I've had Affinity Designer for a while but still had to pull out Photoshop for a lot of stuff. I decided to get Affinity Photo and wow. For what I do, it works better and is easier to use than Photoshop CS6. No way was I going to do the CC ball and chain. $49 is a steal for this product and it will work well with AF Designer. I just finished up cleaning up an old photo of my mom using AF Photo. It was a lot easier than PS CS6!

I downloaded the trial, opened it up and forgot and deleted it. I downloaded it again to try it out but it says my trial has ended. Is there a way to get a new trial of affinity photo? I own affinity designer but wanted to try out photo.

Hi dannyj,
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it will not be included in the 1.5 update that goes to the App Store. As Miguel has said, it is something that we do intend to add, but we have a number of other issues that are taking priority at present.
Thanks,
Matt
That is bad/sad news. I'll have to stick with Adobe till that gets implemented :(

Hi dannyj,
Yes, there will be export previews at some point but there's no ETA for this, sorry.
Can you say if it is going to be in the 1.5 final version? Thank you for the quick reply.
-
Will there be an export preview in the near future? I keep hoping with each beta but sadly I don't see one. My job is web design and I need to know the size and quality of the images I'm exporting, especially when working on mobile versions of projects.
-
Are there plans to have an export preview for slices?
Also the export options selection panel seems to be non selectable.
-
Is there an export preview? I don't see it. I'd really like to use Affinity Designer for production in my web work when it gets out of Beta but I can't if there isn't going to be an export preview.
I normally use Photoshop and sometimes Illustrator. I'd love to move away from Adobe products. I'm hoping Affinity Designer is the tool that I'm looking for but I need to see how my files are exporting in some sort of an export preview.

Here's a link to a sample psd file: https://textron.box.com/s/hi3sfeons0q5q6b7nfoqxwoy0ozc3591
Are there Blend Gamma settings that will replicate the sharp/crisp/strong/smooth settings?

I imported a PSD layered file into Affinity Designer and everything looked fine except the text/font rendering looked lighter in Affinity Designer. I think it had something to do with the anti-aliasing method setting in photoshop. Is there a way to set anti-aliasing in Affinity Designer?

Is there a way to select only the visible area in a group to export for web? I keep selecting a group but it selects the masked areas outside of the visible area I want to select.
-
Wonderful! That should be made a prominent feature with it's own button. Thank you, David.
-
It would be nice to be able to export for the web from a selected item instead of having to make a slice first.
-
That works. It's really no more steps than duplicate in PS. Also, I wish I would of thought of that obvious answer!
-
I would love Trim in Designer
-
It would be nice to be able to duplicate a layer to a new document. I often use this feature. It's not a must have but a convenience.

Hello, I'm Danny Riggs. I've been flitting around looking for an app that acted more like Adobe Fireworks. As a "seasoned" web developer, I used Fireworks till it didn't work that well anymore, switched to Photoshop and have used that for years and years. My problem is that Illustrator and Photoshop seem to be overkill for most of the things I do. Getting Sketch helped but it just isn't enough for what I want. I finally found Affinity Designer and think I've found a home. I am absolutely loving this product and I'm excited that it will soon adopt many of the features that Fireworks had. Now I can do vector and photo work in the same app! Thanks.. (wiping a tear away) ..for the great work on this app - please NEVER go to a subscription service :) .

I just bought Affinity Designer and I'm really liking it so far. When I make a gradient mask on an image. is there a way to adjust the opacity of the individual mask? I may have multiple masks but it don't seem to be able to adjust the opacity of an individual mask. Only the whole layer.

Hi dannyj,
Welcome to Affinity Forums :)
Select the image object/layer you want to apply the mask, click Mask Layer at the bottom of the Layers panel. The mask will be attached to that object/layer (collapse the layer if needed to see the mask attached, as opposed to inside the layer. If you expand the layer, the layer mask has a bigger indenting than regular objects). Now select the mask layer clicking on its thumbnail on the layers panel, change to the Gradient tool and drag it over the area you want to fade on the canvas: use the stop colours of the gradient (grayscale) to define the level of transparency of the fade.
If you want to create multiple fades on the same image, select the same Image object/layer again and repeat the process above (or right-click on the thumbnail's mask in the layers panel and select duplicate, then adjust the direction of the gradient of the newly attached mask). You can add as much mask layers as you need.Beautiful! It works just like you said. I bought Sketch a while back, moving from Photoshop/Fireworks/Illustrator but Sketch isn't quite enough. I think I'm buying Affinity Designer tonight. I'm looking forward to the updates coming around the bend!

Thank you all. I will try this this afternoon and let you know how it goes.

I'm a web designer and I'm also new to Affinity Designer. When I have an image in photoshop, I would add a mask, grab the gradient tool and drag the area that I want to fade out to zero opacity. If I want different areas to be faded out in the same image, I can drag the gradient tool in different directions and get multiple "fades" on different directions in the same mask. Is there a way to do that in Affinity Designer or to achieve the same effect with masks?

I see that a 1.6 project may not be editable in a 1.5 project. If I create a 1.6 project will I be able to edit it in the future beta and final versions of AD?
