A couple Macros which are mimicking a Cross polarization step, taking out glare and reflections on your images. The glare removal(within the eyes) is a separate included macro. https://gumroad.com/l/CPS-AP Main goal was to free up artist time.

Affinity for Linux
myclay replied to kirov's topic in Feedback for the V1 Affinity Suite of Products
Is there any source (link) for that ? https://www.microsoft.com/en-CA/enterprise/microsoft-adobe-enterprise-partnership https://www.adobe.com/enterprise/microsoft-partnership.html The Partnership between Microsoft and Adobe is a fact since ~2017 and Microsoft ❤ Linux. -
Back to Basic Product Needs
myclay replied to Dennis Nisbet's topic in Feedback for Affinity Photo V1 on Desktop
Photoshop has similar features so those comparisons are explainable and quite a common thing to do so to explain its usefulness in a short amount of time. Affinity Photo in my opinion is so far for my needs the best solution out there for retrieving data from imported PSDs without using programs from Adobe. -

I agree with the macros being limited thus far. @walt.farrell while technically true, It appears that its sometimes quoted and linked to outside reviews on Twitter, Facebook and other official Affinity accounts. an example how it looks like on Facebook; -
They show how their program looks like but its agreeable, their kickstarter is currently sparse with visual information which they should change. Since kickstarter doesn`t allow payment options besides credit-cards, they are further limiting the pool of potential backers. Akira is going to be a UX designer - quick UI prototyping software which they have compared in an interview to Sketch, Adobe XD and Figma. Looking at those mentioned tools, Akira sounds like a great option for those which don`t have macs, dislike subscriptions or cloud/browser based tools.

Release date estimation
myclay replied to PilleniusMC's topic in [ARCHIVE] Photo beta on Windows threads
The serif team would have to ask for access for the free GoZ™ SDK. MEB , Ben maybe you could give this a try? https://support.pixologic.com/ The *.JSX files which where specifically added for the Photoshop addon by Adobe are to my sparse knowledge not compatible, otherwise we as customers could use all kinds of advanced plugins from Photoshop in Affinity Photo. -
Release date estimation

It would indeed be kick ass,. This is more up to Serif since the Macro system is too limited. Affinity Photo/Designer as of now though can be bridged with Zapplink which is a nice thing. After looking, the ZBtoPhotoshop CC Addon is creating everything as separate psds alongside a script which then merges those files inside Photoshop. I guess creating a solution would be easy for the talented serif developers. -
Of course talented and skilled people are around the globe, the only thing which can be holding people back is the lack of opportunities. Ethnicity plays a lot less of a role than you unintentionally implied there. Prior to working at Adobe, Mr Seetharaman worked for CrystalGraphics which is like Adobe based in the US. I hope what was meant with avoiding "outsourcing" is the sweatshop mentality where companies abuse the economic development of other countries to use talent in those countries for marginal wages. If Serif is avoiding the sweatshop mentality to instead hire and give relocation assistance, more power to them.

Affinity for Linux
myclay replied to kirov's topic in Feedback for the V1 Affinity Suite of Products
thing is, cross deployment/releases to multiple OS can be somewhat easy - depending on where and on what you work in and on, its for sure advertised often enough as just having to set up the IDE and the compiler. Please don`t be too harsh on others which haven`t had the enjoyment of fighting IDEs and compilers and the need to crosscheck every tiny feature. -
Affinity on Steam?
myclay replied to mission's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
""your request(for generating keys) will be reviewed on a case by case basis"" "Your request may have been denied due to the amount of keys requested. " but thank you for making me search about how Steam works with partners. https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/features/keys -
Affinity on Steam?
myclay replied to mission's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
It`s probably hard to convince Serif to give up 30% of each sale especially when there are many distributors setting up similar stores with much lower distribution fees. -
To me it looks like a stylized Sloth.

GPL licenced code is probably not interesting for Serif to use. With the current GPLed licence, Serif would have to restructure their entire business model. https://github.com/NatronGitHub/Natron/blob/RB-2.3/LICENSE.txt The .afphoto file format is for everyone outside Serif more secret and undocumented than psd files and Serif stated there is no intention to change that. Without adding an intermediate filechanging capability, it wouldn`t make sense to see Serif resurrect Natron. It makes imo currently no sense at all - Serif and customer wise to see Serif "have" Natron in its current state unless all developers who contributed to Natron agree to relicencing.

Affinity for Linux
myclay replied to kirov's topic in Feedback for the V1 Affinity Suite of Products
With the upcoming Windows 365, there will be yet another subscription to deal with. https://www.computerworld.com/article/3328537/microsoft-windows/microsoft-may-pitch-windows-10-subscriptions-at-consumers.html I think time is ripe for Serif to secure and collect the money of the customers by making the Affinity Product line compatible with CentOS and Ubuntu like other commercial developers already do with their programs. -

https://www.microsoft.com/de-de/p/ubuntu/9nblggh4msv6 maybe the Windows Subsystem for Linux helps when you want to seamlessly want to switch between Linux and Windows? Its only the Ubuntu Terminal so I have 0 idea if its useful or not. -
How can one support Affinity?
myclay replied to kjs's topic in Customer Service, Accounts and Purchasing
Minor updates are free like 1.a to 1.x. Major updates 1.x to 2.x cost money. write bugreports, help in Betatesting. Some even go to lengths to bring the programs into universities to help students. Create stuff which helps others. Best way imo to help is to create amazing art because that is imo the most effective advertisement. -
Things I'd like as an artist on a PC
myclay replied to Baz40's topic in Feedback for Affinity Photo V1 on Desktop
recording the canvas-> giftcam,Screentogif,shareX,obsstudio and other programs. copic markers -> color wheel. -> -> regarding Symmetry, there seems to be significant improvements to be avilable in the current Affinity Photo Beta but I wasn`t able yet to find nor use it, someone else has to confirm or give tips on using/enabling that. -> drawing guides such as symmetry, perspective, isometric and 2d, 3d grids. If you need such features right now - or even better, want them across all your programs, I can only recommend imo the excellent https://lazynezumi.com/ it can be used easily with Affinity Photo. -
Hello John, your words are harsh and straight out hostile, i hope that its just a misunderstanding that you are attacking others personally. There is an "infinite amount of users" its the human population growth which is growing each year. Even if there where a theoretical saturation of consumption, Serif would then release a new version - a paid upgrade and the sales begin again. Serif hasn`t even begun yet in catering to at least ~1 billion potential customers which would happen if RTL writing was available inside the Affinity range. Here an image showing the distribution of just one of the many scripts(here is the Arabic script distribution) which happen to be RTL writing, there are more scripts like Hebrew which also is RTL. Subscriptions are like renting a house, you won´t get attached to the area/product and can and will probably move on to other areas/prodcuts like you dear John are doing while abandoning the Adobe renting area.

indeed, remeshing for an even distribution of the geometry and then subdividing it.
