zuriel,
Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums.
Serif do not plan to produce the Affinity Designer Workbook in any other languages. English and German are the only ones for this printed publication, sorry.

Raghu,
Welcome to the Affinity Forums
Please be aware that the trial version is exactly the same as the purchase version. There are no missing or disabled features. If you cannot find a feature then perhaps you have not appreciated that there are 2 programs different Affinity Designer and Affinity Photo with independent features. Perhaps you are looking at tutorials for one and not for the other.
Also the Windows version and the Mac version are as identical as possible so there are no major feature differences, only OS differences like Finder/Explorer.

Jindra,
We tend not to make feature changes in minor point releases (1.5.1 to 1.5.2) and concentrate on fixes. Improvements and new features are made with major releases (1.5.x to 1.6.y)
Affinity Photo Windows 1.5.2 is already in customer beta here for you to benefit from the fixes if you need them, and will be released soon enough, but with no changes to macros sorry.

When there is a customer beta you get the download from a link in a post pinned at the top of this beta forum
https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/forum/33-designer-beta-on-windows/
There isn't a customer beta at the moment.

You need to appreciate that because Affinity Photo is a MAc App store application we are sandboxed (or we could not sell through the app store for security reasons). That means that we simply cannot see the sidecar files as I understand it. If we moved away from selling through the Mac App Store then this would be easier to program.

is the price not include the shipping anymore?
Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums
The price never included the shipping, it is extra and variable amounts around the globe.

rrbachamp,
Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums. Thanks for your input.This discussion is a bit like this. "I used to live in France, but I decided I liked the look of Germany, it suits me better in so many ways. Disney have built a Disneyland in Paris, France, and although there are some fairly good parks in Germany there is nothing like a Disneyworld Germany at the moment. Please build one. I would pay the entrance fee and so would my friends."
It's nice to know that you would like one, but we are currently focusing on what we have now or have already announced, and realistically will do so exclusively for quite some time.

In the old PhotoPlus, ....?
barrows643,
Welcome to the Serif Affinity Forums.
This is the introduce yourself thread, where you...er... introduce yourself. Please ask questions in the questions and feedback forum.

Of course. That's true. But then I'd question if it was the right deal they made by acquiring these particular artworks for this kind of useage.
To your second paragraph: just to be clear: I'm not questioning the download per chapter part of this but that in the book is only the last part of the link visible. for example: coreskills instead of https://affin.co/coreskills. besides that I haven't even seen any instructions where the https://affin.co/ part is mentioned. (but maybe I just missed it)
You didn't miss it, this very oversight was addressed in the German version of the book (following the confusion on this for the English version), and this would be changed for any second run of the English book.
"https://affin.co/coreskills"looks much more like a URL than "affin.co/coreskills" and the latter was overlooked by many people. It should have been explained on Page 9 in the "Project Resources" section but the actual file access was not explicit, sorry

simpatico,
Welcome to the Serif Affinity Forums :)
Our trial version is 100% functional. You do not need to uninstall and reinstall at all. If a tool is non functioning it is caused by you not having the correct type of layer or object selected . That always determines the enabling of the tools.

Has Affinity ever thought about a video editor? ..

There are a lot of people who bought the Workbook and they are complete frustrated regarding this download issue.
PLEASE HELP !!!
And please: only complete URLs - no fragments.
Thank you very much in advance (maybe for a new thread with only this information?)...

Took me less than an hour to decide that Affinity Photo was completely unsuited to my needs.
Wow, that's cold.

enough time to evaluate the Affinity Photo Designer
Hopefully it's enough time to realize Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer are two independent applications. It amazing how many people buy one app thinking its the other and don't understand why the video tutorial (for the other app) can't be followed!

I bought the book last year, waited two months but can not received it.
Could you please give me some advice to buy the book again for Chinese user?
We have had to stop delivering to China. as we had so many problems. Despite the high delivery charge by our fulfilment service it was unreliable. I will see if there is anything that can be done. We do deliver to Hong Kong if you can get it posted on by someone there. We could attempt another delivery manually, but the lead time is over a month and Amazon fulfilment tend not to supply tracking on these orders, making them very frustrating from your part and ours.

Sorry, but I changed MEB's initial response. Just type in the word as it appears on 262 and nothing else https://affin.co/fis....and you will get a zip file fisherman.zip containing fisherman_01_sketch.afdesign and the other files needed in that chapter.
Pleased you got it working.

No it shouldn't I understand what you meant. The next beta will be 1.5.3.nn then 1.5.3.nn+1, then 1.5.3.nn+2 before the next retail 1.5.3.nn+3 meaning we are beta testing 1.5.3.xx while 1.5.2 is the release version. End of

Petar,
> why there is no information about this new version in "News and information" forum?
because on the launch day of the Trail there was a lot to do, and this had to wait. Its there now.
> And BTW it should be numbered 1.5.3 because the Beta version is 1.5.2.57. Why is it going retrograde? This version is numbered 1.5.2.58 and it is not Beta but retail one. It is very confusing.
It's not that confusing. The previous release was 1.5.1.43. All the customer betas after that were called 1.5.2.xx (46, 47, 48, 49 - 57). These customer beta builds were all leading up to a release build of an official 1.5.2.xx. Next we will do a customer beta of 1.5.3.xx (but only if we need to update 1.5 again before 1.6.0 is ready to go to customer beta).

We are pleased to announce the second update for Affinity Designer for Windows (version 1.5.2).
The update is described here and can be downloaded from here. Once downloaded, close Affinity Designer and run (double click) the downloaded EXE to install it.
To install this version you will need to have the Affinity Designer for Windows already installed OR you will need to type in your email address and a valid Product key when prompted. When installing on top of an existing version you will not be prompted for the product key. If you need it you can find your product key (and a download button) in your Affinity store account, where you will also find the email address used to generate the key when you ordered the software.
If you have installed any previous customer beta version of Affinity Designer 1.5.2, it can be safely uninstalled before or after installing this release update, they are independent installs. The beta will stop working soon anyway.
Please report any problems you have installing or using this new version in the Windows forum here

Thanks

Not only Google, but also Bing, Yahoo! and DuckDuckGo. Probably other major search engines, too.
Thanks Alfred, do they all use site: as the syntax?
-
Turns out the search cannot search for 1 2 or 3 letters, so the minimum search is 4 (I've changed the setting so it reports the same when you look for FUR) The blocked words list is not obvious in the admin control panel, but I understand why HTML is blocked.

I agree that this is far from any good
for now you could use the site: search of google
- type "site:forum.affinity.serif.com border" and you get these results
- type "site:forum.affinity.serif.com fur" and you get these results
We are planning to upgrade the forum software from IPBoard 3.4 to 4.1. I really hope that the forum search facilities/results improve and the indexing is more in our control. resulting to google is only for those in the know...
Suggestion: captioned/subtitles added to tutorial videos

ASLdesigner,
Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums.
Thanks for the suggestion. Having been involved with hard of hearing and BSL users for over 25 years I do appreciate the reason for your request. I have already asked the documentation team to make the scripts available, and potentially add titling, but was told that scripts do not exist for most of them. We currently do not have subtitling facilities but plan to improve our video facilities. I will point this thread out to them.
