I purchased Affinity Photo 2 for Windows on Jan 23. I downloaded the file, but it will not install. I get the message "file type not supported."
I have sent help several requests to affinity Support since then and only get the message to expect a reply w/i 24 hours. I have not gotten a reply yet.
How can I install this product??
btw I am using Windows 7--could that be the problem?

Thanks to Tudor for the very simple & elegant solution posted above.

Yes, removing the inner bleed is possible in facing pages--but I then have to convert to single pages to create the PDF I submit to the printer. When I switch off "facing pages" to create the single page file, the bleed is removed on the left side of ALL pages, odd and even, messing up the centering. When "facing pages" is turned off, the bleed setup is right, left, top, bottom--but what I need it to be is the same as you get with facing pages turned on: top, bottom, inner & outer.
Or: I need to be able to export facing page PDFs into single page documents...Can that be done??
Thanks!

The printer is asking me to eliminate the inner bleed. But the software is not letting me do that for docs with multiple pages. In facing page spread setup I can unlock the bleeds & change "inner" bleed to 0--but if I then switch off "facing pages" the bleed is removed from the left side of both odd and even pages, and now the bleed setup only gives me the option of removing left or right side bleeds for the entire multi-page file--when what I need is the option to remove the INNER bleed so the trim is made consistently throughout the document.

...Affinity will let you do a stroke around the font and do drop shadows.
How do I access those features?
Thanks!
-
I would like to be able to put borders or shadows around individual letters, change font colors--generally, I'm looking for ways to alter & jazz up a font beyond being limited to italicizing and bolding.
Thanks!
-
Is there a utility within Affinity Pub. they would let me add borders or shadows to fonts, or a resource for acquiring more artistic fonts than the ones available on my computer?

I opened Affinity Photo; it notified me of the 1.7.3 update. I downloaded it, and opened it. After it opens, it gives 2 options: Repair, and uninstall. So I click "Repair." It does some business and asks me to click "finish," which I do. But when I re-open Photo, I'm still in the earlier version.
How do I get the new version to take??
Thanks, in advance!

I opened Affinity Photo on my Windows machine just now and was prompted to download the latest update.
But when I open Affinity Photo on my Mac I do not get this automatic prompt. How do I go about updating my Mac version?
-
I switched from a Mac to a Windows OS. That would explain it...Can anyone tell me how to get these fonts into my system? I'm using Windows 7, Microsoft Word.
Thanks!

Publisher Beta version 1.7.0.293 that I installed April 22 lacks two fonts earlier versions had: Chalkduster and Optima.
How can I get these fonts back? I had used them in a 140pp doc I created last fall in earlier versions. I really like these fonts and need them in order to update & print my existing project as well as use them in future projects.
Thanks in advance for responding!

Are you saying that you want to have some images in color and some in black-and-white, and have the b&w ones just use grays?
That won't do the trick. For the printer (machine) to recognize selected pages within a mixed project as b&w, the whole page has to be grey-scale. But the way one sets a document up, as far as I can determine, the whole thing has to be specified either some form of color, or some form of grey-scale.
So, I'm asking if I'm missing something, that there is a way to format selected pages within a single doc as being either entirely color or b&w.
Thanks!

My question is whether it is possible, in a project having photographs on almost every page, to format it for mixed color and b&w printing, the main objective being to keep cost down. I learn, talking with a printer, that the b&w pages must have grey scale specified rather than full 4-color black specs embedded in the PDF. Otherwise, the machine being printed on will recognize the pages as full color even though the images are b&w. As long as each page is formatted either grey-scale or cmyk, the printer will recognize that & charge accordingly.
It appears, looking at "Document Setup" that the only option is to select either color or grey-scale for the entire document. Can someone tell me if there is a way I can select particular pages in a document for grey-scale instead of color?
Thanks, in advance, from a total newbie!

Actually it is bug. Currently you can update the default wrap border by setting it on a shape and then using Edit > Defaults > Synchronise From Selection (or the equivalent toolbar button). It should also update automatically when you edit the wrap settings. I'll log it to be fixed.
This approach is a bit cumbersome, but it seems to work. Tho I've never been clear the specific moment to activate "synchronise from selection." I put in my distances, then hit "synchronise," then close the text wrap box. I think that is right...

I have a similar issue. When I create a new spread doc I get the first and last pages listed as 'single page' before the pages i nbetween are all shown as 'two-page' spreads.
This is fine but when I tick 'Facing' check box after creating a single page document it groups all the pages into two page spreads.
I have a doc whereby graphics flow across all the pages and I need to check that they all lineup correctly ahead of print. I'd like the option to view any two pages side by side, with or without the 'centre-page' bleed. At the moment I can't see an easy way to do this.
Perhaps if you change the start page from right to left?

But thankfully there is this option in the Text Frame palette called "Ignore Text Wraps" which you can activate on this frame you don't want to get wrapped.
This is an essential tool, for instance, for appending captions to photos!
-
I am unable to find a way to set my text wrap distance preferences so that I don't have to adjust them every time from the very low or zero settings that appear when I use this function.

Oops - I did not realize there were more tools.
Thanks, Walt!

I downloaded the latest Beta today & see that in "View" the "Hide All" button (for bleed, guides, margins, +3 more) is no longer present. Is there some way I can restore this?
This is a really useful option; now I have to activate or deactivate each one separately, a time consuming nuisance.
-
Text Wrap icons are gone from the latest (1.7.0.140) Beta download!
How do I restore them to the Toolbar? I go to View>Customize Toolbar--but the Text Wrap icons are not there.

I can do what you say with a new document. Are you trying to do this retroactively to existing two page spread documents.
Yes - retroactively. Actually, I think my original margins remain - but I'm seeing a purple border I believe represents margin, and it is not right...

Have you tried on Document setup to uncheck the Facing pages?
That worked - thanks!
Using this on an existing series of spreads, all my text and images are still there; however, I find every page now has the same margin settings. What I want is a wider margin at the center of opposing pages.
I thought I would create a right hand and left hand master & apply those where appropriate, but I seem to be unable to create a pair single page masters with differing margin settings. I want a left hand master with 5/8" (.625") margins except 1" on the right side, and a right hand master with 5/8" margins except 1" on the left side. whenever I try to put the 1" margin on the left or right, all the other settings revert...
Any suggestions?
