Tobias.VFX started following Voodoo Man (Character Head), Save Custom Workspaces, Missing transparency protection function and and 2 others

Please enable the ability to save custom workspaces in Photo, Designer, and Publisher. Often, the end user will need to create custom workspaces for various workflows. At present, none of the Affinity products allow for saving and recalling custom workspaces to apply to different workflow needs. While the ability exists to change the default workspace that loads each time you launch the application, as an end user we are "stuck" with only one option or reverting to factory defaults and starting over with a new desired layout. This is highly inefficient. I've discovered that the code has already been completed for this feature but for some reason has not been provided as an option to us. Please correct this blunder as soon as humanly possible. Custom workspaces are standard practice in virtually all professional workflows. Thank you kindly!

Missing transparency protection function
Tobias.VFX replied to Michail's topic in Feedback for Affinity Photo on Desktop
+1 Pretty please add TRANSPARENCY LOCK! One simple "lock transparency" button in the layers panel applicable to all brush type tools (brush, , smudge, erase, etc.). Assign customization for a shortcut key to it so it can be toggled on the fly. This allows many of us doing iterative design and concept work to get through block ins and finish work efficiently without having to get out of a full canvas view (hidden studio), hunt for the layer to ensure selection, and then hunt for the "protect alpha" button on the specific tool we are using. On some layouts, the button will be hidden which requires an additional click to reveal a menu to find it. Highly inefficient when you're deep in a workflow. This feature would be enormously appreciated! Thank you for your consideration! -

Hmm, ok. Designer isn't relevant to the OP issue. I'll try what you suggest. Another workflow option is smoothing edges in the finalization stage of a painting which works "ok" but isn't really the ideal or suggested way to go about things as this can be destructive to the final product and is not time efficient at all. Totally not poking at Affinity here but I can tell you that this issue is significantly less in your competitors app. I tested it side by side. It's apparent that the algorithm in use by Affinity for edge processing could use a good looking at. Just a suggestion. It's one of those things that once you see it you can't unsee it and it leaves a sour impression in terms of quality. I know when I realized it, I was actually surprised because Affinity is really knocking it out of the park with just about everything else. I've actually come to discover that other users have raised this issue as far back as 2015. If there are other apps on the market that have succeeded in this area, I'm unsure as to why Affinity hasn't done the same. I'm really enjoying all of the Affinity apps for the record. I became a convert some time ago.

Hey all. I've attached an image to illustrate what I'm experiencing in AP. I'm curious if there's a setting I'm missing somewhere that will address the very noticeable aliasing I see in wand selections. I've tried a handful of tests and can't seem to get rid of it. I'm expecting to see a smooth anti-aliased edge on my selection. I've tried various 'tolerance' settings from 0 to N# to no avail. Aliasing persists. Any tips? Latest production version of AP btw.

Originally sketched a lay in and then did all the finish work in AP. Horror themed. https://www.artstation.com/artwork/k4dekl

This is just a quick character head concept from a sketch I did yesterday. Brought it into AP for inking, toning, and finish work. https://www.artstation.com/artwork/k4dGLn

Brush Stroke Lag - V 1.7.2.471
Tobias.VFX replied to Tobias.VFX's topic in Pre 1.9 Photo Bugs found on Windows
This actually helped a great deal. I missed that the XP-Pen dialogue had a toggle for Windows Ink that seems to be independent of the system settings. Turning this off helped a lot. I've messed with a select set of brushes as well but didn't notice too much of a big difference. That's probably because my machine is really powerful. I imagine someone would notice a greater different with a lower spec machine. -
Brush Stroke Lag - V 1.7.2.471
Tobias.VFX replied to Tobias.VFX's topic in Pre 1.9 Photo Bugs found on Windows
Hi Chris, Yes. I just tested that out. There's about a 2 ms delay in the stroke no matter what brush I use. Not sure if this is within "normal" tolerance but it makes drawing and painting by hand really awkward. Tobias
