Hi vit,
Pantone & spot colours are not supported yet.
It has been submitted as a feature request.
Hopefully it won't take too long to implement.

Hi creatorsite,
Affinity Designer is for vector drawing/text & Affinity Photo is for raster image manipulation.
Having said that, Affinity Designer is a hybrid app with pixel based features as well.
Affinity Photo also works seamlessly with Affinity Designer, in that the vector components are retained sharp & can keep their sharpness when scaled.
The thing that determines the jaggedness or otherwise is what resolution at print size you choose for any file export (preferably between 150 - 300 dpi).
I have both Designer & Photo, which I highly recommend you to purchase.

Hi stewartwatson,
Is it a RAW (.dng) file?
Some RAW files exhibit this issue, it may be a compatibility problem.

Hi photofriend,
You can use the History slider to go back to the beginning or any stage in between.

Hi stubborndog,
There is a customer beta update you can download & install alongside the MAS version.

Hi Thomas,
It may be an idea to contact Apple Support as well.
Your i7 5K iMac should perform better, not worse.
Other than the i5 having a lesser cpu & graphics card, it seems to me that your i7's graphics card may just be malfunctioning (assuming your other components are optimal).

Hi. I am in the tall grass here and could use some advice. My frame of reference is Omnigraffle and Visio, with a little photoshop and pixelmatr thrown in.
I have a project to create large circular diagrams that have 365 equal marks on the outside of the circle, twelve full 30 degree wedges on the inside, and 64 marks on the inside of the outer rim, with all three elements aligned at a single point. There would be other graphical elements, but these are the ones I would want to automate at least the alignment for. Will I have to draw each mark manually? Can I get designer to space them evenly/exactly for me? Is there another tool to use?
Thanks.

How can I save a file from affinity photo to jpg (300 dpi). Right now when I am export to jpg, the dpi is 96.
Hi Roydesign,
You will need to check what size your .afphoto file is by choosing Resize Document:
You may need to change the dpi first and then export:
The exported JPEG file:
Hope this helps.

Our Freehand import code does not currently attempt to import text - quite simply because there's an awful lot of code required to make the text import work and even if we get it to read in correctly, it will be formatted differently by our text layout engine compared to Freehand... So it does have value, but it's not trivial and it's unlikely to work perfectly in reality - so we focused our attention on other areas of the program instead... There's obviously scope to revisit this and add it in the future, but for the files that we received during beta testing while we were adding the Freehand importer, the vast majority of all files comes in successfully (by this, I mean that the files we received and used to build our importer obviously weren't text-heavy and it didn't seem like too much of a trade-off that text was not implemented yet)
Leigh, the file should work if you add the extension .fh11 - Freehand had a novel thing of not adding its own extension when you saved files so you got a lot of extension-less files! :S [EDIT] - Ha, Paul beat me to it - thanks, Paul! :D
Thanks,
Matt
Thanks, MattP.
That no extension thing is a hangover from the old Mac days when extensions weren't necessary. ;)

Hi Al Catullo & Leigh,
I've opened the file in AD & saved it as an AD file.
Uploaded in this thread.

What version Freehand are you using, Al Catullo?
Maybe adding .fhx (x is the version number) might help.

Hi Colin,
With regard to boat anchors, would you hold the same opinion of Photoshop® or The Gimp because they do not have the Aperture feature you like?
Have you tried the Feature Request link I mentioned?

I am first time user and cannot find information on how to get my photos from photo library into Affinity for me to edit.
Hi jomac,
You can use the View menu to open the Media Browser & then drag and drop the image into Affinity, screen shots below:
Merry Christmas!

Alan, thank you so much for your reply. Nah, it's not the same. What's going on? I want a full screen with a floating HUD! I now have a useless small screen. This is hopeless! Can't be that hard...
Hi Colin,
Perhaps you can suggest what you want in Feature Requests, I don't know of any other group of commercial software devs who are so keen to please.
As far as refunds go, it would be through Apple as your purchase is from the App Store — Check your emailed receipt from Apple.
