GryphonArt

Thanks Thomaso... she hasn't formatted the images to 300dpi - I need to advise her to do that, correct? these images come in from different club members, all sorts of sizes and formats.

Thanks Alfred - even if the files are reduced by 50% as some are?

Hello all - hope I'm putting this in the right place... I need some advice please on helping a newbie. I’m a retired Graphic Designer and moved from Adobe to Affinity several years ago. I’ve recently handed over a club newsletter (an A4 size, 56-60 page, full colour publication with lots of images) to a first time Affinity user and I’m trying to help her get this next issue out. It is digitally printing at a full service printing company Because I’m old school print background my training was always to convert the images to cmyk and to place the images as 300dpi (or 266 or 144 at least depending on availability) PDF files AND at same size (100%). The test file she has sent me to check has the images as however she received them (jpegs, aphoto) and she has sized them in Publisher not placed them as same size/100%. I've recently discovered that the images do not need to be converted to cmyk (the printer we use told me) so thats fine… BUT is the printer going to have issues with the images placed as diffident formats and sizing being done after being placed? I look forward to advice on this. TIA.

Thanks Lacerto. I'm going to send to the printer with the mix and see what they come back with. I've also encountered the problem where Affinity Photo will not convert some images from rgb to cmyk after I've done my colour correction and placed the image, so I'm getting VERY frustrated. I've seen others have this issue too.

Well that's an eye-opener for an old print person. As I have just read this half way through checking that all my images in my newsletter are cmyk... is having half rgb and half cmyk going to confuse matters?

OMGosh - THANK YOU. Thank you. thank you- that's exactly what I had done - I had unchecked it. Love you "NotMyFault"

double checking this when I convert thru Document > Convert Format/ ICC Profile it just doesn't do to.

Hello all - need some more help. Affinity Photo 2.2 - suddenly some rgb images wont convert to cmyk when I export as a PDF? In fact some won't convert if I try to change them via Document > Convert Format/ ICC Profile… I have to go back to the original file and start all over by changing via the ICC profile, then they will export when saving as a cmyk pdf for print. This never used to be the case. It’s become long-winded as all colour correction is lost. Have I clicked something in error? Please help - I have a newsletter which I am now painstakingly having to redo all the images:-(

Thought I had responded to this already - sorry. Thanks for responding MikeTO. The images are linked and the Resource Manager marks them as "OK". I have deleted some before as I thought I had done something wrong - did one again as you suggested and it replaced fine. Closed out, rebooted and still looked fine. Then I thought I'd try exporting to a PDF because previously the PDF reproduced okay. But the preflight came up and had the images are not pamtabale with the PDF export version... the Fix seems to have fixed them!

Since the upgrade to affinity publisher 2.2 the majority of my images (placed pdf files) not viewing properly.from reading the forum I’ve set the display to Open GL and unchecked the Hardware Acceleration Enable Metal. What has changed and how do I get it back? It also seems to be crashing a lot - or rather “Not Responding”. I'm on a Mac Mini, 32 GB, MacOS Ventura 13.5.2 Screenshot 2023-10-20 at 14.29.38 (2).pdf

Thank-you

And disappeared again!

oh and now its returned?

I'm having problems too... the text shows but not the text box - started off okay but getting worse
