If you do a lot of such green screen background shootings, some chroma key supporting software might be useful to use additionally here in companion for quick and easy mask out of a bunch of images. Like for example ... Cutout Pro (has quite good chroma key support) Topaz Mask-Ai Topaz Remask etc.

Usually the press materia @firstdefence pointed to is already meant for such purposes. - Logo vector files are usually kept by companies strictly internal, since they are treated like the RAWs in digital photography or photo negatives in analog photography as the by the corporate design paid originals. Thus it's pretty unlikely that Serif will offer the (initial) vector format designs of those.

...

When exporting EPS it depends also on the used export settings ... ... and if you maybe used some FX effects, transparency or gradients inside the doc for the logo (?), since those are usually rasterized for the EPS format.

AFAIK Affinity already offers and supports an alternative silent installation of their software, so before reinventing the wheel or spending too much time with own repackaging tryout procedures, you can ask first their customer service how to perform this. - Then with those infos you can maybe make an installment script for all Affinity apps at once, if that is your intention.

LOL, nope since I used this one instead (WordPerfect for NeXTstep) sometimes. - Though if you are still in love with that DOS WP one see here.

Windows Installer - Command line options Msiexec.exe Command Line The Silent Install options for the Windows installer (msiexec) ... and so on ... Not sure what you mean concrete here, since passing over parameters as arguments from a batch file, or a win scripting host script, or Powershell script is easily possible.

What has that to do with the apps own internal offered portable scripting support here? As far as an Affinity app would offer some well defined console-mode invocation processing, it can be used from any other OS related service, no matter if invoked/used by other OS related scripting capabilities, a dedicated scripting languages, or custom programs. - What you are instead suggesting is another more OS related and dependent access layer here. Competing implementations by webbrowser- and database engines aren't good examples for this, since they all cooked first of all their own favorite soup, standardization or not. - Better look on some other portable apps from the graphics domain, which already offer the one or other scripting capability here.

Yes WSH is a similar MS Win approach in contrast to OSA, though more used for plain OS based automation tasks (batch replacements) and so not by third party (non-MS) applications for their app automation. However, a scripting support for whatever scripting language has to be platform/OS independent here, thus it shouldn't be firmly OS coupled, in order to offer the highest compatibility between system architectures. Aka the write once run everywhere principle.

Hmm reminds me somehow to ... osascript -- execute OSA scripts (AppleScript, JavaScript, etc.)

Well I can add a plain Layer and a Pixel layer, the later can be filled via the pixel persona tools. If I want to have a vector based colored layer I use the rect tool and place a colored rect over the whole doc.

Scroll down on the Mustek website link shown above to the utilities section and see the ScanMust entry there for MacOS 10.15 Catalina.

Don't know if the Affinity apps do perform some sort of load balancing here when a chunk of files is to be loaded. - However other MacOS apps here (like PSE, GC etc.) don't behave this way, they load and arrange the files always in the initially as selected (FIFO) order.

AFAIK on Macs it opens the files ordered according to their date (newer to older) instead of file sizes. However it doesn't show them up in the initially selected order (first selected, second selected, third selected ...) here. The same happens when accessing APh from a terminal and passing over the files to open as app arguments.

Ah Ok I think I understand now what you specifically mean. - No APh isn't something I actually use or would in it's current state use for such purposes, since it doesn't offer such quick turn around image browser like photo preview/annotation/tagging features. That's more the domain of dedicated software for such purposes like image browsers, image- or photo management tools etc. Most photo cam vendors offer something initial like that, which then comes together with their cam related software and there are also common cam vendor independent software solutions for such tasks. However, some people might be erroneously assuming that APh might also offer something like the PSE bundled Organizer in functionality here, which it is lacking, even it carries the "...Photo" term in it's naming.

Not sure what you are talking about, or if you mean something else here, but once an image is loaded inside APh performing some zoom-in and out of an image is pretty fast here. So it's overall more a matter of supporting a showup and syncronisation of two loaded images side by side than anything else. Further you usually do such internal comparisons with/on already loaded images. Even the pretty old PSE version I have here does support this and I'm not talking about PSE Organizer specifics here ... screencast.mp4

For APh one would actually have to take detours and other workarounds, like running in seperated mode and arranging images side by side, though they won't zoom directly in sync here. Or placing two images side by side (or top and bottom) into an accordingly sized document etc.

I'm pretty sure I've reported these UI related things before during former beta stages, but since I can still find them in the current release versions for the german UI, this is a reminder to fix those visual glitches ... And no surprise here, Publisher suffers from the same UI control issue... The same applies to Designer ...

AFAI remember XNviewMP also offers a "Tools -> Compare..." option for from it's browser selected images, those will then zoom in sync etc.

Can't tell how it behaves on more actual MacOS versions, but since Catalina itself actually goes through a bunch of different stricter OS and framework changes, it's notthing yet I would call at this moment a quite stable stage OS release. So previous versions of third party software might all need some rework and adaption here in order work in a graceful manner. GC is a good tool with many features to work with under MacOS, in a similar fashion like IrfanView would be for Windows users here. - For simpler image management things there is also the cross platform usable XNviewMP, but this one is very restricted in it's search term usage capabilities.

Well on MacOS (OSX) a quite deep degree of PDF is internally part of the Quartz graphics layer, similar as DisplayPS was for NeXTstep/OpenStep. So it's no surprise that MacOS knows quite good to deal with PDF for preview & printing etc. Windows on the other side uses different other graphics architectures, which are not PDF based and thus things are handled different in that world.
