DavidGB Posted September 22, 2020 Posted September 22, 2020 It would appear that pictures which are saved as assets do not appear in the Resource Manager. Is this correct? Is there a way that I can view used assets in the Resource Manager? My documents are all setup to embed images. Quote
walt.farrell Posted September 22, 2020 Posted September 22, 2020 If I: Place an image file (TIFF, JPG, PNG) into a Publisher document (giving an (Image) layer); and Create an Asset from that layer; Then when I use that Asset in another Publisher document it does show up in the Resource Manager. However, if I rasterize the layer after step 1, so it is a (Pixel) layer, and then create the Asset, the behavior will be different. After dragging that Asset into a document it will not show up in the Resource Managerwhen they are used later. And that is correct, in my opinion. Note that in 1.9 (currently in beta) there's a new capability via the Layers menu to convert a pixel layer into an image layer. Once you have done that the new image layer will show up in the Resource Manager.

And if you go to the resource manager and make the new image linked instead of embedded it will save it with _1.tiff for a name and format in whatever folder you choose. Super cool. walt.farrell 1 Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.6 Affinity Designer 2.5.7 | Affinity Photo 2.5.7 | Affinity Publisher 2.5.7 | Beta versions as they appear. I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.
