[Cannot export what I have on my canvas with Affinity Designer]

• what you see on the canvas is different to what you see in the export preview, and;
• what I see on the canvas is the same as what I see in the export preview.

For what it's worth I see the same as the OP

Perfect in Designer but the (export) preview does not match

[Text / vector text and perspective? Affinity Photo]

Hey Alfred,

I checked that page. But I already have the other two apps, so I don't need a 'universal license'. I think the Afdesign V2 is only $100 by itself. Which is terrific actually. I love owning an app. I hate subscriptions. But was just wondering if, somewhere obscure, there was a price for 'upgrading'. Ha. Actually, I think I'll just get it. I'm becoming a big fan of Affinity.

 

Bear in mind if you just upgrade Designer to V2, files saved in that format will not be openable in your other two V1 apps

[Cropping a Layer? Can it be done?]

1 hour ago, Affinity-Inspiration said:

Ok, I mean if I have an image on a layer, can I just crop that image? Because selecting the Crop tool (Photo) selects the whole document.

If the image is Linked (not embedded) you can select the image layer and Edit Image in the context toolbar. You can then Crop just that image

Bear in mind that this is destructive and will crop the original image (JPG) so masking is usually best, unless you don't mind cropping the original

I don't know what the problem is over here but for some reason it doesn't show up on my context toolbar when I have the color picker chosen

Make sure you are using the colour picker from the Tools Panel.

The colour picker in the Colour Panel does not give you any context toolbar options

21 minutes ago, PaulEC said:

I must agree that I can't see why the brush should be highlighted if it isn't selected!

Brushes can be dragged and repositioned within the Brushes Panel

The highlighting is to show the brush you are moving and its final position within the list of brushes

[Frightening bug with Affinity Publisher stalling on a document due to a corrupted lock file]

14 minutes ago, LEB said:

I consider that not being able to open a file in Affinity Publisher due to a corrupted lock file, with no easy way of understanding the problem, is a significant bug that could affect other users, preventing them from opening their files.

If the document crashes its associated lock file is supposed to time-out after a few minutes (5?) and thus not interfere with opening a file after that time

Also, if you configure your computer to show hidden files you will always see them (lock files) in the same folder that the associated document is in, and you can then delete them manually
