Sharkey Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Yesterday I had a request from my wife for me to print multiple small copies of an image she had to be passed out at a forthcoming meeting. No probs. says I. Open the jpg in AP (my default image editor) and hit print. Hmm.. What next? Start again by importing image into unused Apple Photo. Duplicate 60 times - select all - hit print - select custom & printer settings. Hit print. Done. Frustrating that the print in AP is 'so' basic.

Staff Gabe Posted March 14, 2019 Staff Share Posted March 14, 2019 Hi @Sharkey, I'm not really sure I follow you on this. Could you not duplicate the image within Affinity? It's a 30 seconds job. Thanks, Gabe. Screen Recording 2019-03-14 at 11.54.30.mp4 Alfred 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkey Posted March 14, 2019 Author Share Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) DUH! Is there a video instruction to do this? Guess my fear of layers kicked in. Forget that last bit. Just completed your way in just about a minute. Command J did not seem to work originally but got there in the end. I suppose I was just looking in the wrong place. ie:- using a printing dialogue as you would in publisher - instead of creating a new image in AP and then going to the print dialogue. As I said DUH!!!!! Afraid I am still prone and getting proner to these blank brain periods. Problem Solved.

Staff Gabe Posted March 14, 2019 Staff Share Posted March 14, 2019 Power duplicate only works if you move the object first and do not perform any other tasks in between. To 'power duplicate': 1.Select a layer(s). 2.From the Layer menu, select Duplicate. 3.Transform the duplicated layer content. 4.From the Layer menu, select Duplicate. A duplicate is created and the transform is automatically applied to the duplicate. 5.Repeat step 4 to create more duplicates with the transform accumulatively applied.

walt.farrell Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 In 1.7, one can also consider specifying "N-Up" printing in the Layout section of the Print dialog.
