AutoTrace (convert raster image to vector)
Fixx replied to eross21's topic in Feedback for Affinity Designer on Desktop
Rather ironically, you cannot use autotrace to make exact renderings of pixel images (computer cannot calculate exact output!!!). It can though do fairly good approximations. These can be used as stylistic effects, or with some material they can look pretty close to handmade. Autotrace is next to useless when you need exact paths, like in logos.- 367 replies

Copy-paste works fine, you have to copy attributes from a text frame by copying the whole object. It does not seem to work if you try to do it with text tool active. If there are several stylings in that text frame I guess the first attributes are copied, i.e. what first word has. Pasting can be done to to single words or any length of active text. Old skool way would just be to use text styles all the way.

Yes, all of them, open, place and drag&drop work. Either the file is damaged or there is problem with file permissions in Finder.

Is Affinity Designer even developed anymore?
Fixx replied to HypoSim's topic in Feedback for Affinity Designer on Desktop
We really aren't. That would though be a smart thing to do – I would do it like that. -
Technical Drawing with Affinity Designer
Fixx replied to Zebenelli's topic in Feedback for Affinity Designer on Desktop
Yes, we mostly do not want CAD features, we want technical illustration features. Some of those are overlapping, admittedly. -
SRGB to cmyk conversion
Fixx replied to MxHeppa's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (Mac and Windows)
jos musta on 140% niin soveltuva paperi on luokaa vessapaperi eli hyvin huokoista ja väriä imevää. Päällystetylle paperille on normaalisti tuolla 300+ prosenttia. -
Processing a day's shooting
Fixx replied to Chris Potter's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (Mac and Windows)
I would not do such amount with AP. Lightroom, Capture 1 etc are better and faster choices. -
Which iMac is best for Affinity Designer
Fixx replied to CaroleG's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (Mac and Windows)
Regardless, new intel-mac is not a good investment now. M1 models are so much more bang for the buck that there simply is no reason to pay same price for intel based mac. -
Which iMac is best for Affinity Designer
Fixx replied to CaroleG's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (Mac and Windows)
I makes no sense to buy a new intel based iMac now. Wait for M1-model, or if in a hurry or need to save cash, buy a used iMac. -
Double-page spreads
Fixx replied to Paul Martin's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (Mac and Windows)
Sure can do. Just be aware how content is printed and read. If many readers read it as PDF spread view is not probably in use and most don't bother to set it. -
It work, but earlier there was some confusion about how it works. Apparently earlier versions did not necessarily add 300 dpi tag to exported file. You probably know you can choose if image resamples or not when setting image size?

You have to set dpi to 300 before export. In AP: Document > Resize Document..., in AD: File > Document Setup.

Exporting
Fixx replied to Margaret Whitcombe's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (Mac and Windows)
I was also surprised when I placed a PDF with restrictions to Designer. Behaved normally but when I tried to copy or export stuff – no go. I think it would make sense if Designer would warn when opening that PDF has restrictions and thus is not really usable. -
possibly editable is the operative word? I do not know what it is.

I can recommend Zevrix as a company as I use their LinkOptimizer InDesign addon. Good functionality and quick support (thank you, Leo Revzin!). I would like to hear though opinions about Checkpoint as I have not used it and there are not many alternatives for Acrobat for prepress preflight. Zevrix has 50% sale one or two times a year and it is generally easy to find -20% coupon at any time. It is possible to create cover design with AP but AP cannot add cropmarks which may be a problem. Publisher is the right tool for it anyway, and it is not a very complicated thing. Spine and flaps

Clip to Canvas in Affinity Photo
Fixx replied to rusty5's topic in Feedback for Affinity Photo on Desktop
Clip/unclip is quite weird in AP. Basically it is some kind of trimming function. -
TIF file - Saving in AP - Compression?
Fixx replied to PMX's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (Mac and Windows)
Is it really an issue? TIFF LZW compression is generally very compatible with all applications.
