    Copy the artwork and text from the 72dpi document and paste them into the 300dpi

    well... yes the size will be different, but I didn't find any other differences between them. Note: I always turn on 'scale with object' before copying curves.

    IMO, Intel Macs are no longer a good deal

    I have a different setup. I use three Mac Minis: a 2015 Intel, a 2012 Intel, and an M1. The 2012 Mac Mini handles all my audio production, running Yosemite and ProTools 10 with over 15,000 plugins. It’s fast, responsive, and works great, even though it's frozen in time with no updates. For internet access, I only use Chromium, and everything is networked via a shared RAID tower. I control both of these older Macs—affectionately called 'the grandmas'—with one keyboard and mouse. The 2015 Mini, running Catalina, manages all LLM portals, servers, and SaaS apps related to social media and SEO, with over 10,000 integrations. So, Intel still rocks if you keep them rooted in the past.

    There's no way someone paying $16.50 for unlimited downloads is generated fair revenue for designers on that platform

    I pay yearly and it pay itself after taxes, as a creative I benefit using it as a assets library, but if you asked me about submitting templates as a Envato collaborator, I will say "No, Thank You". It is the worst platform on supporting artists. That's why it has been super slow updating items. They changed the look but nothing new came with it. Between you and I, I think they are struggling to survive because of that.

  4. I subscribe to Envato Elements, and for the type of work I do, it’s been worth it. I use almost everything they offer—videos, audio, effects, etc.—for my graphic design projects. I love creating everything from scratch, but for quick, smaller jobs, their library is sufficient. Of course, I always end up modifying whatever I download to fit my style or needs. Thankfully, Affinity can open both Illustrator and Photoshop files! After reading your rant, I’m starting to think we should create an Envato Elements-style platform specifically for Affinity users to share templates and macros, helping to inspire and support one another. I’ve got over 40,000 Affinity files on my external drive since 2014!

    I doubt Markdown will ever be supported in copy and paste.

    I found the solution! The PopClip app does this magically! In this video you can see how easy it is! 

    I copy the content from a document, refine the content with AI, copy the Markdown content and paste it on the new layout design document and use PopClip to convert it into RTF instantly!

    What does this mean?

    I opened the file, copied the content, and pasted it into Affinity Publisher. However, instead of seeing the actual content, I got the Markdown code. I'm not going to convert all these documents individually using a third-party app—it's much faster to place or copy and paste them directly. It's frustrating that Publisher can't handle Markdown!

  7. I'm struggling with magazine designs for a client. Despite providing all the documentation in Markdown format, when I paste the content into Designer, it only shows the Markdown code. I initially thought Publisher would be suitable for this purpose since it handles all text needs, but unfortunately, Markdown doesn't work there either. Is there a plugin or a setting trick that would allow me to use Markdown text with Affinity apps, or am I out of luck?

    I understand that Affinity does many things differently than Adobe. But I don’t see an issue with comparing products from different companies and requesting features that are in other apps.

    No Issue! Comparing products is essential for market growth. My response was straightforward: if you need Adobe's tools, use Adobe. It's that simple. I once asked a Grammy-winning music producer why he didn't use industry-standard Pro Tools. His reply? 'SAW Plus is what got me these Grammys.' Clearly, the best tool depends on specific needs.

    we need a envelope distort that works like illustrator

    If you're an Affinity user, you're likely aware of the distinct offerings it provides compared to Adobe. Asking Affinity to replicate what Adobe has achieved would be akin to requesting Adidas to incorporate Nike's Air soles in their sneakers. Each app offers unique tools to meet the specific needs of artists. Adobe remains the industry standard and is the right choice if it meets your needs. However, if you're open to learning something new and maximizing its offerings, then Affinity is a compelling alternative. You can get similar results with time and patience like in this video:
