Thanks for your help. I have a workaround: 1. Create a transparent rectangle the same size as the bleed area 2. Add an inside border the same width as the bleed area 3. Make the border colour the same as the background workspace colour 4. Place the rectangle layer at the top of the layers stack to cover any underlying layers Remember to turn off the layer before exporting Paul M

Hi Is it possible to show the bleed line of a document but not the contents in the bleed area? If I go to View - show bleed I see the bleed line but also the contents in the bleed area what I would like is to see the line only. Affinity designer V1 Thanks

If the problem is the Apple app store version of the apps, what might save the day, is if all version V1 users and V2 users who have purchased from the Apple app store can download there apps from Serif for free.

Hi I have figured out what causes it to happen. If you look at the mov file I click on the layer effects then the gradient overlay then choose the colour I then close the colour picker and gradient popup box before closing the layer effects panel. If I don't close these and close the effects panel then the problem occurs as you can see later in the mov Thanks Paul affinity-designer issue.mov

Hi Thanks Here is a quicktime screen recording. As you can see I can click on the checkboxes but not select an effect affinity designer effects menu fault.mov

Hi I add some effects using the layer effects, lets say gradient overlay. The layer tells me I have effects. when I click on the effects the effects link the effects panel is displayed. I click on gradient overlay in the effects panel but the edit panel on the right does not populate. The only way to get it to work is to restart affinity designer only to have the problem happen again after a few minutes. Thanks Paul mac os running Monteray

Much appreciated thankyou PaulM

Hi If I press on the option key I can zoom in and out of the document with mouse but if I press the command key by mistake and then use the mouse it rotates the document. How can I stop, this or at least return to an horizontal position? Thanks Paul M

Hi Dave Is the load time still around 3 seconds after you have rebooted your machine? Thanks Paul M

I notice that when I start my computer and open an affinity app it takes about 40 seconds to load. if I close the app but keep the computer on then reopen the app again it takes about 4 seconds to load. It is the same for all affinity apps Mac running Big Sur

Thank you for the quick reply Paul M

Hi After booting up my mac I then click on any of the affinity programs and they take almost a minute to open. If I the close the program and click to open again it opens really quick. any ideas on how to fix this? latest versions of affinity software and using Big Sur
