    Nope. I'm using Krita and GIMP on Linux!

    I bought it and used it when I was using Windows 7.

    One more reason that I abandoned Windows. That thread is beautiful lol. Tell us again how we're wrong to request Linux compatibility. But it sucks that I'll never be able to use the Affinity software that I paid for.

    Good to know. I'm going to try to avoid Wine and just use native Linux stuff if I can!

    I see that Krita let's you do CMYK color space. So this will replace Gimp and Affinity for me. I used Affinity for printed materials when I was using Windows. I've abandoned Windows and now Krita seems to be basically my only option. And it's pretty good.

    You should make this available for Linux. You'd dominate that market because there simply isn't anything of Affinity's calibre available on Linux. Side-note: lots of non-Linux users in this thread explaining to us how we won't pay for the software we're asking to pay for and how our PCs don't work. You're incorrect lol. I refuse to use Windows or Mac and the only place where I feel the lack is graphics design in CMYK color space.

    I'm still trying to figure out this simple gradient... I'm just going to use GIMP for this task. Very frustrated.

    I need Photo for every other function of this work. This one little tiny thing, Photo does not do. And yet Photo deals with bleeds in the export dialogue, so it makes sense that they'd include some control over bleeds in the menus. That's fair. I'll add the crop marks and spine marks manually. It's useful to find out what each app does NOT do, so thanks all for the answers. It would be absurd to buy Publisher just to adjust the bleed, and Publisher doesn't create spine marks anyway (there should be a Book Cover Template which does ALL this stuff). So I'll do it manually!

    I attached the file, but I also found the problem in regards to Publisher. I hadn't filled out the bleed enough (it's drawn outside the visible image). So now I found that I can set the bleed in Publisher and use that to open the image in Photo, and then export, and the crop marks are flush with the image. But I cannot set the bleed within Photo. Obviously I'll never pay another $70 for that single feature. I'm extremely poor. There must be a way to set the bleed within Affinity Photo. It would be ridiculous to not include that. Publisher is only useful to me for that one single feature. So there has to be a way to do this one thing within Photo. What is going on here? Is Photo making a pretend bleed without my permission and sticking it between the image and the crop lines? margin_buddy.afpub

    I followed those instructions in Publisher with a brand new document, but it's still adding that white space! I find this really baffling since nobody else seems to have this problem, and I have it on all three Affinity products.

    Between Designer and Publisher, which one would do this the best? While I still have the free trials of both then I'll check to see how this works. But I haven't got it to work yet. Is it about setting the bleed dimensions? Does this happen in the export dialogue, or elsewhere? EDIT: In Designer I changed the bleed settings, and that had no effect on the export. I can't seem to get rid of that whitespace in Designer, Publisher, or Photo. Also, I can't afford multiple pieces of software anyway. And I'm confident there's a way to make this work in Photo.

    How can I do this? I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean just drawing the lines in manually? My position right now is that I will totally disable the "include printer marks" options, and manually create all the marks. But this is not preferable since it's more work for me.

    Hi. I bought Affinity Photo to make CMYK book covers for printing presses. They need me to provide a PDF complete with crop marks (and spine marks). They need these crop marks to reach the edge of the document like this: But when I export my file (whether I choose to "include bleed" or not) It always inserts extra whitespace between the image and the crop marks like this (where the yellow is the book cover's color): But I know that it's possible to get the lines flush with the image because I saw a video where a guy does it like this: So what am I doing wrong? I'm not using margins at all (and when I do it doesn't change anything). The bleed and trim are all incorporated within the document. I just want to export a PDF with crop marks touching the very edge! Please help! And thanks for reading. EDIT: Also, if anybody knows how to include "Spine Marks" then that would be great too!

    Hey, any updates on this topic with the new releases? I'm trying to figure out how to create my own guides in Affinity Photo (which I just purchased).
