[Affinity Designer Crash on Open]

Hi LilleG, 

 

Did you clear caches? 

 

Does this happen to Affinity without other apps open? 

 

Paul.  :(

Hi Bodo B,

 

I believe the latest Betas do.

 

Check them out.

[Possible to add Illustrator brushes into Designer?]

Hi Shmoo,

It looks like they are only compatible with Adobe CC+. I doubt that they would even be compatible with CS.

If it's possible to convert the brushes to a vector format that is Affinity friendly, then maybe?!

[how do you set the rgb color profile to pro photo once and for all]

how do you set the rgb color profile to pro photo once and for all. Why does it appears and disappears from the icc profile list? Why can't you make it stick to one profile?  gracias!

Hi fmlphoto, 

 

Your 'ProPhoto' .icm file is in the Adobe folder (Recommended) in Application Support: 

 

 

Copy it to the RGB Profiles folder in the ColorSync folder & Affinity should now see it & you should be able to make it the default:

Thanks, Rosa!  :D

 

BTW, the PDF is almost half the size it would have been if I'd exported it from the MAS version of AD! 

[How do i put my picture back into iphoto?]

HI .

Im quite new to photography .And i just started to used Affinity.

 

I use iphoto and I've set it to go to Affinity for editing my pics.But when im done developing my pictures and want to save it, the picture is save as a aphoto and i can't find a way to put it back into iphoto.

 

Is there a way i could edit my pictures and then make that picture go back into iphoto automatically  ?

 

Thank for your help.

 

 

Stephan.

Hi Stephan, 

 

Welcome to the forums.  :)

 

In AP, Save or Save As… is for the .afphoto format exclusively. 

 

At present, you need to export any edits to a folder of your choosing, in a format that is compatible with iPhoto/Photos (JPEG,PNG,TIFF…) and then import the edited file into iPhoto.

I have produced just the front cover in the latest Affinity Designer Beta (1.3.5.1) — better file compression in the AD file & much improved PDF export settings, great work devs!  :D

When full pre-press features come in, it will be great!

In the mean time, I made the canvas size 20mm larger than the A4 trim size to accommodate my hand drawn trim marks with a 'bleed' mask for the background image. 

 

Also, the background image was edited in AP — RAW dev, sharpening, additional lighting effects. 

 

Affinity just keeps getting better!

Huge improvement, keep up the good work!  :D

 

I'll post a file & a PDF on "Share your work" I made in this Beta, based on a job I did recently in InDesign & Photoshop… 

[Path to Selection workflow in Photo]

Thanks, MEB.

 

When I noticed this, as a workaround, I immediately duplicated the path layer so that I could convert it to a selection without losing the original path. I then hid the path layer when I had no further use for it.

That is how I produced my avatar that I use in this forum.

[HOW DO YOU SET YOUR COLOR SPACE TO PRO PHOTO RGB ??]

Hi fmlfoto,

 

I use an iMac 21.5", 16GB RAM, i7, Yosemite.

 

I have not experienced any performance issues yet with the default settings, so I haven't tried changing anything.

 

I guess that if you are curious, you can try changing things to see what happens!

Hi Tom,

Welcome to the forums.

[Why does my Mac keep updating AP and AD with the same updates?]

Hi Pentaxian,

 

Good points.

Assuming AppCleaner is not the issue, perhaps clearing caches/preferences may help?

 

Have you heard of DiskWarrior from Alsoft?

This is my go to if my iMac behaves strangely.

 

Paul.

[Why does my Mac keep updating AP and AD with the same updates?]

Hi pentaxian,

 

AppCleaner may be the cause of the problem, according to this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3718997?start=0&tstart=0

[HOW DO YOU SET YOUR COLOR SPACE TO PRO PHOTO RGB ??]

Hi fmlphoto,

Do you have the ProPhoto RGB.icc file installed?

If it is the Library folder on your system, Affinity Photo should allow you select it as your default.

[NO MORE BRUSH CIRCLES]

Hi fmlphoto,

 

I only wondered about caps lock, because it can affect the appearance of the brush cursors in PS, not sure about AP - I seldom use caps lock.

[NO MORE BRUSH CIRCLES]

Hi fmlphoto,

 

Is the caps lock on when this happens?

 

Paul.

[If I buy Affinity Design and Photo, how many computers can I load it on?]

Hi Shorty,

 

Welcome to the Forums.

 

The limit is set by the App Store terms & conditions.

 

5 devices, for personal use, provided they all use the same Apple ID.

 

Bulk licensing for business is also available.

 

Hope this helps.

[Tabbing in Dash Lines section]

Hi evtonic3,

 

I've seen a similar comment in another thread.

I have found that it is only the visual appearance of the input field that makes it seem inactive. I can tab to the next field in Affinity, start typing and it behaves as expected.

 

Hope this helps!

Paul.

Hi Lianne,

 

You won't regret it, the seamless way in which AD & AP integrate will knock your socks off, no other graphic apps compare in this regard!
