It's fantastic, but it would be much better not to enter quick mask mode at all.

Hi, there is no beta since December 3. Are we waiting for something special, or...? :)

Yes, "Freehand Selection Tool" in combination with SHIFT for straight lines, works great, but what we need more is Magnetic Lasso Tool.

I've just discovered that the "Freehand Selection Tool" works also as a "Polygonal Lasso Tool" in PS if you press and hold SHIFT key. So, why this method couldn't be used in drawing with "Pencil Tool" in Designer? This way, you can remove "Pen Tool" and "Node Tool", too. Nodes could be added by double clicking on a line segment and removed by double clicking on them (as in CorelDRAW). Each time you click on a node by holding the SHIFT key, you change the line segment type to sharp, smooth or smart. Dragging the straight line segment converts it to curve (Xara), automatically. It would be nice also, to emphasize the segments to which the conversion will be applied, if multiple nodes are selected.

Let's put it this way: You, in person, have 10 computers -- 5 with WinOS and 5 with MacOS. You have to buy 2 licenses, for each app, and you can install them on all computers. You are not allowed, even they are your own computers, to run the apps on all 10 at same time. It is supposed, in this case, that 10 people are working at the same time. But, you can open and work with each oh them on any single computer by your choice. If any other person(s) is involved you have to buy additional one licence for that person if he is going to work on only one OS, or two licences -- for both OS's. Or, to be more precise, because you have 2 licences for each OS's, you or one more person, can open and work at the same time on both OS's.

Hi, 1. This is a second Beta release without "Beta" sign on it 2. When there is a beta release, click to "Download" button redirect me to the page where is the offer to buy Photo, instead to the forum to download it 3. When are you going to change the forum titles under the "Affinity Beta Support" from "Windows Beta" and "Mac Beta" into "Photo Beta" and "Designer Beta"? 4. After version 1.5.0.43 it should start with 1.5.1 and not with 1.5.1.43, I think?

You think about animation and they don't get equal or better to PS. Isn't it too early for animation now?

I press on one style then Undo, then on some other then Undo again, in some point the color is not the same as it was on the opening of the file.

There are no styles. I was just practicing on it.

I was using all styles with the file in attachment.

Yes, it is not harmful at all, but if you remove those two boxes, the others can go easily to the main window. :)

Hi, 1. Open the file (see the attachment 2. Select the background, then invert the selection to select the flower 3. Click and Undo several times repeatedly on different presets from the "Styles" palette to retrieve the original starting picture, it doesn't work. Instead of bright red, it get dark tones.

Hi, I found that "Erase Brush Tool" and "Background Erase Brush" do the same. They erase to transparency. I tought that "Erase..." shoud clear the canvas with selected color, as in PS. Would it be better if there is only one "Erase Tool" and choose the options from context toolbar: 1. Erase to foreground color 2. Erase to background color 3. Erase to transparency 4. Flood erase with their respective parameters?

See the attachement: 1. I choose EPS for export, then click on "More..." and I get window #2 2. Then, if I choose a different format (ex: TIFF) from "Preset:" or "File format:" and click on "Close" the format is switched from EPS to TIF. Can you explain to me what for are these options "Preset:" and "File format:" when I can choose the format I want from the main window? untitled.afphoto

Also: I saved a selection as a "Spare channel" and I can't retrieved it when I opened the file again -- not with double click on the spare channel, not with any combination of CTRL, ALT, SHIFT... In PS, CTRL + click on alpha channel retrieves the selection.

Other selection tools: mixed -- some options work, some not, some of them differently.

Laso tool: Drag + RightMouse -- not works Drag + ALT -- Subtracts (OK) Drag + CTRL -- Add (not OK, it should move the selection) Click + SHIFT -- works only if you start the action outside the selection, otherwise it moves the selection.

No, it doesn't work that way, either.

Hi, 1. When starting to select inside selection (with "Add/Substract" option selected) it moves the selection instead of adding/substracting. 2. "Drag + RightMouse" feature doesn't work.

No, it is not.

Hi, I want to resize the document (Resample box checked) and enter a new dpi value, it is not changed when I press TAB. I have to click twice on Resample check box to see the result. (I've just noticed that this works OK only with pixels, not with other MU). Also, when I change the value in Size box (Resample box checked) and press TAB, the dpi value is not changed even I click twice on Resample check box. I would prefer PS way of dealing with this window.

Thank you for this information, but I prefer Designer/Photo to manage them properly. I don't mean to use legacy apps any more.

It doesn't work, either.

Inkscape can also open CDR and CMX.

Hi, I have an EPS file exported from QuarkXPress (completelly vector). It can't be opened with Designer/Photo, but it can be with Photoshop. Here is the file. ideja za faktura.qxd_Page 7.eps
