You're welcome.

Officially, you can export them from their respective studio panels to .afstyles, .afbrushes, and .afassets files and then import them on the other computer.
Unofficially you can copy the internal files from the user folder on one computer to the other one. The FAQ tells you where they're located.

RogerFx reacted to ElleGee in Photo Book with Publisher
Hi RogerFx, Although I haven't used them, Presto Photo seems well set up to work with files generated with Affinity Publisher: https://www.prestophoto.com/help/Affinity+Publisher
Also, I found a web designer/trainer on Youtube (Elaine Giles) who has created two excellent tutorials specifically on how to use Affinity Publisher to create photobooks. In the first one she goes into great detail on how to create the specs page for any photobook printer. Very helpful! In the video description she has provided a linked index to each topic she covers, so you can save time if you prefer.
Cheers!

RogerFx got a reaction from spidermurph in Change default tool in Affinity Photo
Totally agree that the default tool should be selectable or set the move tool as the default.

Admittedly, you caught me on a good day @RogerFx. But it was a fun exercise and I'm glad you like the result.

RogerFx reacted to Patrick Connor in MSI Installer upadate?
The Sandboxed MSIX and unsandboxed MSI installers are meant to always be coincident (released at the same time). 2.0.4 being a bit later was an outlier

RogerFx reacted to Patrick Connor in Affinity Designer 2 for Windows - (2.0.4)
A customer has put together their thoughts on this here
We don't believe there to be significant differences (though some are side by side performance testing at the moment). The main reason is for larger companies who cannot distribute MSIX yet, and have asked for traditional installs for their networks and processes. The software will function near identically with either.

Hi, no but posting, a question of a doubt I have:
Besides the obvious reason between the (sandboxed) MSIX application installer and the (unsandboxed) MSI/EXE traditional installer and some comments mentioned somewhere about other apps affecting the proper functioning of your apps, myself in two years or more I have not experience any problem with the exe installer, I am more concern if there is any difference regarding CPU and RAM use or any other advantage or disadvantage that you could outline.
Thanks for your comments.

RogerFx reacted to smadell in How can I mask part of an image using Source Layer Ranges of Blend Modes or Luminosity Range Mask
Glad to help, @RogerFx.

RogerFx reacted to smadell in How can I mask part of an image using Source Layer Ranges of Blend Modes or Luminosity Range Mask
Good morning, @RogerFx. I noticed that your question has gone unanswered for quite a long time, and thought I'd chime in. This might be an ideal time to use a Compound Mask. You can mask the case (but leave the handles) by creating two separate mask layers. In my example (below) I have a dark room (with a red Recolor adjustment to make it easier to see) and a second layer that contains your case. First, use the Luminosity Range Mask on the Case layer, just as you've done in your screenshot. This will get rid of the black background, and will also let the background show through that central portion (where the white bars are). Add a second mask to the Case – a regular mask – and paint Black over the handles. Now, you can select the Case layer and add a Compound Mask. Drag both the Luminosity Range mask and the Regular hand-drawn mask onto the Compound Mask, leaving the compounding method to "Add." That should get you the result you're after, and both the masks remain editable.
EDIT - The second mask should not be a white mask painted with black. Instead it is a black mask, painted with white over the handles. When you compound this with the Luminosity Range mask, the white areas “Add” and allow the handles to be shown.

RogerFx reacted to nicecap in Change default tool in Affinity Photo
Same here
I never open any affinity product just for viewing over an image - I always want to start working immediately so Move Tool should be the default. Better would be a setting which tool you want to start with for all 3 affinity products as a default. Can't be too complicated, right?
Please!

please Develover can we have this option on this problem [ in affinity photo ] ..

RogerFx reacted to highab in Change default tool in Affinity Photo
I'm definitely interested in the default tool either being the move tool or me being able to choose the default tool. I have a lot of documents that have embedded documents and every time I open an embedded document I then have to remember to change from the move tool, i.e. the tool I was using 2 seconds before I entered the embedded document.

Yes that is "sad", and makes no sense, just slows down the work flow.
Well not a deal breaker, and hopefully this will be correcte in future version.
Thanks for the quick reply.

RogerFx reacted to erikatmagnethi in Change default tool in Affinity Photo
Is there any way to set the Move tool "arrow" tool (v) as default instead of the hand tool or view tool (H).
Normally you just use space bar to move around using the hand tool, for easy work flow you want to be able to edit right away when opening a file etc. and for that the select tool off course needs to be default (exactly as in Photo shop)
