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!

You're right, all the info doesn't show in Mac's Get Info window, but it never has that I'm aware of. I go through a folder of photos that I've worked on to make sure all resolution and color space information are correct before placing in Publisher. I'm still stumped as to why random images are generated without this info. I'm moving on to version 2.0.3 in all three apps so hopefully I won't have that issue again. Thanks everyone for your input.

Yes, a Mac. Yet any other pictures, even screenshots, show all the information. Here's just one example. Why should I have to open it in Preview or any other app when I should just see it under the image in any folder? Not a major issue, just very surprised that the information wasn't automatically generated as it always is when created in a camera or on a computer.

When I converted an image in AP v1.10, no information was listed regarding dimensions, resolution, color space, color profile, or content creator. The image only had information on created, modified, and content created date/time. I only knew it had been converted to CMYK when I opened it in PS CS6. Is there something else that needs to be selected before converting to a specific space?

I won't be at that computer for another 8 days, but I'm assuming if I try the same thing it will crash again. I could then copy that crash report and attach it if it would help.

Thanks again Walt for always being there!

All three times, and I responded to the first two. Figured the third time would be a waste of time, both mine and theirs. I didn't notice, but I think it just went to Apple. No separate request from Affinity. Does Apple share the info with developers? I always just assumed they did.

I tried three times and each time it crashed the program. version 1.10.6

And this is what I get, with no way to move the text onto the individual pages.

Walt, I finally figured out what I think you were telling me. I selected the Contents text frame and created a new paragraph/text style for it, which disconnected it from the TOC. Now when I update/refresh the TOC, I only see the chapters listed. I can be a bit slow at times after using InDesign for twenty-plus years. I have to reconfigure my brain.

Thanks, Walt. I could easily delete the Contents line, but I'm trying to figure out why it was included in the first place. I'm in the Paragraph panel but I see nothing to tick (check) or untick that makes any difference, and I've tried all the possibilities that I can find. The Contents title is in a different text frame if that's causing the issue, but I still can't figure out how to eliminate the entry except deleting the line manually.
