RasmusDB Posted June 27, 2022 Posted June 27, 2022 Hi, Im in the middel of creating some wedding invitations, but getting stuck on creating with bleed marks. I wanted to create them myself, to save some money. So that rules out buying either designer og publisher, when I have af photo. Any good recommendation to how to do it? I have added a dummy picture of the size for the invitation we intent to use. It needs to fit in 4" on the height. Best Rasmus Quote
Komatös Posted June 27, 2022 Posted June 27, 2022 Hi @RasmusDB Affinity Photo does not allow you to set or export a bleed. You need either Affinity Designer or Publisher for this. To manually create this area and set marks you would need to expand the canvas and then insert crop and/or bleed marks. v_kyr 1 Quote MAC mini M4 | MacOS Sequoia 15.3.1 | 16 GB RAM | 256 GB SSD AMD Ryzen 7 5700X | INTEL Arc A770 LE 16 GB | 32 GB DDR4 3200MHz | Windows 11 Pro 24H2 (26100.3194) Affinity Suite V 2.5.7 & Beta 2.6 (latest) Interested in a free (selfhosted) PDF Solution?

Komatös Posted June 27, 2022 Posted June 27, 2022 I have put the picture into a designer file and added 1 inch bleed. You can see the export result in the PDF file.

v_kyr Posted June 27, 2022 Posted June 27, 2022 Alternatively to what Komatös already said and if you are going to print them yourself, take also a look if your printer driver possibly may support bleed settings. Or in case you have some other tool like Acrobat etc. you can therein modify a PDF accordingly, or use some online service for adding bleeds to a PDF. - See for example ... https://presspdf.com/ How do I add bleed to a design before printing? etc. Quote ☛ Affinity Designer 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Photo 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Publisher 1.10.8 ◆ OSX El Capitan ☛ Affinity V2.3 apps ◆ MacOS Sonoma 14.2 ◆ iPad OS 17.2
