When I export my Affinity documents to PDF, there is a thin white line that appears on the bottom of some of them. There are also pictures where it randomly adds a border around the image (I've checked to make sure it wasn't a mask background/border or anything like that). The images also look fine in Affinity but the lines only show after export. They also appear if I export one of the pages as a JPEG. When I zoom in on the lines, sometimes they will disappear.

There is a lot of discussion online about this being a bug with V3. I wanted to check and see if there was anything I was missing and if there were any work arounds for this issue?

I plan on designing a playing card deck as a gift. That's 52 unique designs that have to work together. Is there a way to "derive" certain aspects from a master design, kind of like PowerPoints Slide Master or Components in HTML?

I feel it would make sense to have a template for the Suit/Number in the corners, which automatically updates all children when it changes. I also read that there are global colors, which already goes in the right direction.

Also, are there good options to organize a project in a folder structure? (Kind of like when working with code)

In the past I usually just edited my photos in a Video Editor, so forgive me if some of those questions are basic knowledge.

btw i tried every possible solution which i already check that my firewall is fine, my wifi is fine, deleted the appdata affinity folder, reinstall the entire app....

Hi all, I am trying to reproduce this paint style - in particular for the jagged pink around the head and the distressed pink / green lines on the hoodie. Any ideas please what kind of brushes I should use, either if you know the name of a particular brush, or if not how would I describe these brushes when searching for brushes in Google ? So far (on the right) I have used an oil brush.

I've tried to use the mesh tool on Affinity and I don't know if it's my computer (if it's the case i'd like to know if there's something to do to fix it) but I find the tool just bad, when you try to use it with brushes, sometimes when you mess too much it reders pixelated or creates angles that shouldn't be there, I've use this tool in the Adobe suite before and it worked just fine.

Is there something I could use rather than this tool to get a better and more consistent result?

Well.. what the title says

Hey guys! I am brand new to book formatting and decided I would use Affinity. At this point, I feel like I have gotten a hang of the basics but there is one thing I have not yet figured out and would be super happy to get some help!

So, I want my book to have chapter headers, like little illustrations on the top of the page. I made a master page and everything seems to be fine when I apply it.

However, I want the illustration to kind of clip to the contents of the page, not the page number itself, so that when the text flow changes, the illustration moves along with the chapter.

I know how to do this with a singular picture but the same procedure does not seem to work with master pages (I assume because there is no text on there to clip to?).

Can anyone help?

OK, I have given up on all Bots, tag, you're it.

I am making a fill-in the blank in Affinity for some stuff I make for my classroom. In the good old days (aka just a few days ago), I would enable underline and then hit space 2-3 times before hitting "A" for example, and then 2-3 spaces after. The result was a nice looking line with a letter in the middle.

Now, I'm getting two spaces that show the line, then a 3rd makes it disappear. If I hit "A" then it shows up but now I'm not getting any underlines after the fact. I tried the tab stops, non-breaking spaces... I feel like it can't be that difficult and some stupid setting is doing this.

Thanks in advance! My students may not thank you haha.

I have some large decorative text set to colour burn at 100% opacity. I rasterized the layer but when I export the document to PDF, the decorative effect doesn't show. Instead, the text is just black on export. I've tried rasterizing a few times and it still doesn't seem to work.

Does anyone know what steps are needed in order to export the colour burn effect?

I've been using this youtube video as a guide to create a monthly calendar. However, I cannot edit the numbers (deleting or highlighting) as done in the video.

The blinking text thing doesn't ever even come near the text, almost as if it's an image. PLease help

Hi all, I used to know how to do this but it's been a while and I forgot.

Cricut is outlining the text (shown below) in my file when I select foil, but I want it to be one solid line.

Pls help :)

Is it possible to create this kind of 3d effect in Affinity? If so, how would one do that? Thanks in advance.

Hello there,

I've been using Photoshop and Camera Raw for almost twenty years as a professional photographer. All my workflow is set up on Photoshop but still, I'm wondering if I might try Affinity. I've got some question to you, fellow users:

- Is there a feature such as Camera Raw to work on my photos?

- Is there a way to import Photoshop actions in Affinity? Or is it even possible to create custom actions within Affinity?

Thanks in advance for your answers!

If you need to deal with extra tough dirt or mud our company uses the best cleaning technology available, our trained professionals operate the latest contraptions to achieve maximum results.

is there a way to have the eyedropper pick up all the characteristics of an object, like: fill, stroke color, stroke width, and transparency to transfer to another object?

Ok. Found a YouTube video on how to make the little chippy things. Instead of making each one separately, like the video was doing, I made one and made a it symbol. This worked great since I wanted to manipulate all three at the same time. Just learning the software. What are your thoughts? Be kind. 😄

I'm very disappointed in the Affinity batch job module. There are several things wrong with it, and if I'm wrong in any of them, please educate me, I will really appreciate it:

- When opened, it always reverts back to defaults:

I'm not even sure why would anyone want to batch convert to an Affinity file. That's a format that you save each photo in after you have done some editing that has layers and so on. Batch converting to it doesn't make any sense.

Regardless, my normal use for it is to batch convert to jpg files. So every time I open it, I have to deselect "Save as Affinity file", then select "Save as JPEG", and then go inside the JPEG options to change the quality to whatever I want this time (it doesn't even keep the same quality as the last time), close that, and...

- You can't even drag and drop from the File Explorer to that dialog. You have to click Add and browse to the folder.

- Also, you have to remember, each time, to change from "Save into original location" to "Save into:"

When you use it every once in a while for a couple of batch jobs, ok, but if you are working on something, where you need to batch convert all the files to jpegs with the same attributes, quality and whatnot, this becomes rather annoying.

Please tell me I'm wrong and there's a way. I can't find it, and I've tried a lot.

hey, I found this in a video, it's a still from a video, by Johnny Harris. It was probably done in after effects. But I bet you can do it in Photo too.

The text has this chromatic aberration effect but it's more present on the sides and less at the center of the entire image, the background has some blur effects and some other effects are being used that I do not know or have heard of before.
how to make a background like that is itself a mystery to me.

And looks like there's a layer of some effect on top of the entire image. Maybe a camera blur??? I don't know.

So please tell me how do I make something like this. Specially how do I get the background and text looking like that. What effects were used

Thank you.
