    Patrick Connor reacted to MikeW in Standard values for line / paragraph spacing?   
    An application is defining what Default leading means. Or, rather, what default means in relation to the application's type engine. Obviously, this is different than physical type for which there wasn't a physical means of reducing leading beyond what the cutters used.
    Applications can either use the font's leading as-designed, or not, as the programmer's desire. So much different than days of old where one simply had to accept how loose their sorts fit together or find new sorts that could fit closer together when assembled into lines of type, i.e., line spacing / leading as a default--one could always add the physical leading (strips of lead of different thickness) to make lines of type further apart. Computers make this so much faster and easier.
    A goal of a font designer, at least ones I know, desire for their typeface to look good to them on-screen, but also on the printed page. However, like with most things, there are technical issues, or technical limitations, for which the font designer has to work within.
    I'm pretty certain Hermann Zapf wouldn't like the default Affinity Publisher uses for you Zapfino sample. It should be more open. At least that's how he designed it. That said, in practice I suspect he would opt to set the font tighter than the in-built leading, shown here:

    That in-built as-designed spacing for the top and bottom font metrics is there to avoid clashes between descenders and ascenders. An example:

    As you can see, the descending 'g' and ascending 'f' characters would clash if there was much less default leading. Which, if done on purpose for effect, is fine.
    Application designers simply ought to use font metrics to lay down the type. But, like I said before, there ought to be a preference to set when the font designer messes up. In the good bad old days, I have seen fonts that partially overlaid each successive line because the designer forgot to put proper values in.
    BTW, that part of the letter sort in your image is called the Shoulder.

    I believe that when choosing priorities, you forget one important detail. I realized this when preparing the newspaper in beta version 2.3.
    You can draw a parallel between an orchestra and a program.
    If each instrument in the orchestra plays its part flawlessly, but all together they fake it, then the orchestra is impossible to listen to.
    If all the instruments in a program work individually, but not together, then the program is generally defective and inoperable.
    Working on a newspaper is a creative process that combines different tools. The process itself should be enjoyable.
    If you read my review, you will see how many small and important things were missed.

    I believe Serif, Patrick in particular, has one of the best track records regarding communication and customer engagement. 
    I don't write the above as a fanboy. There are several reasons why I generally don't use Affinity applications for my daily work. Patrick, Serif, knows those reasons. Frankly, I don't know why they tolerate my presence sometimes 😉

    Thanks. 22 years of communicating with Serif customers gives you sloping shoulders and most of it does not hit that hard. I/we welcome critique and some people are rightly cross about their experience of the software, and entitled to express it.
    As Head of Testing I understand the balance we try to walk between making changes/improvements user want/need and fixing the issues that exist. Some need their issue addressed, some need the missing thing adding, both are true and all are welcome here to express their opinions (preferably just the once and not over and over in multiple threads).
    2.3 may be quite a quick beta cycle, so if you need a fix to be in a release build, I would say our expectation is for 2.3 to be released this year, though as always that is testing dependent.

    Patrick Connor got a reaction from Archangel in Variable fonts support   
    Thought is being given into the complications of fully supporting these fonts, particularly exporting to formats like PDF and SVG, which do not support variable fonts natively and therefore need to convert them to traditional fonts at export. Not insurmountable but not straight forward.

    Patrick Connor reacted to James Ritson in Photo 2.2 Broken/Bug OCIO profile and exr file   
    @Demys this may not address all the problems you're having, but there's an issue with the Blender configuration when combined with Affinity Photo at the moment because the mode we use with OCIO v2 (called Legacy mode) combines ops into a single low-precision LUT. Many of Blender's colour spaces, including AgX and Filmic, use log2 allocation transforms which require a lot of precision—so rolling these into a LUT is pretty catastrophic. This likely accounts for the clipped and almost "diffuse" highlight detail you are seeing.
    I adapted the configuration to work with Photo and posted a link to it in the comments of the OpenColorIO video tutorial available here: 
     
     
    Here's a link to the configuration: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/geo9h5wklq23fjge4habp/JR-Blender-4.0-OCIO-adapted-for-Affinity-Photo-2.2.zip?rlkey=dg9dxababy633erxgyin89efu&dl=0
    You're welcome to download and try it with both Windows and iPad versions to see if it solves your problems—do let me know!

    and I should think the 2.3 beta would start a few weeks after 2.2 release has settled. So once 2.3 beta is available you can try this fix for yourself, if you don't mind installing the parallel 2.3 beta alongside to your 2.2 release

    Patrick Connor reacted to Frozen Death Knight in Blend tool in Designer   
    To me this is the list of things I think Designer needs to be roughly on par with Illustrator functionality wise:
    - Raster-to-vector conversion.
    - Pure vector brushes/erasers.
    - A blend tool.
    - Vector pattern tools/fills.
    - Freeform vector gradients.
    - Some curve modifier tools that affect the shape of curves; i.e. randomise, noise, smudge, smooth, sharpen, and additional node merging options like merge by distance and merge to last/first selected. 
    As for making Designer just straight up better than Illustrator in practically every way, then add animation support that works across Designer and Photo. Designer would practically become a more streamlined and well implemented version of Adobe Flash/Animate. That's more wishful thinking, but I do believe Affinity could be a great tool for raster and vector animation if it had a solid animation timeline (as long as it doesn't work like Photoshop's timeline that is :P).
    I kind of doubt that Serif are holding out on features just for 2.5.

    Hi @mogsie,
    If you could confirm if the issue you're experiencing can be replicated in the latest release (2.2.1) or if it is the same issue described in the thread Loukash has linked above which appears to be 2.3 beta specific that would be great. 🙂

    I use it for editing my photography too. It's actually pretty decent. I started with trying to recreate whatever I made in Photoshop in Affinity Photo and it took some trial and error but eventually I got it. 

    All of these are edited in Affinity Photo:

    Hi Bruce and welcome to the forums. Version 2.2.1 is the latest version of Affinity Photo and is not a scam. Please see the announcement from Serif below.
    That email from "Google" about you having a virus might be a scam so don't click any links in it. If you search the web you'll find news reports from this year about a scam like that.
    Good luck.

    A dedicated RAW developer / DAM tool / organizer such as Capture One, DxO Optics Pro, or On1 Photo RAW is a good place to start when you are working with your photos.  For culling, initial RAW development, organization and basic image enhancements, they will generally provide a much better workflow than what is possible using a single-image-editor such as Affinity Photo / PhotoShop.
    However, you will eventually run into a few images here and there which will require more careful or direct editing than is realistically feasible in those programs.  Then you would use the developer/DAM to do the basic enhancements it does well, and open the resulting image in an actual editor such as Affinity Photo to take care of the finer detail work that programs of this nature excel at.
    In spite of some apparent overlap, they are complimentary tools - neither is a particularly suitable replacement for the other.

    There are two issues here.
    First, this is a BMP file and not a TIFF and the person who provided it added the wrong file extension. The header bits identify it as BMP.
    Second, once renamed it will open as blank when opened in Affinity 2 but it will open correctly in Affinity 1. This is a known bug.

    Hi @julwest78,
    I've taken a look at your file. There is a proxy entity in it, which designer warns you about when it opens the file, but I don't think they are the cause of your problems.

    If you choose "Single Page" on import and select the only paperspace layout available (called "Presentation1") you get a blank document. This is correct behaviour and AutoCAD does the same thing:

    If you choose "Model" on import, Designer imports the document but has had to zoom out by such a huge amount, you can't see anything. That's because Designer thinks some of the entities in the model are a huge distance from the rest of them and to display all of them, it zooms out. If you do a Select All (Cmd+A or Ctrl+A), you will see a bounding box around all of the entities and that box is massive. If you zoom in on the corner of the box that's on the spread and enable Hairline View mode (View -> View Mode -> Hairline), you will see your entities appear:

    You could select just these entities and paste them into a new document, then scale / rotate them as a work around.  I will see if there's a legitimate reason why Designer thinks there are these huge entities in your document (like in Layer ERLBT00L_ElectriciteBT).
    Regards,
    Tim
