Hello PUBLISHER allows to place objects outside the document on the workspace. When I do the same within PHOTO or DESIGNER, the object on the work space is invisible. Wouldn´t there a better workflow be possible if all three programs would behave in the same way?

Hello Walt Thanks for your advice!

Hello The ORF OM-1 Olympus RAW files can not be opened with Affinity Photo (1.10.5). Other Software like Dxo Photolab 5, Luminar 4 etc. opens them without problems.

Hello In AFFINITY PHOTO the function "Fill Mode" (alternating <> winding) is missing. Nevertheless it is descriped in the "Help". See screenshot. In AFFINITY PUBLISHER the "Fill Mode" is available! Sincerely Jürgen Fill Mode missing.tiff

Hello When I change a shape, for example a speech bubble, into a textform, it´s losing fill and stroke. When I create a speech bubble in PUBLISHER, it´s keeping fill and stroke after this change. Copying this element into the clipboard and inserting it into AFFINITY PHOTO it remains there fully editable. Wouldn´t it make sense to have the same behaviour of shapes in PHOTO, DESIGNER and PUBLISHER? Sincerely Jürgen

Thanks for your advice, Old Bruce. Meanwhile I found another solution. The "old" DNGs are in "Camera Raw 5.4". When I transfer them into "Camera Raw 7.1" I can open them with Affinity Photo 1.8, too. Thanks again Jürgen

Hello Some years ago I transfered my .NEF-Files into DNG in order to safe disk space. Now I tried to develop the DNGs with Affinity Photo. But instead of colours they only show a pink tint. Opening the same DNG-files with other software is working perfectly. Is there a bug in Affinity Photo? Thanks for your support Juergen Affinity DNG.tiff Photoshop DNG.tiff _DSF5889.dng

Thanks for your tips. I admit: I belong to another era. Creativity on PCs died with ATARI. Real creativity is where scissors, glue and brushes are.

Hello To be frank - I don´t like video tutorials. They waste my precious life time. And they are a waste of (electric) energy. Why? Because they don´t offer immediately what I´m looking for. Watching a video tutorial im forced to watch guys on the screen that are talking, talking, talking … but not about the items im interested in an which I need to get along with my work. There should be at least a downloadable PDF with a detailed table of contents. In order to use software I need instructions and I need this information in direct access - and without electricity consuming internet connection. Regards Jürgen

Hello Chris_K Sorry for the trouble I caused. Issue #2 is solved. Users best friend? RESTART. Issue #1 For my workflow it is crucial to import Word text directly. What do you mean by "at this point" ? Regards Juergen

Hello #1 It´s not possible to import / place WORD text #2 "Open recent …" does not work #3 Vector Persona and Photo Persona can not be started, even the latest versions are installed.

Hello After working with Affinity Designer for many months now I give up. Compared to Illustrator there are so many restrictions and "does-not-work"s that I can´t bear this software any longer. I also bought and worked the book. Perhaps it will take 5 or 10 years more to make Affinity Designer to a creative tool. I don´t like the thought to subscribe CC - but there is no other way for me. Good bye and good luck! :unsure:

Thank you very much! It´s really helpful :P

Hello I got the the Workbook for Affinity Designer. Now I tried to download the ressource files. But I get only error messages. What´s wrong there? Regards Juergen
