Hi.
My pdf viewer of choice, PDF X-Change Editor, shows the native dimensions of your posted file as 82.8mm x 85.9mm. By default (I think) AD opens your file as "maximum" view. In that scenario, it does indeed appear pixellated and, because I don't have the font you used, the text is "wrong".
However, if you change the "displayed" size (via View>Zoom>100%, shortcut Ctrl+1) you will see your design without any pixellation, in both AD release and latest beta.

@Littletank
I suspect the difference between 4GB and 8GB RAM would be barely noticeable for @Hofmanfoto. The real "slowdown" for his/her computer is the age, capacity and speed of the CPU.
As @MEB, I think, infers, Photoshop CS2, at least, is now very "old" software, designed to run on machines of a much lower spec than are currently common. Hence, his advice to continue using it.

Hi, welcome to the Affinity forums.
A computer running an Intel Pentium Dual Core CPU at 2.4GHz, with only 4 GB RAM and a 64 bit operating system is very much at the very low end of what is needed to run modern software like the Affinity range, IMO.
There has been much comment and debate in these forums about the time taken to open Affinity Photo and particularly, to open RAW files. I honestly don't think the spec of your current computer is really sufficient to allow you to benefit from the many features of Affinity Photo.
What other software do you run on this same machine? Do you see similarly "slow" opening and processing times?

Duplicate post.

Good question!
Using the latest release version on the same image, c.12 seconds.
Not especially wishing to continue the dictionary debate but it does seem to me that your quoted definition does not undermine my comment that there is a real sense in which the word "hopeless" implies a problem which cannot be remedied; indeed it rather strengthens it, I think.

Hi.
Thank you for your response.
I think you may have missed the fact that I said my AP results were achieved whilst using the latest beta release; the time taken to open RAW files, be they Nikon, Canon, or whatever, has been a particular concern for the development team, in response to many posters to the forum raising it as an issue. The recent beta releases which are leading to the forthcoming version 1.6 have demonstrated, on my system at least, a very great improvement in this specific area.
So, "hopeless" (implying, as it does, there is no chance of improvement), as I wrote before, "I think not". If you are prepared to stick with this and, once version 1.6 is finally released, test again the speed of RAW files opening I'm pretty certain you will find the situation very considerably improved.

Absolutely HOPELESS
That is a matter of opinion, I would dare to venture!
However, it is true to say that the time taken to open RAW files in APhoto has been the subject of many posts (please do a search!).
However, I just tested this on the beta version of the app. Results: DPP, c.1 second, as you say; AP Beta 1.6.0.84, c.4 seconds.
"Hopeless", I think not!

Hi, welcome to the Serif Affinity forums.
I suspect, from the content of your question, that you actually own and use one of the Serif legacy range, namely PagePlus, and that is the program you are asking for help with?
If so, you really need to post to the forum for those legacy products, here. This forum is for the products in the new Affinity range of products from Serif.

Topaz Labs Star Effects plug in? I have used this successfully to add all sorts of star effects to a range of images. IMO, well worth the cost.

what are the GPU manufacturers websites can you give me the brief explanation about that and can you please tell where I have to download the driver and if you know any of the resources can you please mention.
Hi.
In order to be able to answer this and possibly help you we need to know many more details about your computer: manufacturer, model (number or name), what GPU, even the Operating System, RAM, CPU, type and size of hard drive, etc., etc..
You wrote in your original post that you downloaded the latest drivers for the GPU, I downloaded the beta ones. Where did you download them from? If it was not the manufacturer's site you could have downloaded an "unofficial" driver, not approved by the manufacturer.
The more information you can give us the more likely we will be able to at least offer some advice.

@Kasper-V attempting to access your link to download the file produces this error page:
Any idea why?

Hi,
I'm coming a little late to this thread but I wonder whether either or both of the following might help:
- https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/17588/fix-problems-that-block-programs-from-being-installed-or-removed is an official Microsoft page which claims to be able to help resolve problems like you are experiencing.
- Whenever I have been confronted by a problem of this nature, especially one where a program fails to uninstall properly, I have used Revo Uninstaller (the free version is available from https://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html). Personally, I use the paid-for Pro version since it adds the facility to monitor the installation of programs in order to ensure that any subsequent uninstallation runs successfully. In the Pro version (I think the free version includes this) to achieve what you need you select the Forced Uninstall option, point it to the program by name and let it search all your computer for anything related to that program. Nothing is deleted or changed until and unless you accept what the app lists as parts of the program. It is always worth carefully checking everything it suggests should be deleted, especially any registry entries.

Just tested this, using Canon cr2 RAW files.
No filter is available until you press "develop"; the resulting image can then have the Haze Removal Filter applied, and it works without problem. (AP1.5.2.69, release version)

Hi welcome to the Affinity forums.
If the two plug ins you mention are designed to "automate" processes then no, they cannot be used in AP. Currently, automate plugins cannot be used.

Thank you Alfred, thats very helpful. Looks like it may be worthwhile, especially as it works as a plug-in.
Except I don't think it does, (work as a plug-in) either in Affinity Photo or PhotoPlus X8!

I'm obviously NOT DWright but...
My very strong suspicion is that the amount of RAM you have (3GB is an "unusual" figure, more common to see amounts in multiples of 2 or 4) is, frankly, barely enough to run Windows 10 64 bit. To then open a RAW file must be maxing out your memory and causing an awful lot of swapping to disc and your page file. Hence, the delays and "Not Responding" message.
I honestly think you need to seriously consider adding as much RAM as your computer can handle.

This may seem very stupid of me but where can I find the layers tabOn the right hand side of your workspace, in a set which includes "Adjustment", "Effects" etc., assuming you have the standard workspace set up.

EDIT: beaten by MEB and Callum, but I see no screenshots?
2nd EDIT: I now see Callum's screenshot but MEB's reply has disappeared!!

Hi.
Open the RAW file in AP; it will open automatically in the Develop Persona. Make any changes/edits to the image that you wish. Click on the Develop button/tab, top left hand corner. Image will then open in the Photo Persona. Again, make any additional changes you wish. Go to File>Export and choose jpg as the format.
Caution: the above is the basic workflow. At each stage of the process there are numerous additional options available to you.

Clearly, Serif staff themselves need to answer your question directly.
But, perhaps the biggest "problem" in this suggestion (apart from the potential loss of at least some revenue for Serif) is that the files produced by PagePlus, .ppp format, will NOT be compatible with the new Affinity Publisher so it will not be possible to open PP files in APub.
Jeff
EDIT: I see Alfred posted as I was writing.

Hi.
I'm pretty certain PS Actions are not supported in AP.

I'm not at all sure about this, but since the line of text has a blue box around it can you not simply drag the right hand edge to the left and make the text "fit" within the correct space?

Hi, welcome to the Affinity forums.
Unfortunately, your screenshot is too small to be able to really see any details but have you checked under View>Studio>Symbols that the latter is ticked?
