One guess is that, in Publisher, either the bitmap layer or the Picture Frame layer which contained the bitmap Layer, had an Opacity which was different to the bitmap layer in Photo – note the slight difference at the right-hand side where the grey ‘overlaps’ the image.

Are you using the same colour space (e.g. CMYK versus RGB) and colour profile in both applications? Can you share two documents, each made with a different application, in which you have placed the same image, in the same way, so we can see the difference?

I think it’s worth mentioning that Designer’s Warp Group functionality does not affect bitmaps and it was designed that way. It’s also worth mentioning that the Live Perspective functionality is also available in Designer’s Pixel Persona via the “Layer → New Live Filter Layer → Perspective” menu, so no need to swap applications.

You're welcome.

I’ve attached a short video showing some of the things you can do. Look at the Status Bar while you are using the tool (and the Help) for more information. 2024-04-26 13-56-30.mp4

Rather than the Move Tool, you might like to try the Point Transform Tool in Translate Mode (see status bar).

In case anyone is interested, attached are four videos, each showing a different (sometimes quicker) method to create the initial shape used in the OP’s video: Shape Builder (Hint: press Enter to accept the selection); Quick Grid (Hint: keep Shift held down to constraint proportions while pressing arrow keys to create duplicates); Quick Shapes (Ellipse and Polygon); Quick Shapes (two Rounded Rectangles). There will be other ways for you to find for yourself. 2024-04-25 12-42-39.mp4 2024-04-25 12-48-46.mp4 2024-04-25 12-49-29.mp4 2024-04-25 12-53-57.mp4

You’re welcome. Just out of interest, and for anyone else wanting to do the same sort of thing, which approach did you find most useful?

Welcome to the forums @Amduee These forums are for the Affinity suite of applications. Have you use any of the Affinity applications to design your web pages? The nearest you can probably get to a responsive layout with the Affinity suite is by using Constraints (in Designer only) but that probably won’t do most of what you want. While you can use the Affinity applications to design static web pages, none of them is (in my opinion) ideal for anything more complex than that. I would recommend using an application/service that was specifically designed for that sort of thing.

What is the context within which the ‘don’t ask again’ would apply? Only for this document until I close and re-open it and then start asking again? Only for this document but every time I open it? For this document and every document I open/create in this application session but go back to asking the next time I launch the application? For this document and every document I open/create from this point on, whether I have closed the application or not, until I change the setting? Or something else? Also, I’m curious as to what kind of workflow you have that deleting Artboards is such a common occurrence that this would be useful.

This thread is about global layers. Those issues you mentioned should be addressed in one or more different threads so that the discussions don’t get mixed up together.

I think a good answer would depend on which six levels of grey and which colours/tints relate to which of those levels. In the meantime, you could add a Posterise Adjustment (with 6 levels) and a Black & White Adjustment to the image/layer – see attached image.

I think the limitation is simply that encoding=’ascii’ isn’t yet supported, either partially or wholly. Serif don’t usually supply us with timelines for fixes, changes, or new functionalities: all we can do is wait and see.

It’s unlikely that this will be fixed in V1 so, while the developers can look at it to try and make sure that it doesn’t happen in V2, you are probably stuck with the problem while continuing to use V1, unless you can figure out a way to get round it happening. If you can come up with a reliably repeatable workflow that the developers can follow to replicate the problem then that might be useful for diagnostic purposes.

This is related to known issue AFD-5595 I believe: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/search/&tags=AFD-5595
