Remember, that you paid 54€ once for this software (or even less during a sale).
I bought Affinity Photo in 2017, and 2 lears later still get free updates with a lot of new features, performance improvements, new camera support... With Adobe I'd already paid more than 240€ and not even own the software. Please remember this, before saying that "we don't have xy yet" or "development is slow".

Because Macs are like consoles. Theres much less configurations to worry about. You have only handful of cards to test. Windows is whole another animal with the variety of hardware it offers. I am building my PCs myself - I can put there as much or as little as I desire and Affinity has to think about all possibilities to make it work.
I dont know where is the thread but we were already discussing it and somebody from Affinity mentioned that they are thinking about it, started to plan and work on it but cant give estimate time as to when it comes, precisely due to complexity of the subject.

I also have this desire to have a new version ASAP - specially when I know its packed with some good, new features - just like 1.7 seems to be. But lets keep in mind one really important thing - something that I cant stretch enough. The outstanding level of integration between Affinity software. You can open file from Designer inside of Photo and see no difference - vectors are still vectors, all looks practically the same. I havent used Adobe software for over 2 years now but I remember opening AI file inside of PS was very limited and lot of objects was rasterized loosing ability to be edited and scaled properly. Knowing Adobe it didnt changed. In my opinion Affinity really shines when it comes to integration.
Now, we are getting whole new software to the Affinity family and I am willing to bet devs are working on similar level of integrity. Can you imagine the complexity of that task? Not only we have lots of new tools in each of the existing programs, the whole new software but also integration between them. It surely needs lot of work, lot of time to be done properly.
Properly... Thats another thing.
Affinity is fighting for a position on the market and the fight is (mostly) against massive corporation named Adobe. Affinity just cant afford half-assing their product for the big day of introducing new software to the family. Rushing would be silly and would surely backfire. Publisher might convince many people to jump ship.

In the meantime Adobe is working hard to help Affinity by threatening owners of old licenses with possible lawsuits if they do not join "The Almighty Cloud". Unbelievable. You bought the license, but they just want to force people into monthly pay no matter what.
That comes shortly after news that they are "testing" new price for Photography Plan - which is basically "lets double the price, we were too generous. Lets squeeze that $10 more MONTHLY". The geniuses of marketing.
So while we are watching Adobe shooting their feet repeatedly we need to be patient. Devs need to make it right. I have no doubt that Affinity may become new "industry standard". In fact I already planned on purchasing Publisher solely to support company. I dont really need it all that much. Maybe occasionally for tables. And if I need to wait bit more to get great 1.7 - so be it. Working on current versions just fine for now.

As @Sean P mentioned, please read my post in another thread about BSoD, but the general advice is, make sure (Windows and) your device drivers are up to date.

Yippeeeee. I'm now running 1.7.293! I had trouble uninstalling the first beta version. It got stuck somehow, so, when in doubt, reboot! I've rebooted again & it seems to have got rid of the 'mess' & now I've seamlessly installed the current one.
Thanks :-)
Julie.

The file open / save dialogs are provided by Windows, there's nothing we can do about it unfortunately (you may wish to contact Microsoft about this).

STOP.....
I found the mistake. It´s not a Bug. I looked into the settings --> performance and as "Renderer" was WARP selecetd. I changed it to the Default Settings and now it´s ok.
But i don´t know why the settings were on WARP. I´ve never changed them....

I'm thinking that an option to use radians or degrees might be useful.  Will see when we can do something about that.
 
I'm happy to default it to degrees for now though.

Thanks @Potzo. I've taken a look, and we've already fixed this particular issue (it will be available in the next beta release).

There are 2 issues here.
1) When we save a loaded JPEG, we don't save it at it's original compression level, this is a bug we can address.
2) The size of afphoto files can become large. There is no bug here, afphoto files are designed for fast load, fast save, and fast editing. It is not designed to be a size efficient storage format.

Andy...
I know this is more a cosmetic change than a functional one, but thank you (!) for adding "Focal Length" to the EXIF Summary. It was the one piece of data I thought was missing, and it's nice to have it so readily available. I continue to enjoy this application so much!

The same file opened in PS and AP.
1. Layer with original image
2. Curve
3. Levels
4. Duplicate black mask layer
5. Vector rectangle shape (with visibility disabled)



I think this is a good result.

Auto-update isn't immediately enabled (we use a staggered release just in case forum users detect a critical bug that would mean we need to pull the beta).
