PNG file to vector
BigStef replied to Shelly's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Hi @Shelly I'm usually using this tool to vectorize picture : https://www.vectorizer.io/ Then I get My SVG on which I'm working on Publisher. Here's what your picture give in SVG with that tool : IMG_9699.png.b0f72ab8b43e46fa722366903a8ad993.svg -
Just to support thomaso 's topic, I would also like to add that I'm generating magazine from publisher to PDF. They have a lot of photos in (You can see an example here : https://issuu.com/paoproduction/docs/cnc-bilan-2020-issu ). What I did : Ask my printer for PDF version and colour profile (actually PDF 1.5 (Acrobat 6) - Coated FOGRA39 (ISO 12647-2:2004) ) Generate the PDF Check it with PACKZVIEW (with this app, you can check colour by layers CMYB and see if everythings fit with your need (example, Texts in Black only) Send the PDF to the printer I never had an issu using this way...

Text frame text style changes across a new linked text frame
BigStef replied to lukek's topic in V2 Bugs found on macOS
For your information : 1 years later, I still meet this problem on version 2.3.1 of Affinity Publisher - Mac OS. https://share.cleanshot.com/Qr6kkWmZ @Catshill tip works, but I'm not sure this is THE solution - It should simply not happens, don't you think so ? -
What about Apple Vision Pro
BigStef posted a topic in Feedback for the Affinity V2 Suite of Products
Hi Affinity teams and users... I began my job before computer (yes I know, that makes me a dinosaur ) At that time, I had an editing technique (photogravure and offset editing) that I really liked. I lost it with the arrival of computers in our profession to have this kind of epileptic gesticulation instead. Added today Apple announces the arrival of the Apple Vision Pro and I see there the possibility of finding a gesture more interesting than this shaking of the mouse. In short, all this to ask if you ever considered lending your software to this new working tool? I know it's probably a big chunk, but just to know if it would be possible, even in the distant future? Thanks in advance for considering this old dinausor paper who plan to work for a few more years, so... -
Problem with selecting objects near texts
BigStef replied to only7yb's topic in V2 Bugs found on Windows
Hi Guys ! This issue is still here and it is really not easy to work with that! Could please consider that bloc text can be selected ONLY when cliking on the bloc text and not on the line height of the text ? This would be really great ! -
What's this font on your ad?
BigStef replied to BigStef's topic in Customer Service, Accounts and Purchasing
Hi Alfred, thanks a lot for your fast feedback :-) You rock's! -
Hi guy's from Serif. Sorry to ask this here, but what is the font you use on this image (https://affinity.serif.com/fr/publisher/#top) Thanks by advance for the info

@Mariusz_F I agree with point 1 : Using tab to modify value in crop tool is weird. This issue is also in other apps of the suite, but sorry i had this issue this morning and can remember in which app for which window.

Merge documents : Numbers ?
BigStef posted a topic in Feedback for the Affinity V2 Suite of Products
What about merging documents with Numbers (Apple) files ? Is that not you that say "Ultimate compatibility. Want to work with other file formats?" in your ads ? -
Font replaced with font manager keeps being asked for
BigStef replied to Daniel Gibert's topic in V1 Bugs found on macOS
Thank you so much for this tip @Pedrober, i was so much looking for a solution! Actually I don't understand why it is not the Font Manager which handle this. Any idea ? -
Hi @Chris B, thank you very much. I will wait for your feedback with devs then.

Hi, I'm using the "Export" dialog from Photo a lot. FOr my Web jobs. But the "Export" dialog box has a strange behaviour that is very annoying... When I "Save" or "Save as" a picture, there's no issue : I can catch and move my dialog box, i can resize it and "Finder-click" from "Default folder" is working very well (cool, because this is a very helpful tool). But as soon as I'm using the "Export" dialog box, all of this feature are not working anymore. You can have a look at my sceencast, it is probably more specific https://www.dropbox.com/s/sfoav2kosxtuzpo/affinitphoto-dialog-box.mp4?dl=0

I find this question interesting for different purpose. In Publisher i.e. : When I re-instal affinity product on a new device, so I can export my sets or keep the file where they are store, I could have different set : when I work on a book, when I work on PDF file, etc... So, saving sets and restore them could be really time saver...

Merging Paths
BigStef replied to 21Pilots's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
I have already used the "alt" + Add to get around this issu (and not only on curves letters). It works for me so I can wait for the fix with patience :-) -
My fault, i was on FontLab 5 page ! :-) As I find this app a bit expensive, i have given a try to TranType demo (as you suggested in your update above). I could convert my Industria Font to TTF and use it then in Designer without any problem. I even test a PDF generation, and it works very well. So the solution I will keep is that one : As Type 1 font are becoming really obsolete, I will buy TransType just tested (under Catalina with success :-) so I can convert all my 30 years old fonts stock (one by one, as needed of course). But thank you very much to both of you...

Hi @Lagarto and @MEB, Just to tell you that i still follow this topic, even if I find that it becomes really very specific BTW, I wanted this morning purchase FontLab, but it is specified that it does not work under Catalina (Sacrebleu. !) As I think that the final solution would be to convert my old fonts, does anyone know another app to do that, working on Catalina ?

Hi @Lagarto, Hey ! Thanks for your time spent here Actually I have sometime that exactly same kind of issue. I then have to quit and restart my computer. Usually, I can then export my PDF. I think I can deduce that it comes from the font... (I thought first it was coming from Acrobat reader, or the Affinity PDF engin, or something like that...)
