I want to export the photos in my file as separate photos. I've googled and everything says export as slices and or you have to jump through hoops to maintain the layers integrity??? In photoshop I have an option to export layers to slices OR export layers to files. I can not for my life figure out why I would want to export my photos from affinity photo 2 as web design assets which IS what slices are. can anyone tell me how to batch export, retain each layers attributes, filters etc as applied to said layer as either a flat PNG or a separate layered file. starting to look like I will have to save my big file as 24 separate files then go in and manually delete when I do not want in the individual file.

In photoshop I had myriad ways to blend the top photo over another. Blend modes such as multiply, screen and overlay. I cant find these in either affinity photo or design.. Im sure it has to be there I just dont remember how to find them. I suspect maybe they are called something else? or under some panel I am unaware of?

4 years later and still waiting on plugins. I know for a fact mr retro is interested in porting his to affinity but where is the stumbling block? Maybe its time to start courting those third party creatives to the table. and not just for photoshop but for designer as well.

for the second time on upgrading my affinity products the upgrade has introduced a scrolling bug. last time I had to reset SMC to get it to stop but last time it just affected affinity. this time right after upgrading last night ANYTHING that scrolls has gone wacko. leaving me to believe affinity has introduced a bug or a virus to my computer. I hope this is not the case but I do find it strange that this is happening only when affinity apps get updated on my imac.

to the best of my knowledge no filters work with affinity. Because how could we load them unless the software allows you to load them? gotta admit I have found affinity learning curve a little daunting because they frequently use odd terminology as compared to what Im used to. Or, I just do not know how to find it. defo would like to see an official list FROM affinity showing filters they support. Best of my knowledge no one making filters for them.

I was just asking Mr Retro if he would make filters for your software and they said that they would like to, and did in the past with your older software, but they have got no response from affinity for the current suite. come on guys! We loved your software but we missing our filters for so many things!

Hi, I don't remember what the exact fix was. I think it was something to do with the mouse settings.

Il start the ball rolling by saying: Mr Retro has made great filters for photoshop which Im sad to say cant be used in Affinity. PLEASE go to his page and ask him to make his filters for affinity! https://www.facebook.com/mrretrosoftware/ If there are any other filter makers that you all have loved in the old pshop please ask them to make filters for affinity. Please post their facebook page, or other contact method here, and Ill be happy to make requests as well. I miss all my goodies but never going back to the rob-you-blind-subscription model that adobe demands. If there are any filters out there for affinity please let me know!

Hi RC-R thanks for the tip. My zoom menu looks different. maybe because Ive got mojave? Ive resolved the issue with apple support. I didnt realize any control over the mouse might be found elsewhere. So ill defintiy go through these items under accessibility if the problem recurs. Thank you so much for taking the time to try to help. I appreciate it.

Okay did that but its still doing the same thing. But I think Ive just realized this is something going wrong in the imac probably related to mojave. saying this because, on a hunch, I opened a new document in corel painter and something similar but not exactly the same is happening. its like the image scrolls all by itself. with corel its zooming in all by itself. If any of your mac users have encountered this hope they have ideas. and if I figure out what is going on and if there is a solution Ill post back here. the weird thing is that it does not do it in photoshop CS4 or CS5. Ill contact apple support as well. Though thats not promising as Ive seen there is a scrolling problem out related to logitech mice that they have not responded to. I dont even have a logitech mouse. and its weird that I have the same mice I had the last time I used both corel and affinity. but thank you for trying to help.

UPDATING WITH SOLUTION: remove any third party USB hubs. reset SMC on your imac. That fixes the problem. Original problem: Seems to be my day for not remembering how to do things. for some reason I can not grab the text I just typed. Cant adjust it in anyway. This makes me think I must have turned something off and forgot how to turn it back on? Cant see any border boxes on anything. and cant select anything no matter what tool I click on in the panel. Im stumped. maybe this is related to the problem Im having with affinity Photo? in that software I cant grab anything and the photo is floating across the screen. has got to be some user error on my part but the last time I used these two applications (october of 2018) everything was fine.

UPDATING WITH SOLUTION: remove any third party USB hubs. reset SMC on your imac. That fixes the problem. RE: affinity Photo (original problem) I just opened affinity after having used it maybe a month or two ago and cant edit an image because its floating across the open window. The floating away from the cursor begins the moment I place the curser over the image. If I try to use the crop tool and want to grab one of the handles to adjust the image instead it flips the image. Its never done this before. Its made the software unusable. I dont know what to do.

Though I have both affinity apps on my mac I decided to get them for my ipad because I like the feel of a pen and pencil in hand. Of course I have a fnacy wacom which just has so many cords as to be a torture when trying to freehand anything. Im old school I miss paper and pen. And thus I saw the affinity apps for ipad and I thought oooooooooooooo No wires in the way! So popped them on the ipad and hopped over to apple hoping to find a nice stylus but alas no. Just an extremely expensive pencil, which Id drool over, except that it does not work with my 3yr old ipad 2. enter me eagerly looking for any reccomends for a stylus to use with my ipad and affinity. Ive seen some very cheap ones on amazon but I dont fancy a tip with a disk on the end of it. I rather like to see the point of my pen or pencil but Im not sure which would be good for me and not bad for my ipad screen. any suggestions appreciated! Thank you!

I get what you are saying. but most design is not done for print. I would expect affinity publisher to behave like word or quark. I would expect a design tool to behave like a multimedia (not print) design tool. Im used to doing things fast and changing the size of the artboard, page or what-have-you quickly is a plus. why would I use a photo adjustment tool to create vector art?
