Legacy file refuses to open
carl123 replied to Zoli1989's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
@Zoli1989 The document opens fine in the V2 Beta so it looks like something they have fixed already You can download the Beta and use that to continue to work, or, if you still have V1 loaded, use that to work on the document -

How to sync setting?
carl123 replied to Peterman's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
If you are using V2 you can ... 1. Create a macro that contains all the Develop persona edits done to the first Raw file 2. Use File > New batch job (to process the other RAW files) and include the macro in that, set the output of the batch file to JPG files. -

In the right-click menu you also have "Edit mask" or do you mean something else? -

It works here What do you see when you right-click a mask in the Layers panel? (screenshot) -
What's up with my simple warp and Windows?
carl123 replied to gw_westdale's topic in Beta Software Program Members Area
I see the same as you, and it seems to be a known problem Convert the warp group to curves seems to be the best suggestion at the moment You can always undo that step after you print it -
GoPro hero 10 black Gpr raw files
carl123 replied to Xjdmjunkiex's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
File seems valid, so not sure why it does not open. Hopefully a member of support will be able to advise you further -
You (may) need to do two things 1. Select the text frame that contains the caption then in the Text Frame Studio (not the Text Wrap Dialog) tick the check box that says "Ignore Text Wraps" then move the text frame on top of the image. 2. If you can't see the text after you move it on top of the image do Layer > Arrange > Move to Front

Objects are not layering properly
carl123 replied to Matchbox Tortie's topic in Affinity on iPad Questions
Select the Vine (curve) that is crossing over the leaf and delete it -
There are multiple ways to do this now in V2 1. Replace a processed Raw file with another Raw file using the RAW edits done to the original file https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/171266-using-aphoto-v2-a-photographers-pov/&do=findComment&comment=989622 2. File > Place, multiple Raw files then process them all at once in the Develop Persona https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/171266-using-aphoto-v2-a-photographers-pov/&do=findComment&comment=990183 3. Batch Process Multiple Raw files (using File > New Batch Job) https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/173012-raw-files-something-big-is-coming/

Did recent update and program is now unusable

I think Hardware acceleration was reenabled in V2 Goto.... Edit > Preferences > Performance and untick it (if enabled) to eliminate it as a possible cause -

Probably best if you upload the Affinity Designer document to the forum -
Save JPEG at original quality
carl123 replied to bpedit's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
The quality loss argument when saving a JPG file with compression is severely overhyped and best left in the pro-photography world Overwriting a 100% JPG file once, twice or even three times is unlikely to display any noticeable difference to the average human I frequently download JPGs from the internet, work on them and export them with compression (85% quality) then later on I may have to tweak that exported JPG and export it again and I see no visible degradation in the image when doing this. Don't believe the hype for general JPG usage - unless you are a professional photographer and need/want to squeeze every ounce of quality from an image that you can Technically no. If you open the JPG and export at 85% quality that is what you get If you open and save the JPG it uses "100%" quality. Which in reality, due to the lossy nature of JPG files, is probably 99% or 98% So, if you now export that file at 85% (via the batch job) you're probably looking at an overall quality of 84-83% of the original JPG file But it's so small a drop versus just exporting the file (at 85%) it's hardly worth worrying about for the benefits of being able to batch process your files rather than doing an export for each one. -
Presets don't work (Rectangle tool)
carl123 replied to N A's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
I don't think they are. It's only the actual shape of the preset that is saved If the OP wants to routinely apply set strokes and fills to objects, they should be creating and using styles in the Styles panel (The styles are in fact the presets the OP is looking for) E.g. No fill, Red Stroke 2px No fill, Blue Stroke, 2px Green fill, Orange Stroke, 5px The benefit of Styles is that they can be used on any shape not just rectangles -
Problem with selecting objects near texts

You are going to need to upload an example Designer document, so we can see what could be causing the issue -
Save JPEG at original quality
carl123 replied to bpedit's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
The answer is no but what you could do is process all the JPGs using the Save button, then, when done, run a batch job (File > New Batch Job) to reprocess those JPGs with the compression (quality) value you want, overwriting the original JPGs -

Expressions not dealt with correctly in batch processing
carl123 replied to jacphoto's topic in V2 Bugs found on Windows
The Equations filter highlights errors in red But even good equations were sometime labeled as bad (red)
