VJS

I found it by trying different combinations, but I was looking at this list of layer commands, I'm assuming from Affinity, and it says Cmd-click.

Even back to PS6 (and earlier versions), all you had to do was double-click on the mask in the layers panel and the marching ants reappeared, allowing you to add/subtract/refine, etc. the mask. Nothing like that is possible in AP, as explained above. An important feature missing and very frustrating.

Walt, That one page—list—is the only place I did want it. The others, with your help, I was able to fix, although it didn't happen in other areas of the book where there was at least one page of text. The book was sent off to the printer yesterday.

Resource Manager, where I relinked all of them (400+), showed that all were a minimum of 300 DPI.

Shut down AP, then my computer—only restarted yesterday—went for a walk, restarted the computer, opened up the document, and BINGO, all photos showing properly. Gremlins? Thanks again, Walt. While searching for the resolution, I went into Preferences and found these settings I'd set who knows when. Under Retina Rendering there is an option, High Quality (slowest), but I've kept it at Automatic (Best) as I've never had issues before.

I'm having the same issue. I just relinked all of my photos (local drive) after returning from travel, and they are all pixilated. InDesign had a choice of showing photos in low res to speed up the app or high res (slower on old machines) to see the document as it would be printed. Where is that choice? I remember seeing it in AP, but now can't find it. anywhere. All I can find in View is the below screenshot and no changes there make any difference.

Walt, you're a saint! The current document is 412 pages long with many photos. What I've been having trouble with is the Introduction which is spread over 9 pages (not all text). There is a second section of text that covers multiple pages. I I have issues there, I'll send something. I'll try copying those pages only and delete the photos. Never tried that before.

I hope this helps. This includes the first section that I've been discussing. 2023-12-10 Courts_short for Walt.afpub

Yes, Walt, I did and text within the frame at times. Sorry for the delay as I switched to working with the resource manager and dealing with all the images in the document. I had to do something that worked the way it was supposed to.

I knew I'd hear from you, Walt. Thanks, I'll do that. It's been driving me nuts because it works the way it should on my laptop, but not on my desktop. I can go up 6–7 pt sizes before I see any change, yet on my laptop, every pt. changes it—as it should. I must have clicked something somewhere I shouldn't have.

Old Bruce. Good idea, but I checked that and saw nothing. I had seen it at various times over the last few days and corrected it. I was used to seeing that during my many years using InDesign.

I finally found, and now show the text frame panel, but all Baseline Grid choices are grayed out. These are all linked text frames that, I'm assuming, were created at the same time because I certainly didn't specify anything. They all say "Relative to: Top inset". When I create a new one, it says the same, but if I click on "Use independent baseline grid, then I have 6 choices. I'm assuming this "Default (top inset)" is automatically used when creating. Is there any way to change them all and also, for later documents, set another default? Also, after sending the last response, I tried clicking another paragraph style. It changed as expected. When I clicked back on the one I wanted—BOOM—it set that paragraph's leading correctly. Am I finding bugs in the software, because this just doesn't seem normal.

Still struggling to try to obtain consistency. In the example below, all paragraphs in this entire section of text have the same paragraph style applied & pages so far are complying. Then I get to the last 2.5 pages, and BOOM, drastically different leading. Fraying my nerves! Even moving the text frames around (not resizing) on the page has different lines showing.

I can't get the leading to change within a paragraph! It's driving me nuts. I change it, in the example from 12pt to 10pt in the blue paragraph, and no change. In the detailed description, I see an override 13pt, but I can't change it. In InDesign, which I can't use anymore (changed OS), you could change it by tenths and see a preview. Here, nothing changes at all, and no preview!
