Wow! Wow!! Wow!!! Congratulations Afffinity team. This release is a stunning. After watching the tuturial by Ash, it makes one really appreciate the effort that has gone to make this product. I would encourage everyone to take the time to watch the tutorial before posting questions here as Ash takes his time to go through some really important areas of the app and also answered some good questions. Matt P and team, well done . Affinity Publisher delivers on the ease of use, measurable performance and precision that we have come to expect from Serif's Affinity product suite. It's worth all the waiting. Do I dare to say that some of the feature we are seeing in AP 1.7 give a glimpse of what's coming to AD and AP 1.7

Same here. I have just voted for Affinity Designer. Well done Mark and team. You deserver to win

Apple is really taking its time to release the app into the store. I hope they are not being difficult and asking for further modification.

Wow. This is exciting. Much appreciated, Ben. I am looking forward to testing the 1.7 Beta. BTW, Are you able to share any information on innovations coming in Photo 1.7 as well??

@Pathfinder, you have no idea how valuable having direct access to a developers means. All I will say is that if you think the developers are not prioritising your request and you find the feature in some bloatware, by all means no one is stopping you from using the bloatware. In fact, do us the favour and go to the bloatware so the developers can have their peace of mind do innovate without being pested with these discouraging comments from you. If you love the so-called "Professional" or "Corporate" guys, then what brings you into this forum?? You should have no business here, IMHO. I think "Professionalism" should be reciprocated. If you demand professionalism from the developers as you put it, lead by example.

@MattP Thanks Matt for your hard work.

@MBd Have you tried Visual Studio Code - https://code.visualstudio.com. This editor has some strong compelling features including in-build debugging, source code management, task management and a healthy extension ecosystem if you don't mind a Microsoft product.

Further test indicates that this seems to only happen when the "Display" field in Preferences is set to "Metal". OpenGL seems to work fine.

When I open a raw file in the Develop Persona and select, "Show Grid", no grid is displayed. These are the steps to reproduce: Open any raw files in the Develop Persona. From the "View" menu, select "Show Grid"

Are the Affinity Photo team still on holidays after releasing the iPad version update?? Too much holiday is not good for you, AndyS . Please come back!!!

Hi Andy, We non-iPad users are feeling a bit left out as the IOS platform receives all the love in beta updates. Please show us some love too ;) When is 1.6 Beta 2 coming out. It's been more than a month since the last beta release. PS: I know you guys are very busy and doing a fantastic job. Thanks for all of you hard work. Kind Regards, nana

Any ideas when 1.6 Beta2 is coming out?? ;)

Hi MattP, Please stop teasing us with your Affinity Designer for iPad and release Designer 1.6 Beta 2 ;) On another note, congratulations again. You guys have done it again. Nana

MBd, with all due respect, the app was "born" just today. Your comments are like critiquing a day old baby. Knowing what Serif is capable of, I have no doubt that they will add improvements and remedies to the app. I think we just need to celebrate with them today and leave the critiquing to a later date as these guys have worked their heads off to pull off the iPad version. I hope you understand my point. Nana
