I am using Affinity Publisher version 2.5.5 on macOS 14.6.1. While creating a new file for a magazine or similar project, I utilize the "facing pages" and "bleed" options. However, when exporting the file as a PDF, some images positioned at the center (where the two facing pages meet) experience misalignment and undesirable results due to the bleed settings. Unfortunately, the only solution I’ve found is to avoid using the bleed option entirely, but there must be another way to address this issue. Or is this a bug? When performing the same tasks with InDesign, there are no such problems. I’ve attached a short video to help illustrate the issue more clearly. I would greatly appreciate your assistance in resolving this matter, as I want to continue using the bleed feature. Thank you in advance for your help. Edit: I’ve also included a sample project for you to test. Timeline 1.mp4 Test.zip

I'm using a 2013 Mac Pro and a Dell U2715H monitor. This setting is not showing for me. Also, the Hardware Acceleration setting doesn't work either. Unfortunately I'll be going back to Photoshop. Because I'm tired of drinking coffee while I wait.

Affinity Photo opens very slowly. I can advise you to prepare coffee until it opens.

With the release of macOS 12.3 (21E230), Affinity Photo's opening speed became 2x slower.

Thanks. Yes. I am using the Mac App Store version. I logged in with the Guest account on my computer with macOS Monterey 12.0.1 (21A559). Affinity Photo opens in just 10 seconds. Then I created a new user and tried again. The problem is fixed. It boots up in 10 seconds. I guess that's a normal time, right?

Thank you very much for your support. I also tried the beta version. I got a screen recording showing boot times. No change, no speed difference. I present to your information. As you can see in the video, it opens in 18 seconds in both versions. 01.mp4 02.mp4

Yes.

Thanks. I tried what was described in the link you shared. But it didn't work. Mac Pro, 64 GB Ram MacOS Monterey 12.0.1 (21A559)

I have a same issue with MacOS Monterey 12.0.1 (21A559) Mac Pro 2013 64 GB Ram

Affinity Photo was once very fast. However, unfortunately, with each new version, it slows down with the opening speed. Every time I open the app, it bounces on the Dock 10-15 times. Then I think it gets stronger and decides to open up.

Hi, Thank you very much for your help.

A Very Weird Problem. Couldn't find name. You can see the sample file attached. You can see the problem by watching the video. macOS Mojave 10.14.6 (18G103) Mac Pro 2013 AMD FirePro D500 3 GB Bug.mp4 Deep_Sea.afphoto

OOO that's great. You saved me from paying $29. Thank you.

I finally found the solution I was looking for. Maybe Affinity will buy it and give it as a gift It's a small program, but it does a great job: RTL Fixer

Thanks. There is a Python project called Arabic Resharper for this problem. Affnity Development Team can review these codes and maybe learn how to fix this problem.
