Eirik Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Just to make it easy to show what I mean, I’ll upload a screenshot. Does anyone know how to align these perfectly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted October 18, 2022 Staff Share Posted October 18, 2022 Hi @Eirik, I believe I understand what you're looking to achieve, and for this I would recommend using Guides - I've created a very quick screen recording below with an example: RPReplay_Final1666109429.MP4 Is this what you were hoping for please? Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time. Should you require a response from the team in a thread I have previously replied in - please Create a New Thread and our team will be sure to reply as soon as possible. Many thanks!

Eirik Posted October 18, 2022 Author Share Posted October 18, 2022 That looks close to what I want. Except that I want the two photos to be perfectly placed so that the white frame (the white background) is the same thickness on all sides, including between them. And I’m not sure I could eyeball it the way I seem to have to do with your method. I did not know about those guides though, so I’ll see what I can do with them. Quick edit: oh there is a thing that lets me input the exact pixel height(?) I want them at. That might work! Is there any way to save the placements of the guides? I’m going to do this 10 times. Maybe I can just load all the photos onto the same canvas and export them one after another by hiding the layers I don’t need in the moment, if that makes sense. Edit 2: this is working very well actually. I think this has been solved. Thank you very much Dan! Dan C 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

esotopia Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 hi DM1, wow, thanx! this is by far much more than just a helpful answer. your "tutorial" is highly appreciated! ( if i now only knew, how long i can test drive Publisher before the price rises, i'd be somehow "appeased" with Affinity. That's not your business, but i'm still upset, that i just recently bought Photo & Designer - for future use ... - and now have to buy again. That's pretty heavy for a poor artist like me ...) thanx again, all the best & cheers, TJK (Thomas) DM1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though, the universal licence is great value at the moment, all apps, all platforms at a very good discount.

esotopia Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 me is retired too ... with only minimum income left. i do my grafix (nowadays) exclusively on my iPad. (the windows pc is kinda retired too) so the whole bundle is, i agree, a pretty reasonable offer, but .... (btw: (my IG user name equals mine here ...)) cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
