Hi,
How can I save to iCloud and rename de editions on iPad with V2?
Thanks
Same question, but to add. How did Affinity manage to make simple saving and renaming operations so utterly unintuitive? Please take a hard look at this Affinity. This software is a chore to use because you've made this awkward for no good reason.
-
I have the exact same issue.
I contacted them via twitter, no response. I contacted Apple, they just told me to talk to Affinity. I found a phone number on their site, but when you call, it takes you through their menu, then when you select to speak to a support department, it just tells you they're closed and hangs up on you
Have to say, this is pretty shoddy behaviour. So I'm £90 down and don't have anything to show for it. Software isn't activated, doesn't work and now I can't work until this is resolved. Thanks a ****** bunch! 🤬

I know this is a n old thread, but is there any news regarding an automatic hot pixel filter?
Failling that, can anybody recommend a processing app that filters without having to go back to Lightroom?
Ugh.

Thanks guys. :) I confess I forgot to edit the fx on the lume pip. It wouldn't be shadowed like that. lol
-
Thanks, Matt! :D

Thanks, MEB! :D

Hey guys.
I'm loving Affinity Designer and Photo and switched over as my Adobe subscription ran out around Affinity's release day.
I am participating in the betas and am really impressed with the team's work and engagement with users.
I am currently working on a watch project in WatchUSeek's F71 (Affordables) forum and this is the result. An homage to the vintage and modern Seamasters and James Bond, we are partnering with Lew and Huey watch co to have this made into a real watch! This has been my first full project rendered completely in Affinity apps and am now not pining for AI, or PS in any way. lol :D

Synaptyx : about slow export, the best solution is to pixelate your draw before exporting. I often have a lot of diamonds or structures with effects. AD is unable to export them before a long time. After pixelating (it takes few seconds), export is very fast as usual.
Personal question : Are you drawing dials for horology ?
Thank you for the tip! That's helped a lot for raster exports! :D
RE Personal Question: Yes, I am. :)

PDF/EPS/SVG export still insanely slow.
At least the blue progress bar is back. lol
-
Which version of OS X are you using?
El Capitan.
-
GUI problem: if the program is open for a while, dropdown menu elements disappear behind their panels and you can't click them! Have to save, quit and restart the app.

Hello,
Still having huge difficulty with exports. Every export is slow. PDF/SVG/EPS files take 5-15 minutes to export and are generally faulty in some way. Raster format exports are okay, but taking significantly longer than expected.
Blue progress bar doesn't show.
Sent files to support.
-
Is it just me, or is it really slow to export JPG, PNG, etc, now? Also crashes when I try to export PDF/EPS/SVG or at least takes significantly long that it seems to have crashed.
-
Thanks for prompting me to use the beta, Meb! Love that I can adjust, hide and show the rotation centre as needed, now! :) And no more object add problems.
-
Okay, I have figured out that it's to do with the parent layer's rotation.
*FACEPALM*
-
Can someone explain to me why, when I select a group of perfectly aligned objects, the selection box decides to be rotated at 2.4º, even though all the selected objects inside are at 0º!?
Help, this is driving me insane! I have tried resetting the selection box. This works, but I have to do it every time, the setting does not stick. I have tried to reset defaults, but that did nothing for this problem.
-
The thing is, when I'm designing, I don't want to have to be setting this attribute on every object I draw, I mean that's just nuts! I want to get on with the job of designing and drawing and export to hard edged pixels when I need to. The level of detail anti-aliasing control is wonderful for people who are designing pixel-based designs from the get go. My purpose is to create clean edged designs with strict colour counts for screen-printing with the caveat, that the designs may be printed with anti-aliasing as well depending on the product and method of printing required. Thanks for reading and taking on board all my comments and niggles. It may not sound like it, but I love Affinity and am looking forward to updates and upgrades! :)

As you can see, it's not working on this stroked object - the only way for it to work is to select Draw behind Fill on the stroke panel and that's not always appropriate for the object and design.
-
Sorry if I'm not explaining myself properly. Here are some screengrabs. This one is inside stroked text. The red pixels outside should not be showing.
-
Hi Meb, thanks! That works... Kind of/sort of. It doesn't apply to objects in groups. And it doesn't work on stroked objects, randomly. While the coverage map is a great feature, it seems to need a bit of work and I feel there needs to be a simple global export with no anti-aliasing option.
*The stroke thing: I mean that on a stroked object with the stroke aligned to the inside the colour of the stroked object peeks out behind the stroke when the anti-aliasing is turned off, but that could be that I don't know what I'm doing with the curve - lol
*Noticed that it doesn't apply to masks either. You have to do all these things separately as individual objects.
-
And that also means that with every existing .ai file I have I can't export any of them from AD without anti-aliasing, or going through every layer, group and object. That's just not doable. :(
-
Thanks Ethernaut, I hope it's fixed soon. I really need this functionality. I'm not sure what else to do at the moment, I wasn't expecting to have to set this for every object when in PS/AI all I did was import an .ai file to PS with Anti-aliasing unchecked.
-
Sorry to post in multiple threads, but I really need to apply this feature to a whole design for export. The design is for print and it can't have anti-aliasing in it at the point it's exported to PNG. There are hundreds of layers groups and objects. In AI and PS all I used to do was import the design AI file into PS and uncheck the anti-aliasing option. I can't find a way to replicate that behaviour in Affinity Photo or Designer.

I tried this and it worked, thank you Senjaz. No thanks to Affinity/Apple for making a complete dog's breakfast of this process.
