To me, the explanation in the help file is as clear as mud. Compounding, on an iPad, the styles edit dialgue snorks up the entire screen. Can someone kindly explain how to set up hanging indents in Publisher? Many thanks!

The problem here is my own - that of forgetting to group the adjustment layer with the single Item I wanted to adjust. After that, the levels adjustment applied to just that item. I don’t find this intuitive, but eventually, it’ll become second nature. Thank you

Sorry if this is the wrong place, but the forum for the current iPad versions doesn’t seem available. Please advise. I need to adjust the levels on a graphic placed in publisher. I go into Photo persona, with my item selected, and choose levels. I see controls but my item gets de-selected. I can adjust levels on the whole entire page which isn’t what I need. If I re-select the item I want to adjust, the Levels controls vanish! Very Kafkaesque. Am I not allowed to have levels controls for adjusting the one item I want to adjust? If I can do this, can somebody explain how please? Screen movie shows the Kafkaesque experience. Thank you My project.mp4

That worked like Magic. Thank you MikeTO!

I can. Thank you for looking at it. Section Problem.afpub

Screen capture shows first 2 pages of a document which both have Same Master applied to them. Page 1 shows correct section: "Section One." Page 2 shows "Section Name" not "Section One." Any clues on why? Thank you!

The video tells the story. If I'm doing something wrong procedurally, I'm not seeing it. Thank you in advance. no_noise.mov

My video workflow if 4k. Is there any advantage to working im QFHD at higher-than-72dpi, say 600, 1200 dpi, for use in print? Would the higher resolution matter for video? Thank you

Any suggestions on how to age people in photos? I have a photo for a design which is nearly perfect, but the person in the photo looks a bit too young. It's also a side shot in bright sun, so...maybe not a lot of shadowing opportunity there. Thank you for any clues.

Sure enough! Excellent to know..thank you!

🙃 Photo persona. Switching back to Pub persona restored the razorness of the type. Thank you. But, why wouldn't type in Pub persona still be sharper than that in photo persona? 150% isn't that much of a zoom factor. Does Photo re-interpret type at screen rez? Thank you again..

Does Publisher 2 for Mac have a limitation which Designer 2 does not have in terms of keeping type sharp no matter how much you zoom in? In Designer 2, live type is crisp no matter how far I zoom in, but in Publisher 2, live type gets jagged at 150% zoom! and to be clear, what I mean by "live type" is type which has not been rasterized or converted to curves, and is selectable and editable AS type. Thank you for any clues

Thank you, DWright

when I am working with text…modifying, formatting, scaling, etc., I want the keyboard out of my hair until I’m ready to type, but it keeps sliding up to help me anytime I do anything text-related. Is there a way to get the keyboard to give me the little widget to keep the full keyboard out of the way…the way it is in publisher 2? thank you

Ah..that works...very helpful, thank you! My bad for reading too hastily!

When I undock the desired pallets and then hide studio, all pallets disappear.

thank you, thomaso...this doesn't seem to be working for me...is this an iPad feature?

Thanks, Walt..good to have that confirm. Sounds like Presets could be the salvation.

Maybe this is a feature, but it feels like a nasty bug. If I Hide Studio, I may want to clear up the interface visually, but I don't want to lose all functionality. Is this our choice? I want and need to be able to make all the tool palettes go away, but I also, equally need to be able to summon certain things back, whenever I need to. For example: hide all the tool palettes, but let me pull up the layers pallet when I need to see what's on the layers, or the text frame pallet when I need to do something to a text frame. Thoughts?

excellent strategy..thank you!

This is an image I downloaded from Pixabay. As you can see, I've made a selection of the sky using the Selection Brush Tool, and it's pretty good, except that many of the non-sky elements which border the sky are similar saturation and color. Some of the areas like the guardrail of the curved bridge, upper left relative to the woman, are intricate; crude selection will produce a crude result: I want to replace the original sky with something more blue and dramatic. Is this the best I can do with this tool, and should I next make my selections and de-selections manually? Thank you

selecting words is easy; inserting the type cursor in between words or characters is frustrating because Publisher seems primed to select words. Is there a way to insert the text cursor between characters and words straight away without selecting entire words or groups of words? Is this a deficit/limitation of iPad OS? thank you EDIT: May have discovered an answer: settings > accessibility > switch control > selection mode > precise

Toggled the toolbar, reset the studio, rebooted the Mac. Problem seemed to go away of it's own. Thank you for the suggestions. This is a problem I've had perhaps 1 other time. Rare.

I upgraded to Sonoma today and I did all three Affinity upgrades as well. Did a quick thing in publisher during which I was in tile left mode with a finder window tile right. after exiting tile mode, Publisher lost its window chrome. Restarting the mac didn't help. Anyone else with this problem? Screen capture attached. Thanks!

thank you for the great suggestions!
