Many thanks! You have solved the issue for Designer and ImageJ -- when I export without compression, I do just fine. For grins, I tried exporting from affinity photo to tiff and see the same issue I had had before with designer, with or without compression. Any ideas

I am trying to submit a paper to a Rockefeller Press Journal. We collect .tif images using a CCD camera, crop and adjust grey levels in affinity photo, place them on an artboard in designer where we label them. When I try to use export to .tif from Designer the .tif file can be successfully opened by mac "preview", but is corrupted when I try to open it with NIH's imageJ (which my collaborators use and like to view images). I suspect that when the Rockefeller Press journal tries to open these .tif figures they will be corrupt. Aren't all .tif files just that? Why would one program successfully open whilst another does not? Is there a fix? Thanks, D

I constructed a beautiful looking multi-micrograph panel in affinity designer after manipulating raw tiff images in affinity photo. The panel looks fine and is attached A screen shot looks find and is attached When I export to pdf in order to submit to a journal, dark shadows appear over parts of the figure. I tried copying each panel into a new designer document but that didn't work. I figure there is some bizarre setting i've toggled on for some of the panels?
