Resize grayed out when invoking Photo Person with image selected?

[Richsul]

I download a JPG and load it to a page in Publisher. I then invoke Affinity Photo persona. I then want to resize the image but resize is gray out?

Thanks.

When you switch to the Photo Persona, you are not dealing with the image. You are dealing with the complete page. And if you could resize it, you would be resizing the page (or part of a spread). Since that doesn't make sense, the option is unavailable to you.

Just stay in the Publisher Persona, and with the image selected look at the Context Toolbar, where you should see something like this on the left side after the image file name:

Just click on that. Or, alternatively, just grab a corner of the image layer and drag it to resize. Or, specify the new size of the layer in the Transform panel.

Thanks Walt. 

BTW, is there ever going to be a nice book on Publisher?

Hi Richsul,
We are currently working on the Affinity Publisher Workbook similar to what we have done for Designer and Photo.
