Thanks so much for your quick response, David. That was the solution, of course.

I've noticed a malfunction in Affinity Photo V2.1.0 (Windows 11) when entering RGB hex code in the main colour panel. Whether it's copy-pasted or typed in manually, the code's prefaced by 000000, and therefore doesn't resolve correctly: see attached screenshot. Has anyone else experienced something similar. Does anyone have a solution?

They are poor. No question. The color palette is washed out - especially the peculiar orange used for Publisher. I'm kind of surprised when these packages are aimed at design and creative professionals. Time for a reboot as far as the icons are concerned.

Am working with my client on a very large 1.24GB project. Both of us chose to use Affinity Publisher for Windows (version 1.10.1.1142). Both of us have experienced crashes, but the deadline is tight and we cannot afford any further problems. The causes of his five crashes (which were all recoverable) and my one crash (which was not) are not easily reproducible as the document itself undergoes multiple changes in each iteration. However, I append DMP files for my case. Incidentally, I came to Publisher after many excellent (and crash-free) years with Photo. So far, it's in a different league. 72ff5a24-0648-4e02-a9bb-bd8baf08d67b.dmp 502592b2-b95d-4320-946d-5f9a1df7416c.dmp aeefea48-17c0-45ae-964d-f84c026e80c7.dmp

Excellent. I often need presentation slides which fade to transparent, in order to leave a space for adding text (e.g. the right-hand side of the attached image). I have now been able to add the settings for this effect as a Group in the Assets panel as suggested. It works like a dream. Many thanks Walt!

Thanks to other contributors to this important discussion. 1) Apart from the copy-paste trick, is there a way to now save the attributes? 2) If they are grouped, for example, can the group be recalled when needed? Thanks

Brilliant, Ron. You have solved the problem. Many thanks.

Hi Ron. All understood. It's just that when I uploaded it into my Develop persona, it came out as in my first screenshot - not just blown out, but with this extreme yellow and red banding (sorry, not sure of the exact term for this - posterization?). This is not what is shown in the tutorial, even in the pre-development stage.

Hi Ron Thanks for your reply. But this is not my photo; it is the test file supplied in the tutorial. As you can see from this other attachment, it should look like this in Develop persona.

I was following James Ritson's first tutorial Jump into Affinity . I uploaded the RAW image, and the program switched (correctly) to the Develop persona. Once developed, it was fine, and I was able to follow all the instructions. However, before it was developed, while still in Develop persona, it looked like this, with the sun part of the image blown out as can be seen. Can anyone explain why this might happen? Is it to do with my graphics card (Intel HD Graphics 620)?
