Hi Sun, Just search for 'seriflabs': Hope this helps. Paul. -
Hopefully, it is not because some keys are dodgy!

Hi jackamus, One thing I like about the Mac is the options for helping people with less than 20/20 vision (myself included)! The zoom settings in the system settings could be an option for you in the mean time, a picture in picture feature means that wherever you point the pointer it is zoomed like a magnifying glass as illustrated below: Also, adjusting the ui gamma may help: Paul.

Hi jackamus, I tried to replicate your problem in Affinity Designer. It appears that if you don't hold down the Command key or have your finger only softly touching the Command key, then the z key toggles to the zoom tool. Hope this helps. Paul.

You're very welcome!

That's strange. Can you private message me your email address & I will send my PDF to you via Hightail. This is how mine looks: Paul.

Thanks, Matt. I tend to see things as 'different', rather than 'wrong'. ;) I prefer to find out why things aren't working as I expected & once a solution is found, I will presume that it is just how to do things in future! If you say it's a bug, then so be it! Paul.

Hi jimmyng, Welcome to the Forum. The App Store terms and conditions apply to all apps purchased via the App Store. As long as you are using up to 5 Macs with the same Apple ID, then you can install your apps on these devices. If you look in Purchased Items in the App Store, on a Mac you have not previously installed the app on, it will have an Install button next to it. Hope this is clear & helps. Paul.

Hi agl & MattP, The bottom layer needed to have Passthrough set. I succeeded in exporting a good PDF now (too large to attach). Revised .afdesign file attached.

Hi Claudio, There is an open source, third party app you could try called Hugin. I have been using it with some success on my iMac, it can be downloaded here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/hugin/files/latest/download I hope this helps in the mean time. Paul. -
Affinity Photo is in the Mac App Store Now!
Paul Bravery replied to Dale's topic in News and Information
I'm also testing AD & AP in El Capitan Public Beta. So far, so good. -
Hi SenorCthulu, It means Affinity Photo, Affinity Photo also needs to be installed for this function to work. Paul.
-
Hi Bunts, That is probably because the Beta is still in the Applications folder. Trash the Beta & empty the Trash, it should be gone from Launchpad then. Paul.

Hi theLion7, Is it possible for you to upload the file that caused the crash? Paul. -
Hi Signguy, I tested both the AD MAS & AD Beta + AP Beta on my existing Yosemite 10.10.4 (14E46) installation & a clean install of Yosemite 10.10.4 (14E46) on an external drive. I had not noticed it before, but the Open dialogs are just different between versions, along with other 'under the hood changes'. Screen shots: So it's just a difference, not anything 'wrong'. Paul.
-
No worries, catch up later.
-
Hi Signguy, Thanks for the info. I was more concerned that Yosemite was at the same version number on both MBP's. It's possible that there are issues with the Preferences on one or both MBP's. I'm at work, on an old Mac Pro running Snow Leopard so I can't run Affinity here. I shall pick this up on my Yosemite iMac at home in around 4 hours. Hopefully someone else will be able to sort it out for you before then! Paul.
-
Hi Signguy, Could you click on the Apple menu of both Macs & choose 'About This Mac', then post a screen shot of both info boxes please? Cheers, Paul.
-
One is a Finder window & the other is an Open dialog in Affinty.
-
Hi Kerstin, Could you upload the vector file you are having issues with, please? I'll have a look & see if there's something I can do to 'fix' it. Paul.

Hi Pratyush, As @MEB has said, the AD Beta has a better SVG export function. I found that your file exports best with no rasterising, screen shot of SVG zoomed in & viewed in Firefox: SVG file I exported without rasterising: I hope this adresses your question adequately. Paul.

Hi beachwood25, By invert, do you mean flip (transform)? Paul.
-
Hi SixTwo, Welcome to the forum. I am using both the paid version & Beta Trial of AD. Try clicking on the View menu & seeing if any or all the items in Studio are checked or unchecked: Paul.

Hi all, I've just noticed that if I set the default app to open .afdesign files to Affinity Designer, it also becomes the default to open .afphoto files and vice versa if I set the default for .afphoto files to Affinity Photo. Am I right in assuming this is because of the commonly shared code base & does this explain why the documents have generic icons instead of custom icons that readily identify them as .afphoto or .afdesign files? Paul.

Hi Michael, If you get .ai files using LaB colour space in the spot colours for some objects, it is not too difficult to locate them in the sub layers in Studio> Layers: If you want your supplier of .ai files to edit their file, then all they need to do is convert the Pantone colour space to CMYK – then the file will convert the Pantone colour to its CMYK equivalent. Paul.
