Hello,
First things first - I am a newbie to the Affinity software or any kind of photo editing/design software so I will explain as clearly as I can. I am using a MacBook air 2015 model.
I am using affinity photo to make some greeting cards.
I scanned my watercolour artwork into a new affinity project and made corrections using adjustments to get the art looking good.
Then I saved the file into finder and then opened up a fresh affinity photo file.
I set the page dimensions up correctly and then used the guide line manager to split the A4 document into 4 equal quadrants in portrait.
I then imported my edited artwork as an affinity project file on the top right quadrant and then added text for the back of the card on the top left quadrant. I then grouped these layers and duplicated so I could move to the bottom two quadrants. This means that when I print the file, I save paper having 2 A6 cards from one document.
However, even though the group was duplicated and simply shifted to the bottom quadrants, it appears lighter than the top two quadrants on the document? When I shift the group of layers on the bottom of the document to the top, it appears as identical to the top.
This effect is carried onto the printing stage and artwork at the bottom is mildly lighter.
Is this a bug or am I being completely stupid?
Sorry for the extended post, trying to be as clear as possible. Happy to send screenshots or anything if it helps.
P.S - If there are any decent affinity photo courses out there you recommend trying then let me know! Thank you in advance!
