Thank you for confirming what I said you would find:
 

That's fine when the image you have matches the aspect ratio you need in the end. But when it doesn't, you will end up with extra white margins, or you'll need to enlarge and then crop.
 

Affinity Designer will calculate values for you. For example, if you want the width to be seven fifths of the height, go to the Transform panel and put the desired height in the H box, and then put h*7/5 in the W box.
Affinity Designer Help: Expressions for field input
Export to PDF and then inspect the result in a PDF viewer. What you see with the zoom factor set to 100% should be a fairly accurate representation of what the image will look like when printed.

Start as you have been doing, without bothering to work out a scale factor.
Drag the corners until the placed image fills the canvas, adjust its position to your liking and then export. The exported image will automatically be cropped to the size of the canvas.

In your situation I would probably figure out the image size I wanted, and use the Crop Tool in Affinity Photo. There you can use the Resample mode, and specify the output size and DPI (probably 300) that you want. You will get a crop box that has the proper aspect ratio for the size you want, and you can drag a corner (maintaining that aspect ratio) to make it cover as much of the image as possible. You can then move it around to compose the image you want, and then Appy the crop.

Hey Walt,
 
Got it installed...running like a champ!!!
You are a gentleman and scholar!!
Thanks you!

Hello Everyone!
I just purchased Affinity Designer this weekend and I need to know if I can install Affinity on two separate computers. To install it on a second computer will I have to get another license?

The problem is not the leading, but the default 12 pt on top of each paragraph you need to modify and set to 0. And perhaps add a new paragraph style.

The connection between the ‘violin’ part of the glyph and the object it represents might be more obvious if it had a longer neck and a shorter body. The cloud symbol made me think it was something to do with weather rather than dreaming!

You can put multiple objects, including a 2100 px × 1500 px rectangle, onto the clipboard, and then create a new document from the contents of the clipboard. In the new document, group everything except the rectangle and then drag the group to the rectangle layer’s clipping position in the Layers panel (i.e. immediately below the rectangle layer, but to the right of its thumbnail). Use the ‘Rasterize and trim’ option to discard the unwanted portion.

William has added the bleed manually, by making the canvas size 2171 × 1571 (instead of 2100 × 1500 with a bleed amount of 3 mm) so there’s no bleed to disable before exporting.
If you create a rectangle and then go to the Transform panel, you can use the controls there to set its dimensions to 2100 × 1500 and its position to (35, 35). Dragging the rectangle and dropping it onto the thumbnail of the image will crop the image appropriately, and rasterizing the cropped image (or a copy of it in a new document) will yield a pixel layer of the desired size.

I guess the easiest way would be to export one of the images without the bleed.Tthen you can place it on your A4 where ever you want.

Alt codes only seem to work in Affinity apps up to 255 (and as mentioned a zero must precede the codes above 127), thereafter you can directly type in a hex Unicode [preceded by +U notation, so e.g. +UEA60] and press Alt+U to toggle between the code and the character within the selected font. 

Here is link to a jolly video in Dutch.
Maybe it will inspire Serif staff to include a Dutch version.
 
 
 
It is good in full screen.

Welcome to the Serif Affinity Forums, Arie.
Unfortunately, the choice of interface languages for the Affinity apps does not currently include Dutch.

Hallo I am searching voor Publisher in Dutch language

If I remember correctly the leading zero is below 256 to get the Unicode character, otherwise one gets a different character.
I made a test font this morning and Alt 60000 works fine in WordPad.

Your rhyming couplet employs more than a little artistic licence, William! Sixty is a decimal number, so sixty thousand (decimal) is not “E A sixty” (hexadecimal).
As for the technical issue, application-specific methods are not standardized, so I’m not greatly surprised that what works in WordPad doesn’t necessarily work in Affinity Designer. And Windows Alt codes are, of course, of no use to Mac users.

Here he is playing with a Moscow orchestra:
 

Superb.  I wish Teo had my violin from the years when I was his same age.  It was an Andreas Borelli made in 1742 in Parma, Italy.  It could laugh, cry, dream, or despair in unbelievable ways.  When it went back to the rare violin dealer from whence it came, I understood that Isaac Stern found it and added it to his collection of concert instruments.  Teo is brilliant.  Now he needs violins that are brilliant too.  Thank you for sharing this video!

For adding a new page, you should be able to Shift+Click on the linking triangle on the lower part of the right edge of the text frame.
For Affinity Designer: When using File > Export to create a PDF each Artboard will be a separate page, so just add a new Artboard. But note that the page order runs from 1 starting with the lowest Artboard in the Layers panel and working up from there. It is not based on position in the workspace.

The system of indicating colours in a black and white image by shading with lines in various directions is often named after him.
For example, vertical lines for red, horizontal lines for blue, upper left to lower right diagonal lines for green, and so on.
I have usually followed his choices for my glyphs where possible, but I have modified some for clarity in this application and devised a few of my own too.

Well, according to Wikipedia, fuchsia is a quintary color 7.5° away from magenta on the color wheel. I mean, I know where magenta is on the wheel, I just never knew what it was called in Slovak.
