Pixel Tool does not fully erase.
brunhilda replied to jbikeler's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
I am not sure I understand. It happens when using an erase brush tool in a pixel persona and also when I use pixol tool. -

thanks for the tip, but: a) the default should not make wet edges, in my understanding b) I changed it to "off" and the result is the same -

Hi, I might have the same problem with a pixel erase brush tool in Designer. I can never erase a bitmap with one click only, even thought the wet edges or other brush settings are on default. updated macOS Sonoma (but the problem persists for a year or longer) -
I have this issue for years some files are a nightmare to work on. e. g. yesterday it crashed after 2-3 steps, without saving the progress. I tried to update, also changing saving preferences, and saving manually to iCloud and iPad… after reworkin the artwork for like 10th time I gave up and started from a scratch in a new document and then merged it with the old one. as you can see in the video, the artwork is super simple - just a few vector and pixel layers.

well, more importantly we have a problem with Publisher features. and it seems that "we" are a lot of people…

Thanks, Jim. I checked the software but it needs InDesign SW installed to make it work

so I ended up coding the book almost manually 🙈🙈🙈 using Calibre...

yop, thats what I understood from youtube tutorial which I wanted to follow initially. but then was discouraged by the result of first Calibre export...

My publishing house requires InDesign file to convert it into EPUB, which I did not notice in the contract... I just delivered PDFs for the printer and thought my job was done. So now I am figuring the way how to convert PDF to EPUB. And I hope PDF Element would work for that. So far everything looks the same as in Publisher PDF export, no distortions like when exporting in Calibre. Element:

haha, thanks! 🤓 thats what I did and the result was: – the font is not preserved – pages are not preserved – paragraph layout is damaged – illustrations are damaged (thats might be because I used CMYK profile with a spot color)
-
thanks for your tips! actually, I wrote this question after trying Calibre and ended up totally frustrated I want to preserve the font and manage pages in an easy way, which is too hard for me in Calibre. but..! I found https://pdf.iskysoft.com/ and sent the EPUB export to the publishing house. so fingers crossed! if it works, I would need to pay a yearly fee under 100 bugs, which is still ok.

I did a horrible mistake and I used Publisher for a book design without researching first. Now the publishing house wants EPUB export and I am literally f***ed, because I cannot export to EPUB nor IDML... Is there any feasible workaround to create eBOOK files? So far I did not find anyting that would make it easier then designing the whole book from a scratch again in InDesign :////

Hi, I am preparing a book to be printed and I cannot figure out one issue for days already! 🥵 The text is in 100% Black, but every time I export the file into PDF, it turns into a mix of CMYK. I tried various color profile setups, every export possible and nothing changes... Also when I place an image as Designer/PDF/EPS file (yes, I tried all of them!), it is 100% Black + one spot color, but it turns into a mix of CMYK after saving. I am desperate... the data for the printer needs to be 1 color + 1 spot color and I do not know how to achieve that. The only qick fix is to convert colors in Adobat Acrobat. But I am afraid that could mess the illustrations. Thanks for your prompt help, the deadline is soon...

Thanks for taking care, Mike Mine is English as well. And no special set-up, neither utilities. -

shift command does not work with new OS update
brunhilda replied to brunhilda's topic in V1 Bugs found on macOS
Yep, does not work Can I add a shortcut for the multiple selection? -
OMG, so slow after the update! I cannot see the vector brush stroke when drawing. It appears after few seconds and is really wobbly. [Turning off the metal computing helped, but definitely not 100%...] Please, help OS

Hi, shift does not work to select multiple or to preserve a shape ratio. (it works with the keyboard, it does not work with Wacom) Any advice, please? Thanks.

how to do dynamic text?
brunhilda posted a topic in Tutorials (Staff and Customer Created Tutorials)
Hi, how would you do a dynamic text - without manually resizing every letter? and with correct space dynamics? My example (attached) was done manually and doesnt look very realistic :( I tried: a) create a text shape, fill in the text ABCDE but the text in trapezoid shape cannot be rotated in the direction I want b) write an artistic text ABCDE resize every letter, shift the baseline of every letter Thanks! -
Hi, I was trying to learn duplicate power from Affinity tutorial (https://affinity.serif.com/en-gb/tutorials/designer/), but I got stuck: The command J is working when duplicating stars next to each other, but not when rotating the stars to create a spiral. What could be wrong, please? Thanks a lot, a.
