Thanks for letting me know.

I've just received the information about Version 2. Version 1 is a lot more complex than I need but the one thing I'd really appreciate is a way of converting pixel images into vector shapes. Is that included now?

I use Affinity Photo on a PC (HP Elite 800, 5 years old) for most things and a laptop (HP Pavilion) for minor adjustments. The laptop has Version 1.9.2.1035; I haven’t updated since. Task Manager tells me it uses 383 MB. I have the most up to date version on the PC. Currently it’s using 514 MB. It became so slow as to be virtually unusable. I’ve just upgraded the RAM from 32 to 48 G, but it isn’t noticeably faster. I could uninstall it and reinstall an older version, but I’m writing to ask whether there is a better solution.

Absolutely amazing. It works! Why did I never think of that? When it's time for me to become a billionaire I'll ask to you sort it for me. Many thanks.

Thanks for the information about Sourceforge. I hadn’t heard of it. But, at the risk of infuriating all those good people who put so much work into Aff Publisher, Page Plus remains the best method. So that means creating 2 versions. Characteristically, I create a first draft, print it out, and then examine the printed copy for alterations that need making. I may have to do this a few times. In the system you describe here I would have to make the alterations twice over. In the ‘rotate 180 degrees’ system I would have to unrotate, make the changes, and then re-rotate. Either of these can be done. It’s just that the Page Plus template, which in effect did the rotating for me, eliminated the extra work. If I’m the only person doing this kind of thing maybe it’s not worth your while to cater for me, but I guess there may be others.

Thank you for explaining this, and I appreciate the speed of your responses. What I’ve been working on is a 4-page A6 booklet, so producing 2 copies from 1 sheet of A4. I was assuming the ‘Booklet’ facility in the Print dialog box would make it possible. I can see that the manual workaround you describe can work, but it’s so much easier in Page Plus that I was hoping for an equivalent. Any chance a future version might introduce one?

Many thanks for such a quick reply. However I'm still stuck. Half the pages (typically, 2 & 3 out of 4) will need to be upside-down. How do I edit these pages the right way up and then get the imposing done so that 1 and 4 are the right way up and 2 & 3 are upside down? I can see that if I want at least 4 copies I can follow your instructions but typically I want only 1 or 2. Any ideas?

I can’t work out how to set up a template to print 4 pages of A6 on an A4 sheet, and end up with the pages properly imposed. Page Plus does this well. How do I do it in Aff Publisher? I’m using Windows 10 and an Epson ET 2726 printer.

Designer 1.9.1.979 on Windows 10. I am trying to follow the video on custom brushes as in https://affinityspotlight.com/article/5-things-you-should-know-about-affinity-designer-19/?utm_source=SpotlightEmail&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Newsletter The video begins with 5 vector shapes on one layer. As far as I can make out, they have to be on the same layer; otherwise the brush is created from only one shape. I can add them together, and then they do go onto the same layer, but then they are all changed to the same colour. How do I do it?

One more question. After I have done it, I can't work out how to go back into the gradient to re-edit it. Is there a way of doing it?
