  1. There are incremental x64 app translations as well as fully native ARM builds. Starting as a fully emulated x64 workload After recompiling the most CPU-intensive parts as Arm64EC After continuing to recompile more x64 modules over time Ending result of a fully native Arm64EC app Apparently users can get a glimpse if the applications main executable is partial or fully using ARM64EC by looking into the Task Manager https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/arm/arm64ec
  2. https://www.ffmpeg.org/legal.html https://mailman.videolan.org/pipermail/x264-devel/2010-July/007508.html MPEG-LA's fees are zero for the first 100,000 units, 20 cents per unit until 5 million, and 10 cents beyond that, capping at around $5m per year. and here is a thing; depending on how the user downloads those files, it is completely legal (for you as the developer). Similar distribution and linking rules applies to Blender GPL and plugins.
  3. If I want to deploy my self written software to various platforms, while using modern development tools, I just select the accompanying export preset and after a compile, it is done... But who knows how Serif works or what tools they use to make their software. FFmpeg has figured that out and reverse engineered those codecs making it 100% legal.
  4. Here this is the official provided paths to learn the programs which are covered by the Affinity V2 Universal License. https://affinity.serif.com/en-gb/learn/ Official Certification or Authorized Tutorial Maker are in my opinion Badges of maximum Cringe, similar to bought blue check marks on certain social media.
  5. Thanks for sharing your viewpoint, it is interesting to read it. I wish you well and when you visit a coffee shop to make business decisions on the customers which go there, a good latte. EDIT No sarcasm was meant in the above text. I bought the Steam Deck and was pleasantly surprised to be able to start up many beloved and used programs like Davinci Resolve among a 3D Application and other programs on it. As always depending on the use cases, Linux can be a viable solution.
  6. Two years is a lot in the tech world. Depending on the product and wanted perceived image, you will deliberately do stuff which will be seen as gobsmackingly stupid for the outside world. Aiming for specific target groups is nothing new. According to the Steamsurvey; Windows has over 96% of users (of ~500 Million customers) Serif decided that it would help to cater first to the tiny minuscule less than 2% OSX crowd.
  7. Vectorartwork experiment. Two diamond shapes with just two solid colours,some FX and a couple Live Filters. Moving or recolouring one of those shapes takes a couple seconds for the UI refresh. Edit: here is the used Layerstack.
  8. uhm, why use such old Data when the user statistics can always be taken directly from the source which gives newer data too? https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/Steam-Hardware-Software-Survey-Welcome-to-Steam steady gains with statistics from one month ago, December 2023: 1.97% for Linux 1.63% for OSX 96.4% for Windows For Games, the market is being build up by Valve/Steam with the sale of its portable PC/Console, the Steam Deck and its newest revision. Quite a neat portable system, Arc Linux running on it. With Proton + Wine, you can besides Linux stuff use quite a lot of Windows based Games and Software on it.
  9. Rebelle has since v5 AI included for upscaling your works (because all those simulations are resource hungry and up-scaling the result with AI is less taxing), its called NanoPixel technology. AI can be helpful if it´s used as an aid to overcome technical mishaps like fixing a too small set canvas or aiding in masking out flying hair etc.
  10. The Treachery of Images a 1929 painting from René Magritte This is not a Pipe is written underneath I upscaled it 4X with AI, It is still not a pipe, you can´t use the image on your end (phone,tablet/pc screen etc) as a pipe. AI upscaling can sometimes fail and distorts results. As with every other technology, to AI it applies too; it is best to be wary of using AI without vetting the results with the original data. I am eager to know what AI systems Serif has vaguely said will come.
  11. I agree, best would be a DAM which keeps the folder/file structure intact and shows "unknown" files as is. only other solution I know of is the file manager XYplorer but thats usually coupled with a lot of scripting and elbow grease to make it do what you need. https://www.xyplorer.com/index.php https://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic.php?t=18442
  12. https://en.eagle.cool/article/757-how-to-import-images-with-iptc-attributes The option of Importing images with IPTC keywords is available in Eagle. A keyword list of ITCP to import doesn´t seem to be available there.
  13. if a mac and windows compatible DAM only solution is needed, Eagle is imo a good option. https://en.eagle.cool/
  14. The Layer Effect window should stay on the last active panel, in the given example Outer Shadow tab/window should still be visible when switching the Layer. Right now after clicking on another Layer, Outer Shadow "closes" switches to Bevel/emboss. The behavior is unwanted and same issue as the Quick FX window closing its tabs bug which once was fixed. The User wants the opened state no matter if its the Layer Effects or Quick FX to remain the same. As an example for the QuickFX situation, other programs give the Users the ability to disable/enable AutoClose UI Groups since sometimes both UI behaviors can be preferred by the user.
