  1. Affinity software does not really export to any reflowable format. You should use some epub-capable software for this. Usually page breaks are done by splitting the file in epub software.
  2. Optical kerning is an advanced feature which a modern design app should have. That said, in reality good quality fonts have good kerning tables which produce good typesetting, and headlines/large size may need manual touch anyway.
  3. I think there is no software architecture in AP to support export plugins (yet).
  4. You can use a third party autotracing app, there are a bunch of them available, free, low cost and one premium.
  5. Isn't the issue simply that CMYK cannot present such bright green colours as it has insufficient gamut in certain colours.
  6. No, Mac opens both styles just fine. Maybe it is the windows feature where you can choose filetype in open dialog? Is there something fishy there?
  7. Rather it copies pixels exactly, without trying to fit them to target area texture. Also if there is soft edge in the brush, it softens the texture at the paint border, and if there is a hard edge, it shows as a sharp border. Therefore it would be nice to have an inpainting tool where you can select source area. Or, a better algorithm for regular automatic inpainting.
  8. Can you apply export with only selected objects export option here? Resulted SVG is cropped like you ask.
  9. Just to make sure: do you have this selected? (Show view options CMD-J, I suppose it is still available in Big Sur)
  10. Seems like that raw format is so new (camera model released but now) there is not yet support for it in OS. Is it possible? There should then be no support for it AP either... I guess.
  11. If you want to save over old TIFF you have to flatten the layers. If you have layers in document you can save as affinityphoto file, or export to TIFF (layers merged in process), and the there is this: it is possible to export with Affinity layers. Seems you can also save over old TIFF if you include layers. Now your question: Affinity saved TIFF with layers contain Affinity proprietary information (layers). There should be also a composite image included which is readable by other software. Layers are readible only by Affinity, there is no other use for them but you can open and continue editing layered TIFF later. I do not think that is a very good workflow.
  12. As R C-R said above, quicklook and image preview tapping spacebar should work in any mac. Is the problem only with .nef files or with any files? Previewing raw files with quicklook is not necessarily fast enough, the may be some delay when OS renders the preview. People use sometimes special software for culling raw photos, like Photo Mechanic, ApolloOne or mentioned FastRawViewer. There are also more sophisticated automated culling apps like FilterPixel, Optyx and Narrative Select (these have free basic versions available).
  13. There is already a coloured item on page so it should handle the problem. I guess objects stack in creation order so if you add page number last it will be in front. It can be dropped to the bottom (behind a graphic or white rectangle) using layer palette.
  14. Would be nice if "rule" would be available as Pen tool variant in Toolbox. As user preference it could sticky.
  15. If you want to copy text from a PDF you might want to know different PDF readers treat text differently. Some keep paragraphs and some cut lines to paragraphs. For example PDF Expert keeps paragraphs.
  16. Probably simplest setup is that some users print to A4 and some users read onscreen with fit width zoom setting (or similar). That suggests that you better use A4 format and place content such way that it is easily readable as half page portions. Some PDF players tend to display spreads by default but it is not readable that way.
  17. I use DWG Tools for mac app. It offers all kinds of in-app purchases but basic version can export PDF simply enough.
  18. This should take you to Affinity app where you can choose New Document (CMD+N) or open old ones (CMD+O). Does it not work that way?
  19. That is high end scanner. Mainstream scanners scan 600 dpi, 1200 at most
  20. I checked if fullsize keyboard would have minus sign but no, it is the same hyphen. Pity. Mac users do not have any shortcut for it either it seems. Could not even set is as autocorrect set. Glyph panel or system Emoji & Symbols it is then.
  21. I guess that with some tuning Dropbox can be used to keep work environments in sync.
