I tried it again this morning and everything works perfectly. I have no idea what caused the problem but as it has gone there's no way of trying to trace it. Thanks for your time.

My R7 CR3 files have been opening ok in Affinity Photo 2 until I downloaded a Windows fix. In Windows folders the jpegs displayed an image icon but the CR3s just had the Affinity icon. Yesterday when viewing the jpegs in Windows I passed over a CR3 and a popup invited me to download a viewing fix from the Windows store. It downloaded and installed itself and the CR3s now show image icons. However I cannot open properties in Windows and the files won't load into Affinity. Any ideas?

Many thanks, I thought I'd missed a ticked box in a sub menu somewhere. I've reported it as a bug.

I am trying to print an A4 greetings card folded to A5. The setup looks just the same as for Publisher 1 until I try to print pages 1 and 4 (front and back) separately from pages 2 and 3 (inside). I need to do this as one side of the card is matt photo and the other plain card. I want to print all of one side, let them dry, then print the other side in large batches. As soon as I specify page ranges one half of the image disappears. I've attached images which show the problem. I'm using Windows 10. Colin Hubbard

Yes, exactly that; turned on even though I have yet to use baseline grid! Many thanks

I have set up an Affinity Publisher template for submitting to Blurb for printing. The text is mostly set to 'Body' style which I have set up linked to 'Base'. The font I'm using needs a slightly larger leading than the font size. I've attached images that show my text styles set up for 'Base' and 'Body' and the effect on one of the spreads. With 12pt text and 12pt leading the text is a bit too bunched. Changing the leading to 12.5pt results in a leading equivalent of something like 16 or 18. It's the same problem if I change the fonts. There is a single master page which has no text boxes other than page numbers. Something appears to be overriding the styles but I can't see what. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Yes, ANON2 has given the link

I have followed Charlotte T-Ms Spotlight tutorial on use of watercolour brushes but I cannot emulate her digital landscape example. Each layer of mountains has a sharp upper edge and the colour wash fades away from that. The next layer appears to be unaffected by the layer below whereas my attempts show a dark area where colours overlap. Is there a tutorial somewhere where which shows how Charlotte's technique is applied? Thanks in advance

For anybody else with the same problem this did the trick: In the search box on the taskbar, type settings, then choose it from the list of results. Select System > Storage > This PC and then scroll down the list and choose Temporary files. Under Remove temporary files, select the Previous version of Windows check box and then choose Remove files. It takes a long time for 'Temporary Files' to list everything that can be safely deleted so don't think it's not working when nothing appears to happen.

Thanks. I saw that message and checked the C drive. I've just had a big Windows 10 update and there's a folder called 'Windows Old' which takes 20mb. Can I simply delete this?

Thanks but still fails

Affinity Publisher 1.8 setup fails on Windows 10 desktop

Many thanks!

Where have my image brushes gone to? The category seems to have disappeared.

I have installed Topaz and Akvis plugins via the Affinity preferences screen. I know they'll only work at the moment in 8 bit but the individual plugins are greyed out if I try to use them on a tiff file. They're ok with jpegs but all my raw conversions are saved as tiffs. Also portrait images from my I-Pad open in the plugins as landscape; i.e. they are rotated by 90 degrees. All of the above work perfectly in Photoplus X8

I've linked my Akvis and Topaz folders to the Affinity plugins menu. They all show but are greyed out in both 8 and 16 bit mode. Without these the product has no use for me. Have I done something wrong or is the facility a later release?
