  1. Is this a paid font? Can you check if the font validates in Font Book? Thanks.

     

    Yep. Validates just fine.

     

    Also, in an entirely unrelated issue, I opened Designer Beta and it offered to recover a file due to a crash ... yet there had been no crash, and I had previously closed the app without a document open. Sadly, I didn't opt to "recover" it, so I'm not sure how much this report is worth. I was in a bit of a hurry at the time.

  2. Hi titowait, can you let us know which font family?

     

    ITC Kabel Std. It comes with several faces: Book, Medium, Demi, Bold, and Ultra. In 10.11, Bold appears to be missing. What's actually happening is that Ultra is missing; selecting Ultra gives the Bold face, and the Ultra face is nowhere to be found. Clicking the "bold" button (instead of selecting it from the drop-down) makes it bold, as well, but under the incorrect Ultra heading.

  3. 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.

  4. One feature I really like in Pixelmator (and I think Photoshop) is that it has the option to automatically guess that you're laying out elements in equal distances from each other. This would be a really nice feature for Affinity Photo and Designer.

     

    Since I don't think I did a good job explaining it, I took a screenshot. (I was moving around the bottom ellipse; the cursor doesn't show up in the screenshot.) If that's still not sufficient, I can record a video.

  5. I use Pages at the moment, and it's great for the stuff I do with it. The only real problem is that it can't do facing pages – which is a real pain.

     

    I tried Word, and I found it quite slow and hard to navigate, especially when the books get really long. I also find that I can change a few words here and there, and the whole layout can get thrown off kilter.

     

    . . . and answering posts on a Saturday. Very impressive!

     

    If you haven't yet, I would check out Scrivener or Ulysses. Scrivener has more features, but Ulysses is nicer to use.

  6. Furthering the idea proposed by JDW, an interrogation mark should be provided directly in the Resample popup that, when clicked, makes appear an info box explaining these differences and —more importantly— proposes the best mode according to the app maker (Serif).

     

    I wish that it would automatically switch methods based on whether you're shrinking or enlarging an image. Barring that, I wish that anything other than Nearest Neighbor was the default.

  7. Note: I'm working in Pixel persona.

     

    So I know that AD has the button to make a brush pressure-sensitive (first image). However, I want to have pressure alter opacity and/or flow, not size. So I would think that I could change it via the "More" panel (second image), specifically by setting flow jitter to pressure and size to none. However, that doesn't seem to work—pressure only ever affects size.

     

    What am I doing wrong?

     

    EDIT: I figured it out, but I'm not seeing a way to delete the topic. In case anyone else has trouble, you need to set the flow jitter to 100% and NOT press the pressure button on the main toolbar.
