Thank you, I will try the first idea. It is a lifting problem not a driver problem. Thanks karl

Hello, I am using a Huion tablet which i am very pleased with. The only problem that I have is that, however careful I am, the cursor always jumps a little when i lift the pen from the tablet. This makes it very difficult to draw accurately. I am new to this, so does anyone have any suggestions. Could I freeze the cursor position in some way before lifting the pen? thanks karl

Since updating to Publisher 1.8.1 studio link does not work. I updated Publisher from the website, and Photo and Designer from Apple to 1.8.0 thanks karl

When ever i download a new set of assets, or brushes or gradients etc. etc. I end up installing it in each Affinity app. It would be great if i could install it once and then have it available in the other apps too. Thanks karl

Thank you, I must have been mistaken thinking I had been able to do it in Designer. Thanks for clarifying. karl

After a long time of looKing i can't find out how to set Affinity Designer to use smart quotes as i enter text. I am sure I have been able do this in the past - or am i just confusing with Affinity Publisher? thanks KARL

Yes, that was very helpful. Thank you karl

Hello, I have watched loads of videos about Affinity Photo, and I am happy that I can manage the mechanics of using Affinity to edit photos. I know how to manipulates levels, curves, vibrance etc. My problem is that i don't know when to do those things. What I mean is that, given a particular image, i do not have he experience to diagnose the problem and know how to fix it. The image is flat and muddy - but what do i do about it? What do i tweek? Where to start? Could anyone point me to a place where I can learn these kinds of editing principles, rather than the mechanics of the software? Thanks for your help karl For example, below is an image i quite like (I am only a beginner) then following it there is the way the image looks after applying soft proofing - muddy and flat. I have no idea where to start in trying to alter the image so the printing version will look something like the original. Everything I try just makes it look horrible. I am not asking for the solution to this image, it just illustrates my problem, I am just wondering where to go and learn what i need to know - or is it just trial and error? Thanks

Ok, i've worked it out. On the print dialog, set the size of the image to 100%. Then on the "Document Layout" sub panel, select "Tiled" from the "Model" pull down menu. That seems to do the trick thanks karl

Hello, I have an image much bigger than the A4 page size available on my printer. When I print the image is scaled to print on A4 but i do not want this. I want the image to print at its actual size across several pages, that i can then stick together. I have all three Affinity programs available but can't see how to so this. Thanks karl

When I apply a master page the margin does seem to be properly applied, however, this does not survive a save and reload. I have to apply the master each time i load the file if i want to keep the margins. I am using latest the version of Affinity Publisher and OSX High Sierra 10.13.6 Thanks karl

Thank you both for your replies, that is very helpful. I will certainly take a look at the video. thanks karl

Hi, When I want to move a layer into another layer, I can offer it up next to the icon of the target layer, and get a small blue vertical place marker, or, I can offer it under the new layer entry and get a long horizontal blue place marker. What is the difference ? When should I use each one? thanks karl

This is small request; could the media browser in Affinity Photo and Design be tweaked to allow it to remember the size and position of the window. thanks karl
