I have been trying to export to a PDF format with all the different types and settings I can think of. I kind of went crazy with the new perspective tool, but hey..... I used text frames for text on the document mostly, and those are what I used the perspective warp on. I have included the publisher 2 file, the png of the finish product (what the PDF should look like), and a PDF showing all the export issues. It is a new tool, the perspective tool for affinity, so either someone can inform me that I am using it all wrong, this is indeed a bug, or both. Either way, any help or thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you! Percussion Concert Flyer.afpub Percussion Concert Flyer.pdf

Like I said, I just don't know any professionals that really does it.

That may be your opinion, but I have yet to see that in reality.

My quote you clipped answers that question.

Well I don’t know a single pro that needs image tracing every day, every job, every customer. Not sure where you got that from my statement. But when you do need it, not having it is a handicap pros will not choose. Not long term anyway.

umm…..no professional is going to knowingly choose a handicap when time is money. Thanks for digging up that article though.

I don't presume to know what goes into the development of image tracing as a software feature. But they need to figure it out. It's one of the first questions asked every time a major update comes out. And make no mistake, it is a feature that keeps power users in the industry from choosing their suite over adobe.

I have the same issue. I want the guides to be visible the entire time. I have to be moving a later or object in order for them to appear regardless of what color I make them. it is super annoying that they aren’t even visible when I initially add them. I have to click in the middle of no where and guess in order to select it. if I am missing a preference option somewhere, someone please tell me. Super annoying.

Since there is no tracing option for Affinity Designer yet, I usually use the vector brush tool to trace the outline of a drawing to get the shape. But I don't usually get this accomplished in one continuous line. Therefore, I have to use the node selection tool (white arrow) to join the pathway segments together. As I was attempting to do so on my iPad Pro, my vector pathway would start accumulating quite a bit of nodes. Eventually, it would no longer allow me to join another curve pathway without crashing. When I reopen the file, it was a version of the file that was at least 2 saves back from my recent saved version. However, when I open the file and try the same process on the macOS version, everything works fine. I am able to join more curves and save the file as expected. I can only assume this is either a bug with iOS 14 and Affinity Designer or it is a deliberate hampering of the computing power of the iPad Pro by Affinity. Has any one else experienced this issue? I am running the latest version of iPadOS 14.0.1 and the latest version of Affinity Designer on both operating systems.
