My first post on this forum lol :)) I even forgot the password to that account

Thank you all very much for trying. :))

Inspired by guys in this thread, i’m very open to helping translate the app into serbian/croatian/bosnian—if it happens any day lol

I laughed so hard at this thread

I had many other files on my external drive… should i not work on them directly from affinity photo but move them to my desktop from the drive?

Imagine if they f***ed up their new update so bad like the 1.8.4… It’s literally unusable in my workflow now and I hate my PC!

I guess this is why Adobe takes 2 years to bring a single new tool to Photoshop on iPad lol…

I just love how the yellow fades into orange and goes to deep red and then black! Really cool

Cool

I absolutely LOVE! the way you draw people — it’s so original! Really made me smile, congrats on the great work :)!

The highlights look to roundish for me — kinda makes it seem like the guitars are made out of jellow. 🎸 Good work.

I guess it could sound that way — but I honestly do think your style is unique. Reminded me of a painting my mom had in her house. I really, really want you to remember something — style, “soul” and character is the single MOST important thing when doing art. Everything else is secondary. No amount of technical know-how will be able to cover up for a picture that lacks soul. And I didn’t comment on the contents of your post above. No, not at all. I didn’t comment about image quality, or drawing quality — there is much to say, but I commented on your style — the single most important thing. The image you posted above from the Isometric app is technically superior, and more “pleasing” (proportionally speaking) but it seriously lacks any personality, soul or character — something that was somewhat expressed in the original image you posted here. I truly want you to remember that technical know-how is easily acquired. Loosing track of why you fell in love with Art and loosing your inner focus and instinct, being obsessed with tools and techniques and doing generic work is the quickest way to kill your true “artist” inside. After going to photography school, and learning all those techniques and “rules you mustn’t break” I thought I was great at photography. Then I looked back and reflected on my work from the past — and it was all blurry, it didn’t follow the rule of thirds (the overly used cliche rule everyone uses), and it wasn’t “technically perfect”. But I found out that they were so much better than my images after I’ve gone to school. I always questioned that, why? could this be… And I came to the realization that no amount of rules and technical perfection can fix a soulless image — and the quickest way to loose your character, soul and honesty in your work is for yourself to stop being honest — to be scared of breaking rules and judgment, and to think that your work must be similar to the work of the “masters” to be good art. So many “professional” photographers have critiqued this image that its “horrible that the sky is blown out, bird is at the edge of the scene, colors aren’t saturated enough” yet I love this image. You can feel the liveliness and the soul of the birds. Doing a technically perfect image would only ruin that character. That would be my only peace of feedback for you. Never stop looking, and never blend in :)! If your instinct and drive tells you to do something, do it! You may not be able to articulate why you have that feeling, but it is the right, honest feeling and instinct you need to create good, your work. You will get the hang of affinity or all these other apps — but please, don’t be a generic geometric designer. Your drawings have much to offer :).

Again, the same thing happened to me… but just one correction from my post — the last time I edited and accessed the file wasn’t actually on a Windows device, it was on an iPad — but the iPad never accesses the file system, it just imports the document in. And this issue still occurred?

I dont know what you guys changed, this behavior was happening on the beta as well. The app is unusable on my iPad.

The stability of Affinity Photo has been completely ruined after the last update. Its literally unusable now. I have 60% storage free and no apps open in the background. A 20MB raw file crashes the app? FullSizeRender.mov

Guys I need help. Affinity Photo on my Windows PC was opening a file, and I edited it completely fine — then I went and saved it. The program seemingly saved and closed the document and everything was fine. I transferred the file on an external drive and left it there for a couple of months. The photo was a part of hundred other documents I was collecting to use on a huge composite for a school final. Now when I attempt to open a file on my PC or iPad, it shows me an error that the Application can’t open the file because it’s not “valid”. https://drive.google.com/file/d/19gyGMDY5A7Fz1eWU7PC3hLcXIu4xXzqo/view?usp=sharing

Looks really unique — what are you working on? Desktop or iPad? 😀

Thanks!! 😀

sorry if i wasnt clear this is the problem im running into and fix spell checking IMG_1843.MP4

I have set up Column Guides on my document — so I can snap text to the edges of my document. But I do not wish to have them visible all the time. Super simple — I hide the Column Guides (but they are stil set in place), and I go to Snapping>Only Snap to Visible Layers and I turn that setting off. On desktop, this works well. Column guides are not visible, but elements are still snapping accordingly to the hidden guides. On Affinity Designer on iPad, when “Only Snap to Visible Layers” is turned off, elements don’t snap to the column guides. In fact, regardless of if the column guides are hidden or visible at the moment, this switch turns all column snapping off. Please fix this behavior.

I think this needs to be SERIOUSLY ironed out if you guys ever plan to take Publisher to the iPad !

The only upside to all this is that Affinity on iPad made me realize that I always copy pasted text from online webpages, and i didnt take time to compose it more carefully in something like Pages or Word. So technically, it made my text better. Maybe that’s the design intention.
