  1. I usually begin the books at page 3 (the cover are 1 & 2), and it would be helpfull to have the correct numbers like it is said in this case.
  2. The principle is to paste your texte and have everything formatted in a blink, adding extra chracater or selecting the word to add bold or whatever take nearly the same amount of time. And adding extra invisible characters can be a problem later when needing to search text in a document or pasting in another application, for example.
  3. It depend of your settings in ID. I use the same settings (colour profile, for example), in APub and ID if I need to import a PDF made with APub in ID.
  4. Hi, It would be usefull to get an option that exclude the end characters in the propriety Initials word of a text style. For example for this : Word, blabla bla Word (comment) Some more words (comment) I dont wan't the comma or the parenthesis to be bold when they are in the end characters.
  5. Hi, My steps : usually checking files send by clients, grumbling when they send facebook-portrait… trying to insist to get better pic… If Epic fail: Right-click > open in Photo Convert colour profile Ctrl+i > select higher resolution + resample checked If possible, try some filters to add sharpness and correct colours Export with "2" or "v2" suffixe. Update in ID while looking at final PPP. Usually, it's ok, or it's worste and I need to enlarge more… if I miscalculated It's the sort of process you do sometimes ten in a row with some clients… you don't think about it. It happened few times when the exported image kept the same resolution. At first when it was a bug while checking "keep metadata" lon ago, and at least twice while working at home (where I keep a browser tab on the forum), at work, it happened but it was not time to report and I usually do it with FastStoneViewer in a click.
  6. Bump! Please, add this to the bug list, I don't understand why it's not corrected.
  7. Bonjour Alain, Non, ce n'est pas possible il faut passer par d'autres logiciels ou sites pour vectoriser des images.
  8. First, when trying to display a mask with a selection in the Photo persona,the selection is displayed on the wrong page (or out of the page, since this one is the 1st page there's not other one left or right). Second, as you can notice, each time we use a mask of a adjustement layer, it only take in account the visible part of the Picture frame. That's a problem since the bleed should be taken in account, or when exported for pring, we'll have different colours for the plain page and the bleed! It suppose we won't move the picture in this frame… But if the client want the picture to be move, we'll have to reselect, etc. and redo all the mask or adjustement to fit the new area. Perhaps it would be better if we could work on the whole picture when in the Photo persona. APub persona 's got difficulties too displaying a mask:
  9. That's not about setting but common files like profiles and, export settings (presets) for PDF, that are some sort of profiles depending of printer's specifications. There should be a minimum compatibility between those, for not needing to enter again values and save again the presets. Not my best day, having to search workaround for bugs in APub, reinstalling profiles and recreating presets in the regular apps…
  10. If you want your image to be animated, you'll have to create a gif (most common type of file for this). If not, just add your GIF on top of another image and save it. And, if you read my eplanation, you learnt how to retrieve layers from a GIF when opening it with Gimp.
  11. Bump! Again. At least the apps should remember the last setting, or display in alphabetical order (All pages/Toutes les pages would be first).
  12. A common folder for profiles and export presets could be usefull (3 regulars apps + 3 bêta…)
  13. Hi, I usually convert images to eciRGB v2, but this profile only appears in the list if I have another file using it. Can new profiles be added automatically to the list or can we have a button to add/save it for other files? It would be usefull to be able to save them easily without needing to export them from another app and install them.
  14. It depends. Usually opacity is part of the object (frame, text, background, border, etc.), and you can attribute a swatch with a fill option from 0 to 100% of this colour (pure 100% or less % on white backgroung) that is different from opacity (pure colour 100% to transparency). For example in ID, you've got the Effect panels to manage opacity and modes for those different objects. The colour and its fill setting is always selected in the swatch panel. In Affinity apps, if the Tint is part of the selected swatch or the selected colour, it should be in the same panel, with the opacity slider, not on a different view. The way it is, it looks like an object parameter instead of a colour/swatch parameter. (Please, no carrousel for opacity/noise/tint! We need the option to see them all at once.) As it is, trying to use colour for the text frame object background, as I like (an all in one object with all proprieties set once), is difficult. It's easier to have separate items (text frame for text + object for background), so you can easily dupplicate the background to keep as reference for values when needing to test/use another swatch. This is a problem since you can't have a proper object style retaining those proprieties, you need more objects and more styles (even if for now the object styles are really lacking usabilities: you can save them but not modify them when needed). Swatches, colours and gradients.
  15. It already happened few monthes ago (december). I needed to resize (enlarge) an image. I did it a small amount each time, and used a sharpen live filter. When using the export persona, it didn't exported at the final size, but I suppose one of the first enlarged size. I closed and restarted AP, and again, it's not able to export at the final size in the Export persona, only if I use the general Export command. I always keep the metadata with the files, since I need to automatically insert copyrights from them, but it don't seems to make a difference. Enlarge size in the Photo persona: Size in the Export persona: Exports: Clients sending Facebook icons instead of real portraits is enough of a pain without adding such bugs!
  16. The same as we do with ID or other type of files for different reasons. The important trick is to keep a visual (PDF or image, depending of the file) to check each the final result once open in an earlier version of an app. And yes, that's better than loosing hours of work. It goes with the "save often, use backup, etc." litany. We're used to this, but it happens that I finish working on a file and realize that it's the 1st save I do! I learn a good lesson from this too: you do it faster—but not happier—the second time!
  17. There's a problem with the adjustement layers and the (at least) blur effect.
  18. Playing with the blur effects and the Exposure adjustement give no consistent results (at first, I had no sky or half the bottom white part of it after moving the sliders).
  19. Here (win7), moving the blur sliders only add a white bg, but dont restore the sky.
  20. It seems the exposure adjustement can't work out of thin air, without being applied to an image or a group. If I group the layers composing the sky and apply the Exposure adjustement to this group, it's fine.
  21. Did you tried switching on/off some layers? I had to do this to refresh the image in the previous version.
  22. Depending of what you want to do with such map, spend some time deleting unwanted parts of the map. Used as PDF for example, it can be huge and slow down another app… or make it crash too or unable to produce final PDF!
  23. Sorry, but in QXD and in ID, the fill (and not tint) and the opacity (of object/text/background) stay when you select another swatch. It's really usefull and that's something you don't notice until it's not in the app you're using. Unless you save a Tint in the swatch panel — and this way, it's linked to a specific swatch —, you should be able to select another swatch and have the same tint and opacity values (or use a modifier key to reset those values to default 100%).
