Yes, both screens are on. Window > Zoom works thanks. It brings it up. It's a fix for the underlying faulty window management in all affinity apps. They are a bit cumbersome to use from time to time .Thank you Walt, for your help. I really appreciate it.

This is super frustrating to start. Why do the panels in Affinity (ALL) seem to want to show off screen? I just now didn't find the resource manager panel, because it popped up to the left of my screen, with 2 pixels of the window showing. I just found it after I closed the document and saw the dark outline to the left. I clicked the 'Updated resources' notification, but never saw the panel. This seems to me to be a recurring theme in all the affinity suite tools, and makes the software super frustrating to use. Is there a setting somewhere I might have missed, so that everytime the panels re-appear, they appear in their default place? Thanks for listening to my gripe

Thank you for the replies. That PDf is a great read, @MikeTO.

Hi folks, new Affinity Publisher user here. I used to do graphic design for print, in newspapers, advertising, books etc. But that was in Indesign, and I had a flow of working when the manuscript changed. I could do linked imports and use the Story Editor. I understand that Publisher has a different workflow, but setting up a book where the manuscript might change a bit, after first setup in Affinity, what is the best workflow? Thanks.

When doing big prints, I prefer to work in 10% of the size, and just export it as PDF without subsampling the images. It's more manageable to work like this as keyboard arrows move objects 1mm at a time etc. That has a visual change when working with 10% size. ANyway.. When exporting from Affinity Publisher it would be great to up the size (1000% or in mm), without subsampling the images. Instead of the printer shop doing the upsampling, I can deliver a 100% size straight from Affinity.

Thank you for posting that. This was going to be my response as well. Stabilizing is not a fix for this problem. This is pure linerendering.

Here's the affected file. In the io-in-device.afphoto file is where the jagged lines are. Archive.zip

Still no reply on this from the people in support. Basically $49 out the window. Thanks.

No reply on this yet? Basically $49 out the window for me. Thanks.

On my Cintiq 13HD I still get jagged lines on fast brushstrokes. Wasn't the 1.6.6 update supposed to be faster?

And this is a piece from 100% of what I'm starting with. The screen I'm pasting in is 2880*1800px and it's perepective skewed into a canvas with smaller dimensions, so there is enough pixeldata in the image to make a perfect render. I would fix this in 15 mins in PS, but I no longer pay for PS after Affinity Photo.

Also here is a screenshot of a detail from 100% of the exported file. Still looks too jaggy to be used. I forgot to say: New user, using Live Perspective to embed a screen into a laptop. Tried setting the Preferences as noted above, and I exported to JPG and PNG. both with bicubic, and bilinear and Lanczos.

I'm seeing this as well. The smooth one is from Krita (way to blurry to be useful, but it shows the difference) and the jagged one is from Affinity. How can I export it to png and get it to be nice? Thanks, specs below. macOS 10.12.5 Macbook pro 13" 2015 (intel GPU) Affinity Photo 1.5.2
