As an InDesign user trying to transfer over to Affinity there are a few differences but the one thing I find really frustrating is colouring text. Normally in the CMYK Colour sliders most programmes allow tabbing from C to M and Y then K, but affinity allows the first colour (Cyan) to be inopiutn but when tabbing to the next colour (Magenta) it changes the actual text in the document to whatever numeral is input in the Magenta slider. Am I doing something wrong here? One more thing which really annoys me is the old Microsoft issue of making black text RGB - can. you not move away from this ridiculous idea and make it simply 100% Black? Working in the print trade this is the most annoying issue withy stuff that comes from Microsoft, please Affinity do not fall into this groove?

Keep getting this error. Help anyone?

IT may well be that this is something you cannot do with AP. I suppose really it is not that important. Thanks for your help anways.

When copying from Infinity Publisher and pasting into Photoshop, Photoshop creates a window to place the file from the original size it has been used within the file copied from. With images from other software the window created by Photoshop would be 300dpi, but the image is lower resolution - from what has been explained to me that would be 96dpi± You can see comparison here in screenshot - left is hi-res in Publisher - right hand is image copied into Photoshop from Publisher.

I understand the filter, what I did not completely understand was why or how Publisher differs from InDesign (not for comparison sake only) to understand how Infinity Publisher handles files). It is so different from InDesign (what I am so used to) . . . it would take quite a journey to understand or learn the complexities of this new software. I have appreciated help, but it has made me reluctant to continue seeking the help if the treatment would be so negative my some.

Well that is something I have learned today. Thank you. Have spend years creating .psd files. . . . why the low res when pasted in Photoshop which was my main question - sorry got lost along the way? The original .psd image was a little larger I think at 300dpi, so why is there only 96dpi? I really apologise for the length of this conversation, but the main thing I do not understand is this: If I copy a .psd linked file from within InDesign and paste into Photoshop it appears as hi-res. If I do this in Publisher it appears as low res.

Mike, I have worked in this trade for too many years to accept that tiffs HAVE transparent background - you make the whole image transparent, but that's it in my understanding. The .psd file has transparent background with an on screen tiff preview . . . see screenshot . . . the file on the left is a .tiff and the right hand side is a .psd with a tiff preview.

Walt and Mike, the images you can see - in page 2 (see screenshot attached)n are .psd files - THEY ARE DEFINIETLY .psd files because tiff's don't have transparent backgrounds?? I am not being confrontational here, I have waited ages for Publisher, having been an InDesign users for many, many years - and maybe I am not getting the way Publisher works yet, but these ARE .psd files so why does the resource manage call them tiffs? Or could it be a tiff PREVIEW? HELP!

Sorry, I think I might have missed you reply to this?

Now I am confused, you will need to explain this further. The page I created as a hi-res pdf for print contained 8 .psd files. The page would be "flattened" for the printers according to their specs. When Publisher opened the pdf it shows the images as .psd files NOT JPEGs. Did you copy the image and paste it into Photoshop?

Here is the image extracted from Publisher and pasted into Photoshop. No tell me that is NOT a .psd file that has come out of the pdf file. IMAGE COVER.psd

OK here is the page - open the pdf in Publisher and you will understand. The particular file I copied and pasted to check was the "Grouping Britain's Railways" Open the pdf in Publisher and then you can see that the image IS a .psd file that was used in the pdf and IS high res. try copying and pasting into Photoshop to recreate my issue. 578 BACKTRACK OCTOBER 2018.pdf

Sorry to sound harsh, but you are in error when you suggest that pdf files usually do not contain psd files. This particlular pdf does and when I open in Publisher - it is hi-res. I copy the image from Publisher to Photoshop and it is low res . . . . I am happy to send the pdf in a link if it helps understand. It is a little sensitive as it is an advert page for a magazine at present in print.

Just tried with updated Beta and still same issue. BD(

Don't understand this, but when I open a hi-res pf file and copy a .psd image from within it and paste it into Photoshop it ALWAYS pastes as a low res image. What do I need todo to keep the resolution? Capodastra
