Scouser Posted January 16, 2023 Posted January 16, 2023 Hi All New to the forum and affinity also. Youtube and Google have failed the mission here and hoping someone can help please. I have an exisiting design (using as a template) and I have my barcodes downloaded as both eps and jog files. I am not sure how to replace the existing barcode as when I click on it, each black bar in the code seems to be a separate image. Also, to replace with my new barcode is it better to use the jpg or eps file? I know this is a basic question but can't really work it out. Thanks Quote

EPS should usually be vector, although it can also contain bitmap data. Same for PDF. If your document is intended e.g. for offset print, then the barcode should be in CMYK black only, not in RGB black. The best way to find out – and fix potential problems – is not to "place" the EPS, but to open it with your Affinity app, and copy the content as native curves into your design. JPEG is ultimately the worst format to use here. Avoid. henryanthony 1 Quote MacBookAir 15": MacOS Ventura > Affinity v1, v2, v2 beta // MacBookPro 15" mid-2012: MacOS El Capitan > Affinity v1 / MacOS Catalina > Affinity v1, v2, v2 beta // iPad 8th: iPadOS 16 > Affinity v2

My guy actually will give the time in daylight savings time if applicable and then provide the actual time "by the sun". Quote Affinity Photo and Design V1. Windows 10 Pro 64-bit.
