On Windows you can have multiple vertical columns of panels on the right-hand side which are docked not floating So, you can either add a new column just for your symbols (if you have the screen space) or move/drag the entire Left studio and dock it next to the existing Right studio, which would maintain your existing design area. That should reduce "cursor travel" when accessing different studio panels

If you have Publisher, you could also overlay a Table and set up the cell size and cell border colour to make the grid

Also attach the exported jpg file to the forum

From the help file... Hover over a row or column header and click on the arrow icon to display the following options: Insert Row / Insert Column—inserts a new row above the selected row, or a new column to the left of the selected column.

For a Resample crop, create a preset for your 1200 x 800 pixel crop Select that preset and crop an image That preset will then be the default for new images during that session and if you shut down and restart APhoto It will only stop being the default if you choose a different preset or different crop mode (e.g. Unconstrained)

Affinity process RAW files differently to a lot of other software and the issue of ORF Raw files being too dark or flat has been raised before @Dan C explains it better in the thread below But for now, you might be better sticking to your existing workflow (PhotoLab) until Affinity has a chance to look at this again

The Appearance Panel shows two strokes, delete the active (black) one and the document exports correctly

I assumed that's what it translated to in their Language That dialogue is not in English

Select the container Layer you want to work with, then do Layer > Hide Others Do your "Select Same" commands, then when done do Layer > Show Others to restore all the previously hidden layers

It seems to stay on here What other tool are you switching to and what Affinity app and OS are you using

Can you upload that ORF file to the forum and also state your camera make/model? The information on screen is too small for my eyes

That screenshot is from APhoto in menu option... Window > States But I'm also not sure what the OP is asking

Sometimes if you have a second screen connected (or have used one in the past) the print dialogue screen could be showing on that screen Also, check the (closed) laptop screen if you are using one

In your first screenshot you have 11 of them showing Denoted by the blue icon to the left of the Layer which looks like 5 horizontal lines This one...

If I hide the Layer layers I don't want to change I can use... Select > Select Same > Stroke Weight > Equal and only the layers on that (still visible) Layer are selected By "Layer" I mean the special container Layer rather than layers in general

In Affinity Photo goto... Edit > Settings > Performance You will find a hardware acceleration setting there (switch it off if it is on) This is also the screenshot @callum wanted

That's already possible in V2 Are you using V1?

1. Cropping can be simulated by using a Rectangle "clipped" to the image or by using a Picture Frame (Picture Frame Tool) 2. Some colour adjustment can be done using an Adjustment layer on the image E.g. Black & White Brightness / Contrast Colour Balance Curves Exposure Recolour Selective Colour Shadows / Highlights Vibrance White Balance ....and others Suggest you download the trial version of Publisher to see if it has enough image editing within it for your needs or if you will need to purchase Affinity Photo also

No, in APhoto you have the normal APhoto crop tool but it's not greyed out You can't crop the artboard document but the straighten and rotate functions of the Crop Tool still work

I think he meant an Affinity document, not screenshots. (e.g. a .afdesign or .afphoto file) We would need that to see if we see what you are seeing and to then see if we can figure out why I can't initially recreate the "problem" but it may be Windows v Mac issue But we still need that document

Can you upload a document with artboards where the Crop Tool is greyed out?

Archive bit also not setting here in 2.2 beta or 2.2.1 beta on Windows 11. Exe versions. Also tested one of my overnight backup routines and files are not backed up 2.1 release works correctly. (Fortunately, I had not got around to updating that version as yet and still use it for important stuff) This is one of those problems that companies may not notice for a while but when they do... someone in the IT department is getting fired

Works fine here on Windows 11 also

You possibly had "Hide Studio" active Clicking on the a symbol activates the "Character Panel", which would automatically unhide the studio

If you turn off synching then make a change to a symbol certain attributes can become unlinked (e.g. Opacity, Fill Colour, Stroke, Transformations etc) Once that particular attribute is unlinked you can't re-sync it but other attributes will re-sync when you turn synching back on in the Symbols panel The layers panel will indicate a layer has some sort of unlinked attribute by displaying a dashed, vertical orange line next to it rather than the standard solid one used for symbols The attributes that are unlinked can be seen by hovering near these dash lines in the Layers panel This is all further complicated by the fact that objects within the symbol can have unlinked/linked attributes and the symbol itself can have unlinked/linked attributes working separately and together. Also, when you unlink an attribute at the symbol level you can get unexpected other attributes unlinked also, which do not get unlinked if you unlinked the same attribute at the object level It all gets a bit very confusing at times
