    The simple fact that Canva is subscription based is enough to ring the alarm bells that Affinity WILL BE the same and there is nothing ASH & Co. can do as they have bought out and they simply cannot make this decision. Affinity simply does not have the cash or man power like Canva to take these trio forward and this simply means the only option however with a lot of caveat - It would would have been better to approach Adobe or Corel or even Microsoft than Canva and they fact Canva approached them simply means they were not in a great position - Some of their practice is wrong some of the most fundamental features (RTL Support) were and are not even considered and we are reaching 2.4.1. - Senier engineers have left the company - So Canva was a life save for Affinity (At least) - Don't for one moment think you will not be forced into subscription scheme - I will be amazed if we even see version 3!!!!

    Out of all the companies Canva????? You might have teamed up with Adobe!

    This will be the fate of affinity soon... Another victim of Canva!

    I must say this was a shock but not a good one - Canva also bought SMARTMOCKUPS.COM which was amazing and now they are shutting it down - I do hope this is not the case with Affinity. Canva have the cash and resources and do make the final decision which is a shame. All this companies say at the beginning no no we will be independent but in reality that will not be the case.

    Lee; This has never been an issue I have already produced 3 more books and it has compiled it albeit it has taken a few hours. At this stage in the project I don't want to experiment with splitting the file. Does it tell you which image? How does one even split a file?

    @Lee_T Any updates on this? Have you had a chance to try to reproduce it?
  7. Sam Neil
    Lee - Thank you for the link - The files have been uploaded. There is a screenshot of the PDF settings which is basic - however since this book is RTL, you will need to use the number arrangement in the text file , otherwise the pages will be wrong. See the screenshot provided. Sam

    I sure hope so!

    I need a Dropbox Link as it is not possible to upload it.

    Hi; I have a 710 page book that I am trying to export as PDF and in V1 it crashes 3/4 of the job - I packaged it and reopened in Version 2.2.1 and pretty much the same issue - While it does not crash, it gives an error and is unable to continue. I desperately need to get this file to the printers so your help is appreciate it. I have included the reports. I am hoping you can shed some light on this as I am desperate and the printers are waiting for it. Cheers 0a4fa748-e8f4-4d1e-a6e4-de477526da3f.dmp

    Walt - This is not ideal as I may not always use the keyboard to save and click on the menu but appreciate the workaround.

    I hope it is in the list as I think this is critical issue and if there is no back up of the file - it is damaged. Please bump this one if you can.

    @Lee D I was wondering if this made it to the fix list. It is becoming extremely difficult and dangerous as when attention is not paid and I SAVE rather than EXPORT I mess up the file. I nearly 5000 JPEGs like this that need to be cropped and saved.
  14. Sam Neil
    Great stuff Lee - Thank you for efforts.
  15. Sam Neil
    OK but it made no difference. Here is before and after - I simply cropped and saved.
  16. Sam Neil
    Hold down the CTRL key and open - Not following this - This opens the open file dialog box. HA - was and is switched off
  17. Sam Neil
    @Lee D Any news on this issue?

    Video_2023-10-02_142004.mp4 There you go Lee.

    Lee the screen recording will not show anything as the newly saved file is not the same what is in Photos. It becomes apparent when you go and open the newly saved file.

    I am not sure about iPad as I use only the Windows version.
  21. Sam Neil
    Lee - Not much to it - You can try it yourself - Take the original image - lets say crop it and simple SAVE it rather than export and the quality is diminished. I have a huge batch and don't know the source I am afraid.
  22. Sam Neil
    Has anyone had a chance to look into this?
  23. Sam Neil
    Can someone explain why does Photos 2.2 messes up the colours when i make a change to the image and SAVE rather than EXPORT with this JPEG? In some other image, it adds a green background and pixelate it.
  24. Sam Neil
    No problems - Just exported to PDF from Publisher 2.2.0. All OK

    Ash; Well-done to you and your team & beta testers. Ash please please give some indication or support for RTL languages as I fear the software will become so complex that a retrofit of some sort would prove impossible. Affinity has built a truly world class software that I at least use on daily basis at work and at home but this vital feature is creating a lot of obstacles. Sorry I did not want to sound I am ranting and once again congrats and well-done.
