Hello Scott,
a tutorial or time lapse for showing how its done is planned. :)

Hi all :) ,
So far Affinity Photo is impressive and quite useful for an 3D Artist.
I decided to try my luck in making a heightmap/normalmap creation solution for it.
It obviously needs some more work but it already gives passable enough results at least in
the simple setup with Brush input vector support
the more advanced setup:
Shapes, Texts and Brush input are currently supported,
inward/outward is available.
there are two ways of adding shapes available;
one which is piling them over each other and the other is mixing their height.
You can therefore erase parts of brush work and shapes/Texts -vector data at the same time.
Heightmaps are already useful but the Normalmaps in the more advanced Setup have a strong discoloration.
next big steps are corrections and refining the output and creating macros for accelerating the workflow.

Hello Affinity team,
to further customize Affinity Photo, it would be great if the users where able to create their own Studio panels and to populate it with functions from different Studio panels.
for example; the user creates an empty custom studio panel where he
add parts from the macro/library panel, one or two Styles and so on.

Hello Affintiy Team and all :) ,
I am currently trying to make an unofficial Normalmap painting solution inside of Affintiy Photo and wanted to customize the UI a bit and the question which occurred was;
Is there a way to drag and drop parts from various studios like in my current need, the Profiles into a new custom Studio(and if possible a way to share/export that studio)?
Ps:
I already have found out that there is a customize toolbar and customize tools function
so it might be that I just overlooked something?

Since those PSD files are causing problems in more 2D/3D applications, the error(s) got forwarded to the toolbag developers.
hopefully they can fix it.

tried that too with other exported PSD files, that missing signature error inside of Affinity Photo occurs as soon as you try to export the PSDs with the use of the option "Multi-Layer PSD" in the Bake options,it happens regardless if you export more than one Layer or multiple ones.Currently opening that PSD in Photoshop and resaving as PSD file, makes it readable for Affinity Photo.Would be nice if the file could be read without having to resort to Photoshop to make it readable for Affinity Photo.two files with each only having one layer, exported with "Multi-Layer PSD" activated other deactivated.

Hello Affinity Team,
On windows 7, whenever the user tries to copy paste an image from microsoft paint into Affinity photo, the image is vertically flipped.

Hello Affinity Team,
could TGA(with Alpha channel support) please get added as an export option?
-
Hello Affinity Team :) ,
it seems that Affinity Photo is not able to load up the Alpha channel from TGA files.
example file is available here;

Hello nekto :)could you please try this out?1. clean the Thumbnail Cache with the Disk cleanup.
test again if the image problem occurs2. remove the microsoft visual C++ redistributable versions which where installed with AD.test again if the image and other program problems appear2.1. remove all microsoft visual C++ redistributable versions and then install them again but in order(use microsoft update for that)test again if the image and other program problems appear3. if those things didn´t help, try to do a repair install (some bought licences can survive that)
hope it helps

if you have a Intel cpu, it might be necessary to either disabling the intel apu(Intel HD Graphics) via the Biosor to go into the NVIDIA Control Panel and to assign the gpu to Affinity Designer (and all other programs which should use the GPU) -
oh my bad, clearly a false positiveplease excuse me, I must have set subconsciously the keyboard language to english since when its international,it is indeed not working even after resetting.

I had that issue too but there is an easy fix available; Reset your Keyboard Shortcuts. :)

Have you tried to load them while being in the Pixel persona?
The .abr issue feels almost the same like the one with the .afbrushes
https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/21608-importing-ad-brushes/
-
on my tests importing afbrushes worked even when they where made on a mac.
the smoke brush appears to be from this thread here? (2014)
https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/3811-free-custom-smoke-brush/
my guess is, it was made with a fairly old version and thus it is incompatible.
*Edit, it gives the same error but only when you are in the Vector Persona.
so the .afbrush in the above link is importing when you are in the Pixel Persona.Edit2: painting with those Smoke Brushes is impossible thou.
Edit3; the error which ColicDusty has, comes up even for the newer brushes.
whenever you try to load up an .afbrush which is meant for either the pixel or vector persona and you are in the wrong persona mode, the error pops up.
when you switch the persona to the right one, you can see that it got loaded up even after the error message. appeared.
The warning that there was an error loading up the Brushes could have its purpose as an Assistant message like; this brush only works in the vector/pixel persona.
when you switch the persona to the right one, you can see that it got loaded up even with the error message.
-
Resetting the Panel/UI Layout;View->Studio->Reset Studioyou would have to do that for the Vector Persona as for the Pixel Persona.

Hello Affinity Team sadly there is a high number of shortcuts which are not internationally compatible with the UK keyboard.
It would be good if,for ease of learning, the shortcuts where chosen to be internationally compatible.
UK-Keyboard
German keyboard
this is an ongoing keylist of incompatibilities with the german keyboard;
Size bigger Ctrl+> <- only works with ctrl+shift+>Size Smaller Ctrl+< <- doesn´t work at allSize Precice Bigger <-only works with ctrl+alt+shift+>Size Precise Smaller <-doesnt work at allSpacing tighten More Ctrl+Alt+Left <- seems to move to the beginning of textSpacing Loosen More Ctrl+Alt+right <- seems to move to the end of textAlignment Align Left Ctrl+{ <-doesn´t workAlignment Align Centre Alt+|<- doesnt workAlignment Align Right Ctrl+} <- doesn´t workAlignment Justify Left ctrl+alt+| <-doesn´t work -
Hi MEB,
thank you very much for the information. :)

Hi, just wondering, will .afbrushes be compatible between the mac and windows version?
-
I would like to give the windows beta a whirl and additionally buy it via paypal right away. (nice addition would be to be able to preorder Affinity Photo in advance...)

Hello G.M.1986,It should be possible as long as you export the uv mapin one of the following fileformats;PNG/TIFF/JPG/GIF/SVG/EPS.more information about the import export abilities of the Affinity programs can be gathered here;

As a potential buyer it sounds very much only like a wish (about hotkey customization) instead of an comprehensive in-debt review about the product.
Such a review which only 3 of 42 buyers found useful, wouldn´t sway me away from buying. ;)
