Is there meanwhile a solution in 1.8x? The previous posts are detours, not a solution ;) if you worked with actual DTP apps. Publishing needs reasonable solutions for character and paragraph styles. This is the most important part of a DTP app. It would be good when developers in programming get help from Graphic designers :)

Yes, I can edit the layer by double clicking on it with the Move tool. The result is unusable. For info: It's a purchased mockup from Envato, no freeware from the web. In PS it works perfectly. I guess there's still some work to do ;) Thanks for your time.

If this is activated, the layers lie all over the place, not where they need to be. If it is not activated, the layers are correct, but I can' t get to the source … No matter how I do it, it doesn't work.

macOS Catalina, Photo 1.8.1 How does it work to edit PSD SmartObjects? I've been trying for hours, I can't get a view of the source file. Double click, double click + Alt … If I double click on the layer as usual in PS, the layer is zoomed. Not the source, just the modified mask with all processed perspectives. Double click + Alt zooms the content of the mask (without background), but unfortunately again not the source file. Short, it does not work, I cannot replace a modified, perspective distorted version. Is there a detailed description how to edit SmartObjects, I can't find anything about it except two videos at YT. I work in PS for many years dozens of purchased mockups; with photo I need a detailed explanation. And, what about the SmartObjects settings (General) in the preferences? I've tried everything, I can't do it. Need help!

I would like to have an outline / offset path function. The time-consuming workaround via expand stroke is not a solution. It would be nice if this would apply in ver. 1.9, in 1.8 it was apparently still too unpopular? Maybe a question for the forum? Who would like an outline / offset path function?

My experience after a macOS clean install and a new installation of the Affinity Apps: No problems, the applications must not be deactivated.

I need to do a macOS clean install. I have all Affinity Apps, 2x AppStore and 1x macOS. My question, do I have to deactivate the Apps so that I can reinstall them afterwards?

I've just noticed that no different page sizes are possible. It is not only needed for books. More often it is used for folders (Tri-Fold), the last (first) page is always smaller, eg 100 / 100 / 97 mm (EU). Work on it, Serif!

When I create a new project in Publisher, where can I find the familiar style 'Normal' from InDesign and QuarkXPress, with which I can set the character / paragraph style for the project. The styles that exist when creating a new project I don't need. They have to be cleared every project. Can I decide to start only with Normal, the rest I do as I need it? But the main question is up

If I paint in Photo (macOS) with the brush in white on a selected mask nothing is displayed. Why?

Tables does not exist in Designer. Is there any other way to add a background color to text? I have to create an HTML table, formatting as shown in the photo, in Designer. I want to do it in Designer, not by using other Apps! https://i.imgur.com/wT6ITse.png

Thanks telemax, that was very helpful! Just a question about the functionality: Is it also possible to modify existing layer masks?

I'm unable to do it. Is there a manual, a video? Anything where I see the order of the steps?

Cmd+R ? This separates the mask from the layer, shows the content alone and the rest of the document transparently. What else?

I have no Replace Image. The original file (layer masks) is from Photoshop CS6. I placed the layer with the second photo to the right of the layer icon (LG Display) with the mask, so it came into the mask. But how do I get it out of there without removing the mask?

I have in Photo Desktop 1.7.2 a photo with several layer masks. In each of the layer masks I have placed another photo. Now I have to replace one of these photos in one of the layer masks. When I remove the photo, the layer mask is also deleted. How do I replace a photo in a layer mask without removing the layer mask? How do I add a new photo?

When I do a JPEG export in Photo, the default setting is: Recalculate "Bilinear". I mostly use "Bicubic", so I always change the attitude again and again. Can I change the default setting in Photo to Bicubic? Then I don't have to adjust it every time I do an export.

It's not the same, it takes time, but it's a good tip how to do it! Maybe the developer of Logo Package Express would like to write a module for AD. For a logo designer this is a huge relief, for the client it saves money.

I love Logo Package Express, it has saved me countless hours of time. What alternatives are available for Designer?

I can't find it before I change the Language to English. The german translation is: Show Snapping Candidates: Nur an sichtbaren Objekten ausrichten (means: Align only to visible objects) The translation didn't do well for me. Thanks for your help.

I can't find that. Is it in the settings?

When I mark an object with the cursor, the frame is purple. When I leave the object, the purple outline remains. If I click on a second, third object, they also get a purple outline until the whole page / objects has purple outlines ... It doesn't change if I do cmd + Y, the outline stays purple. Only when I close the file and open it again the purple frames are gone, ... until I select an object. Then it starts again in Pink. Do I have something wrong in the settings? Where does the purple come from, why does it stay purple even if an object is not selected? So it looks like when I click on an object, and a second (without shift): Mac Pro 2018, 64 RAM, AMD FirePro D700 AD 1.7.1 Desktop, macOS 10.13.6

I can't use any of this. I can't apparently convey what I need. And it's so incredibly simple. And you make it so complicated ;) with batch process ... I don't need that, just a simple change of the width for one photo.

such a simple thing so complicated ... and it doesn't work either. I need to create a separate macro with 7 steps for each ratio (!?). I'm quicker if I do it manually via "Resize document". Why surely such a simple thing (image width (not height)) can' be written in a macro? I miss Photoshop ;) Thanks for trying to help.

An example: Image width: I have photos with different ratios: 4:3 and 3:2. I need the photos to have a width of 1000 px. The 4:3 photo has a size of 4000 x 3000 px, proportionally resulting a height of 750 px by a width of 1000 px = 1000 x 750 px. The 3:2 photo has a size of 4000 x 2667 px, proportionally resulting a height of 667 px by a width of 1000 px = 1000 x 667 px. What's the problem now? I want a macro in which I only have the picture width, e.g. 1000 px. The height should stay proportionally. Recording the image width will record the height also. I don't want that, I want it to remain proportinal.
