Handling bleed in 1.7.0.58 (split)

Thank you. Will the final version of publisher allow to specify a binding edge bleed and an outside edge bleed? -
Handling bleed in 1.7.0.58 (split)
serge replied to serge's topic in [ARCHIVE] Publisher beta on macOS threads
Here are the blurb specifications for the document (premium magazine) that I created on affinity publisher (see blurb_settings.png image) I set in publisher bleed options (see publisher_bleed setting.png image) the bleed specifications that are stated there and, in the export option (see export_options.png image), I have to select "all pages" instead of "all spread". If, on the other hand, I set the bleeds to 0 in publisher options (see bleed_options_set_to_zero_in_publisher.png image), the resulting pdf uploaded to blurb pass is accepted with success (see blurb_successful_upload.png image). So, in effect, like I said before, my document is only accepted by blurb if I do not set any bleed at all. Now if you look at the blurb specifications (see sizes_specs.png image) you can see that: - there is a setting for the "Final exported PDF File" which states 8.625 inches x 11.25 inches, - and there is a setting for the "page size/trim line" : which states 8.5 inches x 11.0 inches. but in Affinity publisher, there is no option to set the difference between the "Final exported PDF File" and the page size/trim line. there is only an option to set dimensions of page (see page_dimensions.png image). So the question is, what values do i need to enter in the publisher settings to have the bleeds included in my document and for the exported pdf file to be compliant with the blurb requirements. I used scribes before, and I was able to have my pdf document complying with blurb, even with entering the bleed value specified in the blurb specs. Am I missing something on publisher? -

Be that as it may, On my document, I have to put 0 in the the fields on the bleed section ( and export the document to pages, not to spreads), otherwise, the exported pdf document is not compatible with the Blurb requirements showed in my initial post. It is weird. -

after further fiddling, I have realized that the only way my document works properly with blurbs specifications is if I set the bleeds settings to 0, as show in the publisher file attached. -
Affinity Publisher Public Beta - 1.7.0.58

After many hours of fiddling my file, I discovered that my document is only working with blurb specification requirements if I leave the bleed settings to zero as shown in the screen grab attached. -

So my document should show like that (screenshot in publisher) with the grey lines being the bleed?: and my pdf layout should be : -

I do not know if I am missing something. I am trying to set up publisher for a magazine format with the blurb specifications. but something is off, the bleed guide seems to be outside the document. I have included the screen grabs showing the blurb magazine specifications, the publisher document settings, margin settings and bleed settings., as well the publisher file. am I doing something wrong or is there a setting missing in the beta software. also the bleed guide is in grey color, is there a setting somewhere in the software to set the custom color for margin guide and bleed guide sample.afpub -

I was wondering, will the commercial version include the gutter settings? -

hello, Do I need a plugin to open dng files from my scans. Affinity photo seems only to open the thumbnail rather than the actual file. I am running the latest version of affinity on mac OS High Sierra : 10.13.3. I can open the file on photoshop without any issue. I have attached one of my dng files. winter_scene_07.dng
