Hi everyone,
In affinity designer/photo I have an image that is 1800x2700 px. I created a new document in affinity that has a 300x300 px size and copied this image. Then after resizing the image to fit the document, I saw a quality loss, especially when zooming in the image. I always assumed that small images lose in quality when being enlarged, but here I'm experiencing the opposite. How can I achieve the same result without losing quality?

Thanks @Old Bruce for the tip. I used Migrate option when applying the master but it didn't solve the issue. However, doing so unlocked the cell I was trying to center vertically (it was locked before). So maybe it isn't the best way to do it but my problem is solved now.

Hi,
I'm relatively new to affinity publisher. I'm making changing the vertical alignment of a cell in a master page from center to top. However, I don't see those changes reflected on my existing pages with this master applied. Needless to say that if I applied again the master to these mages with the clear option I get the right vertical alignment but I lose the text I already filled on this page. Is there some option I must activate to update the changes on pages when the master have been modified or I'm I missing something here?

I didn't use an Excel file, in fact I just chose calibiri because I'm used to use MS office products like word or Excel.
Im' out of ideas too. I hope someone would find a solution.

Thank you @h_d for taking the time to help me with this. All the rows of the table have the same behavior.
I'm still stuck on this and I'm beginning to consider using text objects on top of the table to get around this.
-
Thanks @h_d for your answer. As you can see in my first screenshot, Use Baseline Grid is deactivated so I cannot select or deselect it. I tried to change different options in the table panel but without any result. Any idea how to fix this?

Hi,
I'm new to tables in affinity publisher. When I set text to be vertical (rotate 270 degrees), I saw that the height of the row auto-expanded as I inserted new letters (see screenshot). How can I deactivate this behavior?

Hi,
When opening a PDF file with Adobe Reader, I can see in the document property panel that its dimensions are 317,4 mm x 234,9 mm. However, when opening the file with affinity designer (right-click on the file, then open with affinity designer), I can see in the document setup that its dimensions are now 311,09 x 228,6 mm. Is there a way I can open a PDF file while keeping the original dimensions? (It's a template, so dimensions are important)

Thanks @Old Bruce your answer. It was the "Move Tool" that made the rectangle appears. When selecting the View Tool (the hand), I had a real good look at my page without any disturbance. Good tip 👍

Hi,
Whenever I add text in affinity designer, it's surrounded with a "blue rectangle" that I believe would be some sort of "guides" (see attached image). How can I disable those "guides" as they prevent me from seeing the final rendering of my page?

Thank you @R C-R for your answer. I'm new to Affinity Designer, so whenever I had to draw something I created a new layer. But after reading your comment, I just realized that affinity designer already creates automatically a layer every time I draw something. In my previous experiences with other softwares like GIMP for example, If I didn't create a new layer, I would draw on the selected layer. Now I see the Affinity works differently.
Sorry @Old Bruce, it's nothing as sophisticated, just a newbie question 😅
-
Thank you for your answers. Even when I'm selecting a layer, when I click the "Add layer" button in the bottom toolbar of the layer panel, it automatically adds a new layer on top of the list.
@Alfred : Using drag and drop is not very effective as I have lots of layers
@R C-R : Layer > Insertion > default is selected.

Hi guys,
I'm looking for a simple functionality in affinity designer but couldn't find it. I want to add a new layer under the one I'm selecting. When I add a new layer, it's automatically placed on the top of the layer list, which is not very convenient when you have hundreds of layers and sublayers. I hope there is a way to quickly add a new layer exactly where I want it to be created instead of cutting/pasting the newly created layer which is time-consuming.

Hi,
I used to modify an ellipse diametre through the transform panel by entering the exact value in the Height or width field.
But when selecting multiple ellipses I can no longer do this as the values somehow add up.

Hi @firstdefence,
The contour tool did the trick! Thank you so much for your answer, it was very helpful!

Hi,
I'm new to affinity designer. I imported a .ai file containing big letters. Now I want to make the lines thinner but I can't because there are actually 2 lines that are filled (so reducing the stroke width doesn't work). Is there a simple way to reduce for example to space between those 2 lines?

@Alfred thanks for your kind reply. In fact, I just want a portion of the initial image, like 20% of it, but still, as the image is pretty big I have to resize it to fit the 300x300 px document. Actually, I got a decent quality in Affinity designer, but when exporting the image, quality really dropped. So to put my question differently, how can I keep at least a similar quality to the editor when exporting my image (PNG extension)?
