    Menue “File / Show in Finder ...”.

    Sorry, I misunderstood your request, I thought you wanted to keep the objects in place and scale them individually. Maybe “Constraints” are more suited to your idea? You can add the spacings as invisible objects that don't change in size (width resp. height) while scaling the parent container.

    Click on the icon to “transform objects separately” (highlighted in blue in my screenshot), select the midpont in the “Transform” studio panel (if appropriate) and adjust the width and height proportionally for all selected objects.

    Then you'll have to wait for Serif to add the missing feature or live with some plugin. I'll continue with my approach and get the job done effectively. And if you search these forums, you'll find IM mentioned and suggested quite a lot.

    May I suggest to take a look at ImageMagick? For batch processing it's possible to run for f in *.jpg; do magick $f -density 72 `basename $f .jpg`-k.jpg; done Of course, there are tons of other options to adjust your desired results.

    Here's a preliminary version of the cover spread.

    @Sean PThis issue is successfully fixed in Affinity 2.1 Beta. Thanks.

    I second your and repeat my request.

    Saal Digital and WhiteWall provide separate IDML files for the cover and the pages block according to the desired format and page count. SD's page block consists of spreads, WW's of individual pages. The cover IDML is a spread in both cases. A quick glance at Blurb's PDF pages suggests their specific plugin for Adobe InDesign, but I recall that Affinity Publisher is also supported. The Blurb evangelist Dan Milnor talks about his preferred setup (iPad Pro and the Affinity Suite!) in his latest Q&A 48 video.

    Correct. I'm currently designing a small photo book with APub V2 and use Aeroko as main font. From the exported PDF I can copy and paste the text just fine.

    For creators, vero seems popular. For art photographers, 1x is a dedicated platform with a price tag.

    Can you tell about the print service you used for this nice work? It surely deserves high-quality paper, even for a single copy. Well done!

    Side note: The Affinity Help page for Layer Blending claims that Divide is one of the most commonly used modes. Either that's not quite so and nobody stumbled on the misbehaviour, or users are content with the false results. (Or my multi-layered and multi-fx'ed approach was too much for the poor program.)
  14. Andreas Scherer
    @HangmanCool. I'll stick with the V1 bug, because it's unlikely that the project will ever be updated to V2. Case closed.
  15. Andreas Scherer
    Done.

    Affinity 2.0.4 MacOS 12.6.3 Monterey The canonical way to Import Content does not work for affont files, e.g., the Publication Typefaces from the Creative Collection. See multiple threads and in the support forum. A workaround is to drag and drop the affont files from Finder to the main Affinity windows (all three apps on MacOS). Note that Import Content does work for afbrushes and afassets files, e.g. Spray Paint Brushes and Textures by MiksKS.

    There's at least one more report from a Mac user; @walt.farrellI think you are running the Windows version.
  18. Andreas Scherer
    @walt.farrell The problem (at least for me) is less that the fonts have to be activated in each of the three programs separately, but that the canonical method of using “File / Import content...” as described by @Patrick Connordoesn't work at this time. (I could, of course, open a genuine bug report, but after dragging all *.affont files into the three app windows all is fine, and I don't want to “uninstall” the fonts in order to reproduce the “bug”.)
  19. Andreas Scherer
    Same issue in Monterey.

    Here is the nested group of “Pearls” that actually reproduces the malign effect. Perlen.afdesign

    For my configuration (German version of Affinity 2.0.4 on MacOS 12.6.3 Monterey) this did not work, i.e., the fonts were not displayed in the avaiable fonts list. However, dragging the *.affont files from Finder into the main app window works fine.

    I'm working on a complex design in AD V1 with lots of effects on levels and groups; see first screenshot (with rulers on top). When I open this project in AD V2, several effects have no effect; see second screenshot.
  23. Andreas Scherer
    At least in the German version of all three apps (2.0.4 on Monterey 12.6.3) “Datei / Inhalt importieren...” does not bring the fonts into the available fonts list. Dragging the *.affont files into the main app window works fine, though.
  24. Andreas Scherer
    I'm using the base model (8GB RAM, 256GB SSD) of the Mac Mini M1 (both at home and at work) and it is definitively comfortable to use with the Affinity suite, so I'd be confident that the Mac Mini M2 would be a great tool as well (and allegedly, it's even cheaper than the M1 machine).
  25. Andreas Scherer
    Do you have only the V2 apps installed?
