vjsouza Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 I've always found the Affinity Publisher 1.10 splash screen to be a bit gloomy, cluttered with information. And in the center, an image that resembles a DEAD WOMAN in a coffin. More sinister than that, only on a horror movie poster. Please Affinity team CHANGE THIS PICTURE FOR GOD'S SAKE!

PaoloT Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Why has she to be dead? It just looks like she has her eyes shut, like sometimes happens when listening, taking a break, or even sleeping. Paolo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotMyFault Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 That woman was definitively alive during the photo session. I have seen people who passed away by natural cause, they look very different.

carl123 Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 According to the Spotlight article I read previously, the reason Serif only use dead models/actors in their promotions is because the royalties paid to dead people are far less than they would have to pay for living ones, which helps keep the cost of their apps so low. Makes perfect sense when you think about it. vjsouza, joe_l, PaoloT and 2 others 5 To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

This appear to be a "Affinity Publisher Addams Family Special Edition" Yes, this is a truly serious problem I really suffer about too. Dead Women around me, wherever I look. My last seven matrimonies ended up that I called the coroner in the wedding night, as I saw that my woman must have died surprisingly, because her eyes were shut. It is so demoralizing. I almost felt like that little boy in the movie "The Sixth Sense". At least in my Windows version of Affinity Publisher, I found the option at the bottom left of the welcome screen useful, that allows me to hide this screen in the future. It really saved my peace of mind. PaulEC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
