I use InDesign and QuarkXPress heavily in my everyday tasks and I am very familiar to their functionality (especially for printing). My opinion is that InDesign has the ultimate solution about character styles, but their paragraph styles need little additional work to be OK. I mean in additional options to be included and some rearrangements of the existing ones. Opposite to InDesign, QuarkXPress has a little bit different approach. Their paragraph styles are not as rich as InDesign's one and you don't have all the options you need in one place. You have to dig in different menus to find what you want to include in them. So, it is a little bit difficult to define a complex paragraph styles inside QXP. Also, defining character attributes in paragraph styles is a bit different than in InDesign. You can't define character attributes inside paragraph styles but you need to link previously created character style to an existing paragraph style.

I just don't see the purpose why character style must contain paragraph attributes. It is applied to selected text not to the whole paragraph.

OK, if so, but in that case "Text style" must be without Paragraph style options and vice versa.

Hi, clicking on "Create Paragraph Style" and "Create Text Style" open the exactly same windows. They even crash on same place as I described in this topic: [1.5.0.14] Crash: Text Styles: double click "no style"

More logical is selected ref point to be white.

"Refference point" tool (InDesign term) could be used for flipping and rotating (with rotation handle) objects beside possitioning and resizing them. Maybe a bug? -- Never mind what ref point is selected, the upper left is always white.

"Refference point" tool (InDesign term) can be used for flipping and rotating objects according selected refference point, beside possitioning and resizing the objects. A "bug"? -- When some refference point is selected it changes the size but the upper left point remains white.

I have simmilar problem: 1. created new "Text Frame"; 2. some text entered; 3. went to "Text > Text Styles > Create paragraph Style > Character", 4. clicked on a "Font traits" and it crashed. See attachment:

Well, in Japan, I think, they use "q" as a unit which is equal to 1/4 of a "mm". Beside this, I would preffer "t" that is equal to 1/10 of a "mm". A suggestion: When "Show text in points" is deselected in "Preferences", the values in "Text height" are shown in millimeters converted from points (in my case). It would be nice to have values like these: hairline, 0,1mm, 0,2mm, 0,5mm, 1mm... In this case, "q" and "t" units would be obsolete.

Hi, I also use Xara but it has one big problem -- lack of proper CMYK support.

This is a question for Adobe, not Affinity.

Is this included in Help files?

I was trying to finish this thread in which a lot of post are almoust repeating. Obviously, some of the users are lazy to read the thread from the start. :D

I don't think it is so easy or obvious. That is were the Affinity team comes into play. :)

Thank you, mac_heibu :wub:

Please, reread this thread again if you have to. Don't just post to increase your number of posts. :)

I can't also. But maybe "The new kids in the block" can do it? ;)

Just guessing I may say. Nothing exactly.

Everything you said is OK. But, explain to me how the scanner found those RGB values in grayscale image?

That image has RGB color space because it has been scaned as RGB image. I don't know how the scanner added that RGB values.

I know what I am talking because I have tried. Would you please try this image?

Hi R C-R, Have you read my post #12 in this topic? And more important, have you tried it?

Thank you MattP. Everything is OK. But, when I zoom at "Actual size" the values on the rulers are shown in progression by 20 (0, 20, 40...) instead by 10. So, it confused me. :huh:

Hi, because of the different resolutions of monitors it is a time consuming task to adjust the screen preview to show the units exact 1:1 (display / nature). So, it would be very nice if you add another zoom option that will adjust the preview to the value entered somewhere into "Preferences" like it is shown in the attachment (this is from QuarkXPress).

It is up to Affinity team to see if it is possible and to react accordingly if they find this interesting.
