When I open your PDF in Adobe Acrobat Pro looking into the print output preview it seems correct to me. In the last screenshot I measured on the Black/Cyan Outline.

Still the same in 2.5.2 – can’t say if font files are responsible for that, sorry. Just remember that this was also a bug in some version 1.

I upgraded from the last 2.4.x version, with auto update (opening Designer which was installed from App Store). I mean the add-ons Affinity offers throught the Affinity store (app account dialog). Everything was gone but reinstalled now and present in all 3 desktop apps. On iPad btw. all loaded or not loaded add-ons are as usual. Thanks!

This is a bug we had in an older version (do not know which one): When using the the last used font button, the app crashes.

With upgrading to 2.5 I have to reinstall all add-ons. Is that correct? Why is it (it’s a bit time consuming)? Where are the former downloaded add-on data? Do they clutter my drive? Or are they simply deleted on upgrade?

My fist reaction to this announcement – which I got a few minutes ago – is » The end of a brilliant era. I think the main reason for this opinion is that Canva is such a popular tool for marketers and individuals. To me, this means that it's not aimed at professional designers, graphic artists and artists, but at people who want to be creative by accessing ready-made templates. - I have often feared that this day would come, because I could not imagine that Serif could achieve at this price level what many professionals (often excessively, imho) demand in order to replace the forced subscriptions of the top dogs. Somehow this development seems unavoidable - and there is still the faint hope that this time things will be different than usual - because Serif is Serif. And because the people at Canva perhaps don't have the greed that is generally assumed. So I’m looking forward to the lots of cool updates that will come for the 2.x versions, wish all the best for the serif team members and stay tuned!

Ich verwende dafür Master Match. Es ist gerade als Bundle im Abo erhältlich. Ich habe zur Software einen kurzen Post auf meiner Website. Siehe unten. I use Master Match for that. It’s currently available as subscription in a Black Friday deal. I have a short post to the software on my site. In german language. https://www.abelbeck.de/farbreferenzen-nutzen-in-affinity-photo/

Really? I have to try that – maybe I didn’t realize a small difference. I will report …

Yeah, I thought of that too – didn’t try it yet. But seemes a good workaround. Thank for all your suggestions 🙂

🙂 I just wanted to have some formatted snippets at hand. Think of a formatted image capture with 3 styles: An arrow (from a font), a title and some different styled information. It would be comfortable to just drag this in from a library instead of searching in the document to copy a fitting one. But the styles are copied then. Affinity doesn’t see that they are identical (not only names but also every style detail) and copies it in. Now I have these styles redundant in my document. So – this is no option. It’s just obviously not the idea of the asset library. I think what I had in mind was more a sort of clipboard with multiple objects instead of only one at a time.

Yes, I think this works. It would be simplier when on deleting a style there would be an option to replace with any other existing style. Thank you all for your answers and suggestions 🙂

I work on a brochure. I thought it was a good idea to have some formatted text elements as assets. But when I put them in the layout, the included text style is imported and copied so that I get more and more redundant styles. It would be great to map this style copies to the original when deleting them. Or merging all copies with the original. How could I handle this?

depending on what you want to do you can directly add an outline color and width to the editable text or convert it into paths and edit the charcters there. You can use the Designer Persona for special tools.

Haha! Never guessed that!

It would be very handsome to have an option to shut the preview off. It’s time consuming and often somewhat annoying. In many cases I don’t need a preview. And its also much too big IMO.
