Well, poops. OK. Thanks, Phil

That's great!

Ah, I see. Thank you. So, am I right in thinking that, for each new file I work on I have to go to Grid and Axis and choose Basic each time or it will do the pixel by pixel level grid? I don't see a way to make it go to that basic grid when I hit Ctrl+'. Thanks again!

On one image I have managed to get grids to show up. On all others they just don't. Is this happening to anyone else? Could I be doing something wrong here? Thanks!

OK. It seems nuts that something as basic and fundamental as this would be left out. There must be a lot of people like me who want to work their images up in a RAW image editor or a DAM program and throw them over to AP. Please let the devs know that we're all sobbing over here! Thanks, Phil

Do you have a sense of how long that will take? Thanks!

This is so confusing for me. I did as you said, as shown. I go to Exposure and Export and try to find the bat file but, of course, it doesn't show up because it's not an EXE. Am I doing this wrong? Thanks!

No, I didn't. I uninstalled as suggested, the one update that I have that was listed and it hasn't helped. I wish this could be fixed.

No, I didn't see that that was a link rather than a screenshot. Thanks for the nudge. I love how the smiley face in your profile pic contrasts with the snarky tone of your message!

Thanks so much for the quick reply and that info. I am not sure how to uninstall or roll back like that. Is there any info that you know of that would instruct me on how to go back to a previous version of the program? Presumably I could just scroll until the publish a fix? Thanks again! Phil

Hi, on Windows 11 version 10.0.22621 build 22621 if I open any Affinity program whether beta or not and select a piece of text, hit the font dropdown and start to type a font name the program just crashes and disappears. No autobackup, nothing. This happens on both my laptops. Are others seeing this too? I can scroll through fonts but cannot type the name of the font I want. Thanks! Phil

Hi. I'm having trouble because when I choose a DAUB Blender it changes the paint brush to the smudge tool. What brush did you use in the first place? Thanks!

That's amazing but I'm not seeing how you made the mask for the face, am I missing something? Thanks!

Thanks all, I'll try this and let you know.

Thanks. I tried that. I think it's a little better. What do you think?

Hi all, I have a client who wants American football paint on his face like the attached but my efforts aren't great. Can anyone offer any suggestions? Thanks! Phil

So it does. That's crazy. Thanks!

Thanks, I see that the bottom one now works but I'm just not seeing what is different in terms of the gradient.

Hmm. I may not be understanding something. I tried to do what you said but it still does it. I'd love to understand why this happens rather than just use a workaround. Thanks for sticking with me on this. Phil Flex and Drugs and Rock and Roll2.afpub

That makes a lot of sense. I have put a single gradient on the object but you're right. If I create a new object and add a gradient then rotate the gradient goes with it. I'll attach the source file and perhaps you have some sort of insight? A workaround would be to put two objects nested inside. Thanks for your help so far! Flex and Drugs and Rock and Roll.afpub

If you look at the screenshot you'll see what I mean. Is there a way to make the fill rotate with the object? Thanks for any help! Phil PS I'm doing this in Publisher but could just to Designer. I know I could rasterise is but I'd like to keep it editable if possible.

Thank you. I took the photos. As you can tell, I am more of a photographer than a page layout person!

Thanks but how did you know it would be in Pantone Color Bridge? I don't even know how to get that far!

AHA! Pantone 287 IS 0.48,135. That MUST be it!

This is the bg image along with a sample card she sent me as an image. I wonder is RGB(0,48,135) is it. Thanks! Oh, how do I find Pantone 287? I have never understood Pantone stuff. Is it one of this list of Pantone books? I couldn't find it. Phil
