I have a small Publisher doc that I created a custom pattern for a background in a header. It will not export in the pdf, it's simply missing. It does show up in a small section randomly where it's supposed to appear but 95% of it is gone. The pattern was made in Designer and I made it a png. I take that png file and I use it in the Publisher doc as a bitmap fill. It looks fine in Publisher but it won't export to a pdf.

In Publisher, when I move two text frames, with text in them, up to a new position- (have not tried all directions), The frames auto-size while in movement to the new location, and the text disappears because the frames become smaller than they were. I then have to open up the frames to see the text again.

I noticed that when I turn off the windshield wiper in Publisher, I get all sorts of underlined red words. Words that I know are spelled correctly.

Can the brush search be global and not just confined to the brush set that is selected? This is a step in the right direction, but I do not believe I want to navigate to a brush set and then search for a brush name, at this point I'm more thatn halfway there to find it myself. I believe this feature was meant to be a global search or else it's painfully useless to me. Sorry Affinity.

I don't see any information on my images in this panel? Where is the information at? See attached.

Are there any plans to make Affinity Photo better in camera raw? I don't see any new additions and is virtually the same thing since Day 1.

I’m just curious why Affinity tutorials are not featured in like Domestika, which is where I’m a member. of because they need to be. And people will probably accept Affinity products even more so if they are featured by, let’s just call them experts in the field. It’s time to sit at the big table. Don’t be content being a follower!! Find your niche. Be like Figma and get going!!!

When I download a template from Free PSD Templates like this one. Almost all things do not load correctly. But when I open the same file in Pixelmator Pro and resave as a PSD from that app. Affinity Photo then does get it right. What is happening? I can do this for all but I thought this was interesting. But I did notice that when I open the file from the original download, I get all the "smart objects" to open in a separate window as one would expect, but on the Pixelmator version of the same PSD file, those get rasterized and therefore can't really edit all the important things.

In vector brushes, the slider is missing.

Can this be turned off ? I don't like having to have to name a group when I'm in the middle of drawing. Yes I want to group a few layers but naming things or groups should always be done after.

Need this in 2025 /

Can we please have clip to canvas renamed to trim view or presentation view and it be on the UI somewhere easily accessible? I don't think it being under a menu is very useful. Call me crazy I know!

Who do you use now? What app has most of the things that you speak of and does not have these issues?

I bought this pattern template to make patterns and for some reason the copies are missing parts of the symbols. Zoom in you get them back but others drop off. Never are they all rendered and stay that way. See vid. ScreenRecording_03-10-2025 14-37-09_1.mp4

Using styles? Is this the way to draw with a profile? Never heard of this. How would one even do this? Set up the style first I assume? And it would stay vector?

The Pencil tool will be where I can go to get a vector “brush” as it is a true vector with customizable profile settings. Same as other apps having a panel or drop down. Pencil has these in horizontal scroll. The problem is that these don’t transfer to other documents. So I’d have to make a new profiles for each document I create.

Like I said I found it. These are other apps screenshots. I still like the the way other apps do this. It makes for transitioning over to Affinity easier I think.

I found what I was looking for.

We need to be able to save vector brushes made with profiles from the pencil tool. Since these are the only true vector brushes.

Instead of putting together a blend tool, they gave us auto close paths for the pencil. I see what you're saying @Meliora spero.

I think they will never hire enough devs to get all the features we've asked for. I do see that Figma has all the momentum in the world and yet Affinity has the goods to do what Figma does and more, if I'm not mistaken. Yet all the job posts I see say, Figma or CANVA experience is required. It is now becoming a requirement. It should be Affinity they are asking for. I don't know where Affinity is going wrong.

probably showing is better. https://youtu.be/_F5bZOJbHWo?si=zrtfNjacJSZoNljM I am talking about when you apply a style to an object/subject and the layer style chosen is too small or too large and it just looks bad. You have to go into each effect applied and manually adjust to get it to look correct. Scale Effects is a way to adjust only the size of the effects applied.

When will Affinity add Scale Effects to layer styles? or is there a workaround?

I also see, not so much that I lose my work, so I will save every time, but leaving the app for 5-10 seconds and it restarts? It’s the equivalent of shutting the app down every time you to use another app. This clearly is an issue.

So I’m working in a drawing, go to another app like social— not a long time even, media come back to my drawing, and the last things I did have vanished.VERY ANNOYING. all other apps I use do not do this. Is there an adjustment to autosave my work every minute? Or is this normal behavior?
