Stroke panel in Photo
loukash replied to pioneer's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
I vaguely recall this has been discussed just recently. The answer is yes. This is for compatibility with vector brushes that have been applied using Designer. But the button likely should be hidden in Photo if there's no vector brush selected in the first place. -
photopea.com can. It's not very great at it (yet), but it can.

I have no clue. Only the time that passed, about 20 months.

You mean Ash founded Serif when he was 9 years old? That would be… impressive!

Why would you need to do that…? -
Yeah, I know. I wasn't "worthy" a license on my first attempt either. It has worked on a second attempt some time later though.

Perhaps the fonts don't allow embedding? I'm using Packzview: packz.com/downloads-info/#b450b04df8abdf0e4

wrong path and selection behaviour

And you can: hold the Command key to activate the temporary Node tool mode klick on the curve voilà -
Until this I found your contributions interesting. Now welcome to my ignore list.

Sure. If you speak fluent gibberish.

That's what I've been trying to figure out since the free VS betas a few years ago. I still have absolutely no clue by looking at the esoteric PDF export options, let alone by attempting to understand what they mean. PDF/X-3 or PDF/X-4 presets? Fail.

Try this: launch Affinity go to menu → System Preferences → Displays and temporarily change the display resolution -

I don't know the old Serif apps, but in Affinity you can go "backwards": shrink the text frame to fit the text by double-clicking a center handle on the bounding box drag the "extra" resize handle at bottom right -
I had the same thought this morning upon looking at the Canva website, having just watched a Picard season 2 episode last night…

Batch convert afphoto to psd?

System Events UI scripting via Automator or Shortcuts.app or a 3rd party macro tool like Keyboard Maestro. -
Agreed. In another "concurrent" forum thread I also mentioned two positive examples from the music business: Apple acquiring Emagic (Logic Pro), and Yamaha acquiring Line 6 (Pod and Helix amp/effect modelers). Those products only got better over the years. Caveat: From what I've seen and read so far though, Canva apparently doesn't have the professionals' credibility that Apple or Yamaha have.

Agreed. As designers, many of us have been burned. FreeHand and iView Media, just to name the two major victims I used to be using. But not every such acquisition ends up that badly. Some examples from my alternate musician-self: Apple buying Emagic Logic 20 years ago? What an amazing tool Logic is today! And apparently still developed by the same Emagic team. (Alright, Apple going subscription model with the new Logic for iPad smells fishy though…) Yamaha swallowing Line 6? Buying their HX Stomp amp and effect modeler was my best music gear investment in literally four decades being an active musician! Hard to tell if the Line 6 company had all the resources without Yamaha backing. So, also with Affinity it still can continue pretty well.

@Bryan Rieger, I get that. So… personally, I still have a few years ahead until official retirement, but I've been already slowly withdrawing from all this design business anyway. I may be a designer by profession, but I've always been a musician at heart. That's what I'm definitely gonna do for as long as my fingers and eardrums will allow. For the design work that I will choose to do, Affinity 2 will still do a good job for many years to come. I mean, as of 2024 I can still be creative using Affinity 1 on a MacBook Pro from 2008 if necessary. It's a bit slow but it still works. Will I pay any subscription, should this happen with v3? No friggin' way. Will I pay for a v3 perpetual license now that Serif is being owned by a huge company? Thinking of it today, unlikely. I'll wait and see.
