  1. I intended to learn it as a sort of lighting consultant for my illustrations, so I could simulate light and shadow on elements in the evening, which I draw from daylight scenes. And I started with simple examples from basic tutorials, but the problem is just that I forgot everything from week to week because I don't use it that much. Grazie e ciao per ora
  2. It's downright innovative in my book to bring Gandhi into IT optimization!
  3. I need camera profiles in any RAW editor, for several reasons. First, having camera profiles ensures that the colors in the program match those from the in-camera processing, providing a consistent and accurate starting point for editing. This accuracy is crucial for maintaining the intended color rendition and mood captured by the camera. Additionally, using camera-specific profiles allows for a more tailored editing experience, as each camera model has its unique color science and characteristics. Moreover, serious photographers often seek to replicate or improve upon the camera's original look within their workflow, and having access to these profiles within a RAW editor greatly facilitates this process. Camera profiles exist not just for aesthetics but to ensure technical accuracy in color reproduction, compensating for differences in camera sensors and lighting conditions, and to achieve consistency across various devices and editing platforms. It is crucial for professional photography.
  4. Interesting. 🙂 Another reminder for me to give Blender another try, but boy the steep learning curve and so little spare time...
  5. Yes, I have also just made a comment in the v1 forum, I now understand. This is truly an unfortunate bug to not resolve for more than three years, Serif. 😞 I have just tried using various Apple Magic Keyboards with my iPads, and it happens on all of them.
  6. Sigh, now I have actually had to draw over the guides OUTSIDE the paper with lines on a layer, which I then locked, so I can see the guides. 😞
  7. I believe that with any Affinity program, you install 95% common code and 5% user interface for the actual program, so it does not surprise me. I experience it in the same program I created symbols in, they are marked in layers with orange as symbols, so I definitely think it is a bug. It just looks like a scenario that Serif never considered. At any rate, I can easily think of using symbols in that way. Once you learn to utilize your software to be efficient and avoid unnecessary work, you never look back. 🙂
  8. Yes, I suppose so. But I think it's a logical part of the core product and should be centrally located in the user interface. 🙂
  9. Haha, thank you Walt, not sure how I missed that setting! Serif, I'm not a big fan of Affinity v2's pitch-black, dull flat interface, but now I at least got that setting right!
  10. As mentioned in the previous request, I cut a lot with the knife, and I often do it outside the page or artboard, which acts a bit like my workbench. I can create additional artboards, but that becomes too rigid. I'm fine with the messy area around it. Unfortunately, guides are not displayed outside the page/artboard, and I can't use them for my work out there. Couldn't they be designed to be displayed everywhere, as long as clip to canvas is not enabled?
  11. I have started to use the knife tool more and more on objects that I arrange following a precise guide pattern, and I trim the objects with the knife after the guides. Therefore, I use keyboard shortcuts to make straight cuts. It's probably not the first time in human history that someone has cut along a drawn line. 😊 Unfortunately, in terms of user-friendliness, it's not very easy to hit the guide precisely, it's hard to see when/if I hit it, and whether I follow the guide. I zoom in and out a lot and often miss. I think, when snapping is enabled, you should add some snapping between the knife and guides at least, some kind of assisted mode where it's nearly impossible not to start on the guide and follow it, so you cut precisely. Instead, I use boolean operators for precision when I can, and that's a pity. 😞
