  1. Just downloaded update 1.9.0 for mac for all three apps in hope problem would be resolved. Great update with new features & fixes. Unfortunately NO fix for this problem! Affinity could we have an update on this thread please as to when problem will be solved. Thank You.
  2. Thanks JPR Nov 27 2020 post for suggestion. Delay in responding due to family bereavement. I completely uninstalled all my Epson P600 software and removed printer from iMac. Then reinstalled latest available drivers from Epson, Catalina , [no Big Sur available] and added P600 back to printers. Still no Colour Matching facility available but now I can can a print with full colours which just needs fine tuning with appropriate custom paper profile. I tracked down the colour profiles. As you can see they were greyed out. Interestingly when I went back to that folder after taking the above screen shot they were now shown in black. Still nn Colour Matching option in Print though. Nor can I access them for Soft Proof even though I have put them in what I thought were the appropriate folders. Please Affinity, work your magic, it really is quite frustrating.
  3. Hi. Similar problem, but not quite the same. After updating to Big Sur and 1.8. 6 the ability to choose 'Colour Matching' has disappeared from my Epson P600 printer. Though it still shows my presets. However using those is useless as they now result in weird colours as mentioned above. Interestingly my everyday HP printer still retains the ability to close colour matching. Please see attached screen shots. This is the same on AP, AD & AP and all my other apps. Tried to correct by downloading Epson drivers and firmware but both read they cannot find my Epson printer even though it is switched on and working. So its it Affinity or Big Sur? Suggestions gratefully received. John 27th Nov Update: Emailed Epson UK as I thought it might be a driver problem . They have replied saying that updated drivers are being rolled out progressively but there is not one currently available for OS Mac Big Sur for SC-P600 printer. They did not offer an opinion as to whether it was a driver problem.
  4. Having Affinity Photo, Designer & Publisher I agree that Affinity DAM is now needed. I understand that Serif like to keep their cards close to their chest but think it would be helpful to their loyal supporters if they could now give an update on this matter.
  5. I have a variation on this problem. With me its is only if I am using an AP aphoto file in the document Im trying to print that I get crashes. Other files of the same picture and with same colour space, such as jpeg, psd work fine and document prints
  6. Sorry, just catching up here. On October 2nd Patrick Connor wrote "When we start the 1.7 Mac and Windows customer betas of Affinity Designer and Affinity Photo these buttons should enable. In the purchased version of Affinity Publisher these buttons will only enable (independently) with a purchased version of Affinity Photo and/or Affinity Designer of 1.7 or above" Perhaps I'm not reading that properly but does it mean that those of us who purchased early versions of Affinity Photo and Designer will not get a free update to v 1.7 enabling those buttons? I seem to remember that we were promised free updates for two years but honestly cannot remember when that ran from. Was it the time we purchased, or the initial introduction of the alpha programmes? Let me stress I think they are all amazing value, especially with the fantastic support Affinity provides, and will be quite happy to purchase updates . Just would like clarification.
  7. Pauls replied to a topic Printing won't work for me Hopefully build 128 should fix the blank preview issue - if it does not can you please create a new thread Received the above email and have now downloaded v 1.70.128. Unfortunately the same problem remains. When the print menu comes up the "Fit type" is defaulted to "Scale 100%" and there is still a blank preview window and nothing prints. Switch the "Fit type" to either "Fit to printable' or "Shrink to Printable" and for both the preview window now show the image and it prints.
  8. Again the same issue - files not printing I reported printing problems with the first beta when sometimes it did and sometimes it didn't print. With this second beta I can't print anything. I'm running OS 10.13.6 and using an Epson SureColour P600 and an HP Envy 5532. With each printer the print preview window shows blank pages and nothing shows in print queue . If you press print all you gets blank pages. Am just editing this having read some replies on this forum re this problem. It appears to be linked to the scale setting on your printer. Attached are two screen shots showing my Epson drop down print menu. Were the Fit type is shown as "Scale' the preview window is blank and nothing prints. Were it is set to "Fit to printable' preview window shows page and it prints. Don't know why this is as my document size is set to A4 as is my printer.
  9. Many thanks to all of you for your helpful comments. I confess I haven't done any DTP for some years but back then I used QuarkXpress [forget the version] and as I remember it you could delete items from a page derived from a master without the Master being affected. Also I don't remember it having layers but I may be wrong. As h_d says users could have a nasty shock if they fall into the same trap as myself and do not appreciate the "reverse flow" dangers. In my case no harm was done but I can imagine were several pages are linked to a master and a wrong change on one affects them all. Could I suggest that the short tutorial on master pages is increased to emphasis these dangers. Thanks once again folks.
  10. Hello MEB, I've attached two screen shots of my desktop: One is with the master page selected and the other with the page selected. I'm trying to remove the days of the week [e.g Monday] from the page but leave the date [e.g 1st] in place. I want both the date and day to remain on the master page.
  11. Advise please, I've created pages from a master page but when I make changes to them the parent master page is also changed? I thought it only worked the other way round i.e changes to a master would alter alleges created from that master. Am I missing something?
  12. Thanks for the thought Jane E. The problem was not with the frame but the actual text which could not be deleted with the delete key which acted as a space bar. I'm using an iMac with cordless full keyboard. The weird thing is that this happened every day since I downloaded the beta but this morning I tested it again and now the delete key is working as it should, deleting text! ??? It will be interesting to see if it reappears.
  13. CHD - yes I have this problem as well. Totally frustrating. The only way I can delete even the one letter is to highlight it and cut. Also experienced problems with not been able to print as mentioned elsewhere on this forum. Having said that I think the software is amazing for first beta. Keep up the excellent work Affinity
  14. MEB - many thanks but I am, as you suggest, changing document units selecting the View Tool (hand icon) and selecting them in the Units dropdown in the context toolbar. The problem is that I have to do this with each file I open because the default setting is pixels. I am asking if Preferences could include the option to elect your own default measurement unit.
  15. Sorry if this has been raised before. The default setting for ruler measurements in both Photo and Designer is pixels, presumably because the majority use that. However I mainly work in cms and it drives me round the bend have to change the setting each time I open a file. Please could a future update include the ability to set your own default measurement unit in Preferences?
