thanks after the use of edit content directly the size of the image related the the picture Frame gets lost. So increasing the size of the picture frame doesnt scale up the image it just shows the formerly hidden parts of the image. Is there a way around?

I have the same use case like Steps - I also want to create a Photobook with Publisher. By the way: Is there a opportunity to keep my own pictures in the studio. The place image tools shows my selected images but only until i use another tool. The stock "visual" does this for stock photos.

whats about serif carft artist 2, has someone experience how the pictures are embedded (by reference to the picture in the filesystem)? Whats about resizing the images there?

lightroom phot books are great as far as you don´t wan´t your own layout. Adding a photo (cell) or remove one isn´t possible in the given design. In the print module you can´t specify the image section if you don´t use the image origianl aspect ratio. So you´re somehow locked to the given layouts. The import by reference is no show stopper for me, but the losless resizing. Is it possible in affinity Photo?

by now i used the programms from print-service when i created my own photo books. In order to to get rif of the dependency print-service - programm i am looking for a stand alone programm for creating die pages and let them print where i want. I wonder if this can solely be achieved with affinity photo or if you would recommend to use affinity designer. Key features are following: The images should be "imported" by links respectively it should only be referenced - so if i change the image in Lightroom and export it to the same folder with the same name it should change in the software. i need to resize the photos at every state - in the photoshop world this can be done with smart objects (as far as i know). Is there a feature in affinity like this? do you have recommendations how to create your own photo book with affinity tools?
