  1. @clarissa21, welcome to the Affinity forums. You've posted your question to the "Photo Beta on Windows" forum. Are you trying to install the latest Photo Beta or is this a question about installing the purchased version of Affinity Photo? Is it indeed Affinity Photo you are trying to install, or is it Affinity Designer? If it is a question referring to an installation problem with the retail version of either Photo or Designer, this is the better forum to post to. If your question refers to the Beta of Designer, rather than Photo, you should post it here, assuming you are on a Windows PC rather than a Mac. In order to receive any useful assistance with your problem you really do need also to give a lot more information about your computer, what you have tried to do, with what result (please quote any error message in full) etc., etc. HTH Jeff
  2. Not a problem here with CR2s from my EOS 600D. I think you need to specify exactly which camera has produced the CR2s that open too dark for you and perhaps attach one to a post to the forum for other users to test. Jeff
  3. Opening your supplied file in AP retail (1.6.2.97) and beta (1.6.3.103) I see the same dark image as you posted. Opening it in Raw Therapee 5.3 gives the following. Quite a difference. I see that the lens type is listed as "unknown", could that be the reason?
  4. Inevitable question, I suppose. Are you also downloading and running the beta updates to see precisely the direction of development of the Affinity apps? I'm not a Mac user so can't comment on the specifics of your question but, IMO, the latest Windows betas most definitely show various "developments" when compared with the latest retail version. Jeff
  5. And that was one of the reasons, given that it could never be made fully responsive, why development of WebPlus has stopped!
  6. Fascinating question! I've just re-opened my copy of the APh Workbook, (I've owned it for some weeks but not really had the time to study the projects in detail, yet) and there is almost no smell with it at all, other than what one might expect with a very new book. Certainly, nothing that, to me, would mean I can only use it for a short period of time without a break. I also don't hear the "cracks" you mention either. Is it possible your copy is "faulty"? Can the actual manufacture of a book ever be faulty (other than the obvious problems of misprinted pages, blank pages or pages in the wrong order, glue not properly binding, etc., etc.)? OTOH, I suppose what one user may experience as a "normal", acceptable smell, may not be so for another user. I'll be very interested to see whether any other user has thoughts to offer! Jeff
  7. From what you write this sounds to me like a problem with the settings in your printer. I assume the "Letter Art Paper Margin 30" is a setting which you select via your printer's control panel? If so, are you able to access, view and possibly edit/alter the details of that setting so that the image prints in the centre of the paper? Perhaps if you are able to compare the settings which work for the non Fine Art Paper with those for the Fine Art Paper which do not, you may see differences which could account for your problem. Jeff
  8. @R C-R This thread is remarkably similar to the current one. In that thread I remarked that "The export screen within AP says that the maximum size allowed within the jpg format is 65500 px." so there is a warning, albeit not a pop-up one!
  9. @Rodney47 I think Callum needs the exact location of that folder on your computer! i.e., something like C:\Users\{Your User Name}\ ... It is possible that whichever location you have currently chosen has some sort of access permissions problem and that is what he is trying to help you with. It is also quite possible that you have not had these problems previously but a recent Windows update might have tried to change permissions to something which it (Windows) considers "safer" or "more suitable", even if you are quite happy to keep the old settings! Jeff
  10. Hi Chetram. Your image is (full-size) 79200 px x 28800 px, making a total size (assuming my maths is correct!) of 2,280,960,000 px! The export screen within AP says that the maximum size allowed within the jpg format is 65500 px. Small wonder that AP is unable to export it! Why do you need to export it full-size, even assuming that was possible? (Just to add, on my reasonably powerful machine, simply opening the Export screen and selecting .jpg for your image caused my computer to grind to a halt!) Jeff
  11. I suspect this is one of the "commoner" problems! "Save as" will always save to the afphoto format. To save to a different type/format you need to "Export" (on the file menu). That will allow you to select the format you wish to export to. HTH
  12. Each to their own (and I run AD and AP on Windows, not MAC) but I, for one, quite like the Affinity logo exactly as it is (in both apps!) Since I'm not a MAC user I clearly don't know what app belongs to each icon you show, apart from the "obvious" ones Like Photoshop, Illustrator and Settings, but I see nothing so vastly different in the Affinity logo.
  13. Hi, welcome to the Affinity forum. I can't answer your questions, unfortunately, I'm very much a "basic-level" user, but why not download the trial version of AP from this page (you will need to scroll to the very bottom of the page) and test it out? You just need to be aware that it functions for only 10 days from the day you install it. HTH Jeff
  14. @SheilaDoak, welcome to the Affinity forums. The betas of both Designer and Photo require that full versions of whichever app you want to beta test are already installed on your computer. IOW, if you attempt to install either or both of the betas the installation will first check that you have a purchased version already installed and, if it does not find one, it will ask you to enter the serial number/product key you were given when you bought the app(s). If you are interested in trying out either Affinity Photo or Affinity Designer there are trial versions downloadable (for Designer) here. Just scroll to the very bottom of the page. HTH Jeff
  15. Apologies if this is posted to the wrong forum or is deemed inappropriate here; "Feedback" seemed to be the only suitable area to post it to! As a user of the "x-rite colormunki display" monitor calibration tool and software, I received this morning the attached email, I don't think it's only available to registered users but might prove interesting to users more experienced than me?

  16. Just to add: I've now flagged it to Google as an impersonation. Perhaps Serif should raise the matter with Google as a clear copyright infringement (as already commented, even the logo is a very poor imitation) via this page?
  17. I think it may have been withdrawn. At least it's not in the store now.
  18. Hi Miguel. Many thanks for this; clearly, my memory of how I achieved this before was wrong. However, I now see another problem. I've attached two screenshots: the first is the Sub-category tab when I first open the app and select to add the first design to the panel. The addition is successful. The second screenshot shows what then happens when I select a second design to add it: the hamburger menu disappears and can only be "resurrected" by closing and then re-opening AD. I also notice the scrollbar at the right hand side of the Assets panel has disappeared! ???? Jeff EDIT: Having checked all this again, and reproduced the problem once, but then failed to do so a second time, I see the "sub-category" "Assets" header below the "Personal" category tab "disappears". Sometimes it can be restored by dragging the Assets panel wider and then narrower. Now I am even more confused!
  19. I have downloaded the excellent set of snowflake designs from the Resources section of this forum. I would like to add the designs to my Assets tab. The Help file clearly says I can simply select and drag each separate snowflake to the Assets tab (I think). I'm certain I've done this exact procedure before. But this time, the + sign that the Help file says will appear does not and the individual design is, apparently, dragged beneath the tab but not added to it. I've attached a quick screen recording which shows what happens, or rather doesn't happen. I'd be very appreciative of any advice on this. Thanks, Jeff Capture.mp4 EDIT: to add I'm running version 1.6.2.97 of Designer.
  20. The most "up-to-date" list is available here. I think it is only fair to point out that Miguel (MEB on the forums) who provides that page, is a very busy person and the list may not be completely current! Jeff
  21. Hi, welcome to the Affinity forums. Unfortunately, and despite many appeals from users of the Serif legacy products, it has been made very clear that there are absolutely no plans to create any method to allow the direct import of any legacy DPP or PPP files to any of the Affinity range! Your only option is to export the original files from either DrawPlus or PagePlus as pdf files and then import them into AD or AP. However, you say, I cannot re-install my DrawPlus nor PagePlus on this Windows 10 laptop. Why do you say this? Unless you only have very old versions of the apps there should be no problem reinstalling them, even temporarily, on your computer in order to access the files you wish to transfer to AD. I've only very recently had to rebuild my Win 10 Pro computer and PPX9 and DPX5 both installed without problem. If you do have very old versions, and hence may not be able to install them, if the designs/files you need to access are vital to you it might even be worthwhile to purchase the latest and last version of PP and DP, about £20 each. HTH Jeff
