Hello, with grid settings I have this problem: Whenever I open a photo in AP, the grid is set as shown in the picture »Grid settings 1.jpg«. Every time I want to add a perspective live filter to an image, I have to open the grid settings to set the configuration like in the picture "Grid settings 2.jpg" to see the grid. Otherwise I have to zoom in a lot until the automatic grid ist shown. The I loose the overview to adjust the perspective live filter. Is there a way to make the settings shown in "Grid settings 2.jpg" image the default for all images?

I use Photo 2 on Windows. Show grid is activated (checkmark in "Show Grid" is set - in my German user interface Ansicht...Raster einblenden). It's not about defining a grid or activating it, it's about making a defined grid the default for all files, to be able to show and hide it after opening a file with View...Show Grid (Ctrl+').

In my first picture (Pic1.jpg) you can see that no grid is defined. Even if I zoom in so far that the individual pixels on my screen are 10 x 10 cm, no grid appears. How can I make the grid as defined in my second image (Pic2.jpg) the default for all newly opened images?

Hello, I had the same problem that the Grid could not be made visible (View...Show Grid / Strg+'). But that wasn't the mistake. The grid just wasn't defined. As soon as you select a grid type, it will also be displayed. The real problem is that the selection is not permanent. With each new photo you have to go back to View...Grids and Axes and choose a preset. After that, the grid is visible when you activate it (View...Show Grid / Strg+'). Is there a way to make one of the presets the default so that it can be made visible or invisible in every image by toggling it on or off?

Thanks Jon P for your answer, unfortunately I can't make a video because suddenly the error doesn't appear anymore. I no longer have (probably deleted) the file in which it appeared. As soon as I encounter the problem again, I'll make a video and post it here.

When moving bodytext layers, it is hardly possible to move them to a new position in the layer palette. They almost always become child layers of the bodytext layer above or below the new position. The function of making a body text frame the child level of another body text frame shouldn't be used relatively seldom, right? The error does not occur on layers between other layers. I only noticed it negatively with bodytext leyers. Using shapes and rearranging them works fine.

Hello, yeah!!! In Version 2 of Publisher it works!! Thank you serif! Rainer

Mankind dives to the deepest points of the sea and flies to the moon, but fails to access an existing but hidden feature in Affinity Designer... very strange...

Hello joe_l, in the video within your link isn't descripted how to use numbering across Textframes. Not at 2 min and not in the whole video...

Why isn't layer selection by color STILL not been implemented? I often use this function in Designer. In designer i make a right-click on one of the layer an klick select by layer color (2 clicks). In publisher I have to select a layer, change persona, click on select-menue, click on select same, click on select by layer color, change persona to edit f. e. the textframe fill color (not available in designer...) (6 Clicks)

Thank you for your help. The solution was "wet edges" ("nasse Kante")

Hello, in Photo, when I paint in white on an inverted (completely black) mask using the Brush tool, the image does not fully appear in the painted area. The background shines through. As I brush over the same area multiple times, the opacity gets higher and higher. I'm sure I just picked a wrong setting, but I can't figure out which one. Maybe the screenshot will make it clear what I did wrong. Thanks for the help in advance. Best regards Rainer

Hello, thank you for your Answers. I have all Affinity-Programms installed but why shall I switch the Persona to use the selection by Layer-Color???? That's very boring. If I for example give ah cupple of Textframes the same LAyer color I cam later select them all by this layer color to change settings like the border or fill color. In designer i make a right-click on one of the layer an klick select by layer color (2 clicks). In publisher I have to select a layer, change persona, click on select-menue, click on select same, click on select by layer color, change persona to edit f. e. the textframe fill color (not available in designer...)

Tahnk you Walt, it's not your fault. My description was not exact enough. The selection by same color isn't available in publisher for windows or I haven't found it yet.

Hello Walt, what is the meaning behind such a philosophy? I think that was simply overlooked. I assume that most people who buy Publishers also buy Designer and Photo. Only photo may be acquired alone. And maybe designers. But if you buy a publisher, don't you buy everything at once? Rainer PS: And by the way: Selecting the same Layer-Color does not work in the Desigener-Persons in Publisher. Not on Windows. An there is one member who says in Publisher vor AppleMac selecting same Color works in Publisher...
