Are you saying that does not work?
If I understand you correctly, then I don't think it does, and I wouldn't really expect it to.
If I open a Publisher document, then Edit in Photo, then Open a Raw file from Photo's File menu, the Raw file is opened independently in the Develop Persona, not added to the Publisher doc.
It doesn't appear in the Publisher document's layer stack, even after pressing Develop. I've basically got two separate files open in Photo - the Publisher page and the Raw image.

I have never tested this by trying to add a RAW image to an APub document
I have, briefly. The Develop Persona requires an RGB pixel layer, so your original Publisher document also has to be RGB, and you have to rasterise the original Image layer. World of pain...

You might want to start by checking the settings in Develop Assistant. In particular, set the Exposure bias to "Apply exposure bias as initial state". (Your image was shot with an exposure adjustment of +0.33, which won't be picked up by default.) You'll then have to cancel the develop session and re-open the image to see the effect.
Have you watched the official Affinity tutorial video about raw development? Lots of helpful information there. Also here (Advanced Raw Development).

Me too, similar setup to yours. Choosing fonts in Separated Mode is practically impossible, even if all open documents are maximised. Works fine when non-separated.

As a forlorn hope, you can download previous versions of Photo, including 1.7.x, here. I believe they will run as 30-day trials.

Same glitch in Photo 1.8.3 and Publisher 1.8.3.

I'm seeing the same red "error" text as @JessBundy (MacOS 10.15, Designer 1.8.3). However, if I type a value into the hex input box and then press enter or tab on the keyboard, the colour is set and saved, with the final character obscured:
I'm also seeing some odd behaviour with tooltips using the picker (visible in video) in the Green and combined input boxes. Very strange...

Snapping to guides works in AFdesigner (beta Win) on the textual baseline
And in OSX Catalina. Pull down a guide, snap the baseline, not the bounding box.

Hi @AAC
I don't think it's you - I find exactly the same thing. And it's not just sharpening: Adjustments, Live Filters, Tone Mapping, brushes - nothing I do alters it in any way, even if I delete the extra layers and just apply edits to the Background layer. However, I exported it to .jpg and the exported version works as expected.
My guess is that the file is corrupted, but maybe someone from Affinity can offer more insight.

wonder if the 2.5 trial is somehow using the Google version's plugin *.config files (should be in the same folder as the plugins themselves in the free Google version) & that is causing problems.
I wouldn't be surprised. I may have to move the older stuff off the computer entirely, because with a Plugin Support Path of / (as recommended) the new version is definitely going to find the old *.config files.

@HolgerCarl I have a MacBook Pro and a very basic Wacom tablet.
You may need to change the Controller settings in the Context toolbar:
With the Controller set to None, pen pressure doesn't work for me. With Brush Defaults it does.
Hope this helps,

I'm certainly seeing some oddities with the 30-day free trial of NIK 2.5 running on Catalina/Photo 1.8.1, similar setup to @ipb
Running HDR Efex Pro 2 has just crashed Photo a couple of times, and before that I was getting some horrible visual glitches:
Followed by misaligned chunks of the image when committing the NIK edit (I can't replicate this at the moment, so no screen shots).
I'm also seeing display issues with the Viveza interface - unlabelled sliders, together with a washed-out image display not reflecting the plugin settings, the view in the Loupe or the results when committed. Viveza hasn't crashed on me (yet...)
Hard to know if it's a problem with Photo or the NIK plugins, or both, or neither...
I think I'll scrub my 30-day trial and go back to the Google versions. I don't see any need to re-install.

@Designer1 I believe that the Geometry/Divide command has picked up some nasty bugs in version 1.8.1. As I understand it the developers are aware.

Glad it was helpful!

These are my settings in the Paragraph panel:
Right aligned in the top row, and the values that you need to look at are in the middle column under "Spacing" - 26 is the Right Indent, 11.9 is Last Line Outdent which seems to adjust itself automatically as I adjust the Right Indent.
36 minutes ago, hujikoda said:How did you add this ruler above your text?
The text box was created using the Frame Text Tool, and in version 1.8.1 the Text Ruler at the top appears to be there all the time. It doesn't appear if you use the Artistic Text Tool, and looking at some older posts, it may be that in earlier builds of Publisher (eg 1.7.x) you could show and hide the Text Ruler from the View menu.

Hi @Sagan and welcome! It looks to me as though your candy heart group doesn't have a tick in the box next to it. That means it and its members have been set to invisible. Tick the box and see?

It also requires a 64-bit processor, so it's hardware dependent too:
Don't quote me, but pre-2007 hardware may not play ball.

That is indeed the main menu. If you click About... you'll get a splash screen indicating which version of Photo you're running, below the word "Photo":
The most recent commercial release is 1.8.1.
Your main menu doesn't include a "Check for updates" menu item, which suggests to me that you bought the original from the Mac AppStore.
If you launch the Mac AppStore and search for Affinity Photo, you'll find this page:
If the button in the top right says "Update", then click it to update. If it says "Open", then the AppStore thinks you're already up to date.

It sounds as though it's been written by someone who is very set in their ways, who has invested huge amounts of time in the other two programs, and who didn't expect to be on a learning curve. Without knowing which Affinity program she was using, it's hard to offer much more in the way of comment.

"Should be"? Who says? Leading applies to an entire paragraph, it makes perfect sense to have it in the paragraph settings.

I can see it.

If you go to Select - Select Sampled Colour:
Click to select the colour you want to modify. You can adjust the tolerance and then apply an adjustment layer (HSL for example).
Hope this helps.

Launch the AppStore, search for Designer and click through. You should see an Update button. Worked for me last night on the UK AppStore.

Thanks @MEB I wasn't aware of that.

Yes, that does work. But you can do it without having the Publisher page open in Photo. Just copy and paste from one app to the other.
