Preflight for CMYK 0,0,0,100?
mykee replied to mykee's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Yes, of course. I working with CMYK only in Publisher. I made covers and interior too with CMYK profiles. (I use FOGRA39) -

Preflight for CMYK 0,0,0,100?
mykee replied to mykee's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
I wonder how I can test this. In Photo has a meter, but I can't measure each image one by one, and sometimes it also converts the vector strokes to CMY values. I read in one of your comments that other tools have such a tool that measures CMY values that don't match, one of these would be good for Affinity Publisher. -
Preflight for CMYK 0,0,0,100?
mykee replied to mykee's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Thank you for your feedback! It was not clear to me in the first place why once I set a vector to 0,0,0,100, it converts it during the Affinity export, even though I stay in color profile. Or if I set the opacity, why does it convert the CMY values if only the K value was set in the first place (i.e. why is the opacity in this case not x % of the K value?). So I'm reading the comments and trying to learn how to make a perfect K 100 only export from Affinity with CMYK profile. -

If you could at least export directly to docx from Publisher, that would be good, because converting PDF back to docx is not so easy, especially because of the separations, which is not necessary for EPUB. This was perfectly solved by PagePlus for epub export. I was wondering how to get around PDF, but unfortunately I couldn't find any other solution.

I not only make covers, but also book interiors, where printing with black ink only is essential. So it can only contain elements that cannot contain CMY colours, only K. Is there a preflight option that I can use to filter out elements that meet this requirement? Unfortunately, the printer has repeatedly rejected the preflight because Publisher sometimes makes vector images stroke a non-CMYK 0,0,0,100, or if a K-only image does not have 100% opacity properties, the program will mix in a CMY value. Press can find these straight away using Acrobat, but I can't. It would be nice to filter this out before sending to the press.

Inpainting brush not removing things

Thank you @MEB, I have uploaded the file and I hope you can find the problem! -
Inpainting brush not removing things
mykee replied to accesstime's topic in V2 Bugs found on Windows
@MEB, @Dan C Thank you for your feedback! I reset the brush in the parameters, I used a masking brush. I tried it without and with rasterization. It seems like it takes the bottom, black layer and fills it with that as an inpaint image, and ignores the layer above it. The project is saved, I can upload it for testing (don't bother with the fonts). -
Inpainting brush not removing things
mykee replied to accesstime's topic in V2 Bugs found on Windows
I have a similar problem and I can't solve it: - PNG image pasted - rasterised - added a new pixel layer on top - In the Inpainting Brush Tool I set Current Layer & Below - the device draws a black line. - I reset it under the More button, but to no avail. Any other ideas? And result: I also tried putting just this picture in a group to do it within, but it didn't help. The base background colour is black (not visible between the layers, it's lower down), probably that's what you sampled from? -

Here is the screenshot. In the other thread, we talked about having hidden text, and I set it to 1 pt, plus 0 pt line-height. I generated a TOC from it and got this. Hooray. It's getting frustrating in Publisher that it inherits the style when adding a new element. If I press the Revert Defaults button, I get the text fine without formatting, but then it doesn't work as a TOC, but as plain text. Okay, now I've tried it: if I press the button after adding the empty text frame and then generate a TOC, the letter will be correct. Annoying, but I'll try to pay attention to that from now on.

Custom TOC structure?
mykee replied to mykee's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
True, but if I have the author and title within a paragraph, I can't align them separately (for example, author to the right, title in the middle, or a line under the author name), because that's paragraph formatting. I was thinking about this, too, to have it within a paragraph, but then the formatting is more tied up. -

Custom TOC structure?
mykee replied to mykee's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Thanks for the ideas for making invisible texts. The question is how much of a problem it will be for the PDF export, or what will be visible in print. In any case, you have posted some interesting ideas. I was wondering if you could also have sections in TOC, but they might slip when you break them. If you have more ideas, come, I look forward to it! -
I would like a custom TOC structure. I have two paragraphs: an Author Name, followed by a Title 1. When I create the TOC, I want it to be in the format Author Name - Title. If I use Line break in Title this working, but should be the hyphen between the name and the title in the TOC. The reason I would use two paragraph styles is because there is a different font and layout for the title and author name. How can I make the TOC not see it as a separate paragraph and include the hyphen after the name?

I'm editing text for a book, and after I'm done, the new text boxes apply the text and font styles I used before, and make it difficult for me to reformat. Sometimes turning off text style is enough, but sometimes [No style] is not enough. There are times when parameters like No wrap or Superscript are left on, and I could go on and on. Where could I turn off the option to use a raw style for new text and textboxes, instead of inheriting previous styles, colors and others?
