A big thank you to all that commented/helped. All resolved, and happy daughter. -

AAMOI, I don't see an option in Affinity to export as 1-bit PNG. This is only for my education, as it seems likely the XnView conversion will do the job. -

That's really interesting. I assume because the maximum data is then collected. -

I'm trying to get more info, but in the meantime I found that XnView can (batch) convert 8bit tiffs by changing "the colour depth" to binary (B&W?). I'm waiting to hear if the converted files are acceptable which would solve everything, inc hopefully the tears (not mine). I used Kyocera's Quick Scan program with the output set to monochrome, a "colour setting" hence I suppose the rgb output. I'm a long way out of my comfort zone on understanding this stuff I really appreciate all the most helpful comments I haven't uploaded any examples as we are still trying to establish which scans are (and are not) acceptable. -
I scanned a lot of hand drawings for my daughter's project in mono tiff & png from my Kyocera M5526cdw laser: 600dpi and having selected the monochrome "colour setting" in their app. However, she has been told that "Some of the images have been saved as Bitmap, whilst others have been saved as RGB, producing compression fuzz around the black lines", and rejected. When I look at the image information in Affinity, all show as rgb/8 so I am at a loss at to how/why some are acceptable and others not; and for that matter what is mono? Also, the export & document/convert options only offer RGB 8bit and Greyscale 8bit, adding to my confusion. Raw data info: <?xpacket begin="" id="W5M0MpCehiHzreSzNTczkc9d"?> <x:xmpmeta xmlns:x="adobe:ns:meta/" x:xmptk="XMP Core 5.5.0"> <rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"> <rdf:Description rdf:about="" xmlns:tiff="http://ns.adobe.com/tiff/1.0/" xmlns:exif="http://ns.adobe.com/exif/1.0/" xmlns:photoshop="http://ns.adobe.com/photoshop/1.0/"> <tiff:ImageLength>4959</tiff:ImageLength> <tiff:ImageWidth>7013</tiff:ImageWidth> <tiff:ResolutionUnit>2</tiff:ResolutionUnit> <tiff:XResolution>600/1</tiff:XResolution> <tiff:YResolution>600/1</tiff:YResolution> <exif:PixelXDimension>7013</exif:PixelXDimension> <exif:PixelYDimension>4959</exif:PixelYDimension> <exif:ColorSpace>1</exif:ColorSpace> <photoshop:ColorMode>3</photoshop:ColorMode> <photoshop:ICCProfile>sRGB IEC61966-2.1</photoshop:ICCProfile> </rdf:Description> </rdf:RDF> </x:xmpmeta> <?xpacket end="r"?> The images were scanned at different times and I had to recreate the scan profiles as I set up a new pc, so perhaps something went awry. Could setting the scan monochrome "Density" to Auto, which is a option, give rise to the problem? And the original image could be set as "Text", "Text & photo", or "Photo" - I think all scans were done as "Text & Photo" My daughter worked so hard on this, so your help would be very much appreciated.

Image browser compatible with affinity photo
henryg replied to humpty dumpty's topic in Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
XnViewMP for me. Not ideal, but I've grown to like it. Very east to change file info too eg modified & exif dates etc . -

Interface - active tab
henryg replied to henryg's topic in Feedback for the Affinity V2 Suite of Products
I'm using the beta. Active tab identification is rubbish and has been so since AP first launched. Pretty sure I posted similarly years ago. -

I (still) find it far too difficult to identify the active tab (Photo) among the many I may have open. Why can't the active tab background or the text be a different colour (maybe green)? I can't find any setting to change this. To close the active tab, the only easy and reliable way I find is to use Ctrl-W.

But who would know it is there? You didn't and you seem to know pretty much everything (not sarcasm!). Maybe both, but certainly it should ask on install IMO.

And me. It's a PITA as is.
