@Ash Can you add a feature of "Section Break" so in case we restart the numbering of a section on a page and it reflows down, the new page number sticks to the new page? Also, can you add a feature to fix a master page to a specific style. I format books too, and I have a special Master page of chapter openers, but If I adjust the text and it increases/decrease the page number, then suddenly the chapter opener master page is in the wrong place.

+1 for the icons at the top.

I have opened a photoshop psd file of a mock-up, it has smart objects working as embedded documents as should. However, I have copied and moved some of the smart objects, but when I edit one of them, it edits the others too. In photoshop there is an option to copy into a new unlinked smart object, but I can't find any similar function in Photo, is there any solution?

An option to convert Spot colors to CMYK or RGB would be awesome. Thanks for the info about the "press ready" black conversion, which profile do you recommend for exporting to Print On Demand platforms like KDP, lulu, IngramSpark... And lastly, Serif should prioritize features that make the apps work for large teams in professional environments like RTL and CJK languages support, print, installation files and collaboration. This is the fastest way to make more money selling multiple licenses.

The introductory offer will end on December 14.

It also has a blend tool, a 3D tool, and a shape builder.

Wow, I have that software too, I'm gonna check it out.

That's not how it really works. You probably used V1 for a couple of years saving money compared to competitors or earning income using it. And now while you'll use V2, let's say for 3 years, he'll use V1 and you both will to pay for V3. You're getting the better deal here.

He said that you have to purchase Publisher V2 in order for him to be able to arrange a V1 license.

1. Publisher auto place for images 2. Photo live mesh warp (still need hold shift for constraint to be implemented) 3. Photo multiple Layer FX

You should be looking into font creation software like FontForge or FonLab. It doesn't make any sense to add font functionality into a vector software and I don't know of any that does that.

I don't work for affinity ! and if I did, I would make languages support top-priority.

Non-Latin language support like CJK, RTL and CTL is very poor in affinity. And the company even said that this will take a long time to implement and they have other things to focus on. So I won't expect a fix in the near future.

Yes, offline activation is needed even now especially for security reasons.

What he said is that the universal license requires you to connect to the internet to activate it. In case someone can't, like corporations doing it for security reasons, then they can't activate it. If outage or a disaster happens to Affinity servers, or if they decided to shut them down, you won't be able to install it on new hardware. This means you lost your right to use it.

I think someone contacted them and they replied that if you bought V1 90 days before V2 release you can another discount on top of the %40.

+ for RTL even though I know it'll take a long time to be implemented.

Alcohol is not a necessity. Drink water.

Seems to be a major point for large companies. They should offer exe installers if they want to boost sales.

I Was serious BTW

That's a good argument. If a guy who purchased V1 was on vacation and missed on the 40% sale, then he won't really get any upgrade discount.

Good to see Brexit is working well for you.

Good to realize that it's absent in Designer too.

Every software company stock plummeted in the last year including zoom, spotify and hardware like AMD, nvidia. The sudden rise is to all stocks too due to the federal bank saying that they'll stop increasing the interest rate. The people who didn't get their needed features implemented got angry. And to be honest, there are things that render the software unusable to for a lot of graphic design work. Luck of complex layout text and RTL languages support, even sino languages users complain all the time from luck of vertical text and punctuation support. And luck of ebook export too. I understand that the company can't add everything at once, and they also has the right to ask for another round of payment after 3-8 years of free updates. But I guess a not of people's work can't wait for another couple of years for them to be implemented and need them now.

Maybe Affinity Photo is better for scaling up or down images with preserving pixel information natively is better than Photoshop Smart Objects. But Smart Objects can help a lot for warping objects for muckups and quick change of logo and other elements. With the Mesh Warp being a live filter now, that's good, but still not as good as Smart Objects. It's really the only feature I miss from Photoshop.
