[Improved Export to Photoshop]

Hello,

 

as much as I would like to switch to Affinity series, I need to exchange files with colleagues using Photoshop.

The export has really improved (in particular the "Final Cut Pro" set-up) but Text layers are still exported as a pixel layers and not as vectorial layers (the import of psd files respect vectorial text). Thus, the text is not anymore editable which is a strong limit.

 

Any plan to improve this is next version ?

 

thanks,

Franck

[Arrowheads please. . .]

I agree. This is a much needed function.

 

Waiting for the implementation of this basic function, I followed this methods and it works very well. Quite indirect but efficient.

[Croping the whole Document]

I think the "whole document" crop tool is a must.

Since it exist in the "File - Document Set up" it is somehow a matter of adding a GUI to this function.

 

thanks in advace,

 

keep up the good work,

[Modify levels in independent channels]

Yes. I just tried and that would do. Thanks. It may even be a better solution as I see the 3 settings at the same time. The only thing is to make sure to stay linear and to start at 0 and finish at 255. But this is easy to control.

 

I am not sure I understand why the pixel intensity distribution histogram is different between Photoshop and Affinity Designer (see attached screen shot. Same picture analyzed).

Is it because you are considering 16 bits levels ? is it possible to show as 8 bits (it is an 8-bit image that I am processing).

These histograms are indeed useful to quickly detect min and max intensity of an image

 

thanks for your help and for this already impressive software,

[Modify levels in independent channels]

It would be great. I am a scientist, treating biological images and preparing figures for publication and I am looking for replacement software for Illustrator and Photoshop as I do not want (and I cannot) rent software and take the risk not to be able to open my files if I do not get a grant.

If Affinity Designer keep progressing, it looks like ot may be the best choice for my field. But we need to be able to treat the channels. (the other tool I'll be missing is the possibility to open the frames of a quicktime movie and treat them but I think it is beyond the goal of Affinity Designer).

[Copy adjustment layers parameters]

Thanks. It is already very useful.

It could be more intuitive though (may be with a contextual menu or at least that the "Copy" entry in the menu indicates "Copy Adjustment Layer")

[Modify levels in independent channels]

I am more a user of Photoshop, so this is the interface that PS is providing to tune the channels of a RGB picture (see attached screenshot - sorry french interface...)

[Copy adjustment layers parameters]

Hi,

 

it would be great to be able to copy modification parameters of an adjustment layer (like levels or exposure values) and apply them to another layer.

 

thanks,

[Modify levels in independent channels]

Hi,

 

is is plan to add the possibility to modify levels not only for all the channels (RGB image) but also treating each channel independently (ala Photoshop) ?

 

 

thanks,

[Line tool]

Thanks for the answer. I know one can design an arrow by himself but when you have a lot of them to draw...

 

Happy to see that it is on the road map.

 

thanks for the good work.,

And is there anyway to add an arrow to one end ?

 

thanks.
