EDIT: Ignore, please. I just discovered "expand stroke".

I was going to report the same thing. This behavior is different from any other application I can think of. (As a side note, I really wish Affinity would change the window's edited state if the current document has been edited. I'm so used to looking to the close button for that black dot that I never even think to look for the [M] in the tab bar. And if Affinity is fullscreen, you don't even get the [Modified] tag if there's only one document open.)

Probably. I don't actually know what stacks is, but I saw "alignment" and got excited.

Sorry to dredge up an old post (of my own!), but I figured it would be better than making a new one. I noticed that the 1.4 updates that just came out today have a line about "Live Stacks - Auto-aligned layers for creating composites". That wouldn't, by any chance, be what I'm looking for, would it? I'm guessing not, but I can dream ...

Just wanted to bump this to say that this bug still exists in the latest 10.11 DP and Affinity 1.3.5.

In Photoshop, you can make a selection, hit V, then align the current layer based on that selection. Is there any way to do this in Affinity Photo? I found the Arrange button in the toolbar, but that only aligns based on the entire canvas, even with "selection bounds" selected. I'm dearly hoping that I'm just missing something...

So long as you're not exporting at a lower resolution, PNG should be fine. I do recall some people reporting a bug with PNG export. I'm not sure if that has been resolved, or if it's even the issue you're having. For science, you might try exporting to a different format at the same resolution.

I don't know about the Huion, but I know that many people love tablets using UC Logics digitizers. I'd be really tempted by the Monoprice tablet if the pen had an eraser. (The Huion page on Amazon doesn't mention UC Logics, but the pen looks similar. Could be the same thing.) A Cintiq alternative to look at is the Yiynova. As for the topic at hand, note that neither Affinity app yet works with rotation. Panning and zooming are both much smoother than Photoshop, so I hope this is added soon.

Yosemite requires 64-bit processors. I know you can sometimes get OS X running on unofficially supported hardware, but I'd be really surprised if you could get it running on a 32-bit system.

While the name is probably set, I too like Affinity Press.

Most likely, you are using Nearest Neighbor (default) resizing. Try Lanczos non-separated (really, anything will be better than Nearest Neighbor, unless you're doing pixel art ...).

+1

I agree that the GIMP has a poor UI. There used to be a fork that gave it a Photoshop-like UI, but I don't know if that's still a thing.

Great!

The current beta (of Affinity, not 10.11) fixes the issue! Just released today.
