Colorwaves

I know this well and appreciate this quick way of making image adjustments. Exactly that, adjusting many images at the same time, often and quickly adding or subtracting some in the middle of the process depending on the results. I've used this often with groups of photographs, but also with thousands of scanned or photographed document pages where I wanted to achieve consistent visual properties: color, brightness, alignment, cropping, etc. And all this quickly applied over and over again to large image selections with near spontaneous and permanent feedback in the side thumbnail panel. Wonderful time saver! Only Affinity is not useless without this feature, just significantly less efficient 😉

This. It might be slightly annoying at times having to go through countless "select/deselect", but other times it will also help to understand how and why I got to where I was now. Agree! And there are also times when the undo action takes me back to a sometimes complicated object selection that I made before and would like to keep using. E.g. to apply other styles to it or to transform or move it in a new way. I find that time-saving Fair call though. The call for an alternative option is understandable. However, I would not want this option as a replacement. I like the current setting more than the one I had in Photoshop.

You are not alone in wanting a blend/morphing tool 😉

I also continue to use only the V1, which works well and stably on my computer. After some testing I think that the current V2 is immature and since my current projects don't allow me to play the beta tester, I didn't install V2 on my work computer. I bought the V2 as soon as it was released and even though it only introduced part of the features I was hoping for, I am grateful for these and other improvements (including the universal license) and look forward to more features in the coming updates. For three years, I've found V1 to be a reliable Adobe replacement that performs well enough to leave the top dog. This created a certain trust in Serif, which is why I reacted calmly to the current development status of the V2. Despite the problematic start, my overall impression is rather positive. I assume or rather hope that Serif will be able to fix the software soon. Then V2 would definitely be a step forward.

You are not alone with your request for blending / morphing. Check out the link below and join if you like it.

The clear need for a blend tool is reinforced by the fact that given the complexity of such special requirements, even the most exotic affinity internal workarounds can usually not bring any relevant/efficient relief (except maybe for simple constructs). This is not a trivial "just know how" situation.

Those interested may wish to continue supporting the blend tool in the linked topic. You are not alone!

This is probably the healthier choice, provided the beaming process went as expected 😉

I was expecting a movie about a girl vampire, one who was 12 but had been twelve a long time. 😃That's right, there's that one too. That's the scene I remembered from seeing the title.

Check the buttons Scotty and decide where you want to beam me! He yells... The type of lighting, color temperature, etc. unsettled Kirk. He doesn't feel fully integrated into any of the worlds, either inside or outside. Scotty not only beamed Kirk, but happened to also beam some typical attributes of the original location. The picture looks exactly as you describe, like a quick manipulation, so I'm not saying that with all seriousness, but if you enjoy manipulating such aspects, you could help Scotty allay Kirk's worries. Fortunately, Affinity is a properly equipped beam device 😉 (By the way, when I read the topic title, I was more expecting Negan behind the window pane.)

Those interested may wish to continue supporting the blend tool in the linked topic, as it is not in the archive and therefore also more explicitly related to V2.

+1 I mention it here too, as I don't know if the archives are still being given enough attention. The Blend Tool would be a powerful addition to Affinity Designer. Not only would it allow for a wide variety of textures and shapes that are difficult to construct by hand, it would also save us a tremendous amount of time in the process. In my work context, the morphing functionality is not only required frequently, but often to a considerable extent. As I write this, one such project is waiting for me in the background. There really shouldn't be a need to stress the importance of the tool. It's already a justifiably established standard in the creative environment.

Really nice illustrations! And I agree: the creative possibilities of the blend tool go far beyond the support of lazy contemporaries

+1 A blend-tool would be a great addition. Not only would it help create interesting structures faster, but its morphing ability would allow us to construct mediating shapes and curves that are just terribly time-consuming by hand. So I don't just want it, I need it! 😉

THANK YOU SERIF! Thank you for the helpful new features, for the aesthetically and meaningfully redesigned interface, and for the promising prospect of exciting updates due to the reprogrammed environment. COMMUNICATION I appreciate Ash's answer! Serif shows the ability to learn and act accordingly. We are listened to, we are informed openly and they try to accommodate us benevolently. There's no reason we shouldn't behave the same way. Important questions have been answered in the forum and revised in the FAQs. They are working on providing us with an additional installation method if required and in the forum they provided us with interim solutions quite quickly. An additional package for the upgraders will be provided, which is very nice given the already fair price. UPGRADE PRICE OVERREACTIONS I understand the rationale behind the expressed desire for price differentiation between V1 owners and new customers, especially if they bought V1 just a few months before. But the oversized drama of some users, who even carry their frustration so extensively beyond the borders of this forum into the www (as already seen), I find questionable in view of Serif's courteous reactions. Given the quality of the tools at such a human price point and without the obligation to subscribe, one might also choose to smile happily at the creative opportunities that are available to us over the long term. Our concerns have been answered and Serif is already working to accommodate us. Plunge wildly into the wonderful creative work, enjoy the new features and stop complaining! We are holding a great piece of software in our hands...
