Thanks. :) I'm probably showing my age here, but I always rather liked Patrick Troughton. :blink: Have we gone off topic yet? :unsure: :P

That should, of course, be "Who was The Doctor who said that" (i.e. without the question mark)! :P

I'm sure you're right, Mike, but I just couldn't resist making a comment about the apparent connection between screaming and 'MrBlueFace'. ;)

I recall reading about CMYKOG or 'Hexachrome', which was designed to combat precisely that problem by adding orange and green inks to the usual cyan, magenta, yellow and black inks used in standard four-colour process printing. Could this be a reference to "screaming until you're blue in the face"? :P

That can work moderately well for sans-serif fonts, but it tends to yield rather poor results for serif fonts. In both cases, adding a stroke will increase the weight, so I don't see how it would help the OP to reduce the weight of the chosen font.

It wouldn't be a surprise if they told us! ^_^

... apart from quiet amusement if you decide that the user has done something silly! :P

Affinity Publisher hasn't been released yet, which is why I wrote "might expect to see". The public beta version is due later this year, but the finished retail version probably won't be available before next year (2018).

That video is now out of date, of course. The current euro price of a Tier 50 product is 54,99 €.

Welcome to the Serif Affinity Forums, GainsboroughPark. :) It is by design that the 'Save' and 'Save As...' options only save to the native *.afphoto format. If you want to export your work to PDF or a standard image file format, choose the 'Export...' option.

Welcome to the Serif Affinity Forums, EddieP. :) These forums are intended for posts relating to the apps in the Affinity Suite. For questions about Serif PagePlus, please post to the PagePlus section of the CommunityPlus Forum. Please note that if you're using the latest (and last) version of the program, it's PagePlus X9. PagePlus 9 (without the 'X') is more than a dozen years older.

You can't run it as a portable app, if that's what you mean. You need to install it (subject to the licensing restrictions, of course) on each computer where you want to run it.

Serif did have ImpactPlus, but they abandoned it nearly a decade ago. Me too neither!

In other words, this post. ^_^

Welcome to the Serif Affinity Forums, jangok. :) Tables and simple spreadsheet functions sound like something we might expect to see in Affinity Publisher.

A public beta test of Affinity Publisher is expected later this year. I think it would be highly unusual for any software developer to involve members of the public at the alpha stage.

Yes, but ... does Kevin deserve a medal? :P

A long one with a spelling mistake, and a short one without....

Affinity Publisher will be a page layout app, but the similarity between it and Adobe InDesign (or Serif's very own and long-established PagePlus) probably ends there. We've been warned to expect that the first release of APub will be fairly basic. Although Serif's intention to include a page layout app to the Affinity suite was announced pretty early on, the first announcements about its expected release date were wildly optimistic and they're being much more cautious now. I think some users have been wrongly assuming that the developers who are working on the Windows versions of Affinity Designer and Photo could have been contributing to the development of Publisher for the Mac.

Although the OP mentioned Serif PhotoPlus, I think MEB was describing an option which is only available for organizational layers in Affinity Designer. Like PhotoPlus, Affinity Photo only seems to allow us to create new layers as empty pixel layers, not organizational layers.

In a word, no. (OK, so that was four words, and it's even more now, but the answer is still the same!)

One of the devs or their QA colleagues may be along at some point this weekend, but you could try emailing support@seriflabs.com if you prefer not to depend upon getting a reply here.

Welcome to the Serif Affinity Forums, wheelhot. :) No, there isn't even an ETA for Affinity Publisher, so if I were you I wouldn't hold my breath!

Try installing the latest driver from the XP-Pen web site, as recommended in the OP to this thread.
