Just dragging a point with no modifier will both rotate and scale the selected object(s) about the Transform Origin. Translate means move the object(s) without scaling or rotating, like sliding across the page/canvas. On Windows, you will need to hold down the right-button while you drag the point with the left-button.

Welcome to the Affinity forums That problem with the crtrl-click recognition has been around for years now, but try ctrl-clicking near the top edge of the required row in the panel.

Grays have reddish hue
lepr replied to Yaisog's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
The right hand rectangle in the current document is RGB(179, 179, 179), which is 30% black, not 25%. That doesn't explain the red tint on your machine, of course. -
That makes the result look washed out all over when the export ppi is left at 300 and no image resampling occurs. It was the rasterised part of the OP's export that looked ok. Your workaround only works because images are being downsampled (to 72 ppi in your case), which is a form of rasterisation. A bug needs to be logged.

Unfortunately, a permabug. At least, it is on macOS. I don't know what happens on iPadOS or Windows. In the case of your ungrouped placed transparent PNG with reduced opacity, the RGBA TIFF inside the exported PDF has correct alpha values taken from the placed RGBA PNG, but its RGB values wrongly are as if the placed PNG was being blended with white. If you substitute a TIFF equivalent of the PNG, the RGBA TIFF inside the exported PDF will have correct alpha values taken from the placed RGBA TIFF, but its RGB values will wrongly be as if the placed TIFF was being blended with black. Warning: Affinity apps have numerous ancient bugs involving transparency, which I assume to be permanent.

For your particular workflow, if your document is CMYK, you need to specify K-only CMYK values (that is, C:0, M:0, Y:0) to fill your spare channel to get the spare channel to contain the values you expect. Specifying values in any other way will result in the spare channel containing values that you are not expecting. By the way, I advise you do not use Affinity's Info panel for inspecting CMYK values in a document. Use the colour sampler in Colour panel, as you did in the first video, to discover true values.

RESET THE ORIENTATION OF A ROTATED IMAGE
lepr replied to Segnika's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
add me to the count, please -
No moire is produced when resizing that image to 1500 px with Lanczos or bicubic resampling. Perhaps you are being misled by Affinity's display which is compromised by using mipmaps and a choice of bilinear (view quality = 'Best') or nearest neighbour (view quality = 'Fastest') resampling, whereas Preview's display uses either bicubic or Lanczos resampling.

Two questions regarding MASKS in APhoto
lepr replied to genkin's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Yes. It's a pain. -
Affinity and layers
lepr replied to Iztok's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Groups, rather than Layers, behave as you require in Affinity (when Auto-select is not set to 'Objects'). Your parts (Curves, Rectangles, etc) are in a Layer currently. Select the parts and press ctrl+G (Windows) or cmd+G (macOS) to wrap them in a Group. -
No FX blend mode?
lepr replied to Bit Disappointed's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Only 3 out of 10 FX have no blend mode. Please provide an example Affinity document with the problem so we can investigate and, hopefully, offer solutions. -
Yes, the slippery handles have plagued me since the beginning of v2. Has been reported before. Worked perfectly in the v1 apps, so surely cannot be too difficult to fix.
