Thanks, Hanan!

I have made 10 free tone mapping presets. I have not seen any tone mapping presets for affinity photo so I made some for anybody who might want them. Of course they will not all work with every photo like all presets but I hope someone finds them useful : ) To upload them just click on the zip. file, then in the tone mapping persona on the presets menu; click "Import Presets", Enjoy! 
Thanks!

Hi guys! I've been working on this template file to create social media branding material for my clients. 
I've managed to create a single file with multiple artboards (each one with it's export presets) ready for use.
You are welcome to delete the ones that you will not use (so you don't generate empty files on export).
 
It also includes flat icons from each platform just in case you might need them.
 
It's updated for 2017 according to this data from Social Sprout.
 
Hope you find it as useful as me.
 
Leave a comment if you like/use it. If you are going to post it anywhere else, please add the proper credits
 
Thanks!

I have produced a pdf version of the Affinity Photo manual that you can read without starting the program. It can be interesting to put it on your phone or tablet to read when you have some time to spare. Since the file is too big to upload here, I have put it on Dropbox for you to download. It is current for the last version of Affinity Photo. Comments welcomed. Here is the link:

Will you need beta testers out in the field? 
 
I am starting a side/personal project that is a magazine. And I am hoping to start building it with Publisher -- rather than using my work computer and InDesign. Don't get me wrong. I love InDesign. I just can't afford to pay such a steep price and have it as a subscription. I am glad to see Affinity is providing a straight product purchase model. 
 
So, I am really looking forward to Publisher. Keep up the great work. Thanks.

Happy Holidays to you as well!

Happy Holidays everyone, thanks Affinity for making such wonderful and affordable tools!
 
Here's a holiday card I did for our clients at work. The full text reads, "It was done using both AD and AP. I love using these tools, it's amazing how fluid they are :)

Hello
 
My name is Ian and I am sick to death of waiting for Illustrator to spin its wheels. So I searched for an alternative; and what an alternative I found!
 
Designer is quick and slick, and it anchors itself to existing Apple technologies. Now I am particularly excited about Publisher and look forward to trying it out.
 
Computer programmer by occupation, in a prior life I studied classical composition at the Guildhall school in London, l'm a lover of good typography and recently discovered a talent for designing websites. ;-)
