9170025.ORF -lens* -make* Panic.mie -

without resorting to fake drop shadows
Your call but some of the fakes can look pretty good and it's a darn sight easier with a hard crop and css shadows

Data merge using svg originals
Generate then Export all pages to pngs
Dead quick -
Can't be done, even if you place an image file as linked rather than embedded, svg export will embed the image as base64 data as you've found. Use a text editor to put it right. I'm amazed that you have width="1200px" height="1600px", in V1 I get width="100%" height="100%"

a rotational aspect to the filter such as motion blur. That is more of what I am trying to change every layer/frame
That's a bit different from the accumulative ripple effect I considered
I think you'd need a macro that would use the original image, duplicate it, apply the motion blur with the eyes ticked so that you could change the angle manually every time, that would become very tedious very quickly
Best thing to learn about Photo macros is if at third you don't suceed, give up
I'd be inclined to use imagemagick -motion-blur radius{xsigma}+angle and change the parameters in a batch file -
If you just want to use the brush then you need to give the asset save selection thingy something to bite on so use a brush set to low opacity to delimit the shape, I hope the screenshot is understandable. Having said that, Brian's method is the way to go

What about a macro that
Applies the Filter/Distort/Ripple
Duplicates the layerThen run the macro as many times as you want to create umpteen layers/animation frames
Use the Export persona to create slices of all layers then export them -
Walt beat me again but I'm not giving up

That camera is rather new and is not supported by libraw
https://www.libraw.org/supported-cameras
so Photo version2 will not handle the raw files. Version1 is unlikely to be updated so it will never handle them
I suggest using Canon software DPP or if you must use Affinity then try Adobe DNG converter
Affinity Photo V2 auf W11 - ICC-Profil ISOcoated_v2 nicht auffindbar
in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)

It looks like you are tryng to attach a CMYK profile to an RGB image so that profile isn't available during export
You can try by using a Soft Proof adjustment layer and exporting with that adjustment on, which is unusual and will mangle the colours
