Thomaso - my fault for using the wrong words. I am referring, throughout this post, to the "Ignore Text Wrap" feature in the Frame text drop down menu, NOT the actual text wrapping, which of course I have used for years now. Anyway, not to take up anybody's time anymore. Thank you for your response.

Hi Garry, sorry, but I must be missing something here. In the Page_one file the text goes on the Image quite happily; in the PageOne_InHousePrint_V3 the text does not go over the image. BUT, they are BOTH doing this with the Text Wrap setting UNCLICKED. Theoretically in this case thePage_one file text should NOT be visible, according to the fact that in neither case is the Text wrap setting set to ignore.

hi Garry, back quicker that I thought possible. I had to retrieve an older version with some original images, unfortunately I can not replicate anything. BUT, this particular image was a culprit - however as you can see, I can type text and place it on top of the image no problem. As for workflow with A.Photo. Sometimes need to edit the image in A,photo that can not be done in publisher, sometimes need to edit the original image freshly loaded into A.photo independently, however when this issue did occur of not being able to add text on top of the image (not often) I needed to add text in A.Photo where it was flattened. So I do not see that editing in A.Photo should have been any problem since these options from Publisher are normal workflows. Here is a page from an older file. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ EDIT Gary, just managed to find this second image that does exactly what I said, however, when I do indeed click the 'Ignore Test wrap' option everything is fine. I just thought I wold send this to you because it is an example about where some images hide text and some do not REGARDLESS of that text wrap option being off (UnTicked) Page_one.afpub PageOne_InHousePrint_V3.afpub

Hallo Garry,, Sorry to be a bit late in replying, unfortunately I have updated so much and changed a couple of mages before I saw your post. I will go through the document and see where I have publisher text moving over the image as opposed to text I added in A.Photo then imported. I will then look at the text wrap setting for that frame and if it is "Unticked" then I will post that page here for you to look at. If you do not here from me over the next 48 hours, then this mean that I changed too much for the file to retain its original issue. Thank you.

Hallo Garry, I sincerely appreciate this video. I have never once noticed that check box "Ignore text wraps', I also did look for it when you suggested but could not find it. So I do appreciate the video. Also it did solve the problem. But here is the interesting thing, as I mentioned, I have often put text over an image, sometimes it worked sometimes it did not, now since I have never clicked that little box "Ignore text wraps', I obviously never became aware of this being a solution, and I did search in the help files but using key words when you don't know the problem is tricky.

Thanks Garry for responding, yes sorry I forgot to add that image on last post. I decided to make one last video,hopefully detailing more information as you asked. If you see no solution then this is absolutely fine, I will continue as always. It's no huge problem. Thank you for taking the time to look anyway. The Letter.mp4

Hi Garry thanks, but this is the first thing I do always, and this is not the issue. Image attached, some of my other texts work perfectly when moving them on top of images and others not. Mystery continues. It has been happening for last few years, but only now have I decided to ask the question. If no solution I will simply continue with placing image into Photo and adding the text as a part of the image which is not convenient since updates force me to change texts now and again.

Hallo, Windows 10 desktop. This often happens and I have always used a work around (placed text on image in A.photo then re-imported), but to be honest I am fed up with this now and would like to know why publisher does this? Thank you. The Letter.mp4

Ah good point - I missed that one. Thanks Alfred.

Dm1 and Lionel thank you for your comments. IPAD Air certainly appears the wy to go. So that's that. Lionel, I have no idea what you mean with MBP and I have no idea what Airdrop is. My Apple mac proper computer has never had problems with anything in 15 years of use. Never a corrupted file, broken software or needed to repair (apart from permissions). Yet in 4 years I have seen more corruptions, frustrations, annoyances, irritations, interferences and down right "what the #@##% is this" on both Microsoft laptops and apple IPADs. It pays to stay with the dinosaurs!

Hallo, should have mentioned it is Version One. Stacks of storage on the IPAD. Searched the forum, nothing found. It is mostly exporting files from A.Design as TIff or PNG and transferring them to my laptop for printing since apple in their so called wisdom have failed to provide access to printer drivers over the years from within an IPAD, half the time they are corrupted along the way. You see the thumbnails with half black over it or one third solid grey covering the image or thumbnail. Anyway, I use to spend hours solving all sorts of software issues over the years but now can no longer be bothered with all the hassle. Thanks for the feedback anyway.

I know this is not an Affinity question as such, but I have absolutely no experience at all with IPADs. All you IPAD users, as far as the Affinity suite is concerned are there preferences between the IPADS?, the IPAD air, or the IPAD pro? My wife's 5 year old ipad is corrupting design files and tiffs and doing weirder than my cat without her evening tuna. So users' experience will be so gratefully received right now as we need to purchase soonest. The only requirements are that an IPAD Pencil can be used and that Procreate intertwines seemlessly with Affinity Designer. Thank you.

Hallo, You are in luck then because you only have to deal with the length of your page and not the width. So this should be a very easy task. If you have a master page for the margins then change the length margin and apply to ALL spreads. Do you have text box set up in a Master page or are they all seperate or linked? If linked with flowing text then this should be very straight forward to go through each page - 30 seconds per page and you are done - I had this issue a few months ago and I had to change All the margins and I had images linked to specific text and even seperately created text boxes coupled with my master page text boxes. and 100 pages to deal with, it only took 30 or 40 minutes so it's not a nighmare. If you have any difficult issues here let us know.

Well along with the things that have been written here, plus the A.Photo's filters, its layer masking and its re-sizing dialogue are the reasons I decided to stop learning A.Photo and stayed with Photoshop. I have to add that Publisher is great and Designer is great, nothing negative to say about either of these programs that I use extensivley, but A.Photo -what a nightmare - gruelling and unwieldy. I did not mind abandoming Adobe Indesign and Adobe illustrator, because of that I decided to get into A.Photo and abandon Photoshop as well. Sorry, I have had a few years of Affinity and they do a fantastic job, and for their pricing one should not even begin to moan, but unfortunately I do wonder who actually designed A.Photo, the final straw came for me when I went into soft proof, I decided, per off chance to compare Photoshop's soft proof with A/Photos soft proof. I used Custom Made ICC profiles for both screens, I used all the same settings, Callibrated both monitors carefully and lo and behold, affinity's soft proof was so out of sync I was shocked. And I have been soft proofing for over 15 years on and off, so it was not my screen to blame. I wonder if Version 2 is any better? Still, affinity is to be congratulated, I still believe, for the other two programs. So I am thankful.

Wow, thank goodness all I ever need are the USM and Curves layers, they do not interfere with each other. Thank you - read with interest.
