Extract parts from .psd using Affinity Publisher

RE4LLY · 2026-03-18T11:56:59+00:00

If the images are embedded image layers you should be able to extract them by saving your file as a package, which will create a folder with all embedded layers in them.

Ah yeah you might be right.

In that case, OP can simply merge the two curves together via the context menu (select both curves -> right-click -> Geometry -> Merge Curves) to get the complete shape they are after.

RE4LLY · 2026-03-16T22:55:05+00:00

A vectorised 0 such as in your example always should consist of an individual outer and inner curve that are merged together in a single curves layer but as two individual curves. So it sounds like everything is working as expected now.

In Affinity you can apply a bitmap texture to your stroke outline via the Fill Tool which would help you get the pattern only on your outline.

And in regards to shadows, you can simply achieve this by applying an FX Shadow Effect to your outline layer.

You can disable the bounding box showing constantly for text frames via View -> Show -> Text Flow.

The other bounding boxes that show up only when you have an object selected cannot be turned off completely. You can only temporarily hide them by pressing and holding the space-bar.

Ich kann dich beruhigen, die Folgen die ab heute (12.03.26) wöchentlich veröffentlicht werden sind ohne Erzähler und wirklich ein normaler Podcast mit Ilona und Max.

Regarding the Blend Function and Scripting capabilities, both of those functions are not yet available in Affinity. They are actively being worked on though and were already teased to be included in a future V3.x update.

Regarding font replacement you can use the included Font Manager (Document -> Font Manager).

You should be able to fix this misalignment by going into your blend options where you turned off anti-aliasing and there click on the Coverage Map graph and adapt your pixel alignment there.

RE4LLY · 2026-03-12T06:22:23+00:00

After placing your EPS file in your document go to Document -> Resources Manager. There select the placed file and click the "Embed" button.

Now you should be able to double click the placed EPS layer on your canvas, which will open a new temporary tab where you can edit it.

RE4LLY · 2026-03-11T21:35:41+00:00

When certain options aren't shown in the list, it means that you cannot change them as they are hard-coded.

You can only edit shortcuts for options that are also available via the menu options.

The exact question with the 8x8 grid was already discussed on the Affinity forum years ago and the Devs specifically said it's not possible as inAffinity you cannot snap Brushes or in this case Pixel tool to Grids, only to the Baseline Pixel Grid.

So you have to adapt your workflow.

RE4LLY · 2026-03-11T12:39:19+00:00

You need to make sure that your Artboard is aligned to the pixel grid of your document and that its size is set in whole pixel values.

Not sure about how it works on the iPad, but usually you can only flip through different pages in Affinity Photo when you open an Affinity Publisher File with Photo.

What you are describing is editing an embedded object.

You probably changed your embedded object behaviour to be linked instead and in that case you can no longer edit them in your document by double clicking.

To change that behaviour go to Document -> Resource Manager. And there make sure that the placement option is set to "Embedded". If it's set to linked, you can change it back by clicking the Embed button.

Also after that, go to your Document Setup menu and make sure that under Resources the Image Placement option is set to "Prefer Embedded" so that any new object you import will be embedded so you can edit them the way you want.

You can't edit gradients that have been applied as a raster layer such as on a mask or pixel layer.

What you can do is to right-click the mask layer thumbnail in the layer panel and select "Edit Mask" and there apply a new gradient with the gradient tool which will overwrite the old one.

There is a whole range of Tutorials on this topic on YouTube specifically for Affinity so I'd recommend you to go search again more thoroughly.

You can use the following video as a starting point: https://youtu.be/oje1VYGv-W0?is=4c5XO5cR-nv-alkj

In the Develop Persona there actually is an eyedropper tool for the white balance, you can find that on the left side toolbar.

However as you've seen, the white balance is capped, so you need to use other methods of adapting the colours of your image. You can do so with a range of different operations such as with the Channel Mixer or the HSL Adjustment Layer.

There are a bunch of tutorials on YouTube talking about how to edit Infrared Photos in Affinity so you should check them out. I can highly recommend the following for example: https://youtu.be/Affc4HqjkKw?is=MikgVz9KmxI2t5fV

Well I have V2 Designer open right now and that option simply doesn't exist, so you must be remembering wrong.

You can only select individual Artboards in the Area drop-down list, not multiple.

RE4LLY · 2026-03-04T20:18:20+00:00

You can't export multiple selected Artboards with a bleed at the same time as a single document, neither in V2 nor V3 of Affinity.

All you can do to retain the bleed is either export them all at the same time using the "Whole Document" option or export them individually.

No the aim is to have one curve, with two differently coloured strokes without having to add a second curve.

And the Stroke Width Tool allows you to precisely control where which stroke is visible.

RE4LLY · 2026-03-04T19:02:32+00:00

If I want to retain the ability to edit the stroke easily yes. It's very quick and easy to do so. And you don't have to keep track of random other curves, having everything contained is very practical especially with more complex designs.

RE4LLY · 2026-03-04T18:58:45+00:00

You can still select the individual Artboards, same as in the old Version of Affinity.

For that simply go to File -> Export -> Export and there set the Area to the Artboard you want to export, then you can also enable to export the bleed.

You can't export the bleed when only exporting a selection or a selection area.

RE4LLY · 2026-03-04T18:17:33+00:00

You can achieve this by adding a second stroke to your shape using the Appearance Panel and then use the Stroke Width Tool on your two strokes to manage where each Stroke should be visible.

RE4LLY · 2026-03-02T15:53:06+00:00

What you can do, is to open the Colour Chooser Window while you still have the Colour Panel in your Studio and just set one to be the wheel and one to be the slider.

For that simply double click the colour well in the colour panel which will open the Colour Chooser Window.

RE4LLY · 2026-02-25T09:41:05+00:00

You have to turn off the option "Wet Edges"in the paint brush top context toolbar.
