Hi Driver09

Welcome to the forum

This tutorial explains how to add a motion blur effect, you can use the eraser tool to deselect certain areas of the image to preserve the car. 

JFisher,
Thank you for that,  its a great help and a good video.
appreciated
 

With the Selection Brush Tool
Using a small brush (14px) go around all the outside of the man. Don't worry about the middle of the man, you can do that later with a bigger brush
Go slowly, as the faster you go the less accurate the tool is.
If you select outside the man, just continue as you will come back later to redo these areas.
Once you have selected all the outside of the man, change to a smaller brush (6px), switch the Selection Brush Tool to Subtract and slowly go over the areas outside the man that you accidently selected previously.
Once you are happy you have selected all the outside of the man you can switch to a larger brush, switch the Selection Brush Tool back to Add and quickly select all the inner parts of the man.
Then hit the Refine button and (in this case) set the Smooth slider to 4.5px
The main point is that in areas of low colour difference use a small brush to do the edges first, nice and slowly.
Tip: In areas where it is almost impossible to see the difference where one object ends and another begins, adding a temporary Brightness/Contrast adjustment layer and adjusting the contrast can help define these areas better.  Making the selection process easier. Just delete this layer afterwards

Thank you for your response.  It worked. 

Bingo! Thanks. I didn’t think of going back to the Photos persona.

Hi Damogran,
 
This is down to the EPS file format.  You've added a layer effect which the EPS format just can't display without putting the white there.  If you turn this effect off, you'll see it exports just fine.  To export it with the effect, you can export it as an SVG or PDF and it will look as designed.

Thank you.

Hola Jherrerosca y bienvenidos al foro
 
No tenemos planes de crear un foro separado por el momento, pero por favor, siéntase libre de publicar en su propio idioma, podemos traducir y espero ayudar.

Laptops generally run slower as the hardware is optimised to use less energy and increase battery life so the CPU and memory have lower clock speeds and the hard disk are 5400 rpm models. The specs of your laptop in a desktop will be more than enough to run Affinity Photo.
 
Mac will generally run a program faster than a PC due to the  Apple hardware using the same configurations for the different models and this allows the Mac OSX can be optimised to get the best out of these components, on a PC there are so many combinations of hardware configurations that it is impossible for Windows to optimise the hardware automatically and has to be done manually.

Hi Bikewatch2000,
Welcome to the forums.
 
If you have the latest build available from the iOS App Store (1.6.2) this allows the importing of RAW from the Apple Photos app. However the app doesn't identify RAW files, so you will need to know which file to select. This is confirmed in Affinity Photo as only a RAW file will open in the Develop persona by default.

This is the my first foray into using AD.
I guess I would say I'm a casual user but I absolutely love it!
Initially started with hand drawing but have decided to start to vectorize them.

Hi mbkgfx

Welcome to the forum :)

You won't need to purchase the app again, just log into your account here using the email/password combination used when you made the purchase, or revisit your email confirmation which will give you a link to download the app.

Hi Rezlegal,
 
Welcome to the Forums :)
 
The apps are separate purchases I'm afraid. I don't use iPads very often so I will let someone else leave you a recommendation! I'm not sure exactly what you mean by best tutorial, we don't have any that will teach you everything you need in one video.

I just wanted say I was genuinely impressed by the quality of adjustment and output when developing some Nikon RAW files. It's not the kind of performance you would expect on the iPad and I need to remind myself that this genuinely is pro quality software and reevaluate my expectations of what is possible on the platform now.
A big well done to the team.

Today I received a letter with a new version for the ipad and this possibility can not be - discount of -20% !!!
I immediately bought :P,  I'm glad and happy crazy with you! I will quietly rejoice in new works!     Thanks to the developers for the mega product!
I'm glad that there are companies that make super products at a good price!
Creative success to you friends!   +1  :wub:    

Hi sisa5
 
Welcome to the forums :)
 
Affinity Designer can only access the PDF stream included in AI files, which doesn't contain the file layer structure. So it isn't possible to access the layers in Designer unfortunately.

Thanks, JFisher!  That explains why using it on a layer with no transparency had no effect.  :)

Hi Schultz and Welcome to the Affinity Forums,
 
To rename the layer, open up the Layers tab, select the layer and tap the ... icon (3 dots) and then tap the current Layer Name which should be in this case Curves Adjustment.  You'll then get a screen where you can rename the layer.

Hi Susanmmraz

Welcome to the forum :)

We’re sorry that you’re unable to use Affinity Photo on your iPad.   Affinity Photo for iPad requires at least a 9.7 inch screen and uses specific Metal features that are only available to the iPad Air 2, iPad 2017 and all iPad Pro sizes.   Due to the way the App Store works, it wasn’t possible for us to exclude all of the unsupported models of iPad. Because of this we added this phrase into the description on the App store page "supports iPad Pro, iPad Air 2 and iPad (early 2017). Please note that older iPads are not supported", hoping that users would see this before purchase. We are requesting a change to the App Store submission process to avoid unsupported models from being listed.   If you’ve purchased the app and you have an unsupported iPad, please contact Apple to get a refund.

Affinity Photo for iPad – the first fully-featured, truly professional photo editing tool to arrive on Apple’s tablet – is now on sale.
 
We were proud to be able to launch it during the keynote at Apple’s WWDC in San Jose on 5 June – the highlight of Apple’s global product launch calendar.
 
If you saw that, or if you use Affinity Photo already, you’ll understand why it’s the choice of thousands of professional photographers, retouchers and editors around the world. 
 
We think Affinity Photo for iPad redefines photo editing once again, by bringing almost all the features in the Mac version to your iPad, so you can take all that photo editing power with you wherever you go.
 
The new version is tailored to harness the explosive power of the iPad’s hardware and touch capabilities, and is compatible with iPad Air 2, iPad 2017, iPad Pro 9.7-inch, iPad Pro 10.5-inch and iPad Pro 12.9-inch. Please note this is not the list of iPads that the App Store suggests it will work with, see this post for an explanation.
 
We expect this to be the biggest launch we’ve ever had and even better, Affinity Photo for iPad is priced at an introductory discount of more than 30 per cent in the App Store – so for now, you pay £19.99 / $19.99USD / 21,99€.

Hallo Pixelschieber :)
 
Sobald Sie Ihre Auswahl mit dem Stift-Werkzeug vorgenommen haben und es in eine Auswahl umgewandelt haben, klicken Sie auf Auswählen> Als Ersatzkanal speichern. Dies steht nun auf der Registerkarte 'Kanäle' zur Verfügung. Erstellen Sie nun eine weitere Auswahl mit dem Stift-Werkzeug, fügen Sie zu Ihrem bestehenden hinzu und klicken Sie dann mit der rechten Maustaste auf den soeben erstellten Ersatzkanal und klicken Sie auf "Zu Pixelauswahl hinzufügen"
 
Ich hoffe das hilft!

Hi alexbet :)

Unfortunately it is not possible to import your custom settings, this has been requested in the past so hopefully it will be something that is added in a future update. 

Hi My1,

The roadmap for Affinity Designer can be found here. 

Hi Allsop :)

What camera are you using? You can check the supported list here. You can use the Lens panel in the Develop Persona to remove distortions, you may find this tutorial helpful.
