Why not saving in V1 format?
BofG replied to Gianni Becattini's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
It's probably used a lot less since CC has become more widely adopted. I remember using it quite a lot, different companies and freelancers had various versions available and it made collaborating fairly straightforward. People have given good reason for needing it, maybe it is just a small percentage of the user base. I get the business logic of it, they are a small team and lots of other things people want are still not implemented. At the same time, maybe fostering some goodwill wouldn't hurt. In any case, from a technical standpoint it's possible and exists in other software. -
Why not saving in V1 format?
BofG replied to Gianni Becattini's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
That's a straw man argument. Are you saying that people are very unhappy that Adobe lets them save for older versions? It's a business decision. Time versus return. I'd wager there's also an element of "carrot and stick" about it all. The great new features are the carrot, and for those who don't have a need for the new features, well then there's the stick to help them along 😃 -
Designer SVG export (empty groups)
BofG replied to Juc1's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
V1 does the same, it's nothing to do with kerning. There's an option in the export for "use longer t spans" which fixes it. -
Wrong black values while exporting to CMYK
BofG replied to Pbj's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Show a screenshot of the colour tab under document setup. What you have described should work, so something is wrong somewhere. -
Wrong black values while exporting to CMYK
BofG replied to Pbj's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
I forget the exact name of the button, but drop the PNG into your file and there's a "k only" button that will show on the context menu. Edit. Oops, this button is in Designer and I realised you said you have publisher. Not sure if it's available there. -
Designer 2 PDF export for printig
BofG replied to Ragi's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Really? That cannot be true. How would anyone producing artwork intended for PDF know where the limit is? -
Change "resample" to "nearest neighbour" on the export settings.

I completely disagree, you said it yourself that the Adobe suite allows back saving by dropping incompatible file features (it just drops them back to the next appropriate primitive element). This is a completely proprietary file format, known and used only by Serif. They were free to change it as needed, they could have even put some changes into the last V1 update if necessary. This was a time/business decision. I don't see why people feel the need to try and make out like it's an impossible task.

I agree that it should have been included. It's not as though there are multiple previous versions, it's one step and those new file inclusions for V2 could have been planned with a fall-back from the get go. The business case probably stacks up, just feels a bit like the users have been left out of the equation.

Huge problem with Publisher Version 2 -> I've just bought affinity suite V2 (all the apps), I've tried to open a file created with Affinity Publisher V1, and almost immediately Publisher V2 freezes
BofG replied to Andrea00's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
I can't directly help, but what I would advise is you immediately take a backup of that file to a separate location (disc or cloud).- 12 replies

I'm not sure if this is meant to be subtle comedy? Anyone who's used design apps in the past decade will know that's exactly what gets done. It's a shame there's no back-saving, it was already a pain being an Affinity user in an Adobe world, but now we will even have to be incompatible amongst ourselves.

Pinks printing Peach
BofG replied to Donna1204's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
That rapid tables thing and other such converters really shouldn't be recommended. They are nonsense for proper colour management. OP - do you have a printer profile for your sublimation material? -

Reverse image search and DMCA takedowns are the easiest. Failing that you need money to sue people. There's nothing you can do to the image to protect it if you want to publish it online without a watermark. If you control the page it's going on you can use a "noindex" tag to stop search engines picking it up.
