  1. While FFT denoise looks powerful it clearly cannot resolve all halftones. In PS I would use smart blur which is really nice for halftone removal but I guess here is nothing similar in AP. Bottomline is of course that halftoned images cannot be really recovered fully. In B&W it is sometimes smarter to use copydot technique.
  2. If you just need sheets bigger you might: - print to A3 paper at 141 % (or bigger, essentially cropping extra) -crop all pages leaving only notes (Acrobat Pro and Apple Preview can do this at one go) - or you can place each page/duplicate imports and set page view in Publisher; and then do scale/crop as needed.
  3. Maybe "runt control" will come when/if Publisher gains paragraph level H&J as it would help that kind of automation hugely.
  4. Mac Mojave 16 GB RAM – AP takes 504 MB, PSCS6 takes 688 MB. No open documents. Memory usage of course varies depending a lot of variables and mainly OS decides how much each app has.
  5. C1, DXO Photolab and LR are the three big ones. Others are smaller players. It is debatable what are the differences in quality, speed and workflow with the 3 big ones (there certainly are differences though!). Also smaller players may well be good enough likewise considering quality, speed and workflow.
  6. Tried exporting 90X90 px RGB file to png, size is 269 bytes (4 kB on disk). Admittedly, it is single colour and I ticked off all metadata.
  7. There are also people whose output looks awful by some professional standards but whose clientele actually prefers that look and quality. There demand and supply meet nicely and professionals are out.
  8. I am not sure automation would produce good results in this kind of problem. I would prepare the template to accommodate reasonably long names/lines, and if there are lines that exceed prepared space I would correct those manually – to achieve good typography in those cases would require some creative design solutions any case.
  9. As you try to select an object onscreen you end up selecting the whole group. When objects are in layer-layer they can be selected simply by click or drag.
  10. Umm... as I fight one Designer project right now I notice grouping objects to a layer-group severely limits how I can choose objects within a group. So using a "layer-layer" makes them behave better but it has its own issues...
  11. Swatch generated noise has a problem that you cannot adjust the cell size in any way. So at 300 dpi it tends to be rather unnoticeable. I guess it is meant more for onscreen works (72 dpi). If your artwork allows you could most as vectors (text, shapes) to keep it sharp and use lower document dpi so noise would be more apparent. Alternative is to do custom noise with noise filters (I guess you can up the cell size?).
  12. Different PDF tools handle this differently. I have apps that create OK paragraphs, with simple copy paste. Now, hyphenation is worse problem... that must be corrected with search-replace one by one (replace all would remove also rightly used hyphens).
  13. In Designer layers palette is more like list of objects. In Illustrator layers are organising tool. You can somewhat simulate Illustrator behaviour if you group sets of objects as a "master layers" and use those for organizing (turn on/off as needed... hmm is it possible to lock a parent layer?)
  14. Gotta say I do not much like the way eyedroppers and swatches palette function. I feel lost all the time.
  15. I print some art pieces prepared (mostly) in Affinity Photo with Epson 3880 (A2 size, Canson Edition Etching Rag 310 g/m²) with great results and outsource printing 70X100 cm size to bigger Epson SureColor SC-P9500 (with Hahnemuhle German Etching, 310gsm) with not so sure if great results (I think better definition in detail should be achievable..). I have to admit I do final adjustments in Photoshop.
  16. Problem is that Publisher can read IDML but IDML support was not introduced in InDesign until CS4. So you should open you INDD files with newer InDesign and export to IDML. Possibly you could install new CC trial and use that to open old files and export to IDML. You could use Peter Kahrel's Batch Convert script to do all files at one go.
  17. I think Voikko is not compatible with Affinity but read this thread, see if you can download right Hunspell dictionaries:
  18. I wish there was a way. I posted a request a while back: This routine would be a real timesaver in project that have large amount of images of equal quality (and those of differing quality can be corrected manually).
  19. Affinity apps do not require really powerful machines (IMHO). As long as you have 16 GB or more RAM everything should run fine.
