Have you looked at the range of Pro and Semi-pro video editing products from Magix? They offer products from the really simple and straightforward to the rather more complex and demanding. Jeff

Hi. I think this thread will answer your question. Jeff

Hi welcome to the Affinity forums. Have you checked the information in your Affinity account here? Logging in there should show you all the valid product keys for Affinity products purchased direct from Serif. HTH Jeff

Hi, welcome to the Affinity forums. First, I strongly suggest you change your forum user name. Using your email address makes it available to bots seeking to find where they may send potential spam emails. Second, purchasing is always by download so, depending on the operating system you have you need, for Mac, to go to the Mac App Store. For Windows you have a choice of the Microsoft Store or direct from Affinity. The web site home page is here. I think the iPad version is only available direct from Affinity? You've not said whether you are looking to buy Designer or Photo but are you aware there is a 10 day trial of either or both if you search the site, just to ensure it suits what you want to do? HTH Jeff

@William Overington As @MikeW wrote: Edit>Preferences>Auto Correct, second item. See the screenshot below

Hi, welcome to the Affinity forums. No, unfortunately you can't! Each OS (Windows, Mac and iOS (iPad)) has its own licence and requires the user to have a separate (purchased) licence for each operating system. Jeff

@MikeW I wholeheartedly agree with your comment on the word "demand", but I wonder whether the OP's use of that word is another "translation anomaly" between his/her native Polish and English? It has always slightly "amused" me that the French demander (literally, to demand) is actually translated as "to ask". Perhaps something similar here? Jeff

Hi, welcome to the Affinity forums. The latest release version of Aff Photo and Designer is 1.6.x (the "x" varies slightly I think between Mac and Windows versions). 1.7 Beta is available to download from here (Designer) or here (Photo). HTH Jeff

Interesting question! However, I think the apparent error re Vignetting is not actually an error! If you look at the detail under Tonal adjustments and finishing" points 3 and 4 there is clear mention of vignette and vignette filter. IOW, I suspect the index is "incomplete" rather than having "many errors". However, I do agree that this incompleteness can lead to some degree of confusion, but I am unaware of any "corrections" being issued. Jeff

Could that be the reason? Is it not always considered best practice to allow installers to run without any potential "interference" from other running apps which might e.g. "lock" system files which are needed by the running installer? (Some software installers even suggest that AV be turned off.) The reboot would then be required to "release" the locked files and allow the installation to complete. Perhaps any "warning" screen about this was hidden behind whatever other app you had open at the time? Jeff

Hi. This post should, I think, be moved to https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/forum/19-photo-beta-on-mac/ since the mention of version .106 suggests the OP is a MAC user. Jeff

I didn't think I'd imagined that to be the case!

@StevenS Thank you for this post, and my apologies to @IsabelAracama for the error in my reply to you! Jeff

Hi, welcome to the Affinity forums. Perhaps you could tell us how you resolved the issue, so that other users who find your post whilst searching for assistance with a similar problem, might also be guided to resolve theirs. Jeff

Hi, welcome to the Affinity forums. I strongly suspect that at least part of the MS Publisher file format is proprietary to MS and hence not made available to other software companies. If so, Serif cannot write an Importer without some degree of (illegal) reverse engineering of the MS format. Hence, I think it is highly unlikely to happen. I believe the only method of importing such files to APublisher is if they are exported from MS Publisher as pdfs. Jeff

Hi. 10 days, starting from the day you first open the app. IOW, if you "open" it for the first time today, the trial will end 10 days later, whether or not you have opened it again in the meantime. HTH Jeff

Does Affinity software even Install, let alone Run, under XP??? Jeff

@John Rostron As you say, the lack of 64 bit drivers for scanners is what prevents Affinity apps from directly accessing them. Your workaround, perfectly reasonable, requires the use of 32 bit TWAIN drivers rather than 64 bit WIA. But how is a 64 bit app (Affinity) able to work with 32 bit scanner drivers? I do understand what you are asking for; however, I think it cannot be made to work because of the different bit depths. Jeff

@Mark Conway But did you buy the app from the Microsoft Store or direct from Serif? If from the store, simply log into your store account on your new computer, taking care to use the identical credentials as for your laptop, and you should find the app listed as available to download and install. If you purchased from Serif, simply go to your Affinity account, sign in and follow the instructions to find and download the product and key. There is no need to remove the previous installation from your laptop unless you need to do so. You can happily and legitimately run it on both the machines you own and control. HTH Jeff

@Ari Safari Welcome to the Affinity forums. Since you bought the app from the Microsoft store the answer is essentially the same as that given to @dondiego You will need to contact support at the Microsoft/Windows store to ask for their help. Jeff

+1 for Faststone Capture. Jeff

@kennykayz Since you purchased from the app store you will have to contact it for your refund, not Serif.

@ddill I also have the DXO version of Nik, running AP 1.6.5.123 and the latest beta, under Win 10 1803. I don't experience the problem of small font and preview panels, so it would seem this is something specific to your computer. Just as a test, I tried dragging the left and right edges of the plugin window, but that simply shrank the image (centre) window and left the side panels untouched. Jeff

I too run Win 10 and previously used the Google NIK plugins and now have the DXO version. The latter all work, whereas at least some of the former did not. (Honestly can't remember exactly which ones did or didn't work.) I also have plugins from Topaz Labs and Photowiz, amongst a number of others, all working properly. I think the title of this thread needs to be changed: Some plugins still don't work! Jeff
