[Expand Stroke on Text Missing Sections]

Hi @2amrose

Please set in the stroke settings align to outside before use Expand stroke.

[Color fill bug and crash]

Hi @Ryuuga

Maybe installing the latest version 4.8.1 of MS NET Framework will help.

[Affinity Designer 2 Trial - Crashing often!]

Can you please tell more about your hardware and OS?

[Disgusting pricing]

Maybe you haven't noticed, but there is a global recession. And even Serif is not immune to high energy costs and the staff also want to pay for housing and food.

And no one is forcing you to continue using version 1 programmes. It's just that these versions will remain at the tech level they are at now.
So if you have problems with pricing, I recommend you switch to Adobe or Corel. Oh no, they also charge inflated prices, according to your speech. Then go for Paint.NET, Krita and Co.

Hi @SteveWarren

Have you tried printing from another programme to make sure it's not the printer driver?

Your are welcome!

[How to "cut" out "countours" from one shape to the other for depth effect without using pixel masks?]

You are welcome!

And by the way ... a nice tribal!

[How to "cut" out "countours" from one shape to the other for depth effect without using pixel masks?]

You can use the shape builder tool to do this without using masks.

Use the original shapes, make an outline to each shape and choose Expand Stroke frome menu - Layer.

Maybe this vid helps to understand.

 

[How to "cut" out "countours" from one shape to the other for depth effect without using pixel masks?]

Hi @Necrilem

Affinity Designer would be the right choice here.

Do you still have the vector file or only the pixel document?

In the latter case, the pen tool in Designer would be my tool of choice.

If this is a vetor you only have to ad an outline to the strokes. Move the ends a little out of the canvas

Here is the Designer File with history I've worked out.

[ISO Coated v2 in Affinity 2 fehlt]

@PeterB.

Das mit den Unterschieden habe gelesen. Ich muss aber gestehen, dass ich von und mit Farbprofilen so gut wie keine Ahnung habe.

 

@wbaur

Wie dem auch sei; nachfolgend ein Link zu den Farbprofilen der ECI.

Der Pfad zu den Farbprofilen, die die Affinity Programme unter Windows (10/11) nutzen ist dieser: %SystemRoot%\system32\spool\drivers\color

[msix intallation under Windows 10 LTSC Versio 10.0.17763 Build 17763 not possible]

It has been written elsewhere in the forum that LTSC versions of Windows (10/11) are not supported.

An MSI/EXE installer will not change this.
 

[Using Publisher V2 as PDF editor]

@Stephen Frye

Publisher is a competitive DTP programme, but only a mediocre PDF editor, which is fine.

If you are looking for a cheap real PDF editor, I recommend Ashampoo PDF Pro 3.
Click on the download button on the page I linked and simply test the programme.

[V2 Pricing for users V1]

I can understand the displeasure of users who bought the V1 only a few months ago, but not of users who have received large and small updates for free for many years.

Serif is a small software company that has weighed up how much discount is economically justifiable.

And as I read it, all (registered) users of V1 get a money-saving package (possibly brushes, overlays or something else).

[ISO Coated v2 in Affinity 2 fehlt]

Hallo @wbaur

Wenn ich es richtig verstanden habe ist FOGRA39 dem ISO coated V2 gleichzusetzen. 

Hier FOGRA39 und hier http://www.eci.org/doku.php?id=de:downloads#:~:text=2006-05-02-,icc-profile der eci,-Hier finden Sie

@signingin54

You are right. I have just tried it myself.

[I want to be able to install on other Drives , my C drive is full however V2 only comes in MSIX , help.]

@John Rostron

Correct, my suggestion only works for newly installed programmes. Programmes that are already installed can be moved via,
Start -> Settings -> Apps -> Installed Apps and click on the three dots to move them. This only works with UWP apps.

 

[Affinity Photo can't open files from server]

@tombro

Run your Affinity app in administrator mode then try to open your files again.

[Affinity Photo can't open files from server]

Hi @tombro

Do you use a NAS? And if so, from which manufacturer?
Is the connection to the network folder made directly or via a drive link?
