Hi @DanielaD and welcome to the forums. Have you activated the left studio?

There is no training program for this toolkit here. Perhaps the website of the content creator will help you. https://academy.aureliemaron.com/lettering-lounge

However, this does not work with multi-line, sorry, multi-column text!

These languages lack the option of writing from top to bottom.

I don't think there will be fully-fledged web apps. But it will certainly incorporate some of the rudimentary functions of the Affinity Suite. And as far as Linux (Wine) support is concerned, I wouldn't get my hopes up for the time being. There are enough development priorities that have priority here. Above all, the stability of the programs, RTL and CJK support (with possible extended localization), to name some. However, the development roadmap may be different!

I don't see why we need an extra forum section for questions and problems with typesetting. The forum area we are currently in is perfectly suited for this. If you have questions or problems on the iPad, there is also a forum area for this.

Und ich als altes Bleisatzkind habe gelernt, nie mehr als 3 verschiedene Schriftarten zu verwenden. And as an old lead typesetter child, I have learned never to use more than 3 different fonts.

I also taught myself everything! I'm a semi-professional layman, so to speak.

Oh, that is indeed a major obstacle with the amount of data that is generated nowadays.

You could compress the files to .7z, .zip or .rar.

Hi @Wrap up Web and welcome to the forums. Make sure that the GPU drivers and Windows are up-to-date. If this is the case, hold down the CTRL key while you start Affinity Designer A selection box for resetting various settings will now appear. In addition to the options already selected, check the Disable Hardware Acceleration box. Click on Clear.

Why didn't you export the file to a pixel format? Not every user here has version 2.x to look at it! To me it looks a bit like a book cover for a 1980's textbook for designers, which is not a bad thing, simple is often more.

This thread is over a year old. Please remove the serials!

There is no reason to belittle yourself. Nobody is an idiot! We all learn, and if things go well, we learn until our last breath.

I also wish you all a happy Easter, despite and precisely because of all the excitement about the takeover.

Open the Designer file in Publisher, use the Textframe Studio Panel to remove the fill. After that go to menu file and choose Edit in Designer.

You are welcome!

And that's exactly why Canva made a deal with Serif. With Serif's expertise, Canva also wants to win over professional designers. If you have little experience in an area, it's easiest to buy this experience rather than spend a lot of time developing it yourself.

The reason is simple. The V1 was unlocked with a serial number, which was like an invitation to a free banquet for pirates. Online verification made it more difficult for pirates to use the software without a valid license.

If Canva actually implements its 4-point plan as announced, the acquisition could be a win-win for everyone. I am thinking here of the users who would like to use the Affinity programs on Linux or on an Android tablet. And those who would like to work in a team on the same project. All this and much more could be realized through the merger. Canva may not have the best reputation, but they can ensure that their popularity increases with a smart approach. A smart approach would include offering stand-alone apps at a fair price so that people on low incomes can afford them too. Time will tell what will become of the award-winning software. Until then, it's a case of wait and see.

There are no stupid questions! Version 1 and version 2 are installed in separate program directories and can therefore be used side by side. The biggest disadvantage here is that you have to install assets and brushes twice, as both versions access different base directories.

Look at it from a positive point of view. Functions that are missing in the Affinity programs could now be developed faster! Sure, there will be changes, many positive, some negative. I sincerely hope that the Affinity programs will not come as a subscription model and that new functions will not be offered as "pay-to-win" options.
