All of the time, or only now and zen?

Alternatively, you can simply re-enter the number that you see. If it looks like (say) 25 pixels and you enter 25 in the box, it will then be exactly 25 even if it was originally 25.0002.

When you try to leave the Liquify Persona after making changes, you get (or you should get!) a warning about uncommitted changes.

Check that the pixel dimensions are whole numbers (so you know they won’t be rounded up) and check that your artwork is aligned to the pixel grid.

Draw some horizontal lines, switch to the Liquify persona and experiment! At the risk of stating the obvious, start with a cat picture and add lots of extra eyes.

Are you using macOS Mojave? There seems to be an ongoing issue with the Help in that particular OS version.

Give it some whiskers, a pair of ears, a body and a tail. How do you do which cats?? Please, please, please choose one project, give it your best shot, and then post your *.afphoto or *.afdesign file together with a brief description of what you’re struggling to do next.

Bullets and numbering are definitely going to be added, but apparently not linked text frames. I’ll be surprised and disappointed if text warp isn’t included in the vector mesh warp feature which has been promised for an AD 1.x update.

In this particular instance, since you’ve posted to the ‘Affinity on iPad Questions’ forum there was no need for clarification about the platform, and we already knew which app because you asked: For an unfilled shape, select the shape in question and tap on the ‘No Fill’ swatch (white with a blue diagonal line) in the Colour Studio.

As I’ve pointed out before, if you need to clarify an existing post it’s better to edit that post instead of creating a new one. Anyway, @v_kyr has already given you step-by-step instructions like these: Try it! Post your result when you’ve finished, or post your *.afphoto file (not a JPEG or PDF) if you get stuck along the way.

In the iPad version of Designer, I’ve found that I need to be in the correct persona before I import a brush file. In the desktop version it simply isn’t available until you switch to the correct persona, but on iPad it doesn’t show up at all. I’ve just imported the stroke brushes into AD on iPad, and they work fine for me.

If it’s a new computer it’s probably running 64-bit Windows 10, in which case the installer with automatically give you the 64-bit version of PPX9. That version won’t be able to open files created with 32-bit versions such as PagePlus 8.0 PDF Edition, so you would need to run the installer again — leaving the 64-bit installation in place — and use the option to install the 32-bit version. The two versions will happily coexist on your system, but (because they share a single set of application data) you can’t run them both at the same time. PagePlus Starter Edition is no longer available and Starter Edition keys can no longer be retrieved online, so if you’ve kept an old copy of the installer but you don’t have a record of the product key you won’t be able to install it.

Have I tried what, John? Posting to CommunityPlus (CP) in general, or getting help with old ‘Plus’ files in particular? I’m a frequent CP user, but I don’t often use the ancient versions of the ‘Plus’ applications.

You’re welcome. The first set is vector, so it can only be used in Affinity Designer.

Sign in to your Affinity account and go to the Downloads & product keys page where you’ll find a download link together with your product key. For any given platform (Windows, Mac or iPad) a single-user licence allows you to install the software on any computer that you own or control, as long as no one else is using the app for commercial purposes.

Try here:

Yes, it is only available for Windows, but the OP is a Windows user. A lifetime licence for FastStone Capture costs US$19.95. If you’re willing to make do with the last free version before it became shareware, you can download it from here.

Version 1.7 of Affinity Photo for iPad has just been made available for beta testing. I wouldn’t be surprised if Affinity Designer for iPad follows suit quite soon.

Welcome to the Serif Affinity Forums, Bruce. Questions about PagePlus and Serif’s other ‘legacy’ applications should be posted here.

None that I’m aware of, as long as they’re OpenType, TrueType, or PostScript Type 1. <pedantry> It isn’t Lucinda, it’s Lucida (as in ‘lucid’). A very common mistake! </pedantry>

I suspect that 2 GB is fine as long as you don’t have two browsers and a dozen other apps all running at the same time!

Brilliantly well done, as usual. And once again, cleverly averting the need to draw any feet....

Thanks, Paul. I got there eventually, after powering off and back on again. I think I was simply bumping up against the limitations of the 2 GB memory in my iPad Air 2, not helped by a rather sluggish Internet connection.

No, you can’t insert any numbers. I agree that it could/should be much more flexible, but at least you don’t have to go up to the Edit (‘...’) menu and tap twice to access the option.

Affinity Photo for iPad has a ‘Duplicate’ option on the menu bar that appears when you long-press on the canvas. Perhaps this will be added to Designer in the next version.
