[Affinity Designer: instancing]

Thanks!

 

Yes, I read the roadmap and thought symbols might be something like this, but wasn't sure exactly how they will turn out.

 

Time to dig in deep and learn what's already there!

[Affinity Photo: long side pixel size on slices]

Hi,

 

I love the concept of the export persona in Photo.

 

Surely we've all been there where a large raw file has to be repurposed for many things. I feel this is the idea behind the slices in the export persona?

 

But in this case I want to be able to limit the long edge of a slice so that I don't have to re-scale the exported slices in another step. It kind of feels like it should be there already, so am I missing something (I'm new to the apps)?

 

So, in the export options, for instance in the JPEG preset, I'd like to see:

 

Long edge: px and maybe % options

Sharpening (I use quite different values depending on size and purpose)

dpi

 

Thanks!

[Affinity Designer: instancing]

Hi guys,

 

Just starting out here... amazing apps at the right price! Thanks!

 

Would it be possible to add instancing to Designer? 

 

You would create a graphic, let's say a star, and then instead of CMD+J for duplicate, CRTL+CMD+J would create an instance linking back to the original. If I then changed the number of points on the original star, all the instances would be updated.

 

In addition to this a random effect would be nice: scale, rotation and maybe color.

 

Essentially it would be cool to have a cloner function that could make a (massive) number of clones with a somewhat individual appearance that linked back to a single graphic or symbol, that would respect updates to the original graphic.

 

I don't think that is in there now?
