  1. This is 100% my bad, I also dealt with updating DaVinci Resolve the same day... which was the issue I described. Affinity's 500MB full installs still feel rather much but not to that degree. Yeah, this thread can be closed/deleted.
  2. I feel like every other time I open Affinity Photo or Designer, it's telling me that there's an update available, which is ~1.5GB, which then has to be unzipped to another 1.5GB file, which then extracts itself to a 2.5GB temp folder, which finally copies into the install folder. I have a fast but undersized SSD on this laptop, and I'm fairly sick of having to decide what to shunt over to a backup drive each time; I don't even know why the download is zipped in the first place, since it's a single file that's a signed executable. Would it be possible to use MSPs for point update versions instead of a full install each time?
  3. I'm getting so pissed off trying to do simple little things like this in Photo. I select part of a layer, press delete, and it deletes the whole friggin layer, instead. There's no context menu on the canvas, so there's no way to know what it is that you are supposed to do. If you have multiple layers, it seems that Affinity's only option is to scrub a goddam eraser across the entire selected area, since it wants to delete whole layers willy-nilly.
  4. I don't know if I'm missing something obvious, but in Photoshop, you make a selection, right click it, choose Transform Selection, and you can resize, and also rotate! This makes it super easy to I can't see any way at all of doing this in Affinity Photo. It's great for making little rotated blackout boxes in photos! And it's really super awesome to have an easy visual rotate and expand/contract. Also, bug related to selections: Drag+RDrag expands the selection. Unless... you release the right button before the left. Whoops! Old selection's gone, now you only have the new one!
  5. Once you make a selection, you should be able to command-drag it to move the underlying pixels around. Cut-past isn't necessary, unless it's completely different than the Windows version (which does this with Ctrl-drag).
  6. Why are you asking about the pricing of a hypothetical version that isn't on the roadmap and may never even be released?
  7. There are lots of places where having logarithmic sliders would be so much more useful than the linear ones. (I have the same complaint about Photoshop, but it's not like Adobe's going to listen.) Take exposure, most of the fiddling will be trying to get the mouse in that one pixel somewhere between, say, 0.4 and 0.5. (Even on a 4K monitor, there's only one step in between.) Each step is an enormous difference in brightness and ultimately the power user has to resort to typing things in to see how they look. On the other hand, it goes out to +20, which is fine for occasional needs, but gives equal weight to +19.45, +19.50, and +19.55. Is that reeeeeeeeeeeeeally necessary at that point? The whole point of logarithmic sliders is to give a finer scale where it's needed, and a coarser one where precision is unimportant. There are lots of adjustment sliders where this makes sense, since most small adjustments call for precision and most large adjustments are fine being coarse. I searched and surprisingly, no one seems to have brought this up? Side note: The behavior of the exposure slider with the arrow keys is a straight up bug; 0, -20, and +20 are the only options.
