Firstly I wrote Affinity designer and that should of read Affinity Publisher so apologies for that. I also apologise for not looking at the family history program in greater depth. I think I have found the solution. On revisiting the family tree program I found that I can set a page size size to A5 and export as an RTF file, so I am getting somewhere, Thank you everybody for answering my query I will now get back to the drawing board. Once again heart felt apologies for taking up peoples time.. Cheers John

@Alfred. Sounds like a good solution. Can you elaborate on how to scale down please so it ends up as an A5 booklet. Cheers John

I use Ancestry family tree make and I can generate an A4 family history PDF in Microsoft print to PDF format. I would like to put this in an Affinity Designer A5 Booklet. What is the best way about setting out to achieve this please?

Thank @walt.farrell. Fortunately I had a studio pre-set saved from an earlier time. It did not have all I wanted so I added what I wanted and saved that pre-set. Cheers John

Good afternoon @GarryP After loading a studio reset I set about finding what I had done wrong. In the left Studio panel I inadvertently clicked on close group. It was this I was unable to get back. The Left Studio in the Window box was ticked I tied unticking and re-ticking but the left studio did not show up at all. I can only presume the close group must have an unclose facility somewhere. Cheers John

Help please. I clicked on the close (X) accidently on the left hand studio panel, even when I choose show left studio in the windows menu it does not reappear. Windows version. Cheers John

thank you

Is there a feature within any of the programs to save a windows layout of your workspace configuration please? Cheers John

This is the reverse of the card. Observations welcome before I sublimate. Cheers John

Ok points taken, your constructive criticisms/suggestions now been taken on board. The template has been altered to reflect these. Have also increased the text tracking within the roundel. Thanks to all for the feedback.

Silver aluminium business card, printed (n-up (9))on my Sawgrass printer then Sublimated on the heat press. Will be doing the reverse later today. created in Affinity Designer. Going to try white aluminium business card for the next batch.

That's absolutely brilliant, thanks to all for the explanations and images. @G13RL @markw and @GarryP Its for part of a design feature on a sublimated business card for my wife. Thanks once again to you all.

Help needed. can anybody suggest how I can recreate this 6 sided shape? I have tried all manner of ways to no avail. Cheers John

@GarryP Would you believe it. The printer now tells me we had been given the wrong information by a member of staff who insisted only EPS files would be acceptable. I am now told by the MD that for a fee of £10 they could of used the original png file I sent. However as an apology and goodwill gesture they have waived this fee and have given 10% off of the total order. All that time wasted recreating a file for EPS output.

Good afternoon @GarryP. I cannot open the file in Adobe reader. I have Affinity Photo as the default program to load EPS files. Have altered the ellipse shapes and marginally better

Good afternoon. Still working on this logo (what a headache) On producing the EPS file when I view it and resize smaller the ellipsis and some of the lines do not scale down. Am I doing something wrong. I have the scale with object selected in the stroke width panel Logo Mk1.eps logo wrk.afdesign

@GarryP Sadly they wont accept anything else. They are using Coral Draw and its want they insist on. never mind I will use the pen tool and do away with the outline. Cheers anyway . John

I am recreating a Logo and all is managing to export to an EPS file ok apart from several outlines on a shape. I have to rasterise these sadly on the EPS export. The printer wont accept this. Is there a way around this please?

a portion of my latest club flier mostly done in Affinity designer.

I have designed a logo. we are being asked to supply it in EPS format. A couple of questions if I may. 1 the original has a transparent background (when I create a png export it shows a transparent background) but the EPS export file it shows a white background? 2 What are the best EPS settings for this file to be exported in please? This is for sublimation on a variety of coloured backgrounds and I do not wish for the white background just the logo. Cheers John KGIBClogob MODIFIED.afphoto

When using Pageplus 32bit version I had use of a simple page curl filter. i cannot seem to find one for Affinity Photo, has anybody got any pointers as to find and use one please?

@markw That's just what I was after and trying to do. Sadly my fault as I was looking to alter the orientation through the layers menu in the studio panel to get some sort of adjustment on screen within the context toolbar. would be nice if the last used mesh within the project would stay in the context toolbar rather than altering to mesh. Thank you once again.

Hi @GarryP not sure you mean by this, can you please elaborate. Cheers John

When using the warp group in Designer and selecting the Arc Horizontal it shows the text facing up, is there a way to modify this to show the text facing downwards please?

It went very well, Gary was not a particularly good Elvis impersonator, but he made up for that in spades as a good all round entertainer. It was a sell out, just short of 100 guests, had to do a ticket re-run as I had only printed 75. Food was great (Scampi-n-chips. Cheeseburger-n-chips and Chicken burger-n-chips). Everybody voted for him to be rebooked in September. Thanks for asking @William Overington
