[Affinity Designer Public Beta - 1.5.0.11 (Windows)]

Unfortunately you would need to buy the software twice, as there is no way of knowing who has made a purchase on the Mac App Store. <Edit> This is discussed quite a lot more in the questions forum, particularly this thread </edit>

 

 

 

Thanks Biscuit, I'll get that logged and fixed.

Makes sense, but you can sell mac software outside of the app store, but that's your call.

I have a question as I'm sure we're close to Photo's beta and the commercial version of designer for windows.

I own both a Mac and PC but want to know if the licenses are cross platform?  Something similar to what Adobe's doing when it comes to licenses "don't go the subscription route though!", basically if you bought a license you can use it on your mac or pc.

If not, I'd buy both versions anyway well actually I have licenses on the mac side :p

Really enjoying the current build but there's one tool that literally makes no sense and that's the color picker tool...

I don't like how I have to hold down my mouse button then select a color, I should be able to just select the tool then select my color as this is very unintuitive....

 

Pretty much my only complaint so far :)

[Affinity Designer is not Affinity Photo]

I disagree. Because a good application works well when has a clear mission.

 

Do you want to draw, edit, apply effects (some good effects) an so on? AD

Do you want to create or edit a bitmap image? AF

Do you want to publish complex documents? AP

 

Do not try to catch all in one app. That is a wrong way. Because one app can not do all well. Imagine the User interface, the windows, and all the panes you can put in one app. And could we talk about updates of a monster app?

 

Indeed, you can go wrong with just an app that tries to do well in one area. Illustrator, for example is tremendously confusing. A lot of panels, so many panels that do a lot of things. Affinity Designer can do the same things faster and simpler than Illustrator. The routines and options are simpler and clever.

 

Is like eat food. You need spoon for soap. And a knife to cut bread. You can not eat soap with a knife... Er well, you can do, but the results are not practical and desirable.

 

I have been involved in DTP since 1983. Do you know about Common Ground, xRes, Canvas? One app that can do all sort of things usually do not work well in any area.

What's AF? I thought it was just AD or AP?

I think it would have been great if affinity designer and photo were one application, as this would bring in all the features you want in a graphic design and image manipulation software.

Thanks, found the tool earlier and this solved my problem.

[Actually drawing pixels without AA?]

I use AD on my Mac and just trying out the Windows beta version and everythings working like charm!

 

However, I felt like working on RPG sprites today and ran into a snag, that snag is how do you just draw simple pixels like in any other program?  It shouldn't be that complex, and I thought simply setting the size to 1px would solve that problem.

Am I missing a basic setting that i've overlooked? If so, let me know!

 

Thanks! ;)
