KipV: You are right. Maybe Publisher for iPad will be released soon and the issue with Apple is getting to be fixed.

Hi. When I import or paste a text in spanish and the 2 characters that are contiguous are fi, the 2 letters dissapeared. For example, the words afinado, afiliación or afirmativo are transformed in anado, aliación and armativo. All values and preferences by default. Mac OS 10.11.6 El Capitan. The SO is in Spanish.

Israel: En cada SO se paga por separado, entre otras cosas porque cada tienda tiene políticas, protocolos y sistemas diferentes. Por lo que ofrece me parece hasta barato. De hecho, imagina cualquiera de las aplicaciones por 50 € y que sirviera para Mac OS, Windows, Linux, iPad y iPhone ¿No te parece que el esfuerzo y dinero en recursos sería demasiado? A mí, sí. ¡Suerte y a disfrutar de las fantásticas aplicaciones de Affinity!

Hello! I think metadata nowadays is very important. So, for me it could be useful have a panel for metadadata to include keywords in a file. This way you can have photos, images, logos, illustrations, layouts and so on with its metadata included. It looks that only Affinity Photo has this tool. I hope that in the 1.11 versions of Designer, Photo and Publisher would be able to have some kind of standard panel to include metadata in the documents that this applications create and you can include the metadata in the other exported formats too. Thanks for reading. 🙂

Oh! It could be fantastic that Affinity Designer works in Silhouette applications. I hope the 2 teams reach good agreements!!! :-)

Hi! First things, first: Your applications are wonderful and awesome. They are a must for me and lots of people. Getting better and better every day, so keep the good way, team! 🙂 I would like you to create a new tool that will be able to make a shape or figure that requires a little time to get done by hand (manually). I do not know what to be its name. Maybe umbrella. I make and use it every now and then to use it as a sunset or sunrise or whatever. Maybe the tool will have some parameters (you know: the interactive little red points to change them): Number of sectors or parts, some of them larger than the others alternativelly, the external part of the sector if it is concave, hollow or convex and so on... I think that with the image attached is good to understand the meaning of the new “umbrella tool”. I know that Designer has similar tools, but the key of the “umbrella tool” is that have “divided sectors”. Thank you - - - - - - - - - - - In Spanish: Petición o sugerencia de una nueva herramienta llamada paguas o sombrilla que sirve para muchos propósitos como simular un amanacer, atardecer, sombrilla, paraguas u objetos parecidos. Lo interesante aquí es que no sería como otras herramientas parecidas ya que habría sectores (partes del objeto total) separados. Además se podría hacer que hubiese manejadores interactivas como en este tipo de herramientas que permitiesen que el perímetro exterior del objeto pudiera tener segmentos, cócavos, convexos o desiguales, etc. Gracias por vuestro tiempo y dedicación.

Carl123. That is exactly the point.

Hi! In Affinity Designer to apply effects to text and objets is made via Layer - Layer effects. In Affinity Photo there is no the same way. Layer effects des not exist. Go to Studio - Effects. I know that it seems something obvious, but for people that use a lot Affinity Designer could get lost finding a way to do the same effects to a text or/and a object in both applications. I do not know how this effects are applied in Affinity Publisher but I hope that I buy soon the third application of the suite

Many many thanks, Matt. Details, tips & tricks. El ritual de lo habitual. Sometimes there are routines so obvious that we do not are able to see. Maybe some applications are so complex to use that our brains have a very big damage. And we know what applications are we talking about, do we?

OK, I would like to transform several text boxes at once (grouped or not). And why I can not apply a effect (a drop shadow) for example to several text boxes at once? The solution is use artistic text instead of text boxes?

Hi, Matt! Sorry, but I do not understand what point transform tool is. But if I select several boxes of text and I want to increase the size and shape proportionally, I have to rasterize before transforming them. I mean, I can drag a group or several ungrouped vector objects, but I do not know how to scale several blocks or text boxes at once. Only I am able to do that if I vectorize the texts before. In the example image the second one art board is the result of dragging text. No transform, no increased size, the text boxes are displaced. The example 2 is the result of vectorize the text (Could I vectorize text that is grouped? I have to ungroup first) and drag the text converts to vector. As always, thanks to you for all stuff and all staff you bring to us, the mavericks designers all around the globe!!!

OK. Wonderful. A real pleasure check again and again that everytime we, the users, have a question is breathtaking how you answer so kind and fast. In plain spanish: Es increíble el feedback en Serif. Te responden en cuestión de horas. En pocos sitios sucede.

Hi, team! I try to make a PNG dithered with transparency background. Is not available to see in a window 2 or more previsualization of an image with different export options in real time? Thanks for your amazing apps

Hiya! I like very much the new icons. And after a liile time I discover that the Affinity Designer's icon has a pencil inside. Clever. And the obvious obturator of a camera of the Photo's icon is what everybody sees. And as someone says in this thread for me are a fresh air in the land of the circles. I like Iconfactory design and the icons that the make for great applications like Coda, Transmit and so on. But this icons are a in a very different game. Not skeumorphic or realistic. The icons are an abstraction, a symbol, a sign. They must be a clue of what are they represent. As a sleeve of a book. Or maybe you can create something very crazy like a rock with tubes and pipes or spikes, or a planet, or an "fantastique" animal. But one thing always must to be acomplished. The icons have to have personality. For me the current icons are full of it. If they were a sign or a lighthouse near the shore we could be sure that we will se them even we wolud be far away from them. Think that the dock are a beach full of people, seats, beachballs, surf tables, sand castles and so on. Well, in a dock full of icons I can see it perfectly amonf dozens of icons. Well played, Affinity team. Were you the creator of the icons, Neil Ladkin? Mmmmmm haw haw haw!!!

¡Ánimo Rafael! Enhorabuena por tus tutoriales. Son muy claros y didácticos. Sigue así. Merece la pena Congrats for your tutorials, Rafael! Very clear and so good to learn. Keep on the good work!!!

Hi! What about this? The famous “resize image panel” to get simple and effective “á la Photoshop”. I think more info about the change will be OK. Info about the original and the calculated result for the new file that will be saved.

I think is a question of time to have some shortcuts to manage images or have a contextual menu to do this. And a unique window to see frame size and proportion, size and position of the content. We will see a lot of things to get better

I hope that the people at affinity will act as always: No copy XPress or InDesign. They will share with us in this forum the best an practical way to do the day by day routines in a publishing application. No doubts about that!!! I do not like some ways to do the publishing stuff in InDesigner.

Hi! Congrats for the good work. Ata last the function to resize or change the resolution of a image works. This is the topic: It would be fantastic that the dialog window could show the size (MB, GB o whatever) of the file before and after the change just before we press the OK button. Thanks, and keep on the excellent work!!!

Several times this topic has been posted, but we have no answer yet. Is a basic thing. Now is confusing for lack of information in the dialog window.

Hi! Thanks for your endless efforts, but I am missing something or it is not possible to replace a color for another? 1.You can edit, change the name, delete a color and other things, but is NOT possible to replace it for another color. By the way, when you select a color in the palette (in this case Global color Cyan at 100%) and choose Create color chord -> Tints, Shades or Tones, never is created 9 colors in increments of 10%: 10, 20, 30% or so on... 2. When I select a object with Cyan 100% and edit it from the color palette as a tint and I choose 40% if I choose from the contextual menu Add to Swatches from fill, when I change the global color, the tinted color created not change. So, how I can create a tint of a global color and edit when I wanted the global color and the changes are applied to its shadings? 3. And about the name of a color: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/22569-image-updating-and-color-naming/?p=106345

Ok. In FreeHand is not necessary to select the letter of the Text Tool. Thanks :)

Hello I have several text boxes one behind another in a document. In FreeHand I can select a text box that is behind of another and at that moment the element is active so I can edit the text and make changes. It is not possible in Affinity Designer? I can do Option + Clic and select the element behind, but I can not edit the text. When I tried, the box text goes is deselected and the most front box goes active. Selecting the text box via Layers panel comes to similar results. Thanks.

I totally agree. There are not enough info en the resize dialog window. Please, aadd more info to see the old and the new resolution and size of the document.

Wonderful book. Purchased, but... Habrá una versión en español?
