Thanks @Alfred that solved it. I did paste special. Also after closer look, my image is actually pixelated. (my bad - stupid of me to say that it was vector). Very stupid. Thank you

hi @Old Bruce The original images has a lot of colors, it's pixelated (vs. vector). I've stretched it and played around with the shape. The color overlay looks like it's vector to me because I can zoom into it, without any pixelation. I want to remove the underlying image but keep the color overlay (100% opacity) I'm using Affinity Publisher

Hi, Is there a way to remove the underlying image which takes up file space, but leave its color overlay (100% opacity) ? I'm trying to reduce the file size of my file. So I want to remove the actual image but keep the overlay color Thank you FYI: I have all three affinity products and thank you for this great application.

@thomaso and @Lagarto I just wanted to let you know that I'm not ignoring your comments. I was a little be sick earlier and feel better now. I am just going to reread your comments again and look up the recommend way you prescribed (with style or heading style or something like that which I need to re-read) Thank you so much for your help Thank you for your help guys @DWright @Old Bruce @thomaso @Lagarto

hi @Old Bruce I never change the text in the Master Page. I only changed the text in the child page.

@DWright Yup, it's confirmed. Sorry for late reply, was a little sick. I'm going to read the rest of the posts here.

Ah @Lagarto that's incredible insight. Thank you Sir

Hi, for Affinity publisher: Any reason why changing color of text in master page doesn't get updated in the child pages? I have changed the context of child text and after, I noticed it stopped updating the color, although it would update the location (when I change it in the mater) or the effects (like when I add outline in the mater, child would get updated. But not the color). Any way to get this working again? Thank you all that you do, Ayman Forgot to add: For text fields that never had any changes in content, changing the color in the master will work as expected (i.e. it also change the color in the child page)

Thank you @telemax and @Lagarto for your answers. I didn't know this stuff

Hi, Sorry if this so going to be stupid question. Does anyone know a way to subtract shapes in affinity designer. I can subtract square, but I can't subtract custom shape (blue - red). I've also attached the "afdesign" file just in case anyone wants proof. FYI: The custom shape is made from combining a circle with a rounded rectangle Thanks subtract.afdesign

Looks like my Adobe pdf Viewer had "Replace Document Colors" checked! Not sure how this even happened. I unchecked it. I never touched adobe preferences but somehow it was checked. I'm sorry to lead on a wild goose chase but if you had not checked it from your end I would have been perpetually stuck. Luckily it's now solved. I started looking and fixed it according to this youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_N7PgpkH8lM basically the screenshot below. I remove the check mark and it worked Thank you @NotMyFault and @walt.farrell This is really my bad for wasting your time like that I really tried to find solution before posting here. I was investigating for whole week

Thank you, I've uploaded here It's 6MB size because I embedded the images (though I don't think that is related to the pdf issue) manual.afpub attached manual.afpub

Another odd thing, if I shrink the box I can see it in the pdf (see purple color in screenshot) --- But if I increase rectangle size, I can't see the color purple anymore (see purple color in screenshot)

hi @walt.farrell I'm put a rectangle tool in the Master Page and made the rectangle color to yellow. I applied all the pages to it

hi Background color not picking up color when exporting to pdf. I just get white color instead of yellow. Anyone had this problem before? Thanks I never had any issue with this until recently. I didn't change anything. When I export to PNG or JPEG background color picks up correctly (i.e. yellow), but when I export to PDF, for some reason it doesn't pick it up. It shows as white instead of Yellow. Anyone else had this problem? I don't think I've had it before. My Color Format is RGB/8 Color Profile sRGB IEC61966-2.1 Thank you
