Hi @GabrielD welcome to the forums, Could you possibly provide me with the original .PSD file you have used in your example images so I can investigate further? I've provided a private dropbox link below if you wish to upload it there. https://www.dropbox.com/request/dblSlnWmShWNGuI4Chog Many thanks in advance!

Hi @Jw3 welcome to the forums, Using Plugins requires a pixel layer to be selected and effects/adjustments from plugins are applied destructively to the layer, this is the same in both V1 and V2.

I'm not aware of anything that specifically addresses file corruptions that happen in V1 as they can greatly vary, though broken/corrupt files are continually logged with the developers, these are also used to investigate what originally caused the corruption. I can't confirm exactly what will be addressed in future updates, these updates to V1 would likely address any critical functionality broken as mentioned in the news-post (Such as the font crash issue on Windows).

Hi @korean welcome to the forums, This issue is currently logged with the developers for resolution, i've added the details of your report.

Hi @MxHeppa, Are you referring to the Vector Mesh warp demonstrated in your linked video? If so, this can be used on your existing Vector Group/Curves layer via the Layers Panel and selecting the 'Warp' button to the right of FX, i've linked the video tutorial along with the help guide below for more information. https://affinity.help/designer2/English.lproj/pages/ObjectControl/warp.html In Photo V1/V2 there is a mesh warp tool used for pixel layers, help guide is linked below. https://affinity.help/photo2/English.lproj/pages/Filters/filter_meshWarp.html

Hi @laszlokorte, This app hang/crash issue is currently logged with the developers for resolution, i've added the details of your report(s).

Hi @Yonder, Could you advise which Font(s) you've encountered this issue with Contour and Expand Stroke on V2? I'll then confirm I can replicate this and get it logged with the developers. Many thanks 🙂

Hi @thomaso, It doesn't look like this file is recoverable by any of the normal means or in V2 but appears intact when opened in a hex editor, so i've gone ahead and logged it with the developers for further investigation and to see if the file can be recovered.

Hi @Digital Ken, I've not been able to replicate this issue on Monterey or Ventura with the freehand selection tool, the selection is drawing on my canvas immediately after without the need to Zoom In/Out. To rule out this being Hardware Acceleration related, could you disable this under Preferences > Performance, restart your app and try this again? Additionally, could you provide a screenshot of your 'About this mac' so I can see your specs?

Hi @cgidesign, As per my reply in the previous thread, I've now added the details of your report to the issue.

No problem, I'll include another report of the issue based on your thread.

This problem is also logged against V2 and is still with the developers, I've added your report for consideration however I can't provide an ETA on when a fix version will be available.

Looks like this problem has been addressed in V2 as i'm able to Copy > Paste style between two different Artistic text frames by highlighting the text without the need to select the text object. I'm also not seeing any issues with text settings/styling in Designer V2 as the settings are being preserved when switching tools and creating additional Art/Text frames.

Hi @Luddite, If you wish to maintain consistency across multiple text frames/artistic text one way to do this is via Text styles. In Designer you can create a Character/Paragraph style, define the font, colour, positioning etc. from within the text style window and then assign it to your artistic text via the context toolbar/Text styles panel. You can then assign any newly created artistic text frames to this same style and update them dynamically from the text style menu. To take it a step further, you can default the artistic text tool to use your pre-defined style (or even just standard context toolbar settings) by selecting the text layer and going to Edit > Defaults > Synchronise From Selection.

Hi @Tuc Tuc0, I'm not seeing this behaviour after doing a clean install of the latest hotfix driver (526.61) on W10 or on a separate machine that's on W11, My 0 saturation objects are correctly appearing without said yellow tint. If you're certain this issue only happened since updating the driver and it's not the above post from Carl, it may be worth rolling back to the previous current release driver and ensuring that you're doing a clean install.

Die Option zum Erstellen Ihrer eigenen Voreinstellung ist ausgegraut, wenn Sie versuchen, sie mit einer vorhandenen Voreinstellung zu erstellen, die derzeit ausgewählt ist, und keine Einstellungen ändern. Daher sollte das Befolgen des obigen Beitrags funktionieren.

Willkommen in den Foren @luna07 Der Grund, warum das Feld Voreinstellung deaktiviert ist, wenn Sie Anschnitt einschließen aktivieren, ist, dass Sie die Einstellungen der ursprünglichen Standardvoreinstellung geändert haben, die anderen Optionen, die ausgewählt waren, als die Voreinstellung ursprünglich ausgewählt wurde, sind immer noch aktiviert. Wenn Sie möchten, können Sie Ihre eigene benutzerdefinierte Voreinstellung erstellen, indem Sie die Schaltfläche „Voreinstellungen verwalten“ unten auf „Mehr“ verwenden, einschließlich Anschnitt. ------------------------ The reason the Preset box clears when you tick 'Include Bleed Area' is because you have deviated from the settings of the original default preset, the other options that were selected when you originally chose the preset will still be enabled, however. You can create your own Custom Preset via the 'Manage Presets' button at the bottom of 'More' if you wish with the bleed included.

Hi @lekcaj welcome to the forums, As mentioned in the below thread, Pencil hover is not yet supported in the apps, so this will result in some unexpected behaviour, I've now added the details of your report to the issue logged with the developers. 🙂

These Pencil Hover issues have now been logged with the developers for resolution. 🙂

The issue with the artistic text keyboard not popping up appears to be caused by using the Apple pencil to draw out and type into the frame. The other issues relate to the Pencil Hover feature, which is not yet supported and causes problems as Paul mentioned. Both have now been logged with the developers for resolution. 🙂

Thanks, file received 🙂 Without a recipe for replicating I may not be able to get this instance logged, however we do have some notable issues with symbols currently logged, If I can confirm it's related to an existing issue then i'll get it updated with your instance.

Hi @Bryan Lintott welcome to the forums, If the UI is hidden when starting the app it's possible that the UI has been toggled off, this can be toggled via the Tab keyboard shortcut or under View > Toggle UI. If it's not the above it would be helpful if you could provide us with a screenshot of how your app window appears. 🙂

Hi @jochoalions, I've split your second post and moved the other over to feedback, the ability to consolidate symbols as you've described better fits as an improvement suggestion on how they can be handled. Regarding this detached/unlinked symbol issue, are you aware of any set of steps that were taken that resulted in this symbol instance going missing from the panel? If not, could you provide me with the file and i'll see if this can be replicated and then raised with the developers. I've provided a private dropbox link below for any uploads. https://www.dropbox.com/request/Mbl9Us6clQNsnHbXi62m Many thanks

Hi @rpnfan, For what it's worth, This .PS file fails to open in Illustrator and Acrobat Distiller cannot create a PDF file from it using the standard PDF settings, it's not a format i'm overly familiar with, might this indicate an issue with the file rather than Designer?

Thanks for sending over your files, I've been able to successfully import all the .afassets files you provided into Designer via drag and drop into the Assets panel, this has both successfully imported and is not deleting them upon closing/restarting the app. I had noticed you had uploaded some duplicate .afassets files so I removed these prior to the import. The total file size of my assets.propcol file came to 1.8GB after importing, which is drastically lower than the original file you provided. I've PM'd you a link to a copy of my assets.propcol file, so it may be worth confirming if this works for you after moving the file over to %AppData%\Roaming\Affinity\Designer\1.0\user\
