In FreeHand we had all this and it was great :-) FH_SELECT_FIND.pdf

for i in range(21): call create_reply(i) ;)

Can't do it. We still don't have scripting ;)

<dream_mode=True> I hope this version is taking so long because scripting is being added :) <dream_mode=False>

It is standard in InDesign, but it was simpler to use in FreeHand. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=866U1YKSpwo&t=16s

Here is a video I created to show some of the blending capabilities, in FreeHand. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3Rh8OcI9zU&t=10s

Here is another one. Mainly showing Xtras :-) https://youtu.be/Xw6LQRvDQgo

Here is a movie showing Strokes and Fills: https://youtu.be/nUitzFm55QU And here is a movie showing arrowheads and a few nice tools. https://youtu.be/mEacnejOcbE

Affinity is the best alternative that I have found to Illustrator. And I can assure everyone that I have been looking out for alternatives ever since Adobe killed Freehand. I started out, back in 1988 with Illustrator 1.0 (and, soon after, Illustrator 889. But then I met Freehand 1.0 NEVER LOOKED BACK!!! Freehand was just amazing! I will go on making these movies showing Freehand stuff. :)

There are LOTS of stuff that FreeHand did so nicely and that I miss so much. I will make a few more videos showing those nice features. :)

The Freehand blend tool: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3Rh8OcI9zU&feature=youtu.be :)

It is one of the tools that I miss the most and that I asked for while Affinity was still in the beta stage.

I understand all that, really. But shouldn't we have a way to, at least, preview an 8 bit image that has a Linear profile, using the Soft Proof adjustment layer? Yes, it should have been saved in 32 bit in the first place. But since it is possible (although not advisable nor correct) to save an 8 bit image with a Linear profile, Affinity Photo should be able to provide a way to visualize the color corrected image.

Yes, I could get it to show nicely in 32 bits in Affinity Photo. However, it shows correctly in Photoshop, in 8 bit. And this is an 8 bit image. So, how can I keep it in 8 bits and show correctly in Affinity Photo?

Attached is the .psd image with the Linear profile. And the color it should show, in Affinity Photo is the following: 3D_Fish_tankLinear.psd.zip

Ok, I found out how to create an .icc file out of Photoshop. But I still can't make it look in Affinity Photo like it shows in Photoshop.

The problem is that I created the profile in Photoshop and that is a .csf file. I would like to have a .icc file that would simply changed the display color of the image from a gamma of 2.2 to a gamma of 1.0 And I can't seem to find an .icc file that does that.

Well, I tried all the profiles in the Soft Proof adjustment and none made the image look nice. I just need a profile that corrects the gamma to 2.2. Why is this so hard?

Setting the 32-bit Preview to a gamma of 2.2 does show the image as expected. But, how can I set it to an 8 bit image with, lets say, the sRGB profile and keep it looking as it should? Also, I already created a Linear profile inside Photoshop, following the instructions provided in the site that v_kyr posted. How can I add it to Affinity Photo? Will it work?

I create my 3D renderings in Cinema 4D and I usually work in Linear Space. So, when I open the resulting image in Affinity Photo, I get this: I can't seem to convert it to an RGB profile and get the correct color. The same image, opened in Photoshop appears line this: And this is what I expect. I can easily convert it to another profile in Photoshop and, once that is done, I can open it in Affinity Photo and get the expected color. Is there a way to work in Linear Space in Affinily Photo? If not, will there be, in the future?

Where is that AD 1.6 announcement?

My vote is for python.

Well, nowadays I code mainly in python and C++. I code scripts and plugins for Cinema 4D. I have a choice of using COFFEE (almost exactly the same as javascript), python and C++. I used to code in COFFEE/javascript but since I had an option to use python, I almost completely ditched COFFEE/javascript because python is so, so much better. And I only use C++ when I need the extra speed and to access data structures and libraries that are still not yet available to python. So, python would be the best option. It is multi-platform and so powerful. Oh, by the way, I'm not a programmer. I'm just a graphic designer that is also a tremendous geek ;)

However, if it was possible to import .cdr files, a lot of people would be happy :) Not my case, as I don't even like CorelDraw. But a lot of people do.
