*unattached Try compressing the file and attaching the resultant *.zip archive here. That’s almost guaranteed to work (although it does mean, of course, that anyone wishing to view the video will have to download the archive and extract the MP4 file from it, instead of simply viewing it directly in the browser).

What are the format and filename extension of the file that you’re attaching (or rather, trying to attach)?

Can you give a numerical example? ‘Power duplicate’ has never had an arithmetic progression option (which would allow e.g. 100, 80, 60, 40, 20). If you duplicate a circle of diameter 100 px and set the diameter of the the duplicate to 80 px, power duplicating will give you a geometric progression where each new diameter is 80% of the previous one: 100, 80, 64, 51.2, 40.96.

The “bottom menu”? In APh on iPad?? Edit: I overlooked the fact that we’re discussing version 1 of APh, not version 2. That corresponds to only 10 px/cm, which is an extremely low print resolution for anything less than billboard size. I think we have some missing and/or conflicting information which is getting in the way of providing helpful answers.

When I looked for that photo (Metallica frontman James Hetfield on stage in 2022) online just now, I found it labelled as “© Getty”. Knowing how fiercely Getty protects their copyright, you would be well advised to avoid commercial use of the image without permission.

A cm size of 61.22 × 34.79 for an image whose pixel dimensions are 2314 × 1315 implies a DPI value of 96, which is rather low for printing.

When I follow the link I see this: (Even the edited version posted here should probably carry a NSFW warning.)

That’s better! It still has a ‘fbclid’ parameter (presumably a tracker from FB) but at least it’s more direct than the original link. Nice brushes, by the way.

Instead of taking me directly to the Etsy page at https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/GSeawardArt your link points to the following Facebook URL: https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.etsy.com%2Fuk%2Fshop%2FGSeawardArt%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR3I9BQCQAQmmubKLKW7JRR8hFXyVRx7hBIaPF0R9Usxsl6kK-JrfmJJlPQ&h=AT2WrZ4ufYzRbFUY4svk0TCvoKTGntcefy0D8j_jTXBWdMn7LvIDcZ8MekCdcWol-5calE-rWIvROtEs-8UITodBJ4_MxW9NpTFscNiU2-IavbFfuQN_icr1qY8dht8A_S77FnI&__tn__=-UK*F&c[0]=AT0EKTP5r8XrH7g8nj47yi8DaYHUk47ISSNYmbiVQqBl1MK9GkHA7Ct9C-MNi5F5x4PhcEnVCKeKWFEvSeQVw5yoczR2bv2KX1IZV_KI-p9adrjMfnUiwLrJiAYgm6SNM1f0nnncJoKyC3RGXjS85I581nH_1JFXb6ibF35WmsV5GDIQcJVM6XdgrecqU3fafsc_mopNm5TR

Were the ruler units and the document DPI the same for all three drawings?

The “Unique Selling Point” of the Affinity suite is the shared file format. Try opening your *.afpub file directly in Affinity Designer: you should find that the pages of the APub document are exportable separately from there.

Did somebody say “soapbox”?

You must have been watching a tutorial for the desktop version. The iPad version can’t detect hover events, so there’s no cursor to indicate the text entry mode: you just have to tap on the curve with the Artistic Text Tool active, which should convert the curve to a path with start and end handles (coloured green and orange, respectively).

Artboards can indeed reside at fractional pixel locations (and whenever they do, the pixel dimensions of the objects they contain will increase on export).

If you’re using physical document units (e.g. inches or cm) and you want it to appear on screen as it will appear on paper, use ‘Actual Size’. For a document where the units are pixels, one pixel on screen will correspond to one pixel in the document, so setting the view zoom to 100% will make the document display at its exact pixel size.

But it’s clear that the Photo persona *doesn’t* inherently have that capability, otherwise it would be there when Publisher … er … plugs into it.

Doesn’t the Photo Persona of Affinity Photo only support plugins because they plug in to the app containing that persona? If it can be argued that Publisher ‘contains’ the personas which are available via StudioLink, it seems logical to me that Publisher itself would need to provide support for plugins.

How would that work? Publisher doesn’t support Photoshop plugins, so I don’t see how it could be expected to make them available via its StudioLink feature.

Affinity Designer has a Designer persona, a Pixel persona, and an Export persona. The StudioLink feature in Affinity Publisher only provides access to the the first one of those three (and similarly, Affinity Photo has Photo, Liquify, Develop, Tone Mapping, Export, and Panorama personas, but StudioLink only provides access to the Photo persona).

For “respectively” read “or (to be more precise)”. It’s a common — but rather unhelpful! — translation of the German abbreviation „bzw.“ („beziehungsweise“) which may well apply to other languages, too. [Hint for non-native English speakers: “scooby doo” rhymes with “clue”.]

Can’t you work around that by copying the files and then renaming the copies?

For reasons that I’ve never understood, even if your artboards are exactly 128x128 pixels each the exported width and/or height will be one pixel more for any artboards that are not aligned to the pixel grid.

(a) In the context of forum discussions, the terms “topic” and “conversation” are interchangeable for me. When would new posts in this thread, for example, constitute a new conversation? (b) Why give the forum software a load of natural language to process, rather than simply choosing a few relevant search terms such as move asset category?

I can’t check right now, but I think you should find that you can add to the current selection by holding down the Shift key while you draw another selection outline.
