Hi,

I (rookie user) cannot find how to decide leading directly like I can in ID. The only way I have found is by adjusting the baseline which is not ideal. What have I missed?

Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums.

Leading is a Paragraph property, which you can set in the Paragraph panel, or as part of a Paragraph Text Style, or in a field on the right side of the Context Toolbar. 

There is also a related but often misused field called Leading Override in the Character panel. Avoid that one until you know what it does and how it differs from Leading.

Welcome to the forums.

Leading is set per paragraph and is found in the Text Styles for Paragraph Styles or the Paragraph Panel.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.
