  1. OK thanks David - we use THG to do our website and they are pretty funny about resolutions and sizes. I think they dump the images into their content management system which may throw up an error if it sees the files are not 72dpi. I find it odd that AP doesn't have an option to just change the resolution without having to specify a width & height? They could just add that as an option in the JPG ... box. Perhaps I'll post a suggestion to them about it. As I said Photoshop can do it, so I'll have to keep using that for now as I don't have the time to keep messing with different apps to get this job done.
  2. OK so are you saying that the actual files are 72dpi but becuase the Exif data is not changed they show as 300dpi?
  3. Hi David, Thanks for your reply, your method is getting closer as the dimentions are correct (some heights are 1px smaller), however the resized files are still at 300dpi and I need them to be 72dpi or my web team will reject them.
  4. Hi all, thanks for your replies. However, I think I may have not been clear in what I am asking for. So let me explain. I need to have the batch/macro open a 300dpi file and reduce the resolution to 72dpi with resampling of the image ON. When I record this as a macro AP always seems to keep the Width & Height of the image used in the recording in the macro as well as the resolution change. This means that all of my images will come out of the batch at the same dimentions. I do not want this! What I need is for each image to be reduced in resolution but for the batch to ignore the dimentions of the image. So all of my images will be reduced in resolution but their original aspect ratios (now smaller) will be individually retained. I need to do this because I get files supplied from a designer that are the correct dimentions but at are output from their application at 300dpi (for quality) but I need to use them on the web at 72dpi. Is this possible with Affinity Photo at the moment. (PS can do this in a batch)... Thanks again... PS: I'm on a Mac not a PC...
  5. Hello, I have to process a load of images that are 300dpi, they are also all different sizes (Width/Height). I need to resize them all to 72dpi but keep the original aspect ratios. I've tried to record a macro to do this but because the macro uses an existing image when I run the batch all of my images end up as 72dpi but also all at the same dimentions as the macro! Unfortunately, this is not what I need. Am I missing something? Is there a way to just batch downsize the resolution on lots of different sized images? Thanks in advance.
  6. I think I may have found another bug in the swatches palette? If you select an object and then switch from the fill to the stroke or vice versa using the two circles icon or use X to switch, the swatches palette does not update to show the selected colour unless you re-select the object. The Colour Palette shows the change, but I think the Swatches Palette should update as well as it's very confusing to not see the colour highlighted when you switch but it will be highlighted if you select an object on the page!
  7. I want this ability as well - I can't believe that you have to open the file in Publisher to turn on/off the Special Characters (invisible) text characters!
  8. I still have this issue too. I'm using Publisher Beta 1.7.0.206 running on MacOS 10.14.2 and my display preference is set to Metal - which I would prefer. If I set the display preference to OpenGL, then the grid will show on the selected page.
  9. I would like to suggest that the Master page currently being used on a document page should always be visible in the 'Pages Studio' either on the page icon (like ID) or underneath the page icon perhaps in brackets after the page number? Rather than having me hover over each page just to see which master is being applied. You could also make this a 'Pages Studio' preference instead if you wanted to give people a choice. Also I agree with an earlier poster (sorry I didn't make a note of who it was) when they suggested adding a plus sign '+' to the Add Pages/Masters and Duplicate Pages/Masters Icons, it would just make it much clearer what they are for without again having to hover over them. I guess you would get used to the way these work in time but I believe that if you are going to use an icon it should immediately convey what clicking it would do. All in all, I think you are moving in the right direction and for a v.1 product it's very good, some people here seem to forget how limited ID v.1 was back in the day! Thanks
  10. 1. The grid display only shows on page one of a document. You can also get it to show on a Master Pages. However, the Master page grid will not visually match the one on page one (even if they have the same settings in the grid manager) if you switch between the Master and Page one. I would imagine this is due to the bleed display issue in my point 2 below. 2. The bleed does not show on the Master page. 3. If you draw a Table then select a cell you can't use the 'Command +' shortcut to zoom in. However, the 'Command -' shortcut to zoom out still works. 4. The 'delete' key seems to add a space into a text box if nothing is selected and it will also add a space to the text box if you delete a selection. The 'arrow' keys put small boxes with an X in them into the text instead of moving the cursor. This issue seems to be fixed by re-starting the application. FYI: I am using Affinity Publisher Beta on a Mac running MacOS 10.13.6
  11. Ahh I see now - thanks for letting me know. I didn’t realize the frame around the table wasn’t a part of the table itself! I guess because the table tool draws the box and the table at the same time, I didn’t see it as being a separate box with a table inside... In which case it’s not a bug after all - Also the Find menu seems to have stopped crashing the app as well.
  12. Hello Affinity people, First let me say thanks for giving us the opportunity to beta test publisher and to hopefully help to make it the application we all want it to be. It's looking really good so far. However, there are lots of things missing for me and my workflow (e.g. scripting and grep styles) but I hope that you will continue to add these kinds of features as the application matures. I am having an issue with the new publisher beta (1.7.0.58) where the frame around a table is always drawing behind the fill and strokes of the cells. I have attached a screen shot so that you can see the issue. The way I would imagine this working would be that the frame should always draw in front of the cells fill and stroke, unless you have the 'Draw behind fill' checkbox checked. By the way, this check box does nothing at the moment! Also if I choose 'Text | Find' from the menus the application will immediately crash - this happens every time. Thanks again Spacemanspiff
  13. I have found an application crash issue when adding wet edges to a stroke. To reproduce this crash - launch Affinity Photo Beta - make a new file or open an existing one - draw a shape with one of the shape drawing tools - add a stroke to the shape - click the Properties button at the bottom of the stroke popup, then Set Wet Edges On - the app will crash and Quit. :)
  14. I'd like to have the ability to move an object to another layer or layer group by dragging a proxy representation (like the Adobe apps) instead of having to drag the sub-layer. I use this all the time! Please see the little blue square in the attached image. Great work on this app people - can't wait to see Affinity Publisher - that could be a game changer - Please don't allow Adobe to buy your company!
