  1. It is the page size, which may not be the same size as the paper you are printing on. You can print with crop marks so that smaller pages can be easily cut from larger sheets of paper. Depending on how you configure printing, you might print multiple pages to one sheet, for example.
  2. This smells like a preference: When importing IDML files: Auto-detect embedded vs. linked Prefer linked unless all images in the existing document are embedded Always prefer embedded Always prefer linked Embed all images upon import
  3. Artistic text doesn't have a frame, so there is nothing to adapt.
  4. No, I think you are confusing two discussions. I was saying that for your suggestion of what basically amounts to a "more" button they should be combined and the tabs eliminated so as to avoid wasting the space. For the most recent / all headers, they could be under each tab; that way the most recent always are at the top and easily accessed, and the rest can be found directly without the extra click on the "more" button.
  5. I was originally going by the mockup you provided in your OP - you show four entries and a "more" button on each tab, and that I would be strongly opposed to. Clicking the tab should be enough to show all of the options. Adding a "most recently used" section to the top then showing all of the options underneath it would be fine, maybe something like this: Having the tabs and the "more" button though is just an extra click to reveal them which would be pointless and you would be wasting all of the remaining space there until the button was clicked. If the idea was to get rid of the tabs and show the sections as separate headers instead, then I could see that scheme working, but personally I would still prefer the current approach.
  6. So, you are saying to do away with the tabs at the top and have a simple list, placing the templates under headers, and only showing the most recent few (one row of templates) under each header until the user expands that section? That is a bit better than what I had thought you were asking for.
  7. Not the same thing. Serif generally does not provide this information. If they decide to add the feature it will appear in a beta release some day. This feature was previously discussed on the forum:
  8. Chances are there will not be until it shows up in a beta. The 1.8 betas are known to be late in their development cycle and this has not shown up, so chances are it won't be happening in the 1.8 releases. That is as much as anyone outside of Serif is going to be able to tell you, and Serif probably won't tell you any more either until they are ready to release it.
  9. This is kind of interesting considering how many threads there are on the forum begging for and complaining about various formats that the Affinity programs do NOT currently support.
  10. This depends on how the frame is configured - scale to max fit and scale to min fit will maintain aspect ratio. Stretch to fit will cause the behavior that you are describing. If it is set to "none" then the image can be scaled manually, separately from the frame. In this case, double-click the frame to select the actual image layer inside the frame, then shift-drag the corner handles, or drag one of the side/top/bottom handles. Dragging the side/top/bottom handles also works if the image is not in a frame.
  11. I am guessing you are trying to zoom to a level > 100%? Affinity Photo is optimized for working on raster images, so its defaults and the way that it renders the display lend themselves to work of that nature. If you are trying to work primarily on vector objects (without the on-screen previews being rendered as if rasterized at the document resolution) you should consider using Affinity Designer instead.
  12. You can do that with one finger if you lay it down flat and stretch it across the two buttons? It is in the status bar gizmo at the bottom of the window - point to a handle... it shows what the relevant modifiers are depending on the context.
  13. Only filters though, I suspect @thegary is referring to plugins that add functionality to the program's UI. This has been discussed at length on other threads around the forum; this thread is mostly a duplicate.
  14. Yes, and from what I can see, most of the features requested in the OP already seem to be there, unless there are aspects of the request that I'm not following. It looks like the iPad version has mostly the same functionality as the same feature in the desktop version.
  15. It already runs on iPad which is ARM-based. There are rumors that future Macs will switch to ARM processors so they might be forced into it on the Mac platform. Right now there are limitations regarding supporting ARM processors on Windoze due to the UI toolkit they are using not working on 64-bit ARM processors. There was discussion about this on another thread. Because of that issue, if you ever see ARM support for Windoze, it will probably be a while as they may need to recreate the UI using another toolkit, which could be a fair bit of work.
  16. ProPresenter is another option, but it may be a bit overkill depending on your requirements...
  17. Serif does not normally reply to feature requests. They read them, but do not usually reply.
  18. Why not? Saying it is not as useful provides almost nothing to work with. Can you give a specific example of what it is not as useful for, or something that it is lacking? It seems to me that having it as a brush provides more control over where the color is replaced, as the need to mask an area of the image ahead of time to apply the change to is reduced if not eliminated.
  19. Will the trial version unlock the beta? Thinking probably not, though would be fine with being wrong...
  20. From what I am seeing online, Photoshop maintains an association between the styles and the layers they are applied to. In other words, when you apply a style in Photoshop, it remembers which styles are applied to the object, so there is a record of where those attributes came from. Affinity Photo is not Photoshop. The styles are *not* associated with the objects, rather the attributes are applied directly to the objects themselves, so there is no record of where the attributes came from or what values were present before the styles were applied. There is nothing there to revert to - "removing" the style would not go back to what was there before, it would leave you with nothing. What you are requesting is not present because it is not possible unless the entire model of how styles work were to be changed. While that is not impossible, and the request to make that change is not unreasonable for some point in the future, I would not expect it anytime soon. Serif has indicated that they do not plan on making changes that would disrupt existing workflows, and this change could potentially do so.
  21. These are considered document formats rather than image formats and are treated differently.
  22. It is actually a special brush in Affinity Photo: https://affinity.help/photo/en-US.lproj/index.html?page=pages/Painting/replaceClrs.html?title=Replacing colors by brush Also:
