Ola Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 It is so frustrating. I am now testing Affinity for ten days, and think that I learn pretty quickly. But I do not know how I can(position the image) i.e. choose different margins around the photo when printing my images, like I can do with Photoshop.I have asked this question before, but so far Ihave not received any answer from the support. If I can not print my images, I can not buy Affinity although it would be ideal for me. / Ola Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Callum Posted October 31, 2015 Staff Share Posted October 31, 2015 Hi Ola, Welcome to the Forums :) At the moment there aren't many printing options in Affinity however Professional printing is something that is on our roadmap to be added in the future.

Ola Posted October 31, 2015 Author Share Posted October 31, 2015 It was disappointing to hear. Can you at least make a guess when prof printing options like Photoshop will be available? / Ola Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fteifeld Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 You have no idea how disappointing that is. If I knew that the ability to make proper prints was not part of this software I never would have purchased it in the first place. To promote this software that is supposedly an excellent alternative to Photoshop is deceptive at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anon1 Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 You can expand the canvas or adjust the photo before you print so there's no need of getting upset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ola Posted October 31, 2015 Author Share Posted October 31, 2015 To MBd: How, and where do I find instructions? All this commotion and I can– as affinity user – not even print one of my pictures. All images are not supposed to be emailed to a newspaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markw Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 If I may offer this;In Photo menu bar go to Document > Resize Canvas (key shortcut; option cmd C) In the dropdown;Choose your preferred unit of measurement from the Units options.Type in the new canvas size you need, to acomodate the margins.Set the Anchor point to; Centre.Then click the Resize button.Depending on your requirements you may want to add a background fill colour, of say white, behind the picture before exporting for print. anon1 and Ola 2 Quote macOS 10.15.7 | 15" Macbook Pro, 2017 | 4 Core i7 3.1GHz CPU | Radeon Pro 555 2GB GPU + Integrated Intel HD Graphics 630 1.536GB | 16GB RAM | Wacom Intuos4 M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anon1 Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 or drag out a square that defines the desired area of the image and then drag it over the background layer to use it as a clipping mask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
