Thanks. That does work.

Interesting. I'll have to play further, as so far the Affinity apps don't seem to be sharing things for me.

I thought I'd play around with the new Variable Font support using Publisher 2.5.0.2415 on my iPad. I downloaded Roboto Flex from Google Fonts, asked iFont to install it, and got this: Are there any hints for how to install Variable fonts some other way that is supported?

Linking the Affinity applications purchased from the Microsoft Store is an optional part of running the application. If you've done it (which you should be able to see in your Affinity Store account) then you can uninstall the app you purchased from the Microsoft Store and install the Affinity Store version instead.

On the iPad?

No, you are not switching to Designer and Photo. You are using the Designer and Photo Personas that are part of Publisher when you own those other applications. That's important to understand, though less important in V2 because some information will be shared, in the desktop apps, between the Photo application and Publisher's Photo Persona, and between the Designer application and Publisher's Designer Persona. But that sharing is only on the desktop, not when you have the iPad apps which are isolated from each other. You still have the Personas in Publisher, but the don't share Brushes, etc. with the standalone apps like on the desktop.

I don't think this is particularly a Beta issue, as (I think) the current Samples setup came in with 2.4.2. In any case, as a workaround you can use Windows symlinks or hardlinks. I would suggest symlinks as I think they're easier to recognize and understand. Example: Open Command Prompt, and switch to a directory of your own, say c:\users\<your username> Run this command: mklink /J "Publisher 2.5Beta Samples" ".affinity\Publisher\2.0 (Beta)\Samples" You can use whatever name you want for the first quoted string. It will be what will show up in the Quick Access bar in File Explorer. Open File Explorer to c:\users\<your username> and right-click on the name you used, and choose Pin to Quick Access.

I don't think there is "a" setting to do that, because 0/0/0/100 is not RGB #00000000 in general. For an sRGB document, for example, RGB 00000000 is CMYK 72/68/67/88.

Then maybe it will work OK for you. All you can do is try. (But yes, this conversation is off-topic here )

You are working with Affinity Photo, and with Artboards that are named Page 1, Page 2, etc. Usually, for working on a file with Pages, one should use Affinity Publisher not Affinity Photo, and Affinity Publisher has the option we've recommended. To get multiple output files from Affinity Photo, you will need to switch to the Export Persona: Once there, you can switch to the Slices panel, which should have all of your Artboards selected. You can choose the Single PNG export preset in the Slices panel, and click Export Slices at the bottom of the panel.

You're welcome.

Try exporting a PDF.

May be Mac-only, Mike. I don't see that on Windows. I'm trying to test it on my Mac, but I can't get Roboto Flex installed for some reason. (It's the first time I've tried installing a font. I've Validated the file, but it won't Install from the Validation dialog. It seems to install if I double-click on it, but it doesn't show up in Font Book. Yet if I try to add it to my user, it says it's already installed.

What do you mean by a "cropping frame" in Photo? And I'm confused by your initially mentioning Photo then talking about Designer in the remainder of the post and in the topic title. Perhaps a screenshot would also help.

You need All Pages, not Whole Document. But, you didn't answer me about the application you're using. Publisher? Designer?
