Not sure if this is the right thread but I am using V1 Affinity Publisher, Designer & Photo. I am trying to export multiple layers at once but I can't find the Export Persona I keep seeing on a lot of self-help documents and wondering what happened to it? 

 

I am running V1. so 1.10.6

Publisher does not have an Export Persona. That's only in Designer and Photo.

Publisher has only the Publisher, Designer, and Photo Personas, as seen in your screenshot.

Ohhhhhhh. Wow, I never noticed this at all as I'm still quite new to the platform. So all I needed to do was open the actual Photo program - and there it is! Thank you so much for helping me. 

By chance, could you tell me if the Personas (Photo & Designer) in Publisher have the same features/ 100% functionality as if using the standalone Photo and Designer programs? 

I guess I bought all 3 a year ago just thinking I could move back and forth between all programs without opening each one individually - and that I had full functionality of all 3 programs in 1. Was I wrong? :)

The Designer Persona of Publisher has all the functionality of the Designer Persona of the Designer app.

The Photo Persona of Publisher has most of the functionally of the Photo Persona of the Photo app, but there are pieces missing in Publisher. For example, File > New Batch Job and the various kinds of stacking operations in the File menu. Also, in Filters, there's no access to Photoshop plugins.

Publisher also doesn't have the other Personas from the Designer and Photo apps. That doesn't matter much with Designer's Pixel Persona if you own a Photo license, because the Photo Persona gives you more. 

But you don't have the Export Persona, nor several Photo app Personas: Tone Mapping, Liquify. You do have some access to the Develop Persona in V2, but not as complete or easy as in the Photo app.
