Just did a group of 100 RAW/NEF pics, processed, cropped, tone mapped and custom exported. I used to be able to get some coffee drinking done and checking email etc. during each stage! Now APh is TOO FAST! I'm not even getting my coffee consumption where it needs to be! 
Thanks for getting this version working so much faster! 

Fixed in beta version 1.7.2.422

I've found the solution I'm looking for, so after editing the pages in Abbyfinereader 14, I export each scanned page individually in png, then in Affinity Publisher I import png pages with Picture Frame. Now I can print in booklet mode. So happy...  Affinity Publisher.

Similar to what Walt suggested, I would go right-back to basics to try and isolate where the issue lies from there.  
Assuming you've already installed the latest version of Affinity Photo (1.7.1.404), try doing the following:
1) Go to [Edit > Preferences > Colour] and set the settings to the same as in the below screenshot:


2) Go to [File > New] and open a new blank document using the same settings as in the below screenshot (pay particular attention to the 'Colour Format' and 'Colour Profile').  In this case the document is using a 'sRGB IEC61966-2.1' document colour profile:


3) Does the red show correctly (red, not orange) in the colour panel, like the following screenshot?


4) Go to [File > New] and open a new blank document using the same settings as in the below screenshot (pay particular attention to the 'Colour Format' and 'Colour Profile').  In this case the document is using a 'ROMM RGB: ISO 22028-2:2013' document colour profile:


5) Does the red show correctly (red, not orange) in the colour panel, like the following screenshot?


6) If in both cases above (I.E. using either a 'sRGB IEC61966-2.1' document colour profile or a 'ROMM RGB: ISO 22028-2:2013' document colour profile) the red is still not showing correctly, then it's possible there could be an issue with your monitor colour profile.  
In which case, go to [Windows Control Panel > Colour Management > Devices tab].  Make a note of what colour profile is set for 'Display 1'.  Also make a note of what colour profile is set for any other displays as well—if you have more than one display (I.E. 'Display 2' in the drop down menu).
Then temporarily set the monitor profile for the monitor(s) to use the generic 'sRGB IEC61966-2.1' ICM colour profile as the default profile for your monitor(s).  This will use a generic 'sRGB IEC61966-2.1' colour profile instead of your monitor's colour profile.


7) Try from Step 2 again and see if red shows correctly in the colour panel now when using a generic 'sRGB IEC61966-2.1' monitor colour profile instead of your monitor's colour profile.
8) If the colour shows correct when using a generic 'sRGB IEC61966-2.1' monitor colour profile instead of your monitor's colour profile, then that would indicate there's some sort of issue with the monitor colour profile.  In which case, you may be able to see if your monitor manufacturer has drivers on their website that contain a different ICM profile that you can try, or maybe see if you still have the discs that came with the monitor and get them from that, however these will possibly be the same as the ones you're already using.  If you know someone with a monitor hardware calibrator, you could also try creating a custom monitor profile with that and using that profile in Windows Colour Management. 
 

This thread is descending rapidly. Either keep things civil and on-topic or I'll lock it.

Can't you see that this Vlars is from the dark "pay for the rest of you life" side .... Three posts and just whinning about features not there ....  I agree that everybody has the right to express themself... but this kind of account should be closed... before I get another Warning point.

I think the idea is to do all the heavy lifting in Photo and designer and then use studio link for tweaking as needed. The Publisher interface is not really set up to do the major design work of Photo and Designer

We only have access to what the Dev Team members say, and they are weel aware of this and will work on it. What I am hoping is that it will be addressed in the dollowing months, since we don't know:
Technically, how complex to fix this is. Exact to-do list of Matt Priestley, the person that will focus on this. Best regards!

It is on my to-do list.
 

Hi adirusf, thank you for your attention to this issue. I know that when documents become complex, they can lead to performance degradation. But when I had performance problems today, i had only a few shapes in my document. 
After exploring, I found that the delay occurred because the appearance panel was turned on and set fills for a shape. As long as it existed, the document slowed down. When it was turned off, the delay was greatly relieved.
Below I attach the GIF screen recording and the test file.

Thanks guys,
An interesting discussion - kirk23 - you make a good point about PNG optimising away colours when alpha is zero. This is a strong enough argument to justify the inclusion of TGA as an exportable format - so we will implement it.

.eb: Do not make ad hominem attacks on other users - it makes you look like a child and if you continue I will remove you from the forum.

It's a reasonable request, but the trouble with promising features, is that when they don't appear for whatever reason, people get annoyed - this post is an example of that. So for now, we have nothing to say about future features.
I would also like to re-iterate that we released Designer 5 years ago, and our customers have been receiving free feature and bug fix releases over this period. We think that's pretty reasonable.

This is something we are aware of. It will get addressed.

Hi all, there's another thread that has identified the Appearance Panel as the culprit - and we've just put in a fix today for this, so expect it to be in the next available beta. Thanks.

I can confirm this too with Windows 10 17763

Same here. I'm having a really frustrating time setting up an exam paper.
WORKAROUND:
I copied and pasted the entire table and the problem was gone.  First I pasted the entire table into a new document and then the problem-free table back to my document, but found that it worked when I just did it inside my document as well.  So I just selected all the cells and copied the entire thing and pasted it again, the I deleted the faulty table.
Hope this works for you as while they find and fix the bug.
