Hi Paolo,
I've just tested this with an image i had saved as a PDF and as you can see from my attached screenshot everything appears fine in the print preview.
Any chance you could attach the PDF you are using or send me a download link, so i can see what results i get.

Whoops, Seems Leigh can type quicker than i can :)

Hi Saltonsee and Welcome to the Affinity Forums,
Please see the attached screenshot. The History panel is in the lower right corner of both Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer.

Hi Rjan,
It is something that will be added at a later date.
But please take a read of this thread It has some tips on the using current selection tools and making them act like a Polygon Selection tool

Hi CRogerTill and Welcome to the Affinity Forums,
At the moment we don't have an option to set a drawing scale.
However, you may find some tips on this link The user MaxClass has explained how he created his floor plan using Affinity Designer and also included a sample file.

Hi Gear Maker,
Thanks for your screen recording.
I've logged this for the Dev team to take a look at, as I wouldn't expect the blank canvases/windows to be left behind.
I'll also get the issue with the zoom level and position logged as well.

Hi LilleG,
When you say no change, didn't the reset clear all of your custom settings?
The crash is definitely a Mountain Lion issue, please see my reply to the other thread about opening NEF files.
-
Hi LillieG,
Just had Lee test this on his Virtual Machine of Mountain Lion and he also got the crash.
I'll wait until the RC1 is released later today and get him to retest it, if we still get the crash, then i'll get it logged with our Dev team.

Hi LillieG,
Thanks for getting back to me. I've just tested opening a sample D90 NEF file i found online and it's opened up just fine (see attached screenshot).
I am running the latest build of Yosemite but will get someone to test this in Mountain Lion and see if we get the same results.

Hi LilleG,
While i'm not sure on the exact location of the Preferences, if you hold down the Ctrl key and start Affinity Photo you will get options to clear all of the current settings. I would make sure to select everything and then click on the Clear button. This will put Affinity Photo back into its default state.

Hi LilleG,
As all RAW files tend to be slightly different between camera versions, what model Nikon are you using and i'll do a quick test with a sample file and see if the same happens in the current beta.

Hi Gear Maker,
Please see my attached screen recording.
When i switch to AP and then back to AD the canvas setup is the same and the image is in the same position each time. Could you send me a screen recording of what you get, as it sounds like you are having different results to myself.
I do however get left with a blank canvas in both programs. I think this is due to the image being 'closed' in one program and passed to the other. If you disable Separated mode in say AP, when you switch back to AD the image is closed in AP and this results in a blank canvas, as we have closed the image in order to pass it to AD. If you then open a new image in AP you should find the blank canvas is replaced with the image you have opened.

Hi Smokie1019,

Hello Everyone,
Thought i should introduce myself. My first name is Gareth, I've worked for Serif in the Tech Support department for just over 6 years now, supporting the Plus range. Have a keen interest in photography and can be found most weekends wandering the streets of Nottingham with my camera documenting the large legal graffiti/street art scene we have locally.
Have been a Mac user for just over a year now and i am really excited about the whole Affinity Range of software. I personally spend more time in Affinity Photo than Designer, but that's more to do with my lack of artistic ability than anything :)
Thanks and hope you all have a great weekend :)

Great news AmandaQB :)
Did the restart also sort out the colour picker issue as well?
-
Hi AmandaQB,
Nope there isn't a trick to making them go away, they should just disappear once you have selected a colour from the image.
Due to this issue and the other one with painting on the new layer, could you try resetting the program. This will clear any customization you have set up within the program but should resolve the issue. To do the reset, exit Affinity Photo and now hold down the CTRL key on the keyboard and click on the Icon for Affinity Photo and select Open. You get shown a screen asking if you want to clear your current settings, please select all and then click on Clear.
-
Hi AmandaQB,
The 1st background layer is locked, which is why creating a duplicate of it lets you paint on the duplicated layer, as this copy isn't locked. But having said that, i am surprised you can't paint onto the new pixel layer, as i've carried out the same steps as yourself and can paint onto the new layer (see attached screenshot and my lovely green line). The only difference is i'm not using a tablet, but that shouldn't really cause this kind of issue.
Could you check the Opacity of the brush you are using and make sure its not set to Zero as thats the only way i can replicate the same issue.

Hi Evtonic3,
Is this when using the Frame text or the Artistic text tool?
Once you have typed some text out, what happens if you then select the text and try to use the Font drop down to change the font?
I've just tested this with both text tools and everything has worked as expected.
-
Incidentally, this file doesn't open for me in either Sketch 2 or 3 - it just crashes, so I don't know how you got it to open, Gareth ;)
Hi Matt,
I did have it open in Sketch 3, Leigh is my witness to that :) However, just tried now to reopen it and got a crash....
Cheers for the heads up on the PDF work around, I'll remember that for future issues.

Hi Squeakyboo and welcome to the forums.
I've just had to log this for the Dev team to take a look at, not only is it losing colour but also something has happened to one of the curved lines as well.
If one of the Dev guys doesn't update here, i will be sure to once we know more about what is happening.
I've also edited your post and removed the files, seeing as the EPS file is paid-for content from ShutterStock.

Hi Keithrt,
Have you tried settings the Font UI to Large under Preferences?
Also lowering the UI Gamma may make the inactive labels stand out a little more.

Hi iMac1943,
This topic has been covered a lot on these forums. at the moment we don't have an auto trace feature, this could well change further down the line.
I know some users are doing the trace in say Inkscape and then bringing this into Affinity Designer. If you do a search of the forums you should find all the topics covering this and also people's different recommendations for auto tracing software.

Hi Dannyj, Welcome to the forums.
If you add the Mask Layer and apply your 1st gradient fade, once this has been done, use the Selection Brush to select the 2nd part of the image you want to fade and now use the gradient tool within the selection.
There could be other ways to do this all so, but this is the only method i have found for now that works. I'm sure someone else will come along and post if there are other ways of doing this :) Hope this helps for now
Unchanging length of a line

Hi Jackamus,
I believe this has been covered here
Even tho Ash is talking about keeping the angle of the line, the same principle would apply to changing the shape and not the length of the line. We just need the option for a Constrained line, which we currently don't have, not that i could find anyway.
