Hi. I have Designer, Publisher, Photo... The extra content get downloaded separately in all 3 apps? Why not a common area so that if the same content is not prompted but still recognized between the apps? Some of these are almost a gig of space.

I'm having extreme lag and my machine has 16gb ram with an SSD and an 8th gen i7 and dual graphics cards one being an nvidia so this shouldn't lag like this.
It's a program defect.
Earlier version on an old macbook worked fine for me without any lag.
I am not getting a lot of CPU usage either and the ram usage is not off the charts so IDK what is causing the lag.
-
I also am having issues with a document that I used to edit on an old macbook in an earlier version of publisher with no lag. My macbook died and I upgraded to a Windows 10 machine with the same 16gb ram and an SSD but this one has an 8th gen i7 whereas the old macbook had like a first gen i7.
I paste in a background and am trying to move in a small pasted vector on a 240 pg document and the thing is so laggy I can't work.
Doesn't matter if I tell it to use the integrated Intel vs the Nvidia graphics card.

I haven't done this myself, but apparently someone got Designer working under Ubuntu Linux using WINE.

I use Affinity Designer for tshirt design creation and also for craft stuff I do for my wife for kids birthday parties and school things - I love Designer and I use it 99% of the time. I use Photo for specific photo things that I then pull into Designer.
Sometimes you want a one click effect and see how that works. Saves time. I do do long hand things with brushes and stuff but sometimes a filter is all one needs or wants.
-
Let me explain. Under Windows I have Paint.net installed and it has a nifty pencil sketch effect and also oil color effect, which are both pretty much single click, and they work great 99% of the time. Something like that for Affinity Photo... I have Affinity Photo/Designer/Publisher licenses for both Mac & Windows (yes I bought one of each for both platforms). At home I use my macbook mainly, at work I hae a Windows box, and knowing how expensive Macs are if my macbook ever dies and I can't afford to replace it I know that a Windows lapotop is cheap.
Anyhoo, I was surprised there was no built in filters like this for Affinity
-
Is there a working oil painting filter, effect, or plugin that works with Affinity Photo? I don't mean a sequence of steps with tools, I mean a one stop effect.
Thanks.

I just purchased the Mac Publisher license through the preorder link, but when I go through again to buy a Windows one it gives me a voucher code and when I click redeem voucher it says:
Error: The code you entered has exceeded its purchase limit.
All I want to do is to buy a Windows license too at the preorder price. Is this not allowed?

Did you tried to export and see then how it looks outside of AD? What happens when you export let's say to PDF and print from that with the HP printer?
Oh I just printed from the ahdesign file

Have you set the bleed size under document setup? Maybe it helps.
Bleed size is all 0 should I make it... what?
-
Hi. Maybe this is simple but I am not getting something. I have a page that I set the background well outside the page size but the printer is printing a white margin type of space and a larger on at bottom. Designer is set to no margins. I am not sure why I am getting this cutoff. Is this strictly a printer (HP inkjet) issue? IF the background texture and the graphic at the bottom wer well within the measurements of the page, why am I getting this white space on the edges and a larger white space on the bottom of the page?
Thanks

That i7 mac with a SSD doesn't look bad to me... true that I'm the king of overuse old fashioned hardware.... Oh, I see, now... 2.2 / 2.3 GHz... that's slow (mine 2.8 turbo at 3.46 (overclock dunno, never do that) and is slow... but 2009 is first gen, too)...I can see you being eager of a new cpu, specially with big images and stuff.
But... Now the price matter is better than ever before, at least in Windows.... One can get a Ryzen (intel is gone Dodo) PC machine first hand quite powerful for around 400 - 500 bucks, getting a great PC Win machine, highly performant. So, no biggy. Today you do all you want with either a mac or a PC, is just a matter related to your bank, IMO. Now, in some cases, 500 $ / euros is still a problem...I can understand it. And Mac prices are really climbing now...
I do tshirts on Amazon and other POD which is my main use case for Affinity. If I manage to sell enough in future maybe a new Mac is in the cards, but I planned on turning that money into Bitcoin/Ethereum/etc first so I guess I'll just rough it.
Actually my 2011 macbook exports the designs to PNG pretty quickly. It's not like I'm making 3D movie stills or anything. 16gb of RAM and SSD are the big things that keep my machine relevant.
Just that, you know about obsolescence etc. It happens..

<---> Some people are trying the VM route, instead of Wine. Specially Virtualbox---snip--->
Thanks for the well thought out response. Actually, if I can't run it on the bare OS I'm not interested. Having all those layers including a secondary OS... I've used VMWARE and VirtualBox and all that stuff in my previous IT career and even in software test9ing (where I am now) and honestly it would be nice to see linux versions but without them I'd just use Windows or Mac.
At one time I was so anti Microsoft (post Windows NT SP 2 fiasco) that I used Linux as my laptop OS at the software company I worked for and used Windows in a vmware vm to use things like Outlook mail and MS office apps. I had that flexibility in my job they let me do it. It was a small company and we were ALL nerds with nerd cred, from the VP down to the lowest laptop provisioner...
If when the times comes I can stay on Mac I will. If not I will use Windows. All I was saying is that it would be "nice" to have that other option although I understand the reasons why they are not doing that.
That being said whjile I bought Mac and Win licenses I use the Mac licenses the most because I prefer the Macbook. (early 2011 i7 with 16gb RAM and new 500GB SSD I replaced the old drive with a few months ago - non retina running High Sierra - not upgradable to Mohave, dammit - but that doesn't matter)

I know, just were kidding. - Related to the Linux theme, though I can understand the demand and interest of Linux users here, it's pretty fruitless since they don't have intensions to port their tools line over to those systems.
Yeah but I was just adding my 2 cents (or Pence) since this thread is so long anyway. I think there is more to that market than pie charts can tell. People like me who are in all three markets but would get the Linux version to be free from the other two, if that choice existed. As I also stated, I pretty much know it won't happen...

Hmm, didn't know they sell Linux licenses at all, maybe due to St. Nicholas Day.
Typo, I just fixed. Mac & Windows - you can see from the rest of the message that if there was a Linux version I would buy that, which is what I was trying to say.
-
Let me just add to this already voluminous post that I purchased both Mac & Windows licenses for Photo & Designer, and will do the same for Publisher.
I dislike Windows with a passion and I love my Macbook, but it's aging and won't last forever. Macs are expensive.
If there were Linux versions of these I would buy them, if just to free me from having to eventually replace a Mac or run Windows.
I know it's not going to happen, so I'll eventually just look for another newer used Macbook when the time comes, but I can dream...

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think turning off SYNC for all pages in that symbols panel might be my answer. After doing that it lets me check or uncheck background images on a per page basis without affecting the other pages.
I will test this more to see if it truly is my solution. Thank you for pointing me to this feature it was buried and I had no idea what to even look for.

Where is this symbols panel that is needed to make that work as you describe it?

Thanks I will try to digest that later as I have almost run out of time here at home and almost ready to get off to work.
I have the Windows version installed at work (Mac at home) and I may be able to play with it later.

You are working the other way around:
A mp is set to all or specific pages and you create a mp for every layout you want so you can alter a mp everywhere
And apply multiple to multiple pages or not
It isn't one mp with all concepts you can alter per local pageWhy should I have to create a different master page "version" for every layout? It makes sense to create ONE and then make pages based upon that master and in EACH page you make it how you want to to look. In my case, I want to simply check off the background that I want in each page in the layers, but when I do all of the other pages and the master change to what I checked off. To me this makes no sense or logic and is unintuitive.

No, you need to switch off the visibility of the group, not the image
Take a look at my file I posted here above
Go to a local page and switch off a mp in the layers panel and switch on another
The mp doesn't get changed but the items on the local page has a different visibilityI would love to look at your file but I downloaded it and when I try to open it it crashes publisher.
How'd you get the V2 installed file sizes so small?

I noticed this and it blew my mind. Is this because of shared assets or something?
