If you are a new arrival to this thread and have found that it is locked but still want to show your support for Affinity on Linux, simply like this post

Thanks Bones,
Early days for sure - we will be looking to the beta user community to help us make sure we get this right, when we are in a position to release a build which supports it.

Hi again,
Further to the other things, we are looking to add more support for game art users - can't promise this for 1.9 but we are working on it..
 

 
(I have two documents open here - you can see the texture itself, the other document is the normal map - both are being edited and a realtime preview is being rendered on a .obj model in the new Model panel).
Thanks,
Andy.
 

Hi,
We have managed to get the texture presets in for 1.9 too

Hi,
I am pleased to report that we have been working through some of the items mentioned here:
 
- In Photo 1.8.3, the [ and ] keys will step the Pixel Brush in exact, single pixel sizes.
- Brush rotation is already available using the left / right arrow keys.
- We have added the ability to create brushes from the current selection in Photo 1.9 - which will become available in beta in a few weeks.
- Circle selection can be set to "from centre" in Photo 1.9.
 
We will continue adding / fixing the things reported
 
Thanks,
Andy.

Thank you for the screenshots. It works perfectly fine.

Go into
Edit > Preferences > Performance
and change Renderer to Warp
This will help determine if the problem is related to your graphics card
Things may run a little slower on Warp but use it for a while and report back if the problem still exists or has gone away

Hey guys, first I want to congratulate the Affinity for all the progress they've achieved all these years. You made such incredible progress with such a small team, regardless of your pricing model compared to the other A-team.
So compliments aside, I was really blown away by the StudioLink feature and since I don't work in publishing, this could still be really handy for my workflow while working in Designer and instead switching to the Pixel Persona, just switch to the Affinity Photo module/persona (if it's installed of course), which is a lot more powerful than the old Pixel Persona.
This was always my dream, and I see that was yours as well, having a single interface where you can work on anything from publishing to vector to photo editing and best of all use a single file format like .AFF or something which would open in something like Affinity Studio which would be more like a container for all the Affinity apps you have installed. Or just keep one software (Affinity Studio) which when you buy it, you would just buy/activate the modules you need like Publisher and Photo for some people or just Designer and Photo, like in my case, for others.
Is this the direction your moving towards? If yes, then you guys could finally pull off something that the other A-team could dream of and would make your company a serious alternative to theirs software, especially for big creative agencies.
Good luck,
Cristian

Thanks for the quick response btw

If you could just integrate these two programs into one seamless app then you would have a perfect replacement for Adobe Fireworks. I'm not a fan of switching from one to the other

Dear Affinity Team,
Firstly your app is amazing. I love it. There is only one small complaint. I am a 3d Artist and designer and I use this app to create Diffuse, Alpha, Specular maps for my 3d models. However, adding a feature to create a Normal from Diffuse map will be much help.  Is it possible to add the feature that creates Normal maps from the Diffuse maps in Affinity Photo Desktop Please? It will be a very useful feature that creates a more competitive app and encourages more 3D artist and designers to use your app. I know that there are stand-alone apps that just creates the Normal map and Photoshop CC has this feature included.
 
Thank you,
Ali
