I have an Epson P900... trying to print 7x5" prints... when I make a document that is 7x5" and then choose "Borderless, retain size" to print, the preview shows a pretty big border... which is really confusing. Is it really supposed to be like that or is it a bug? Seems to be printing borderless though. But as I don't print this that often it's annoying each time not knowing what the hell is going on... Using Publisher and I'm on macOS Big Sur latest Epson drivers as far as I know etc... Edit: in Apple's Pages the previews seem to work as expected so doesn't seem to be a driver issue... Edit 2: I see that the paper size is different when choosing the borderless option (the add 10mm to height and width), am I supposed to add bleed for the borderless option, is that the intention?

Thanks, I'll look into that!! Thanks!!!

How can I achieve something sim ilar to this in Affinity Photo? Some of the steps I can't find a way to do in AP. For example getting the texture to cover just the text etc... https://youtu.be/bqZVxz84ecg

Hey! I bought Affinity Photo and Designer via the Mac App Store. And my OCD wants me to buy Publisher from the same as the others. But my wallet wants me to get the 30% beta tester rebate, which means buying from Affinity/Serif directly. Is there anything different in functionality (other that the update process) between the two?

Really don't like the new dock icon!!! It's not hip to be square!

Hey! When I design in facing pages mode and want to export for print (as in sending it off to an offset press), is there a way to export the first and last page as a spread? If you have a picture that span from front to back, and they are printed on same paper and folded... wouldn't the printer prefer to have them that way?

Thanks!!! Now I just wish there was a key command for Show/Hide Bleed! Is it possible to cusomize key commands?

Hey! Maybe I'm missing something here, but... wouldn't it be nice if the show/hide bleed also hid the part of images etc that were outside the document edge. Just like in Designer where you don't see what's outside the document edge. and when show bleed was selected you saw both the bleed guide lines and those elements that where outside document edge. Or is this already possible?

Thanks! Had had been looking there several times and still managed to miss it! The day is saved! Cheers!

Hey! Is there any way to export as single pages even when working with facing pages?

Ok... Publisher is crashing immediately when trying to open a project I started in 1.7.0.57... Can't be bothered to start a new one at the moment... I'll come back when next update is out EDIT: probable cause is what is mentioned in post above...

Thanks! Layer effects worked but can't find the textured brushes? Maybe because it's Affinity Photo files and not JPEG/TIFF or somesuch???

Hey! How the eff do I add a simple frame around a picture in Designer??? I have a document in which I've added several images... I select one of the images go to the Stroke window and nothing happens... I've changed frame colour etc etc... but no frame appears.... What am I missing???

Hey! Trying out Publisher on a CD Booklet that will be printed using a real offset printer Some questions... it's an 8 page booklet, I've set up Publisher to work with facing pages... Problems: 1) How can I get the same picture cover both the front page and the back page seemlessly? (on the print they are next to each other and folded, in the document far apbart) 2) They want the pages exported as individual pages, but Publisher exports the spreads as single pages (but not front+cover that are truly printed next to each other then folded) 3) Is there a way to export as individual pages when working in "facing pages" 4) If I would work in "non" facing pages, how do I get an image to spread over the spreads? (there quite a few images that cover the whole spreads) 5) All the pics I have been provided are in RGB. Could I let Publisher convert them to CMYK?

I'm seeing this too!

I guess it's the edges of the document showing on second thoughts... but it's kinda annoyng to have to see them always...

Hey! Nope, doesn't go away... here's an image! It's also fairly random, sometimes it's just on 2 or 3 sides... Also it's not there when exporting to PDF...

Hey! I love the rough brush style picture frames and strokes you can easily use in Pages would be great if it was possible to use picture frames using any brush you have in Affinity Photos or if it was a big selection of those kind of frames and strokes you could choose within Publisher!

I'm seeing a light thin border around all images in a picture frame, even though the frame is set to no colour (transparent) and 0pt thickness... This is visible even when hiding all guides... kinda annoying!

Doh! Found the pen tool and that you can make it a selection!

Doh! Not being very used to work in vector applications... Crop tool is usually to crop entire dicument and not individual objects... Thanks!

Hey! Trying to mask a bunch of photos (need to make background transparent)... Been using select by colour range, magic wand etc... but because of the nature of the images, the results are not precise enough... Now I can also use the rectangular delection tool... but only for 90˚ angles... I have lots of straght lines that are in other angles... can I rotate a selection? Or is there bezier curves you can use to make a selection?

Hey! I'm trying to design an ad in Affinity Designer... I've got an TIFF image in the project... when selected it gets the blue frame around it so it can be resized etc... But is there any way to crop the image, by dragging the frame? (like in InDesign) or mask it? (like in Apple Pages). Or would that mean having to go into Affinity Photo to crop it? (I hate having to switch between apps when designing, and it would also mean an additional file littering my harddrive...) Thanks!
