[Discount for owners]

I wouldn’t be at all surprised if discounts are offered to celebrate the launch of version 1.7 or Serif winning an award of some sort. It’s happened before.

 

That would be a nice gesture.

[Discount for owners]

AD will only get better and the features that are added in the future may be features you will use, who knows you might get a taste for vector and become an Affinity Vector Guru. So maybe it really is worth the price?

 

I don't think there are any discounts planned for anybody at the moment AffinityN1

Not sure if this video will help but worth a try

 

[Bleed View and multi value set]

Under Document Setup...

Bleed View Button and multi-value set check box so that when this is checked all bleed options Top, Bottom, Left and Right are set to the same value.

[Affinity Designer - SVG Object size (bug)?]

I've had trouble with SVG and import sizes, I have to export @ 90DPI to get accurate size matches in MTC e.g. Affinity export size is 3in, MTC import size is 2.9967in

Flavors
There are 2 different PDF/X-3 flavors:

• PDF/X-3:2002 – such a file has to be a PDF 1.3 file
• PDF/X-3:2003 – such a file has to be a PDF 1.4 file but it should not contain any transparency and JBIG2 compression should not be used to compress images.

Both flavors share all of the restrictions that apply to PDF/X-3. The 2003 version simply came along because some newer software applications no longer supported the older PDF 1.3 file format.

 

Quote

• PDF/X-4
  • An updated version of PDF/X-3 which adds among others support for transparency and spot colors.

 

I would ask the Printer if they support PDF/X-4 and use that if your printout in this format looks good.

[AP - Faux Italics and/or Bold]

Just in case these versions are not included in the font family  Btw, I know what is the difference between real italics vs. obligues vs. automatically slanted...

Got ya.

What software are you using for cutting?

[Affinity Photo - Change color precicesly.]

You can also set the RGB values in the Colour Panel then switch the selector to HSL to get the 134º

[Affinity Photo - Change color precicesly.]

There is probably an easier way to do this but it's a workable option until someone shows an easier way.

[Replacing Sky issues]

I see a lot of "replaced skies" and the biggest mistake made is the sky used to supplant the original sky isn't from the same perspective. People can view such images and know something is wrong but can't quite put their finger on why, so use a sky that is seen from the same viewpoint, elevation etc. It makes a "world" of difference.

[Replacing Sky issues]

There is a very good Affinity tutorial with a alternative way to replace a sky using Blend ranges and is worth a watch, move to about 50 seconds and watch from there: 

 

[Running Affinity Photo over RDP?]

The ultimate question is how much can you afford, because that limits what you can buy and what people can suggest.

[What to use until Publisher?]

My sister has published approx 20 books on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Milly-Jane-Ayre/e/B00IS1TSCO I'll ask what she uses, I should know but my brain is just putty today.

[Running Affinity Photo over RDP?]

Having a lot of RAM in a system isn't the magic solution, it helps but it is just one part of a computer ensemble. Motherboard choice, CPU, GPU and HDD all play a big part and if you get it right you have a good system, so sticking a shed load of RAM in a system is only one consideration. 

 

 

[Fill tool not working correctly]

Attach a file that is showing this behaviour and we can try it on our systems.

• Does this or any behaviour described, display in other apps on your system?

Things to Try

• You could try resetting Affinity using the Prefences > Miscellaneous Panel (Using these Reset switches will remove any custom settings, brushes etc)
• You could try removing Affinity and reinstalling it.

 

[Nik or Affinity Single-image HDR]

Just now, John Rostron said:

As you will have noticed. I concur with this.the image I used here was, if you like, the last straw.

Do you mean that you use AP HDR Merge to creat a single output image and then apply Nik HDR to that?

John

 

Yes sometimes.

fortunately not. 

[Is this border style posible with Affinity?]

Now wouldn't that be a cool feature, to change a straight path using a "Frequency Filter" to create undulations from a straight path, similar to an oscilloscope effect.

 

[Stuck with a boolean subtraction issue, completely stumped]

I think this is one of those quantum fluctuations where an alternative universe has some spacial node deformity creating a distortion field in Quarters file.

 

I've seen a similar thing in a packet of Maltesers when my girlfriend is sat near me, the maltesers just seem to disappear.

But why does reversing the path close the shape

Did a bit of zoomed in testing, reversing the curve doesn't change any of the red highlighted nodes, boolean adding a duplicate changes some of the red nodes but not all of them.

[Stuck with a boolean subtraction issue, completely stumped]

Nope all crossed nodes are still there but doing the duplicate, then boolean add to both N layers now removes the N from the background. I wonder if there is a break somewhere in the path and the add boolean closes the path?
