vers. 2.1 slow down
Hilltop replied to billgatto's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
In my case, W10 & MSIX, all three apps (v. 2.1) start up in around 25 seconds. -
I just tried it but the vector drawing is exported to a .png file with transparent background (version 2.1 on Windows 10).

Node, context menu
Hilltop replied to Pšenda's topic in Feedback for the Affinity V2 Suite of Products
Thanks for correcting that. You're quite right. -
Node, context menu
Hilltop replied to Pšenda's topic in Feedback for the Affinity V2 Suite of Products
I just found out that Alt+click (I guess, Option+click on Mac) does exactly that, so easier that using context menu. -
Stuart, even your sample sheets are beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

multi Oh crap...I need an 'album' cover stat, you got 3 days.
Hilltop replied to Junkbox's topic in Share your work
I like it a lot but -- looking at the dimensions of the elements, especially the logo's and tape -- thought it was a single rather than an LP cover.- 5 replies

How to have smooth lines/edges
Hilltop replied to dougie11111's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Glad you got it sorted. -
How to have smooth lines/edges
Hilltop replied to dougie11111's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Check View/View Mode. Is Pixels selected? If so, change to Vector. -
I agree that the Export and Load options would be a welcome addition to the Preset Manager. I'm not sure how it works on a MAC but on a Windows machine it's quite easy to use customized workspaces on another PC or laptop. You only have to copy & paste the required preset files into the right folders. I just did this not too long ago when I migrated them to a new PC.

Wim, take a look at the various bug threads in these forums, including those dealing with bugs in the beta version. If you read through them, you'll see that the Affinity staff are working hard to deliver the best possible software and are quite receptive to users' constructive feedback and input. They even apologize if bugs cause us problems or if desired features are not (yet) present!

One click placement
Hilltop replied to jfw222's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
I'm not sure why you would need a one-click approach but perhaps this is useful: First create a picture frame the size of the canvas, you then only have to open the image file with the Place Image Tool to have it fill the canvas automatically. -
The main Affinity documents can be previewed in browsers but the various resources not. It would be nice to be able to preview afbrushes, afasset, afonts, and afstyles files in the various browsers. It seems that at this point these files do not have embedded thumbnails that could be accessed by browsers.

...open Photo with external program
Hilltop replied to U.Ke.'s topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Interesting. So, if the OP has the Windows/.msix setup, your advice is to try the application alias and if that doesn't work, to install the .msi version. Right? -

Okay, I learned something new! -
...open Photo with external program
Hilltop replied to U.Ke.'s topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Are you on Windows and did you install Photo with the .msix installer? If so, third party apps can't access Affinity Photo. Take a look here to switch to the traditional .msi installation: -
I don't like the new UI design
Hilltop replied to Zaxonov's topic in Feedback for the Affinity V2 Suite of Products
Funny thing, for me it's the opposite. I like the new UI better but hope for further improvements (e.g., buttons for the studio panels and more right-click context options). -
Affinity Photo Transform Selection
Hilltop replied to jankljuc's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
I took another look and with a magnification of close to 600%, there's some blurriness at the edges that were extended: -
Affinity Photo Transform Selection
Hilltop replied to jankljuc's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
That's what I did. First the upper handle and then the lower, and next the screenshot. -
Affinity Photo Transform Selection
Hilltop replied to jankljuc's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Just tried this in APh 2.0.4 and I don't see what the OP described. The selected bitmap is extended w/o 'stretching issues'. -
You answered your own question: don't use shapes but text. If you have a PC and MS-Office installed, position the cursor at the point in your text where you wish the star symbol to be. Open the Glyph Browser (Window/Text/Glyph Browser) and select Segoe UI Symbol font. Type 'Star' in the search box and double-click the shape of your choice. If your on a Mac and/or don't have Office, perhaps someone else can point you to the correct font.
