Crashing when linking
Chiefsub68 replied to Chiefsub68's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
I took the text out and I was able to create a long, blank document with the first legs linked to each other and the second legs ditto. I thought perhaps it didn't like Welsh 🤣🏴. Sadly the snag recurs as soon as I paste in text. -
Crashing when linking
Chiefsub68 posted a topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Hello I am using Affinity Publisher 2.4.2 on a 2019 iMac running Sonoma 14.4.1. I am trying to create a multipage document (A4 portrait) with two columns to a page. One side will be Welsh and the other side English. However when I try to link the first leg on page 1 to the first leg on page 2, AP crashes with the report attached. Any help welcome. ap report.rtf -
Me too! Logging it here to hear when there's an answer.

Many thanks Alfred. That did the trick.

Hello, Where am I going wrong, please? I want to cut out the policeman’s cap. 1 I crop the image so I can see just the cap. 2 I cut out using the pen tool 3 I click mask 4 I Cmd-C and Cmd-V into a new Affinity Photo file. See RBhBwyuhb6K3E2Y1AnDVaIsa9z4hkk The issue I have is that this takes over the cropped elements of the file. Help appreciated! Will

Thanks Ray ...That worked. Thank you.

Thanks -- that's what I usually do and it usually works. As a test, I used the lasso tool to draw a circle on the picture. I then did Cmd-C and Cmd-V which previously would had picked up and pasted only the selection. In this case though, I got the whole picture again. File > New from Clipboard also gives me the whole picture. As mentioned, it is probably something infuriatingly simple ...

Hello, I feel daft asking this but it is driving me crazy. Basically I want to select part of a picture to cut and paste it elsewhere, ideally on to its own layer. I have made selections with both the brush tool and the lasso but for some reason the selection floats above the picture. If I cut and paste the selection isn't "selected" but I get the whole picture again. In the attached screen snap I want to cut out the raised beds, add a greenhouse and paste the raised beds in front of the greenhouse. All I am getting is the complete picture again. This is probably something embarrassingly simple!

Hi, Mine is a tale of woe with a new Mac. It has now had its logic board replaced but when I turned it on I got a "Your Mac has run into a problem" message with a dump report. In the logs there were three reports all from the same time. Two were "proactive event trackers" but the third related to Affinity Publisher. I didn't think Publisher was running at the time. The code is below. Does it mean anything to anyone, please? Regards W —- crash-103018.txt

My thanks to OldBruce, JM, FDE, William and Joachim, I am indeed a fella but you are right to check: today at work I’ve edited copy about a bloke called Karen and a woman called Laurence. And I won’t mention the chap (well, I will, actually) who sidled up to my desk and introduced himself: “I’m the new guy in tech. My name’s Artu.” And I immediately said “And your surname is …” and broke into a fit of giggles. I can’t even see the domed bins in the office kitchenette without cracking up afresh. Anyway, that’s by the by. I am indeed using a Mac (a veritable antique, a 10-year-old iMac bought last time I was made redundant). As for the work, a friend has sent me an .indd file to see if I can replicate a project, so I guess I’ll be best off trying Scribus just for the one job. I’ll let you know how I get on or whether I burst out crying and try to rebuild the book in APublisher. Thanks for your help and hope to bump into you all again. Will

Hi, my personal circumstances have changed drastically and I am probably going to have to freelance from home. I already own Photo and Designer so it would be logical to buy Publisher. Is there a date for launch yet, please? And will the app be able to open .indd files? Best wishes W

Brilliant. Thank you very much. Sorry to take so long to get back -- I had to go out urgently. Best wishes, Will

Hi, I'm floundering here. I've watched the masking videos but I must be missing the answer. I have created text, applied a background using Place, reduced opacity so I can see the background through the text ... but I now want to get rid of the non text background to leave myself with lettering on a transparent background. I can't find a video that deals with this. Guidance welcome.

This is confusing. If you're stumped see the easy way to do this at https://affinity.serif.com/en-gb/tutorials/publisher/desktop/video/286544585/

Opacity slider floats above other app windows - exactly as it says in the title.

The simple answer (Mac) is View > Show Tools.

Cropping

Great, Many thanks, chaps. Will try them again. Will -
Evening all, I have looked at the videos on cropping, sizing, etc, but I still don't find it as easy as Photoshop. In fact I've just sized three pix for the web and they've ended up as (roughly) 1 x 9s instead of (roughly) 4 x 3s. I need an absolute pixel dimension so I did this: Clicked the crop tool, set the size in pixels to get a proportion, held shift and drawn out the selection across the part of the pic, then clicked apply. I then went to Export > Jpeg, entered the same size, checked the output is correct, and clicked export. Logic would seem to say that two goes with the correct size would give me the right size pix. Sadly not. What am i doing wrong? Best wishes, Will
