I think you've answered your own question! :)

As far as I know, there are currently only two ways to do this. One is the way you have shown in your screenshot, starting a new line for each character. The other way is to type all of the characters on one line and then adjust the frame width so that it wraps to multiple lines: if you make the frame very narrow, you will get only one character on each line. If you're doing it the second way and you want spaces between groups of characters, you need to use non-breaking spaces (see attachment) so that the spaces don't disappear when you make the frame narrow enough for one character per line.

You would still have some distances for which the value is impossible to read at that particular magnification. Can't you just zoom in until it's big enough to read comfortably?

Or an insanely insane one! Complex drawings can have literally thousands of objects: I don't think it's generally useful, let alone practical, to have the software keep track of every little change to every single one of them.

Welcome to the Affinity Forums, battleooze. :) Which app are you using? I'm on Windows, so I only have the beta version of Affinity Designer, but I can set specific dimensions for a selected object via the controls on the Transform panel.

There's already a lot of motion blur in the photo. I'm not sure that adding any more would enhance the effect.

Agreed. It isn't clear whether the article author knew or not.

You and I know that, Mike, but the client in the story clearly didn't! ;)

Both ideas sound great to me, Enrique! Thank you so much for your generosity in sharing your tutorials and resources with us. :)

I guess it's all relative, but are any Ixus cameras really "cheap"? :unsure:

The way I read it, Mike, the DPI field is changed as you describe:

There's a great cautionary tale ("The Horrible DPI Mistake") on this page.

Please see my reply in your other thread.

You can perform a rectangular crop by selecting the image, choosing the Vector Crop Tool from the left-hand toolbar and then dragging on the handles that appear around the image. Alternatively, place a rectangle or other shape on top of the image, go to the Layers panel and drag the shape thumbnail on top of the image thumbnail.

Duplicate of this thread.

Affinity Designer certainly can import PSD files, although there may be some things it doesn't handle very well. I only have PS Elements (and I'm hardly what you could call a 'power' user) so I'm not too sure about the specifics. What kind of trouble, Ally? Do you get any error messages?

Thanks, Chris! :)

I've now reported the issue here.

As discussed here, the Cog Tool 'Teeth' control on the Context toolbar seems to have a maximum value of 48 in AD on Windows beta 1.5, but not in AD on Mac.

IMNSHO, Serif have already alienated many loyal customers by ceasing development of their 'Plus' range of software. I suspect that the proportion of Serif's established user base who want to "dump all Windows stuff" is quite small. An Affinity Publisher which matches the current capabilities of Serif PagePlus looks like being several years away, so a few extra months' wait for APub on Mac won't change things much.

Sorry about that, Mark! Don't you get an error report automatically when the user restarts the app after a crash? :o

Nope. I tried that: it doesn't want to play. :(

Ingenious, but in my AD on Windows beta version the 'Teeth' control on the Context toolbar seems to have a maximum value of 48. Is there some trick that would allow me to override that limit?

I think I would lose count long before I reached 59! The beauty of doing it the way I did is that you can do it visually instead of having to count anything, but there's the obvious drawback that you don't get those nice coloured sections. It shows up fine for me. :)

Don't worry about the fact that the controls on the Context toolbar display everything rounded to whole numbers! I created a pie slice with a start angle of 0° and an end angle of 360/366°, duplicated it and set the rotation of the copy to 360/366°. When I 'power duplicated' the rotated copy to create 364 more rotated copies, I ended up with a complete circle (and got a lovely moiré pattern into the bargain).
