Will do, thank you

This topic has more-than-likely been addressed 100 times over, but it’s the first time it’s happened to me. Is anyone else experiencing the same issue? I've had my account for a few years (I regularly dip in and out of it) and all of a sudden I cant 'login'??????????

Well the way I look at it, MikeW your right, to a point, I've done that myself in the past, printed off actual mock-up posters etc that the client can get their hands around but more often than that, I've been to meetings where a lot of my clients have requested digital presentions beforehand, rather than physical presentation.

Hello Affinity, I really need to be able to use mockups to showcase my work to clients so they can see what their brands etc are going to look like when implemented in the real world scenarios through a PSD Mock-up. it's becoming very frustrating and off-putting ( as in the use of Affinity Products) that I cannot use a PSD Smart Object. I've seen numerous tutorials, using all sorts of weird and wacky workarounds to try to and get a smart object to work in Affinity Products ( a lot of which are very time consuming, and time is an important factor to a designer, especially with scheduled projects). As a designer, I just want to be able to open a PSD Smart Object, place in my logo, press CTRL and Save ( JOB DONE). Here a suggestion, what about Affinity buy out Photopea and built its technology into both "Photo" and "Designer" as a smart object persona tool? I'm sure I speak for a lot of designers that have made the switch from Adobe to Affinity https://www.photopea.com/

pppppplllllllllllllllllllllllleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasssssssssssssssssseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, for the love of sweet holy mary mother of GOD, if the Affinity team can create three fantastic apps to save and rescue the lives of designers around the world from the evil grip of Adobe I'm sure its not too much to ask the affinity team to add "Image Trace" to Affinity Designer and "Smart Object support" to "Affinity Photo" before my head explodes with designer frustration. I rely heavily on both to create and present work to clients. I've tried numerous online tutorials to work around a PSD Mock-Ups in Photo and Designer and I can't get either to work. I've just lost one client because of this, as they wanted to see what their logo would look like on a van because there's no "smart object"it in either application I've lost a lot of money.

I should have seen that coming, very good Alfred, lol Alfred, do you know of any online lynda.com styled training courses based around the affinity products that I could lookup? Thanks

When I sign into my official Affinity Account, in the "Learn" section under the "Affinity Publisher" subsection there a few tutorials based around the creation of a book "Alice In Wonderland". The few tutorials that there are in this subsection, are very good but there are only bits and pieces, I'd love to learn how to create the entire Alice In Wonderland Book using Affinity Publisher, in a lynda.com style training course. Would it be possible for the Affinity team to release such a training course for affinity users? Thanks Affinity team, keep kicking Adobes arse.

Love the applications, Affinity Photo, Designer and Publisher but I've one ot two suggestions 1: Affinity Photo / Designer - Would it be possible in the next set of updates for both applications to have "Smart Object" support, so I can place my designs onto Mockup PSD's 2: Affinity Designer - (a)Would be possible again with the next set of updates to include an " Image Trace" option, that would be fantastic? (b) for Affinity Designer, if yous could make the pen tool really easy to use, instead of "Click and Drag" to form a curve. Thanks Affinity Team, keep up the good work

Hello, I'm Affinmac, would just like to say to all involved at Affinity, congrats and well done for standing up for all creatives ( especially students) by taking the war to Adobe with the Affinity products, Adobe, a bunch of money-grabbing gangsters. if yous find yourselves at any point completely overtaking Adobe in the production and development of creative software for the masses, never give in to them, whatever you do, don't let them try to buy you out
