copying and pasting from word missed black line
Old Bruce replied to Affinityconfusesme's topic in V2 Bugs found on Windows
This could be a Decoration of the text in the MS Word application for which Publisher has no equivalent. -
I cannot offer any worthwhile advice for the large amount of space being taken up by the "backupstore" file but for those of you missing out on the eclipse for whatever reason; give the first Dan Aykroyd movie a look, Love at First Sight (1977). It features a solar eclipse as a plot point and a cameo appearance by the Kentucky Fried Colonel Harland Sanders.

Are you perhaps working in 32bit with the Affinity files? -
Big gap in text I can't explain?
Old Bruce replied to benged123's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
The criss crossed text flow makes me think that you have the text frames doubled. I would look in the flow options. Select the text from a couple of paragraphs before the weird break all the way to the middle of the next page. Use the Paragraph panel to override the Flow options to Off and Start Anywhere. Use the Text Frame Panel to look for differences between the two text frames. Again, I would look for something on the page that has a Text Wrap applied to it. Use the Layers panel, there should only be two text frames in the layers panel. -

@benged123, Could be you have something on the Page that has Text Wrap applied. Look in your Layers panel. And an aside "Low and behold" should be "Lo and behold". Without my emphasis/italic of course. -
Transparency in tiff files (Photo 2.4.1)
Old Bruce replied to Víctor Prieto's topic in V2 Bugs found on Windows
Could be a bug of some sort due to the TIFF having no Colour Profile listed. -
for the problem of the Let us be Clear coming before the Introduction this can be fixed by moving the Art Text layer below the Frame Text layer in the Layers panel. The ToC reads from the bottom up. The other problem is more a case of having the entire paragraph being set with the Heading style Numbered 1. There is no easy way to fix this. You could make some text with a separate Paragraph style which would be used for the three words and set the colour to clear so it doesn't show up in the text flow. Or use an Art Text layer as a pinned object with text wrap at the beginning of the paragraph. Or you could change the look of the paragraphs so the headings look like headings, a separate paragraph on a separate line above the text. The last is probably the easiest to do and maintain.

Index page numbers
Old Bruce replied to NMB's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
I must ask, how is the reader going to find the information from the index? -
@Alessio Principe, Here is my take on your template, not saved as a template though, you can alter it if you want. It is to show how master pages can work together, so it is more complex than yours. One big change I did was to link the two text frames from your Master A. more complex.afpub

Welcome to the forums papiertigre, I think that is a great handle you have chosen. Affinity Publisher on its own cannot use Symbols which would solve this problem. If you own Designer and Publisher then it is quite simple. If you own Publisher only then it becomes more complex, using Publisher's Data Merge would solve it if you have access to a Spread Sheet application that can output .CSV or .XLSX. Do you have access to Publisher and or Designer?

Adobe Bridge Equivalent
Old Bruce replied to Niki Park's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
I use my Mac's Finder to organize and tag my images and occasionally the Canon application DPP4 for culling my Canon raw files. I have always used the Finder to sort and organize my photos even back in the day when I had the Adobe CS applications including Bridge. Your computer's file system can be your friend and is fairly future-proof. -
Fonts
Old Bruce replied to Miguel Teixeira's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
You can look for the Static versions of the Variable fonts and install those instead of (meaning remove the Variables from your computer's fonts). -
After pressing return you should be able to see two sets of little triangles(Red Arrows). A Green for the start and a Red for the end. And a New Paragraph symbol (Green Arrow) if you have Text > Show Special Characters checked. I used Centred for the Alignment for the paragraphs. This makes the words centred between the two little triangles, dragging them will move the text keeping it centred.

I am unfamiliar with the Panasonic camera you are using. Perhaps there is some colour balancing going on inside the camera and this is what is making the JPEGs it is saving look odd/off/wrong. My experience is in using an IR filter on my unmodified Canon and the camera saves as raw files, not JPEGs. Your additional removal of the UF filtering could be the cause, could be part of the cause. I don't know what your reference to "My Pictures" is. There could be further processing going on there, I honestly don't know. Try some pictures saved as raw in the camera.

@Alessio Principe, In addition to Oufti's excellent suggestion I would go a step further and make a Master Page and name it Grey Background consisting of the coloured background rectangle only and apply that Master page to all my Master Pages. Then it is a simple matter of going to that one Master Page (at export time) and turning off the grey layer. Automatically all your pages will have the grey layer removed for printing or export or whatever.

Alter colour on image
Old Bruce replied to pioneer's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
The face doesn't bother me anywhere near as much as these feet do. It looks like they are jumping or on tiptoes. I would make a mask for the face and use an HSL to bring down the saturation, and maybe for the lightness down a bit too.
