color-sensitive Denoise?
fde101 replied to Fritz_H's topic in Feedback for Affinity Photo V1 on Desktop
No, mostly just curious at this point - but definitely something I may check out later on. Thank you! -
color-sensitive Denoise?
fde101 replied to Fritz_H's topic in Feedback for Affinity Photo V1 on Desktop
I hadn't come across Noiseware Professional before. Another big noise reducer for photos is Neat Image, which does not appear to have this feature either, and the pro version is the same price as Noiseware Professional. Does Noiseware Professional generally work well within Affinity Photo (as a plugin)? Neat Image at least has a standalone version so that if the plugin support breaks in some version of Affinity Photo it could still be used separately; it doesn't look like Noiseware Professional offers that. -
Magic Wand or Select Similar tools?
fde101 replied to Eric Louw's topic in Feedback for Affinity Designer V1 on Desktop
This appears to be a possible duplicate of this existing (and very long) thread: -
If you go back and review the purpose of his request, it was to reduce the "wasted" blank space in the panels by combining them in such a way that reduces the redundant features and crams things closer together so that they do not occupy as much space on the screen. Placing the existing panels side by side only serves to emphasize the "wasted" space so I don't think this is an answer to the perceived problem he was presenting.

Canvas resize "offset"/"add"/...
fde101 replied to Kim Holst's topic in Feedback for Affinity Photo V1 on Desktop
You might be able to use expressions like "+=15" in the fields too but I don't have it in front of me to check right now. Many of the numeric fields in the Affinity products accept expressions like that. -
If I am working on something using swatches, most of the time I will set up my swatches at the beginning, then just about the only thing I would use the Color panel for would be to adjust the Tint of a selected spot or global color, so for everything else it would be wasting space. If I am working on something using the Color panel significantly, chances are I am not using swatches. If anything I would like to see the Tint option added to the Swatches panel. There is enough room that if the Opacity control were slid up a bit it could fit underneath and work the same way without making the panel any larger. At least for my way of working, I don't think any other changes are needed here, and I think the rest of the division between the two panels is ideal.

There were destructive modes available in the crop tool in the early 1.7 betas, but in 1.7.0.105 they were removed, with the comment "for now - will revisit":

Only when the target color falls precisely on a channel boundary. -
Adding brushes and assets to the Suite
fde101 replied to evtonic3's topic in Feedback for Affinity Designer V1 on Desktop
This has come up numerous times in other threads. My understanding is that this is not practical on the app store version on the Mac due to sandboxing restrictions. It is most likely being omitted from the suite due to the inconsistency its implementation in the other versions would cause. -
The Shadows/Highlights Filter has changed (poorly)
fde101 replied to ch22's topic in V1 Bugs found on macOS
Could just add "(legacy)" after the name of the adjustment in the menus? -
Hi @tidbit, welcome to the forums! I would actually like to extend the subdivision request to include an option to subdivide along a linear axis in addition to the mode you are suggesting which accounts for the shape of the path. In other words, one option would subdivide based on the flattened path length, as your example shows, while another would divide evenly along the horizontal (or vertical) axis, wherever those points happen to fall along the length of the path, and another would subdivide evenly based on a straight line drawn between the two end points of the path. I think all of those options could be useful at times.

copy between documents changes colours (b523)
fde101 replied to woefi's topic in [ARCHIVE] Publisher beta on macOS threads
Actually, it gets stranger than that. I just did this in Designer since I happened to have it open, but I suspect Publisher would be the same? I had a simple rectangle with a global color assigned to it. I copied it and pasted it into a new document that has a different color profile assigned. In the new document, if I select that rectangle, the Color panel shows the "Global Color 1" assigned to the rectangle - but there is no document palette in the document, and thus no global colors. Somehow the rectangle is keeping the assignment of the global color across the copy, even though the global color doesn't exist in the target document. Based on that, I am forced to agree that there is definitely a bug here somewhere. As to the global color itself not being copied over to the new document, I would consider that a missing feature. However, if the object remains assigned to a color that does not exist in the new document, that is definitely a bug.- 48 replies

fde101 replied to woefi's topic in [ARCHIVE] Publisher beta on macOS threads
EDIT: I stand corrected from what I previously posted in this space. A global color swatch in the Affinity designer does in fact retain its values if you convert the color space of the document, and you can see the objects using the swatch shift colors accordingly within the document. Interesting... I'm not sure if I like that as a default behavior, but it seems to be what is being requested here...- 48 replies

I'm trying to picture this - how would you fold a 5-page spread? That being said, the need to provide printed and electronic copies of such a document is probably the most significant reason to prioritize this feature that has been presented so far. That is one thing that would be complicated by the use of guides to lay this out.

I agree that a studio panel for this would be nice. Adding controls for this to one of the menus and allowing keyboard shortcuts to be assigned would be nice also - at least a shortcut to open the box (an equivalent to the current toolbar button) but preferably a few to set some of the more common wrap options also.

Affinity Publisher and opening PPP files
fde101 replied to Mist001's topic in Feedback for Affinity Publisher V1 on Desktop
You could continue using PagePlus for old projects and use Publisher for new ones. That is where a lot of others have ended up. -
Value Inputs UI quirks
fde101 replied to prophet's topic in Feedback for Affinity Publisher V1 on Desktop
Yes, in most places, just use the mouse wheel - even faster than the arrow buttons - though I think they disabled that for one or two specific studio panels? -

fde101 replied to woefi's topic in [ARCHIVE] Publisher beta on macOS threads
The Assign/Convert options are only for changing the color space of the document they are used in. I've never seen anything to suggest they would have any effect on copy/paste.- 48 replies

Connecting nodes (drawing path between nodes)
fde101 replied to ashf's topic in Feedback for Affinity Designer V1 on Desktop
not when using Join Curve, but as others have pointed out, that is not the scenario that they are looking for here... -
Connecting nodes (drawing path between nodes)
fde101 replied to ashf's topic in Feedback for Affinity Designer V1 on Desktop
so don't use Join Curve... use the pen tool and click on each of the two nodes you are trying to join.
