(Windows 10 Affinity Photo) Hi, when I click on File > New, a window pops up which has Print Templates available. I have created a new document size and now want to save it, so that it appears in that list of templates. Could someone please tell me where I need to place my newly created template, in order for it to appear in the templates window when creating a new document? Thank you all in advance.

Hi, I have a few suggestions, which would be useful, and hopefully not too hard to create for the desktop versions: 1) A small panel like the " Creative Do - Doco" panel would be great, to easily swap and view different open files, without having to use tabs etc. 2) Ability to drag a panel to the bottom of the screen and use it horizontally, especially handy for users with large screens, where the vertical space is often wasted. 3) Ability to dock the tools panel on the right-hand side, snapped to other panels etc. 4) Ability to import multiple LUTs simultaneously, as opposed to loading hundreds in one-by-one, which is practically impossible. 5) A button on the top right side of each uppermost panel, which collapses that entire column of panels into a small narrow column of panels, with just small square Icons representing each panel, which when clicked on, expand the panel again - similar to Photoshop. 6) Actual dockable panels for grids, and also for guides. I know they can be accessed from the menu, but would be nice to have them as panels, just like all the others. 7) A dockable Filters panel, and a dockable plugins panel.

Thanks Walt - Im using a mouse, but not getting the context menu?

Hi, I imported numerous macros into the library panel, but have 1 of them which I wish to delete. I tried to right click on the macro, but no context menu appears. Could someone please tell me in which directory they are stored, so that I can manually delete it in the explorer window? Thank you a;ll in advance

Thank you all so much, especially @firstdefence - your solution worked perfectly for FilterForge 7 Pro.

Sorry, on Windows 10 Also, when I click on Filters > Plugins, absolutely nothing happens??

Has anyone got filter forge to appear in the Affinity Photo plugins list? I installed filter forge before before I installed Affinity Photo, so now do not know how to get it to appear. Thank you all in advance

UPDATE - no worries, I found some info Could someone please point me to where I can find information regarding "assets"? Thank you in advance.

Thank you for putting the time and effort in to convert these gradient maps. Much appreciated.

@Kagelb - the site is working perfectly. Not sure why you think it is a dead site?

I recommend the courses from 7thseasonstudios.com Jeremy explains things fully, with no repetitiveness, and straight to the point. Hope that helped

Thanks Mike. It is always interesting and helpful to get other experienced people to provide their understanding on certain issues. Im the kind of person who likes to know exact details of how things work, in order to better understand them Thank you.

Hi Mike, So my understanding is basically correct? In that case, if the commercial printing press is set to print at 300 dpi and the image sent to them is set to 1500, then the image should still print out at the correct size and quality, hence making the dpi setting irrelevant in this particular case, even if it was set to 72.

Hi everyone. I have a technical question for any commercial printers, or someone who has genuine first-hand knowledge of the printing process. Firstly, let me say that this question is exclusively aimed at dpi and printing, and NOT aimed at ppi and screen display. Ok, so my question is - when you create a new image file, and initially set the dpi to 300, what does this dpi setting actually do to the file? Does it set some kind of hidden meta-tag, and if so what could that meta-tag possibly do that would benefit the quality??? The reason I am asking is that in theory, the dpi setting should be TOTALLY irrelevant, providing that the image is created at the correct size. Let me give an example. Suppose I wanted an image printed out at 5 inches by 5 inches. If the commercial printer has told me that they need a 300 dpi image file, then in theory, as long as I create my image at 1500 by 1500, the image should print out at that size. (1500 divided by 300 = 5). If I created the image with smaller dimensions, say 750 by 750, then it would obviously end up 2.5 inches by 2.5 inches (750 divided by 300 =2.5). Therefore I would like to know the technical process of what the dpi setting does to the actual file itself, and what possible benefit it could offer. The only reason I can see to use the dpi setting, is if you do not enter pixel dimensions when initially creating the file, and instead set the inch settings. That way you would obviously need to set the dpi setting, in order for the image editing application to multiply the inches size you set, by the dpi you set, in order for it to work out the required number of pixels to create the canvas at. Thank you all in advance.

Hmm, didn’t think it was that large? Thanks.

Could someone please advise me what size the cover photo for my profile on these forums needs to be. Thank you all in advance.

Is there some kind of trace feature in AD, whereby I can import a jpg for example, and then inside AD, convert it into a vector? Thank you all in advance.

Even when someone says the resources are free, it’s still ambiguous with regards to commercial projects for financial gain.

I agree, but most people offering resources never mention commercial licensing terms explicitly, that’s the problem.

Why? Only 2 sections, and at least that way, people like myself and other designers would know if they can use them or not. I never ever use any resources from here due to not knowing the licensing terms.

Obviously not iPad version compatible

Thanks gdenby, not sure why it gives us no option, but I guess that’s just the way it is. I went back to my usual app and did it in about 20 seconds Such a shame, as I really want to use AD as my main app. Thanks for the advice everyone.

Reglico, why does that not work? It sounds like it should in theory, but I haven’t tried yet. What result does it give you then?

Thanks @John Rostron, I will give that a try. Just noticed you’re in Essex, me too
