  1. For me, I had already installed the drivers for PS and had the tablet working months before I purchased the Affinity Suite and the drivers were already up to date. The challenge for me has been getting consistent performance when using the tablet and Affinity products, specifically Photo 2. It'll work as expected for 15-20 minutes, then it'll freeze, crash, or just give me the spinning pinwheel. Not sure why this is happenening, but it makes me less reliant on Affinity for truly creative work with my tablet. Not sure if others have experienced this as well. This goes beyond just downloading the drivers and following the installation instructions. There's something causing a performance hit and until i have the time (or desire) to troubleshoot, I'm going to stick to tried and true programs that are more solid with Wacom. That's not to say I won't use Affinity - actually quite the opposite. I've enjoyed exploring Publisher and have a few side projects I'm working on with Designer. But when deadlines are looming, i need reliability and less troubleshooting.
  2. @CatshillThank you. I will try that as a last resort, however I'm wanting to see if Publisher can handle it first. @Oufti Thank you. This actually printed in the correct order, however since my pages are smaller than a normal sheet folded in half, I ran into trouble with the pages being too far apart. For example folding the page in half leaves each page floating in the middle of the larger half-page area. @thomaso Thank you. These both are viable options and I was able to validate them with my simple dummy mock. I appreciate you explaining with your screenshots because it gave me a clear blueprint to follow. I'm grateful to you all for walking me through your processes. I'll print the booklet out and take a picture of it at some point so that you can see how it turned out. Thanks again for the assist. You guys rock!
  3. Hey folks - I'm having to go back to basics on booklet printing since my 16-page document isn't printing properly, and I'm trying to troubleshoot why with a simple dummy file. Take a look at the screenshot attached. I've manually done the impositioning on all 16 pages, and I want it to print front to back for the booklet that I will staple together. The problem Is illustrated in the screenshot where I'm trying to print the booklet, however it's not printing page 16 next to page 1. For some reason, it prints page 16 on one spread, then prints page 1 on another. All other spreads seem to print as expected. Why would it do this even though I've laid it out accordingly? I've tried looking in Document Setup, searched Youtube a bunch of times, and am not finding anything. I'll also attach the original Affinity Publisher 2 file so that someone can hopefully tell me what I'm doing wrong. I really (REALLY) want to leave the world of Adobe behind, but this is something I could've banged out in InDesign in no time flat. Hoping it's just some simple setting and not a bug in Affinity Publisher 2, otherwise it's back to the 800lb Gorilla for me. Let me know what you find! Thanks in advance for your help. dummy-16pages.afpub
  4. Interesting. When i was adding text on a curve, i threw down a guide to make sure it was centered, and once I added the text to the shape, the guide disappeared. I had to re-select the shape to make it appear again. I know shapes disappear when text is aligned to a path, but do guides as well? It's like the UI forgets the guide sometimes.
  5. Hey folks - I just purchased & downloaded Designer v.2 and I am noticing as I zoom in and adjust kerning on type that is placed on a path on an artboard, that when I zoom out some of the guides I created are no longer there. Not sure if this is a v2.0.0 issue or a persistent issue that has carried over from this earlier conversation. I recreated the guides and have tested them with a duplicate artboard (going back and forth a few times from one to the other). They seem to be staying right now, but what concerns me is I have no idea what I did to make them disappear, and there's no way of telling why this is happening as I'm using guides and artboards the way i've always used them in 1.0 (not to mention in Illustrator, Freehand, Inkscape, Corel, and every other illustration app for the past 20 years). If I learn anything as I'm working i'll be sure to share back. Overall consensus of 2.0 is that it's a wonderful upgrade and at 40% off the entire suite, it's totally worth it.
  6. @tom d thank you for this! it’s exactly what i was tryng to do. For some reason i either never saw the share button in the far left of the export window nor did my mental model of an export expect that i would have to choose export THEN choose a share button within the export screen. I guess i can chalk that up to years of conditioning on the desktop for how applications let you export to anywhere on your harddrive without additional hurdles. Thank you for the screenshots and the succinct explanation. This is one speedbump i hope to never have to think about again. It almost turned me off from using the tool altogether, and i want to like & support the comapny and other Adobe alternatives. Much appreciated. sincerely, Anthony
  7. Purchased Affinity photo during their recent sale and am looking for basic functionality like taking a screenshot, opening it in affinity, cropping it, then saving it back to photos so i can message it to someone. Seems simple, right? Wrong! Unless i’m mistaken, theres no easy way to accomplish this using Affinity photo for iPad. Exporting and saving to some other apps folder didnt work and creating my own folder wasnt working. Seems so simple and obvious that this would be a major user flow for easy editing. What am i missing here?? thanks in advance
  8. Looks good! I like the varied line weights, especially in the grill, hood, and windows.
  9. Hey folks – I created this illustration as a parody of a quasi-famous NY designer I recently saw. It was my first attempt with AD, and at using variable brush strokes / curves. I found the experience pretty straightforward, almost fun. I typically use illustrator for renderings like this but wanted to test out how AD worked since I had just purchased it recently. I think the only major challenge I had was that I didn't like that I couldn't use the eye-dropper on different colors to select the color. That part wasn't intuitive to me. After watching some youtube videos and some snippets on the site, I got the hang of it after a while. This is one in a series of character illustrations I'll be doing. His name is Tobison Vanderherd: Senior Design Strategist (for now anyway). I'm going to be fleshing out an entire agency based on endangered species because, after all, agencies are sort of dying out. Anyway, don't know how far I'll take it, but it's certainly fun getting familiar with the tool and experimenting. I'm eventually going to take the illustration into After Effects and try some puppeteering/ voiceover work to see how that holds up. I'll share my results if anyone's interested. Been enjoying watching what everyone has been posting and looking forward to seeing what other creations folks come up with. Thanks for your time and feedback, Anthony
