Can anyone help.  I have used the Windows version of all the Affinity products for a number of years.  I am moving to the Mac system but have a problem with using existing PC created files.  All images are pixelated when opened on the Mac but still look okay on the PC.  I use OneDrive with the Affinity Projects stored on each system which are synced , so its not a cloud problem.

My pre Mac process was that I designed my work using two different PC's using the same OneDrive synch process and did not have a problem with files or images even though OneDrive had different paths.

What am I doing wrong on my new Mac.  Can anyone help me.

It probably is a cloud thing. The actual path to the image resources is different, and so they are considered missing until you relink them. You should have gotten a pop up message telling you about missing resources when you opened the file. Respond to that message by clicking Yes (not Resource Manager) and locate the first file. 
Publisher will then locate the others automatically.(This process is improved in the  1.10 beta, where Resource Manager also gains that capability.

Hi Walt, thank you for your reply.  I had more time to investigate and it was a 'Path' thing.  I played around with backup and used the resource manager but not as you explained.  I also used 'Package' for the first time and that helped.  For me its learning about the Mac environment as well but I'll get there.

Thanks again.

You're welcome.

The new Relink button in the Resource Manager in 1.10 should also help.
