Affinity Publisher - Connect text to box
GentleGiantEd posted a topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (Mac and Windows)
I have a PDF eBook I'm creating. I want some side boxes with text and maybe an image throughout the doc. What is the best way to produce this? Currently, I created an inline box and got the text over the top but I can't see how to connect them together so they stay together. When I select them both the "Group" feature doesn't activate. Is there a better way to accomplish this? Thanks -

i think I got it. I found the text frame panel and I see now that I can convert a rectangle to a text frame panel. Thanks -

Inline Lines to Write on - Affinity Publisher
GentleGiantEd posted a topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (Mac and Windows)
I have imported some tabs from Apple Notes that were using the line feature. Basically it looks like lines people can write on. After import, the lines disappeared. What is the best way to achieve the same effect? I want to create a space people can write some notes in a guide Im creating. Thank you -

Transparent Background with Affinity Designer
GentleGiantEd posted a topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (Mac and Windows)
I have a document I created. Right now it has a white background I want to make transparent. In Affinity Photo there is a checkbox I clicked to remove the background. I don't see that feature in AD. How do I export with a transparent background? -

I meant if it was at 0. That is what happened to me. I had no idea this had to be set. -

Maybe as a user like me drags the lever the Maximum Letter Spacing automatically moves if its not already set to a higher number. -
Signature with pict under it
GentleGiantEd posted a topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (Mac and Windows)
Need help understanding how to best proceed. Using Affinity Photo. Have an image that is 600 x 600 px at 72 dpi. What is the best way to shrink so it shows up clear to see when I place it on a web page? What I did was to write the signature with a font that looks like script then import the persons image (with a circular mask around it that I saved as a png file out of Affinity Photo) and place it below the signature. Problem is its really blurry when I try and use on a webpage. Can someone enlighten me as to what I am missing or best way to go about this? Thanks -

Getting back to this. Yes I had the dimensions wrong. Its actually 400 x 100 or 200 as suggested. So what Im not understanding is the best way to set the original? Do I create a large file say 1200 x 400 place my images and text, then export as a png file then shrink in the app? I've always heard in wordpress it's best to import images at the size you want them so it doesn't slow down load times. Ive always had a hard time understanding how to get smaller images to look clear. Appreciate this discussion. -

So is it best to create the overall image at hi res then in the application where I use it shrink it down? For example, in this case I want my final to be at 100 x 400. Do I create it much larger then scale on the webpage or am I thinking this wrong? My original headshot images are very large. What is the best way to shrink them then use in my signature goal?
