    pruus reacted to Ash in Create and place password protected PDFs   
    Apps: All
    Platforms: macOS, Windows and iPad
    All Affinity apps now allow you to both create and place password protected PDFs.
    Create
    In the advanced export options for PDF files you will see two new options:
    1. Require password to open. If you set a password here that means anyone who tries to open that PDF will be prompted to give this password before they can open it.
    2. Permissions password. Here you can further protect the PDF with options for restricting printing, modification, editing and copying with a secondary password.
    You will also see the type of encryption being used for the file in question. This is based on the PDF compatibility being used in Export. PDF 1.6 & 1.7 both use AES-128, PDF 2.0 uses AES-256. Password protection is not available with PDF 1.4, 1.5 or PDF/X file compatibility.

    Passwords can be saved with the document preset, so for example you could have a preset of “Company Internal PDF” which both specifies the export settings, DPI, etc. you want for that type of document, but also the password settings.
    Place
    Previously you could not place password protected PDFs in Affinity. Now you can - when you attempt to place the PDF you will get a prompt asking you for the password for the document you are attempting to place.

    pruus reacted to Ash in 2.3 New features and improvements list   
    Hi All,
    Below is the list of all new feature and improvements which are included in the 2.3 beta (bug fix list is available here).
    To learn more about these features please click on the link to go to each feature's dedicated post. To give feedback or report bugs against any of these features please reply to that same post (also check out bug reporting and feedback tips).
    • Move Data Entry improvements
    • New tags panel for adding Alt Text to images and objects
    • Spiral Tool
    • Ability to change Asset Panel background colour
    • Fields now available in Find and Replace
    • Pixel grid added
    • "Keep selected" preference now available in Pencil Tool
    • Create and place password protected PDFs
    I should say in general we are now aiming to do slightly smaller updates more regularly than before so we can test and release in smaller chunks. This will allow us to get improvements and fixes out quicker, as well as having overall benefit to the stability of the apps.
    The beta phase will now be shorter (4-6 weeks) for any update, and for that reason we will be avoiding any significant changes to functionality during beta as we focus on fixing bugs and correcting unintentional behaviour. This does mean that more of your improvement suggestions may need to wait until a future update (e.g. like some of the Move Data Entry suggestions you made during 2.2 beta which have now been added to 2.3), but please keep those suggestions coming!
    Getting the 2.3 beta
    If you have not enrolled into the beta program yet and would like to take part, you can do so here. This will immediately give you access to the latest 2.3 beta builds to try for yourself.
    If you are already enrolled in the beta program you have two options:
    1. If you still have the 2.2 beta installed, you can now run up those beta versions and you will be prompted to update them to the 2.3 beta.
    2. If you have uninstalled the 2.2 beta, you will need to go back to Your Account -> Downloads and product keys and find your previous order for the Affinity Beta Software Program, and you can download the 2.3 beta from there.
    Thanks,
    Ash

    pruus reacted to Ash in Ability to change Asset Panel background colour   
    Apps: All
    Platforms: macOS, Windows and iPad
    You can now choose whether you want the background of the Asset Panel to be light, dark, checkerboard or automatic based on your current Light/Dark UI setting. This behaves in the same way as changing the background colour used for layer thumbnails.
    This is primarily to be able to switch the background to achieve greater contrast for the particular assets you are looking at.
    You can change the background colour from the burger menu at the top of the assets panel.

    pruus reacted to thomaso in Difference between these two layer situations?   
    To keep informations together I borrow this from another recent thread:
    There is still much room for confusion (– apart from possible app issues, e.g. redraw or layer thumbnails for adjustments set to invisible).
    In the samples below the Curve Adjustment has Alpha edited (causing inversion & increased contrast). The ellipse has a red fill + thin red stroke. All Blend modes + layer opacity are 'normal' / '100'.
    It seems for the Mask layer alone it matters only for the Ellipse stroke whether the mask is in masking or in clipping position …
    (all adjustments are deactivated):

    … whereas with additional Adjustment layer the stroke doesn't get affected in each sample … while the various Mask results confuse:
    Can you describe in words what process gets executed in the 4 samples?
    Yellow: the adjustment affects the mask brush as expected … but why does the Mask not mask anymore?
    Green: what prevents the mask brush from occurring within the background rectangle … but occurs outside only?
    Blue: what prevents the mask brush entirely from occurring?
    Pink: what is the black resulting from (… there is no 'white' in this layout that might got inverted) / and what limits the black to this rectangle (… not the full page)?

    My goal is not to confuse or detect issues but to understand what's happening with the purpose to be able to predict a result of a setup instead of the need to try it.

    Hi All,
    We have just made 2.2 live across all App Stores and our website. As always, the feedback we have received from you all during this beta has been an incredible help in both shaping the new features as well as squashing many bugs!
    The build we have released is the same as RC3 (build 2005), meaning for the time being whether you use the latest beta version or switch to using the release version they are the same. If you anticipate taking part in the next beta you may wish to keep your current beta version installed, as this will be updated on auto update when a new beta is available. This will either be a 2.2 patch if we feel one is needed, or moving straight onto a 2.3 beta.
    It would be impossible for us to do what we do without your support, and I just wanted to say a huge thanks for everything you have contributed to this release.
    All the best,
    Ash
