@TedThompson Hi.
Try View > View Mode > untick Clip to Canvas.
That should do it. -
Thank you, @GarryP - just a little question though; is there a non-microsoft store version on the horizon?
-
I have to completely agree.
Also ability to drag and drop files from finder/explorer directly to the batch job dialog would be ux-wise decision.

Another Macbook in my studio, just as another reference to Apple Silicon power:
Macbook Pro 16,2" 2021
Apple M1 Pro (10 CPU cores, 16 GPU cores)
16 GB RAM
SSD 1 TB
MacOS Monterey 12.2.1

Hi @BiteMe, welcome to the forums.
You first have to click the DEVELOP button to develop the photo, then you'll be taken from the develop persona to the photo persona where you can use rest of the tools like mentioned frequency separation and/or other tools within other AP personas.
Hope this helps.

+1 and also for desktop versions of the apps

Although using the scroll-wheel to change numeric values in most fields works fine for me, that does not work on my Mac. I am also not sure what you mean about double-clicking -- for me single-clicking & double-clicking both open the fly-out.
Well, double-click to open and instantly close the flyout (so it's focused, then the scroll-wheel works).
This is how it behaves on Windows, I haven't used Affinity on my Mac for a while (on my Mac, I'm still on ACC).SpoilerACC = Adobe Creative Cloud

Hi @15cv88, welcome to the forums.
Yes indeed. If you want to use Photo or Designer personas (aka Studio Link) in Affinity Publisher, you need to have corresponding applications installed.

@amul I just double-click the blend mode flyout, then use mouse scrolwheel to cycle the blend modes (as it instantly shows the blend mode preview same as hovering over the items in the flyout).
It's not a keyboard option as requested, but quite fast imo.

It seems that global layer system is currently considered and might be added in future...
And that is, I believe, what @hudson2800 is requesting. -

Many people requested this (and more) back in September 2020, when @MattP asked users to post optional extra requests for the feature that was just in beta back then.
No response, I guess the requests weren't interesting enough 😉 -

Yes, you can rename the Swatch and set the Overprint option on and off. What you don't have is the same window that in the Adobe Programs.
Best regards!
I think you're missing the point here, @Mithferion 😉
The way AI handles overprint is object (property) based while in Affinity it's colour-based.
The object oriented system is imo way more logical, you could easily want to overprint the same colour at one place of the document, while having it knocked-out in other part.
Overprint preview is a must also, without any doubts...Also, it's not that easy to handle colour swatches in Affinity compared to AI - you can't work with multiple colour swatches at once, and you also can't switch Spot color checkbox anymore, once you've created a Spot color swatch, you can't turn it back to CMYK (or other colour model). The only, and very counter-intuitive way is to create a new swatch, then Select > Same Colour, then change the swatch, later deleting the spot-colour swatch. What a UX I'd say...

Hi,
does anyone have an idea where the § comes from and how I can hide it...
Hi @3joern
Main Menu > Text > untick Show Special Characters -

...But in Affinity apps, it is not that simple: e.g. cropped images (using Vector Crop tool) would be upsampled to document DPI and -- according to my recent test -- ignore any downsample settings specified in Export options. I'll have a test run to confirm this, but if you have lots of images cropped this way, this could explain the problem at least partially.

Hi, the issue still present in 1.10.x.
It happens when Preferences > Tools > Smallest is set.
The worst thing is that if you want to use the handles while zoomed in, you have to hit the precise pixel in the middle of the handle (and that's nearly impossible).
Also, may I ask you to move this thread back to https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/forum/78-photo-bugs-found-on-windows/? so it's not easily missed, as it still affects the current version, and not just pre-1.9 versions?
Thanks in advance for looking at it.

About: Can the Affinity range of products really be called 'pro'?
The premise of the initial post is flawed. Serif Affinity applications are designed meticulously with usability and performance as primary considerations. It is this meticulous attention to detail and aggressive responsiveness to the Affinity community in providing new features and refinements that qualifies Serif Affinity applications as 'pro level'.
Affinity applications are still in their 1.x release. When Adobe Photoshop 7.x supported 1 undo level, with other photo editors supporting hundreds. Many (including myself ─ when Photoshop 7.x was current) would argue; one undo level in a photo editor disqualifies the application as being considered 'pro'. Yet Photoshop evolved, which required significant time, refinement and monetary investment. The insinuation that Affinity applications are not 'pro level' because they are not equal to applications that have been around for decades insults the intelligence of users in this community and the impressive efforts invested by Serif.
I saw a video released a week after Affinity Photo beta went public that claimed Affinity Photo was not a serious application and that it shouldn't be considered because Photoshop was better. For god sake, should we throw out a 2-month-old child because they can't drive a car, express complex ideas or solve sophisticated problems? The video was taken down within an hour of me posting my analysis of the author as having an emotional investment in Adobe being superior. Think I hit a nerve?
Sure, Serif Affinity applications aren't perfect. I defy anyone to make the argument that Adobe applications are not without their flaws. Affinity applications have been released with features that Adobe has since incorporated into their counterparts. Affinity application feature implementations, refinements and fixes have been released at an aggressive pace by any reasonable standards. It's frustrating when features fail to work as they should, however what application has not demonstrated such problems. Adobe In Design has had more than its share of issues resulting in the application crashing. Does that mean In Design is not a 'pro level' application?
'Pro level' does not mean all features and refinements in a 1.x release are equal to applications that have evolved over generations. 'Pro level' means features, speed and usability are sufficient for use in production by competent users, and that the refinements incorporated in the applications are within a higher threshold of quality. Serif has secured their place as a development company that can bring advanced features and revolutionary implementation from concept to production on a mass scale against such a powerful competitor as Adobe with decades of established market share and vastly more resources, and still be a highly respected contender by many professionals.
Professional software means just that you can rely upon it in with your business. That the software is so reliable, you can easily use it without worrying it's gonna fail here or there. It means that everything works as expected.
To me, honestly, it feels that Serif doesn't even develop automated testing suite (that is standard for any bigger application), otherwise it's hard to understand how often new updates break old stuff that was working for years.

This is still not working properly as you can see here: I just changed the color mode from RGB to CMYK. When I actualize the image, it remains it’s size, but not it’s position within the picture frame. In Versions 1.8.6 this works fine.
@AdamW @Jon P Same goes for Replacing placed PDF files via Resource Manager.
They don't keep the size, nor position. Also when replacing a resource that is placed multiple times, only one is replaced, the rest of placed images vanish and Publisher displays only empty frames.When replacing with Replace Image button in the context toolbar, all the images are replaced, however they change the size (keeping the position though).
Been like that since 1.9 release. It's a pretty nasty bug for a DTP software 😐.
Bug Report (reported for Windows but the same issue occurs on macOS).

To add, the issue isn't Windows exclusive, the same happens on macOS (both High Sierra and Big Sur) 😐

Update the WebP library to the latest version to prevent possible vulnerability attacks
in Feedback for the Affinity V2 Suite of Products
Posted
Sadly, not at all.
Thank you for mentioning this, @v_kyr, what a shame you posted this into Feedback section instead of bug section though.
Also, severity of this bug is so serious that Serif should issue an update to the whole V1 line as well...
