Gerry Fraiberg Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Is it possible to set and save Guides? I'm coming from Photoshop CS5, which has Video pages with Action Safe and Title Safe guides. Affinity Photo has new Document settings that include Web with a page preset of FHD 1080p (1920 x 1080, 16:9). I'd like to be able to have a default Guides setting so I don't have to enter manually every time. When I imported a PSD, it brought in the Guides so I got the settings: Horizontal - 54 px 108 px 972 px 1026 px Vertical - 96 px 192 px 1728 px 1824 px Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HVDB Photography Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Go to Vew > Guides Manager and enter the settings. These settings are document related. As far as I know, one can't save them as general default settings. So, safe your document as an Affinity native format for example "1920x1080.afphoto" and use it as a template.

Gerry Fraiberg Posted November 25, 2018 Author Share Posted November 25, 2018 Thanks. I just figured that out before seeing your reply :-) I also found I can save a version with Transparent Background. Lots to learn about Affinity Photo. This will be helpful as I create a lot of graphic and text screens for my video work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan C Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Hi digitalscribe This isn't currently possible, however custom document presets are coming to Affinity version 1.7 and these allow for preset margins, but unfortunately not guides. You can try this for yourself in our current beta! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
