Hi @Boppa very strange as I never tried to print from AD but make sure you create a print project them create artboard in it.
Also please study color theory and concept before printing.
If RGB is okay, I would suggest you make sure CMYK is selected it's even safe to work that way.
Other guys here surely have better astuces to fix this than I do.

@Cheesmeet please considère toi select the option "save with history"
It will generate a bigger file but at least you will keep all steps of you project And come back if needed.
Don't know if its possible with photo but you should consider to check "continuous" along with export.
Should be of great help in your workflow.

Quark has been on an aggressive update schedule since version 10. Some new features arrive during the version cycle as well. Idml import arrived with the last update to the 2017 version, for instance.
I feel that publishing applications are advancing as quickly as other categories.
Another layout application can only enhance the user experience. Competition keeps companies innovating. Which is great for us all.
Hi @MikeW I agree.
Serif devs should consider a bug reporting tool that will help us to send bug report so the team will sort them knowing they come from real source.
Question: the coming APub beta, will it be paid or free to try?
-
Hi everone, I like this place.
As we are all making ready for APub beta to surface this summer, there are sort of killing technics taking place out there.
Proof below.
Please make APub come with bug reporting tool so we can help you making it better.
The thing I've shared is a killing technic to ID

Hi Arnaud Mez
I'm moving/splitting this to an independent thread (in the Question section) since this is a different issue/subject. You have probably used a Devices type document which set a specific dpi's according to the Page Presets Devices and set ht edocument units to point. If you set the document type to Web this will not happen.
Hi @MEB thanks for your support.
The projects is pixel not points and I never chose x1,x2 etc... It was a straight forward project with nothing hard but AD reacted differently, I then had to proceed differently.
There is no big deal to me because I'm always trying new things but I just mind for others out there who can be discouraged with less than this case.
On my side, project was delivered and the output issue sorted, so I'm fine.

Hello Everyone
on my side too i recently realised a similar thing.
i was working on icon design for Android games to be released and found out that when exporting with the Export persona the size where automatically divided by 2.
An artboard set to 114x114 was actually saved at 57x57.
Couldn't understand this so i decided to make manual export using the "export" functionality in the file menu (not the export persona this time) and all went okay.
then i came back and adjusted things to be saved to fit with "retina" and now i had 2 exports one at 114(retina) and the second at 57(normal).
... but i would like to mention this never happened to me when i designed a facebook banner, the size i put for the banner was the size i got when exporting with "export persona" ... so it was troubling experience but at least it's good thing of having two ways to export our works and it's really life saving !
Thanks Serif, hope you will fix it and even make it better for our convenience.

Welcome to the Serif Affinity Forums, @DeBorahBeatty
However, we will be able to edit APub documents in Designer (or Photo).
Nice to read the last line.
Serif is really creating something unique here.
Will all 3 have the same file extension?
Are we going to see more file format in the export box?
-
Nice.
Thanks for sharing
-
For the time until the blend tool is released, is there a way to do the same kind of replica operation and have the same result without killing the keyboard?
-
Guys,
To me there is no vs.
Simply do your pixel works with Photo and add needed to Designer project.
Best teaming ever, no need to import just open and move on.
Cheers!

Guys !
Thanks a lot, you are of a great help.
in the same time i was thinking if one of these days, Graphic Design tools will become Nodal or stay with Layers.
Just asking myself in order to know if i have to prepare myself for knowledges and skill upgrade.
in past days it was the same into the Network and IT world (i worked as IT Tech for 12 years) and the announcement then the coming of IPV6 was such an utopia to many i know a lot of IT who never converted or upgraded their technical to understand this concept who actually can't be promoted or even work in structured environment.
So my question: Should we prepare for Nodes oriented graphic design tools to surface and take the lead or become the new way of working in Graphic Design ?
or maybe i'm just a big dreamer and nothing like that will never come to life.
-
Thanks guys but I will take it off here as I still have to learn how to animate designs created with products.
The day Fusion will support JSON created with Affinity is the day things will shine

DaVinci 15 includes the full version of Fusion so need to download and install both.
DaVinci 15 doesn't load on my Mac, so i just downloaded Fusion 9 Free and started playing with.
Later i will se how to import SVG or PSD created with AD or AP and see how to animate them.
Nodes are different than layers so it may take me a lot of time to figure it out and get the best ut of it. -
@Fatih19 would be great if Serif could allow export to compatible extension that works with Fusion.
I have downloaded Davinci 15 Free Edition for a test and will see if it does the job I want for text animation and products trailers.
Will also download Fusion 9 and see i can get the best of this one too, should be able to find a way to animate Designs made with AD with one or another and get good result.
-
Nice, i like that.
Could also include an option to save all plugins, styles, swatches and customized stuffs and allow us to restore our preferred config in case of software reinstall.
-
Maybe because of macros.
Disable any kind of antivirus and do again then list the downloaded folder in your AV whitelist.
Don't give up bro

I've wanted to keep all my projects in one topic, but I think it won't hurt if some of them get their own spot. So here's "Vacations in Paradise" - composition that I've just finished for some "Monthly Challenge"
(but mostly for fun). I'm actually proud of this one.
It was a little tricky to put the dog and a woman into the car (had to remove side mirror, mess with her arms, tinker with the perspective and windshield etc.), but apart from that, it went rather well. Took me about 3-4 hours. Enhanced with Color Efex Pro (Pro Contrast profile).
Really nice

And, for anyone who wanted Lasso node selection...
To use it, in the Node tool with a curve layer selected, you just hold Alt and either click to start polygon mode or drag to start free hand mode.
@Ben this is just ... Whoooooooooooow
Please there are few you can share just to prepare us, please do.Give me time to sit on my chair and grab my folk and spoon ... the food smells good since you have added this affinitizer

Hi Diederik,
Welcome to Affinity Forums
Affinity Photo only needs a 64-bit Core 2 Duo or better with 2GB RAM (minimum) so yes it should run without issues. Here's the minimum system requirements.
Although it runs without Open GL it's considerably slower without it.
Hi @MEB you meant it's much better to have a Mac with OpenGL which will help Affinity products run even better than what it does on Mac without OpenGL

À tune up of that tool will save life of many creators using Affinity products when needed to share or publish their work on portfolio or social networks.
I am curious about what else you need tweaking. Would you please explain what you mean?
Hi @p_Mac
I mean just to make it more user friendly and less technical than it is and how smart objects are.
Everyone should find it easy and fun to be used thus allowing anyone to not only be creative with his own design with mockup too.
I believe few designers would like to specialize on creating mockup base and make money selling it or just sharing to help others

I've never used smart objects. I see no need for what I use an image editor for.
I see., maybe a preference but it's really of great interest for a lot of graphic designers out there.
I have browsed a little bit and found that there is a tool already existing in both photo and designer that can make this possible but requires a particular attention to become usable.

Hi Guys!
This is nice one, I know everyone goes functionality but this one is also of a great necessity.
Will Affinity 1.7 offert possibilities to create mockups? Or should we wait another year?
I'm not talking smart objects but more focused on what is life saving for Graphic designer.
If no way to work on smart objects yet... Please put something will enable us to upgrade and do better.
It's not funny to design with Affinity then proceed with Photoshop when we try to not use it.

Would be nice if Serif could buy GraphicRiver with the winnings.
It would shift the Affinity ecosystem to another level.
This gents are very creative and Serif too, so....
