Why 300>225 dpi conversion? Surely you do not mean downsampling...
Images stay RGB all the way, Epson will convert to whatever colorscheme it uses.
I've already answered the question. And, "d" in "dpi" doesn't stands for "downsampling". The resolution of the photo is the width and hight of the photo and dpi means just how much pixels you are going to squize in one inch (it will still have the same width and hight). Downsampling means that you are going to change the picture from, let's say, 5000x3000 px to 500x300 px.

So my suggestion is, that it would be AMAZING to have/buy an extension for Affinity Designer to be able to edit and export fonts! I do know that it is not "just" programming an extension/add-on of that sort to Affinity, but I can't imagine it being too difficult either. I mean you have all the tools that are needed for the job and the extra "specific" tools for font editing could perhaps fit under a new persona in the upper left? A font persona. That would make Affinity even more of a killer software!
Designer, and other Affinity apps, will become a killer software when they start to draw automatically what is in our mind. We will have to wait until version 2.0! :rolleyes:

Excellent question. I started seeing spinning umbrellas when file sizes exceeded 10 GB. (I know, that is a lot, but I am doing exhibition pieces at the moment.) I lowered undo states number a lot, but what other parameters might profit of tweaking?
I think AP adjusts parameters according system specs as memory usage settings seem to be inline with physical RAM memory (16 GB). Also, I run out of disk space (I have smallish SSD). Might be better if AP could use also other available disks for cache.
MBP i5/16GB/256SSD.
This is not the answer of your questions, but if you use 300 dpi, then lower it to 225. You will absolutelly not lose in quality, but you will get extra disk/RAM space. Also, save (and work with) your photos in RGB mode, until you are ready to (eventually) print on paper when you have to convert them to CMYK.

Now you ask for text flow, tommorow pages instead of artboards... and as fast as you can blink -- you have Publisher earlier than it is planed. :D
Few bitmap tricks more and you get a Photo included in Designer, too. :rolleyes:

Thank you, Patrick.

You are late.
What is next: 1.5.0.18 or 1.6 that we can buy? :)

Some apps like MS Office, in your case DrawPlus, and others have this problem:
1. you wrote cyrilic text in Times New Roman;
2. change the font which doesn't supports cyrilic;
3. the text is still cyrilic with Times New Roman;
4. only the name of the font is changed in the font menu.
I suppose that Affinity apps will not have this problem.

I'm still not quite understanding. Here's a screenshot (In DP X8 as I'm currently working in it). Each line is in its own text frame.
Edit: Ok, I'm getting the rectangles - but only with the Chinese characters. Everything else, so far is aok.
I can't see the name of the font you are using, but it obviously, supports cyrilics alphabet. Otherwise, you will not see any cyrilic character on the artboard.
-
It works the same way Windows Character Map does. Yes, you can Copy/Paste any character, but if it is not inside the font you work with, you will get a rectangle -- with or w/o diagonals.

Thank you PedroOfOz,
but BabelMap is not a font. It is an app like Windows Character Map.

Thank you, Ben. It was mine to ask. :)

Hi Petar
The attached screenshot has an analogous chord made from the the selected red shape. If you look in the swatches tab it should be the first few colours that are in whatever swatches palette was last shown. In the case of the screenshot (and by default) this is the Greys palette. I would recommend creating a document palette first though to place the colour chord in
Hope that helps
I finally solved how it works, but your's way is not very intuitive because the other colors of the chord can't be seen until the documents palette is not opened. Just see the attachement of the previous post in this thread (#5).

But where? I can't see it.

This is easy:
Don´t you think we want this vector-based and not rasterized? :D
And why Photoshop??
Cheers
P.
Me also. I just mentioned that there is a tool in an app (in this case Photoshop) with these kind of capabilities. I don't know why they don't put it in InDesign and Illustrator because the text is still vector and still editable after applying the tool. :P
-
But, when I drag the slider(s) the color of the icon is changing but not the color of the selected object.
Maybe it would be better to make it work like in CorelDRAW. Left click on a swatch fills the object, right click colors the stroke. :rolleyes:

I think the donut needs an extra red control point just to control the inner ellipse to move it out of center. Something like as in the attachment.
-
We don't even need separate tools for donuts and pies, since the Ellipse Tool gives us 'Convert to Donut' and 'Convert to Pie' buttons on the Context toolbar.
And when you start eating it, it is automatically "convert to curves". :D
It would be nice to put rectangle and elipse tools together with triangle and the others, and remove the rounded rectangle from the tool's palette. It could be drawn by using the red control points on the rectangle tool.

Hi thiagoff8,
I think you have a typo in your project. It should be "whey" instead of "wey".
-
To keep it safe so nobody can steal it? :D
-
With Photoshop's option "Create warped text" you can do even arched text as well.

Font Persona

:) English is not my native language, either. What I meant was that they can't be a "swiss knife" like vector / bitmap / video / DAM / player / programing language / font editor and manager... in just one program.
But... my wish is, and they are absolutelly against, that all three design apps (Designer, Photo and Publisher) to be only one app. Please, don't start any discusion on this theme. It is just my wish based on my experience. :rolleyes:
