Affinity Designer on Chrome OS / Linux
IanSG replied to Niloy's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (Mac and Windows)
I can't see it happening - Chromebooks are minimally specced while graphics software is notoriously resource hungry. Working with graphics files stored online would be my idea of purgatory!- 8 replies

My U3A photography group has recently had a go at making collages. The clear concensus was that the free tools were much too restrictive and it was better to learn how to use tools like AP or PS. They have a steeper learning curve but the end results are in a different league! The best looking collage (imho) was done in AP! There are loads of videos online showing different techniques, but this one by Simon Foster is one of the better ones, even though it's not specifically dealing with collages.

Bundle Discounts, Special Offers?
IanSG replied to MCFC_4Heatons's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (Mac and Windows)
30% off everything. I thought I'd seen an end date of Dec 6th, but I can't find it now. <edit> The notification email includes the 6th Dec end date. -
Does affinity support a CLI?
IanSG replied to johnscott999's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (Mac and Windows)
Just to make life difficult, even if the Windows version supports a CLI, the MS Store sandbox probably prevents it working. -
RAW support in Affinity is provided by LibRaw, a 3rd party product. The current version doesn't support the R5 but it's "expected" in the next snapshot, which would normaly be released sometime in Dec-Feb.

Graphics Card Use
IanSG replied to Rufusbadger's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (Mac and Windows)
I've just found this thread, which contains a lot of benchmark results. @James Ritson's posts are particularly interesting because it's clear that the GPU results can be dependent on the CPU. It'll be interesting to see how the benchmarks correlate with real world performance! -

That's good to know - thank you! -
Graphics Card Use
IanSG replied to Rufusbadger's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (Mac and Windows)
I'm in the same boat! The number of factors that might affect the performance of AP is bewildering (for me) - do Serif have any ideas yet about which graphics card features are the most critical? Obviously it's early days, but are there any plans to collect benchmark data for analysis? -
Where is the perspective tool in Photo?
IanSG replied to SamSteele's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (Mac and Windows)
Yes, but note there are two icons for mesh warp - one with and one without perspective correction. Perspective only offers one option - perspective on its own. -
afphoto extension
IanSG replied to Chris.s's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (Mac and Windows)
You use File / Export to create jpg etc. -
Open affinity email photos
IanSG replied to gar722's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (Mac and Windows)
Are you sending people the .afphoto files rather than .jpg or whatever? -
Transfer of the license key
IanSG replied to kefesoj's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (Mac and Windows)
No - each platform (Windows, Mac & iPad) requires its own licence. -
Blur tool doesn't seem to DO anything?
IanSG replied to bengedlow's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (Mac and Windows)
Try applying a blur to the entire image, use a large brush to erase most of it and then a small one to get the effect you want. -
edit Astro photography
IanSG replied to joim's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (Mac and Windows)
Try this one. You'll probably have more luck looking for "Affinity Photo" than just "Affinity". There are so many LR / PS tutorials that a lot of them adopt a monkey see monkey do approach while AP tutorials tend to need a deeper level of understanding. -
I'll have you know my process flow diagrams were exceptionaly fragrant, Sir! It's been quite a few year, but I was very happy with Smartdraw. This was when Visio was the goto app, and having something that would maintain the structure and links while things were being added and deleted was little short of miraculous!

AD Beta version
IanSG replied to jackamus's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (Mac and Windows)
I'm not sure what you mean by "cosmetic" - any change to the way the software behaves is functional. Even if the intended change is limited to a single bug fix there's still the possibility of introducing new bugs. What individual beta testers get out of it is up to them - I'm a hobbyist, so my reasons for beta testing will be very different from a commercial user whose livelihood might be impacted. How did you reach that conclusion? -
EOS R5 RAW SUPPORT
IanSG replied to jean denis's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (Mac and Windows)
"Not supported" isn't the same as "doesn't work" - the R5 .cr3 files I've tried have worked in AP.
