And for many others. BMP is about the simplest image format in existence, just a header followed by essentially raw pixel data. It is not perfect, but so simple it has been the default format of a lot of software for decades.

While I can’t speak for that foundry, as a font designer myself, I am not going to waste my time producing every static combination of my fonts possible, when I can place it all in a single font per typeface. You know, if your font contains five variations in each of just five characters, you would have to produce 25 static fonts with corresponding kerning in each (or potentially put all the variants into one extra font with non-standard encoding and no kerning). And if you have more, the number of possible static fonts grows very quickly.
It is not the job of every single font designer or font foundry to produce static versions. It is the job of software like the Affinity Designer, Publish, and Photo to implement (or not if they don’t know how, or don’t care to) the standard.

What extra cost? BMP is a very simple format, much simpler than JPG, PNG, TIFF, and others that are supported. It is just a simple header followed by raw data. Any junior programmer can whip up the code in no time. That is why it is supported by just about all graphics software.

Very nice.

Engines vector artwork in Affinity Designer.

Custom brushes + overlay

A common saying is: "the early bird catches the worm". - Well in IT it's more like: "the early adopter catches the bug".

55 years ago . . . Disney released "Herbie" in 1968, which is still one of the most successful live-action movie till todate. This Cartoon was created with Affinity Designer a an homage to Herbie

Very nice, thanks! And a happy New Year to you, too.

When you see quite dilapidated and rusty things while walking between forest and meadows. And if you happen to have in such moments your little old Nikon 1 cam with you.

If you could, you would win the Nobel prize.

Marbelous!

Using custom brushes.

How would the software (or the user) decide which was the inside or the outside of an open path?
For example, take a single straight vertical line drawn from bottom to top; is the inside to the right or the left of the line?

Hi Zachary and welcome to the forum.
Re-saving your v1 files (either as v1 or v2) won't make them more stable. You should make backup copies of the last v1 version of your file if you may want to open them again in v1. You can do this from your Windows desktop. I recommend making a backup copy of all of your v1 files.
You don't have to use Save As to re-save a v1 file from v2, it's just recommended to avoid customers unknowingly saving over their only v1 copy of a file. But if you've already made a backup then go ahead and use Save as you normally would.
You can create desktop shortcuts for the v2 apps by following the instructions in this FAQ.
 

I am puzzled. How does this hairline translate to SVG? https://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/painting.html#StrokeProperties only specifies a numeric value for stroke-width, with the default value of 1. So what stroke-width does Corel set for the hairline in SVG?

Why are you posting it on Instagram, which is for members only, instead of just uploading it right here?

Would love love love to be able to make custom vector brushes that are actually vector.   You know, where we can expand stroke and it will expand it to the outer edges.  Made some cool brushes and it hurts soooo bad to have to run it through another program to turn those into vector lines again, especially as I made them out of vectors in the first place.  

Is this on the V2 wishlist? Is this (better yet) in the works?
...Is this something that exists that I just dont know about?!?!
