I was looking to convert scanned 16bit .tiffs to lossless JPEGXL (about 59% the original size with Krita, and 76% the size of a PNG version). Apparently, unless one uses the terminal, there are no options available for a GUI batch exporter (XnConverter only does 8-bit). Leveraging the Affinity batch exporter for this would be great.
 
Edit: I forgot Dartable and DigiKam would also work...

While exporting JPEG XL files is possible, so far only lossy compression is supported. JXL is a feature-rich format, but being unable to store data losslessly limits its use as a modern alternative to TIFF or PNG. Therefor an addition of this feature would be beneficial.

Hi guys. I want to take part in help for Affinity Photo. Here is custom make grass brushes and example, that was made by me. If you have any comments or ideas to add/fix them - i will adjust/update them.
Each brush - it is not only one image, but at least 3 different variations of it. So when you draw - it draws in series 1,2,3,1,2,3,....like frames in movies - so the grass texture looks more natural and random.
The brush rotates according to drawing direction/route. If you don't need it - got to brush settings Dynamic/Rotation jitter - and set it to ZERO %
 
2017.12.24 - Version updated to 0.2. See attached pictures for explanations   Also i attach small palette for green hues.
2017.12.18 - They are 4 brushes. First 3 - intensity brushes, and last one - image brush.

Texture Brushes [Hatching] 
Updated the brush set something I have meaning to do for a while!
Changes/improvements as below
Version 3.0
1. Removed old versions (original first sets x20 brushes!)..redundant now..
2. Made some changes to the brush dynamics and nozzles. All nozzles are now vector based replacing previous raster versions (as much as possible)
3. There are significant number of new nozzles for the brushes (Particularly Hatching 01) Which means they are not like original sets..
4. The previous 6 brush sets have been merged together (making things easier!) and there are now just 2 sets.
5. Made use of the 1.7/1.8.2 brush engine in AD/AP to allow rotation to be defined in the subset...So you can now adjust the created mesh pattern by rotating the nozzle in the sub-brush
6. Updated the Sample sheets to newer (latest) layout..Sub brushes are displayed in red.
 Version 2.0 (archived)
With Zip containing a total of 60 brushes (6x10) and Sample Sheet (PDF)
Changes for version 2.0:1. New larger texture nozzles 
2.  40 new brushes
3. Modified Brush Dynamics (Flow, accumulation and rotation)
4. Reduced reliance on scattering and scale jitter

Summary: Would love to see the ability to color code layers with a set of premade colors. This would affect the Layers UI, not the image itself.
 
Usage: A great way of organizing layers. I can color code all my text layers Blue, all my painted layers Red, some special effects layers green. Then when I am trying to find those layers inside a 300 layer file, it's easier to find them then by name alone.
 
Thanks!
