  1. Does this help? https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/10500-open-splash-screen-examples-not-downloading/?p=44970

     

    1) the red cross is to cancel the download; once you see it, the dowload has begun

    2) the white circle around the picture fills with blue to show you the progress of the download (see the fox picture on the screenshot)

    3) after the download is finished, click on the picture again to open it in AP

  2. Hi

    I've found that for me the mesh warp tool in many cases works better for straightening than the other options. Maybe include it if you ever update



    Two advantages:

    - you can drag your picture outside the canvas, so you won't have to crop the empty edges afterwards

    - you don't "break" the lines in buildings, for example here http://www.panoramio.com/photo/121475550

  3. Thank you, Paul, good to know, even if I have no need for it atm.

     

    I'll tell you how the result turned out - the great thing with moo is that you can order 1 card per picture to see how they turn out before ordering larger quantities.

     

     
    (Just saw https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/10949-colour-profile-not-added-or-changed, but I exported as PDF, so it's a different case.)
     

  4. Hi

    I use http://uk.moo.comto print postcards. That works very well in most cases, but not when part of my picture is black/a silhouette.

    On https://support.moo.com/hc/en-gb/sections/200572484 they write

    "We use public ICC profiles, so if you preview and save your files using the 'Coated FOGRA39' colourspace, they will not be altered by our back end processes.

    [...] 'Adobe PDF/X-1a' preset. In the 'colour' box, select 'Coated FOGRA39' from the destination dropdown."

     

    Is this Adobe specific or is there a way to do it in AP? I looked a bit at the help texts & the export persona, but didn't find the answer.

  5. Hello there

    I'm an amateur photographer from Switzerland (http://manuschwendener.ch), mainly using my pictures to make postcards.

    Switched from Nikon to Fuji some time ago and never looked back (same price range, much better sensor).

     

    Until now I only did some basic editing, just started learning how to use layers with the help of the AP video tutorials.

    Blown away by what the inpainting brush can do and looking forward to sticky settings ;)

    I would like a newbie section in this forum where I could post pictures (or a link to them) and describe what I want to achieve and somebody else would maybe tell me how they'd do it. I'm aware that there is "Questions", but I feel it would be displaced there.

     

    Glad to be on board

  6. > We already have the Tutorials section, where people can write helpful instructions as appropriate

     

    True. But while I see myself contributing small discoveries (like that the mesh warp tool worked better for a particular picture than all the straightening options) I won't write/film a full tutorial. I'd post a 'before' and an 'after' picture and describe in short how I did it. 

     

    Renaming "Tutorials" to "Tutorials and ..." instead of starting a new subforum would work just as well for me.

    I know you can't influence this because the forum is not your software, but what I would like to be able to do is this: follow a whole forum (f. ex. Tutorials), but only be notified of the first post of a new thread. Then decide for the single threads if I want to follow them, default would be No. RSS feed of new threads but not the replies would also work.
