  1. Currently, the "Save History with Document" option is available under Save As...

    This option needs to be ticked for every new photo to be edited. Forgetting that will result in not having the workflow history saved for that particular photo. Well, I would like to save the history for all of my photos, so I would like this feature to be in the preference where I can set it to ON permanently after installing AP.

  2. Is there a macro available to apply a colored border before the final export?

    The way it will work:

    1. Insert a Fill layer with maximum 2048 pixel in the longest direction while maintaining the original aspect ratio.

    2. Make the image or pixel layer maximum 2000 pixel in the longest direction while maintaining the aspect ratio.

    3. Apply border on the pixel layer via fx > outline.

    Thanks 😊

    When I open the file in Illustrator it appears the same as it does in Affinity. This would indicate that there is something wrong with the file. I'm not sure how you would go about fixing this. Perhaps try exporting it again in the app used to create it?

    I saw the exact same thing. Unfortunately I do not have the original Inkscape file.

  4. I have been using Affinity Designer since last week, and already became a fan! However, there are few minor features that can improve the user experience by a lot:

    1. Oftentimes I have to use MS Office products and the default DPI is 96, Affinity Designer uses 72 DPI (same as Adobe) and I often have to change the DPI in Document settings, resulting in dimensions changing in mid-design. I would request to add an option to set default (startup) DPI in the Preference window (maybe in the User Interface Tab).

    2. Similarly, the startup ''zoom to fit'' setting is annoying and an option can be added in the User Interface Tab of the Preference window to set the startup zoom to user choice.

    3. While there are options for export/import of other tools, the Preference window itself needs the settings selection to be saved and be able to export/import. The user can import the setting once and be done with it, no fiddling around required. I have attached a probable location in the Preference Window.

    If you have your image and your scale both at the correct magnification and, provided you do not resize either of these, then  you can crop and edit them as much as you like. I would presume that they are on separate layers.

    John

    Both the image and the scale bar is in the same layer and at the correct magnification, so resizing the image resizes both properly.

    How do I redraw the new scale bar based on the old one? Which software should I use, AD or AP?

  6. I have been using AD for the past week and am already in love with it! Big thanks to Serif for developing the software for such a small price.

    I do lots of technical illustration or microscopy image editing where I need to show the "scale bar" of the image. Is there a way to do that in Affinity Designer or Photo?

    For example, I have the below image that I would like to crop and edit, then put the scale bar in the cropped/edited image at the same pixel scale.
