just saw this one from Feb 2016
""At the very least it would be nice to reference one layer in more than one location so that any changes made to that layer propagate throughout the document."
This is coming in the 1.5 update - hopefully that code will enter beta in a few weeks (hopefully)..
Thanks,
Andy."

Well, perhaps you meant something specifically for photographers, I am not sure. I work for CG industry, not photography. And form my point of view anything precious PS introduced during last decade was available elsewhere first. For example content aware fill first appeared as a gimp plugin done by Paul Harrison years before. Seamless panorama stitching was also a few sets of open source tools. I used one done by a guy from Ukraine when PS was around number 7.
And regarding non existent functionality, it actually exists in Maya,3ds max ,Blender. Substance Designer/Painter, Fusion, After effect, Mari and so on and on, In fact any 3d soft could be an incredible image editor with limitless possibilities, just lacking a few important traditional "2d" conveniences. I still use Blender whenever I need complicated image "mesh' deform and needless to say that any Photoshop filter is pathetic comparing to what is available with shader node network. Why we still don't have node based filter constructors built within every image editor or simply some programmable dependencies in between layers is beyond me.
Looks like Houdini, Clarissa or even Blender have a good chance to be a next big "image editor" rather than what Adobe would do with Photoshop.
"Perhaps in future we might expose a node representation - but not today!
Andy"
let's just hope this will come true :wub: :)

so we expect AP to have an option to automatically do this internally right? I mean this really is very possible to implement.
Same goes for panoramas.
In the end we still need a way to properly white balance such stacks/ panoramas from RAW. This currently is very cumbersome to say the least.
LR can do this for HDR, it outputs DNG which can be whitebalanced just like a RAW afaik.
cheers :)

Of course. As a rule of thumb 16 GB RAM is too little if file sizes are regularly more than 10 GB, that is what I am saying. And 10 GB can be achieved quite easily with AP file structure. Lol.
hm never had that happen once
I usually run out of processing power with few live filter layers but RAM has never been an issue
anyway without doubt in your use case you seem to experience this issue, I appreciate that

Let's sum it up
If there is a bottleneck
Then there is a bottleneck -
I mean... you like affinity photo, right?
So just show what you like about it and how you proceed in adfinity photo.
If you are not satisfied with your own workflow, ask a question specific to that issue :)
Cheers

I have 16 GB RAM and there were slowdowns when I got to 10+ GB range in file size. I would recommend 16 GB for graphics work, more if you are serious.
You know your file is not stored in your ram? Lol
Have to look into activity monitor or elesewhete to see how ram utilitised.

-delete, does not matter here
(still can not delete stuff :ph34r: :unsure: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/13597-delete-account/?p=133437)

You're scaring the OP off Ryzens, not such a big deal; just typical new platform / architecture growing pains that are going to be remedied soon.
1600X for the win :D :D wanna see someone posting results from that into the perf. thread :wub:
I would definitely buy that one, but I'm on Mac :ph34r:
btw I've got 32GB on my Mac and this is totally irrelevant for AP, 8GB is sufficient for AP but I'd buy 16 nowadays for the future and other more demanding apps (in my case that is a PDF App and CaptureOne which eats up RAM)
cheers

Now, lets get on with the arrowheads!
LOL
has actually nothing to do with Affinity Photo nor with the DAM nor with the iPad version of AP :D :ph34r:
(btw you could use windows as well :P )
looking forward to the iPad versions(s) very much as well @Nikos :)

moonjasper,
I can appreciate your and other Linux enthusiasts' enthusiasm but your own quote actually hurts the case for bringing Affinity's products to Linux. "there is no professional graphics software in Linux" begs the question of why doesn't Adobe, quite possibly one of the money-grubbingest companies out there, make their software for Linux? Surely if there is even a small profit to be made, Adobe would do it. Adobe has lots of programmers, lots of extra cash to throw at such a project so why haven't they done it? The answer is, because the return isn't worth the effort or they would have done it by now and sure enough as soon as it is worth it, they will.
"but thousands of designers all over the world regularly ask developers to release one"-if there are only a few thousand designers who would be interested in using Linux, it isn't a big enough of a market to support the cost of porting the software to Linux. Plus if, as you pointed out, there are no professional graphic design programs on Linux, then it is fair to say that there are no professional designers using Linux, to design at least. If I lived in a country with no cats, it wouldn't make much sense to sell cat food there, would it?
I hope that Linux continues to mature and evolve but Linux has a long ways to go.
blackmagic at least did it just recently https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/3353-multi-linux-seriously-now/?p=182100

Lack of resolve, obviously! :lol:
haha yeah absolutely :D glad I did not buy color finale for some 100bugs !
-
Already had your color management tutorial bookmarked. Thanks again.
hehe :D great, thanks for letting me know, appreciate that :) hope you'll find it useful!
-
I flip back and forth between Affinity and Davinci for single images. They do have some nice tools. For some reason I also get a better grasp on color management by watching Resolve tutorials and bring that knowledge back into Affinity. Still a beginner but learning.
I definitely felt right at home in davinci as well, color management all in place :D
also: double klick to reset sliders, is such a nice feature :D :P just feels really usable :)
btw I wrote an 'easy to get into it' article about Color Management in Affinity https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/33820-color-profiles-management/?p=165094 :)

well you currently have 8 tickets on a page and turn of/ on every ticket separately?
so this can be enhanced
save a single ticket and than use this document as a placed document (go to document > place, this will place the ticket-document into your page-document, it is not linked externally but embedded into the page document, you can then replicate/dublicate the placed document) to replicate, https://vimeo.com/110134439
or use symbols https://vimeo.com/182383520
you can then edit one instance and every of the 8 tickets on the page will change
cheers

not possible but sounds useful
