The title is a bit vague but the text of the OP clarifies:

The ‘Check for updates’ option on Windows is on the Help menu in the Affinity Store version, but it isn’t available in the Microsoft Store version.

That’s a feature (or a bug?) which was added in iOS/iPadOS 15. If you pull down the Search box and search for an app which is already on your Home Screen (or in a group on your Home Screen) you can add another icon for it. You can remove the extra icon just like any other icon: long-press on the background of the Home Screen (or the group) to make the icons wiggle, and then tap on the ‘-‘ button and choose the ‘Remove from Home Screen’ option from the menu that pops up.

For what it’s worth, Jef, I think they’re great value too! Even at full price it’s only $12 for the set, which already works out at less than 3 cents per brush.

Welcome back to the Serif Affinity Forums, Les. The RGB colour space has a much larger gamut (range of colours) than the CMYK colour space, so working in CMYK is the best way to avoid nasty surprises. In particular, brighter shades of orange and green are likely to be noticeably muted on conversion from RGB to CMYK.

Superb!!

You can only reduce the pixel count by throwing away information! Why not simply output at a high DPI/PPI setting?

I can’t imagine Serif ever stating unequivocally that they will not support it.

I don’t know whether there is such a list, but couldn’t you simply install the trial version and test the things that matter to you?

Affinity version 2 apps require macOS Catalina (version 10.15) or later. Affinity version 1 apps are no longer available.

In a word, yes. Ideally you should have an overlap of at least 20%, perhaps a little less for some types of image but often more than 25% for others. If the cut is reasonably straight, you should be able to simply put each image on its own layer and then butt the two layers up against each other.

Try it, you might be pleasantly surprised! My iPad is an Air 2, an old model that only just meets the minimum spec for the Affinity apps, but I’ve never noticed a problem unless I’m trying to edit (or even merely load) a document that has a humongous number of layers with multiple adjustments and/or filter effects.

Welcome back to the Serif Affinity Forums, @Estelle-. You can create a document directly at the required size: even if you’re planning to export to PDF, you would only need to consider scaling if one or both sides were more than 200 inches. (Textured brushes in Designer have vector paths, but the texture itself is raster and therefore won’t scale nicely.)

At the time of writing, the original post to this thread says “Edited 2 hours ago by j***@g***.com”.

There’s no pasteboard in any version of Affinity Photo on iPad or any other platform, but this isn’t unique to the Affinity products. It’s very common for image editors to have a canvas with no pasteboard. If you have Affinity Designer you can create artboards there and then use them in Photo. Otherwise, simply enlarge the Photo canvas to provide a ‘scratch’ area while you’re working on the project, and then shrink it down again when you’re finished.

Thanks, @pruus, that’s exactly what I thought you meant! For example, A4 portrait (210 mm × 297 mm) becomes A4 landscape (297 mm × 210 mm).

Interesting! I thought this pretty clearly implied a swap, especially when accompanied by an screenshot with a double-headed arrow added in:

No, this isn’t about linking. As per the topic title: In other words, changing between portrait and landscape while keeping the same dimensions.

That’s the View menu. ‘Preview Mode’ is one of the menu options and ‘Rulers’ is another, but rulers are a new feature in V2 of Affinity Designer for iPad.

Type an @ sign immediately followed by the first few characters of the username, and then click on the desired name from the list that appears. For example, if I type @its I get ‘itsRachel’ at the top of the list, and when I click on that entry I get @itsRachel in the message composition box. @Oufti @AlanPickup

Sorry, you do get it! In a case like this they don’t go all the way from the top to the bottom, as either a continuous line or a dashed line: as you observed, they’re rather short and subtle. I’m afraid I misspoke when I referred to “the page”: I should have said “the sheet”. So they’re like the little round marks between the left and right pages in your screenshots (except that, as you hinted, they should be more subtle).

Down the center/centre is the same as down the middle. In other words, from the top to the bottom of the page, halfway between the left-and right-hand edges.

Welcome to the Serif Affinity Forums, @shiatt733. If you followed the link in @MEB’s post to the other thread, you should have seen this: You need to make sure that the layer in your document is a ‘Pixel’ layer, not an ‘Image’ layer.

For future reference, AP is Affinity Photo. To avoid confusion when using abbreviations, it’s best to refer to Photo as APh and to Publisher as APu or APub. For future reference, the Windows version of the Mac App Store is the Microsoft Store.

Does APh support anything other than ‘effects’ plug-ins?
