1. to be editable;

2. to change the second color easily (by rotating the mask);

 

like in the attached file?

Hi,

is it possible to download APh and AD video tutorials and how?

[Some suggestions about Publisher]

Here are some suggestions about Affinity Publisher in attachment. These are from Viva Designer. There are some very interesting features not seen in InDesign and QuarkXPress:

[units]

PowerBASIC. The best and fastest programming language in the world. Made completelly in assembler and you can write in assember inside it.

:)

[Save incremental/ save version]

Yes, but Save-As does not delete previous versions. VAX/VMS systems had this options. Files were automatically named like (*.txt;1 *.txt;2... *.txt;3) whenever you pres Ctrl-S and when you activated Purge, all previous versions were deleted and the newest version was renamed to (*.txt).

 

* = file name

 

P.S. But. this tool should be part of the OS.

[Save incremental/ save version]

And also, a purge. When the design is finished, to delete all previous version and leave only the latest one?

[Duplicate Documents]

Maybe it would be better to leave the decision to the user. Let Affinity allow the user to chose where (s)he wants to copy/duplicate the file - maybe on another hard disk, not on different partition on the same HD.

I think we may have missed hands and fathoms...  And parsecs.

 

All really useful when mocking up websites.   ;)

 

@Petar_MK  - it's not "hard" - it is just time consuming, so it'll go in the queue with everything else that other people consider more important.  BTW - have you bought Affinity yet?   ;)

 

Yes, I know that. I also do some programing in PowerBASIC.  :)

I will buy it when it comes to Windows platform. I don't have Mac.  :)

[own PDF app?]

My motto is: "Less Adobe apps, more joy". BTW it is the same for Microsoft apps.  :)

[units]

I don't know how many units you support, but there will always be somebody who needs its own one (me included). Why is so hard to add this feature?

[own PDF app?]

By exporting Affinity document into PDF maybe?  :)

[own PDF app?]

Is it a good idea to develop a new creating/viewing "PDF" app beside Adobe's Acrobat and Reader?

[Smart Layers | Affinity Photo | Affinity Designer]

1. How much is TIF compatible with PSD files?

2. Does Affinity covers TIF format 100%?

 

If so, maybe it is better to convert PSD to TIF an then import to AP to retain as much as possible from Photoshop documents?

[Suggestion about names?]

The names of Affinity trio is as much generic as possible. There are plenty apps with original names like Pixelmator, Picasa, Snapheal, Capture One... But, what's wrong with generic names? They are much easier to find.

[Suggestion about names?]

As it stands, the names of the two released apps are "Affinity Photo" & "Affinity Designer." These are unique names, not used by any other software product or identical to any generic noun or verb names. This makes it easy to search the web for info on either one.

 

We do not need the same kind of search problems with Affinity that we already have with Apple's maddeningly generically named apps like "Photos," "Mail," "Contacts," or "Calendar."

 

Sorry, are you a member of Affinity stuff, or maybe a spokesman?

[Suggestion about names?]

Hi,

I would like to make a suggestion about changing Affinity app's names to match each other as they should be.

 

1. First suggestion

• Photographer
• Designer
• Publisher

 

2. Second suggestion

• Photo
• Design
• Publish

As you see, in the first suggestion the name of Photo is extended to Photographer, and in the second, the names of Designer and Publisher are changed to match Photo.

[Easier Scroll for Typography, Rule of Thirds, points for typography.]

In QuarkXPress you can change leading, tracking... (and be more accurate) while holding ALT/OPTION by amount 0.1 of the unit.

So, you in Affinity can add this feature and even be more creative by using some other modifier key (together with ALT, maybe) for even greater precision: 0.01 or 0.001.

[All UI Elements are too small on a 5k iMac]

Maybe moving over the icons with mouse to display bigger icon (like with loupe) would be better solution?

[Character styles, paragraph styles and symbols]

So, as I can see, lot of users need specific app features (ex: text/paragraph styles typical for an app like APublisher) to be requested for AD or APh and vice versa. And so, everything is going my way as I mentioned in some previous posts -- all three apps must be joined into one app (through Personas?) to avoid features duplication/triplication.

[Global Colors]

They must be named by their ink percentage. And, after every ink change, the name must be changed, also. All "normal" colors must be replaced by global colors, too.

[CDR Import]

The CDR format is propriety so would make implementation very difficult. If we did have a go then I'm not sure the results would be anywhere near as good as the Export/Import PDF. 

 

Can somebody explain why it can be difficult to be implemented in AD when InkScape does it without (any) problem?

[Linked/global colours – the sooner the better]

All colors should be global/linked colors. Not to be divided as standard and global/linked ones.
