[View and edit spare channels]

Hi Arta 

Yes, you can create a spare channel by right clicking in the channels tab (Bottom right corner of the app) and edit the spare channel by right clicking it also :)

I hope this helps!

Hi Jackdc

Welcome to the forum! :)

We don't have an app for iPad just yet, this is being researched and tested as we speak.

Here's a taster of Designer working on an iPad, watch this space! :)

[Performance Affinity < PS6]

Hi Sascha,

Have you experienced similar issues with any of your projects or just the sample specifically? 

If you have had this issue with your own files, would it be possible to provide them so we could take a look? I'm unable to replicate this here.

[Distorting in AD]

Hi houseofdeadleg!

 

This is not possible yet, but it's on our roadmap (Warp/perspective distortion tools).

It will be coming in a future update :)

[Infra red post processing workflow]

No problem :)

[Selecting and saving an object]

Hi,

Welcome to the forums! :)

I would suggest taking a look at this tutorial, each step taken in this video is described in detail and this seems to be the same thing you are looking to do. Use the Selection Brush to define an area, then Copy and Paste the selection into your project. 

 

If there's anything specifically you are not sure about just comment on this thread again and I will try my best to make it easier to understand :)

We do not have a specific user guide of any kind at the moment, but you can refer to the inbuilt help or just post any questions you have on this forum.

[samples won't download]

Hi duendecito,

Welcome to the forum! 

The red 'X' you see on the cloud icon suggests it is downloading.

After some time (depending on your network connection) this should disappear and you can open the sample file.

With regards to the Toggle Full Screen shortcut, this is correct. The ⌃ you can see in the shortcut refers to the CTRL key. As seen here.

[All the brushes in the impainting tool is not working]

Hi casthely

Welcome to the forum! :)

Do you have the correct layer selected? 

If you do have the layer selected and you still have no joy with the brush, please provide me with a copy of your file so I can investigate further.

[using filmconvert photoshop plugin]

Hi Luke,

Are you trying to install the plugin to work with Affinity?

I'm unsure what help you are looking for exactly.

[grainy graphics]

Hi johnnyy71

Do you find that all fonts appear grainy? Or just a few specific ones? 

 

Can you confirm what actions you are doing that gives you a blurred image?

[Export PDF CMYK impossible]

Hi Laurent17

You'll need to install the latest customer beta to see the same menu's, this will be updated in the app store version soon!

[iPad pro]

Hi GLO

Welcome to the forums!

The Affinity Photo and Designer are exclusively for Mac at the moment. We are looking at making something for the iPad, it is being researched and tested now! 

Check out this link for a teaser :)

[I can't see the transformation and layer panels...]

Hi Fefo,

Are these tabs missing? Click View>Studio>Reset Studio.

[Infra red post processing workflow]

Hi Neil

Welcome to the forums! :)

I have been looking at some of the tutorials for this and found that most of the steps are just the same in Affinity Photo. I have been using this tutorial as a guide and the only differences are;

Step 4: Hue and Saturation is called HSL adjustment within Affinity, this can be found under Layer>New Adjustment Layer> HSL Adjustment

Step 5: Affinity Photo does not have the Photo Filter, but you can achieve the same effect using Lens Filter (Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Lens Filter Adjustment) Just set the colour to blue and then continue as advised in the tutorial. 

I hope this helps, if there's anything you're not sure about just let me know :)

[Export slices as visible, not the actual layer?]

Hi Wayne

Would it be possible to provide a copy of the file you are working on so I can take a look? Feel free to PM me a Dropbox link if you'd prefer.

[Changing cursor on tools]

Hi FreshGresh!

It is not possible to change the cursors that show when using different tools.

Ill move this post over to the Feature Requests section.

[What raster & vector brush sets are available/ compatable?]

Hi FreshGresh,

Welcome to the forum!

You can download brushes from the Resources section of the forum, many users provide their own brushes so you should find quite a variety :)

Affinity Designer does support .abr files so you should be able to import brushes from Illustrator in this format with no issues

J

[Affinity Powerpoint?]

Hi,

This is something that has been requested before, but we have no plans to create something like it at the moment.

[Equivalent of PS Distort Transform?]

Hi Tomek,

There's no specific feature for this, but you can convert a quickshape object to curves then use the Node Tool, which would give you the same results. There are also other ways of doing this as MEB has explained in this post. 

I hope this helps!
