at 0:18 mark of that video, it shows Publisher using 10gb of ram memory, lol! Moral of the story, the more images you add, the more memory it takes. Which means that Publisher is ultimately unsuitable/unusable for large projects.

At least you can move around, but after I start changing fonts/typefaces, my application just freezes. 1.82

This happens to me as well, quite frequently, but I didn't bother posting it simply because it is too random even with the same file.

@GarryP Thank you so much for this. I really had no idea about Image Brushes hence my question. What you have accomplished there is definitely something I can use on my projects. Thank you again.

The link to the effect in question is here: Can this be done in Affinity software?

Simply pasting any text into windows notepad will make it plain and then copy/paste that text into any application will also make it plain. No need for some external programs.

Yes Mr. Farrell, it is indeed located on the network drive. Thanks for commenting, I didn't know this. But it should be noted that I have been working with Publisher since Beta on the local drive exclusively and never experienced this problem before.

This is not necessarily a bug, but it certainly doesn't work properly. I'm working on a single document consistently (very large number of layers), and as I keep adding content the more I get these errors when trying to save. Sometimes it saves with no problem, sometimes I get this error. Also, program 'freezes' when I try changing fonts on the same document. But then I realized it doesn't freeze but rather takes extraordinarily long time to process the request. I don't think this problem specifically occurs only in 1.8. It just so happened that I worked on that project with the latest release. coin_simulation.afpub

1. For some reason, the file I was working with suddenly has an Image that appears like to be missing, but is not being reported in the resource manager as missing. The paper knife on the right, is the instance of the same image but appears correctly. It exports exactly as seen in the preview.

@Jon P Have you tried using my file from above? Maybe it has something to do with already existing files. Sometimes it freezes right away (while working on that file), sometimes it takes 10~15 secs.

I have these curves that have been converted to a 'text on curve'. And when I change the color of the curve in the Text Frame panel, Publisher becomes unresponsive. 2.afpub

Hello. I think it would be useful to have a delete button on the swatches panel so that we can fast delete those that are not needed as opposed to right-clicking and then selecting delete. Also, marquee selecting more than one color and bulk delete would be great as opposed to deleting each one.

@thomaso Thank you for checking this out! So you found your way around it. Your example is definitely much more accurate in terms of what I would want to achieve. I wasn't aware of the transparency issues, I thought it doesn't matter. As soon as I removed transparency, bending dissapeared even with full color spectrum! Thank you so much for posting your findings.

Thank both very much for taking the time to investigate this! I very much apreciate this! On this link you can see what I used the image for, and please, look at the gradient and tell me if you see rings: http://www.dooreart.co.kr/shop/goods/goods_view.php?goodsno=13119&category= If you don't see the rings, then all I can say that my monitor has problems, not Affinity. My 4k file was just random copy paste the elements in question to show where the problem lies. The size doesn't seem to have any relevance with the problem, as well as file format. Everything looks the same. I will definitely look at this further. Thank you.

Thanks for the reply. I was just generalizing in my problem description, aiming potentially at those who had dealt with the same problem before, and who could have the solution. I also included the file in the attachments. In the new image you can clearly see the rings being formed instead of a smooth gradient. I didn't try with tiff and other formats, because I need .jpeg to upload to the web site. gradient test.afpub

Hello everyone. I'm currently working on a document that contains a simple 2 color gradient, that when exported looks likea "stepped" - like, edge visible gradient in .jpeg image. I tried exporting in different qualities ranging from 85~100, and in different resampling. I even turned on/off progressive from 'more' options, but the result is always the same. How do you export gradients properly?

Hello. I would like a feature that allows creating of keyframes that are in fact just layers for the purpose of creating animated gifs.

Hello, I have been playing with a software called Marmoset Hexels, and it has a feature that allows users to paint by filling grid in any mode selected - hexagonal, triangular, cubic...and even random grids can be created. So I was thinking how cool it would be to make pixel tool to change it's profile according to the isometric plane that is currently selected. Just a thought.

@PixelPest Thank you, that is exactly what I was looking for, cheers!

Hello, is it possible to paint whole cubes of guides like pixel painting but in isometric view? Can pixel tool be shifted, change shape? And another question for AD, once I fit object to plane in isometric view, how do I unfit it back? Thank you

I'm having two files. One is regular image and other is a black/white version of it. I want to use the white area as visible and black as invisible. Is there a was to do this? I attached files for your reference. Regular mask is doing it, white brush reveals the masked image and black hides it. But I don't know how use my image as a mask.

Like Mr. Walt said, you could simply do it in Publisher. But now this begs the question, what's the point of having 3 apps if they could simple merge them in one? I mean they have been essentialy merged into one with Publisher. Is there a reason for us to open other apps beside Publisher?

I can't see any ptoblem with editing Photo file within Publisher. When double clicked, Photo file opens in a new window with all layers 100% preserved and editable like you can see in the attached file. But you wrongly assumed that Photo persona will open your Photo file. It can't because it doesn't do that. Personas simply allow you to have access to Designer and Photo workflow while working in Publisher. When you place/import your Photo file into Publisher, currently opened file is still Publisher file, not Photo file. The only way to edit placed file, is to double click on it like instructed by Serif.

Hello. Right now, awesome live filters available in Photo are not fully compatible with layereffects. I demonstrated in the attached file with 'perspective live filter' active on bevel/emboss layer effect. Moreover, perspective live filter won't work correctly with grouped layers.

That is definitely some sort of "blend" tool that is not yet available in Designer I'm afraid.
