Dalibor Puljiz Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 I'm also just trying this. At first I thought that I can't see the part in bleed due to file imported from the AI. Then I made a new document, set the bleed etc. But the content from the edge to the bleed is still not visible. Example: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazmondo77 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 As soon as you make an artboard you lose your visible bleed because the artboard act's more like a page mask - hope this gets fixed???

Mango Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Hey all. I've created a little vide on how to work with bleed in Affinity Designer and why it is irritating in comparison to Adobe Illustrator. Hopefully it will help people get by for now but also encourage Affinity to improve how it works. ElwoodP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's fixed in the current 1.9 beta on Windows. Bleed shows for the active (selected) Artboard.

Thats great news Walt - I've not installed the most recent beta, although I did notice with the previous 1.9 beta that bleed guides show on Artboards but there's still no visible bleed for the artboards contents - are you saying this is now fixed?

Dalibor Puljiz Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 I've just installed and tried it. To be honest, I see no changes to bleed behaviour. It's still the same as in the picture I posted above. ElwoodP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElwoodP Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 I check back on this every year or so to see if I can buy Designer yet. Still not fixed 5 years on (Mac v1.10)... 😐 See you next year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorox Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 For my personal workflow I’ve found this actually much less important than I originally thought (the bleed issue HAD been irritating to me, too). As things are I find myself now doing all final layout stages in and exporting all my PDFs for print from Publisher. No need for Artboards (possibly) not showing bleed there as there are Pages instead which generally behave as they should – all kinds of views possible there. As the apps are (and have always been) so reasonably priced and – furthermore – are so convincingly integrated I don't really see why NOT to use Publisher (and not Designer) for finally putting together print ready artwork. Here you've got all the visual control you need. Using Designer just to create the (vector) assets and having Publisher as the app to do the proper layout in seems quite a nobrainer for me these days. Copy and Paste, the Assets panel and the Affinity Studio Link make it – at least for me – easy and convenient Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
