GRH was right. I, too, have successfully installed the new Beta.

I have the same problem (Win10). Installation of previous beta versions was never a problem before.

You guys at Serif really are amazing! Thanks for all your hard work!

Little more than a week ago I introduced a collegue to Affinity Designer and Photo. When he saw it presented on the Affinity website - and noticed the price - he exclaimed a loud 'Wow!' and immediately placed an order. The next day he proudly presented an intricate logo for his wife's association, made in Designer. I share his awe and want to express my gratitude for you people at Serif - programmers et al - for your hard work, willingness to listen and to continually seek to perfect already impressive software. I know of NO other software company that rivals you! A bit off-topic, perhaps...

I have just dug my old faithful Epson Perfection 3170 Photo scanner out for my brother to use with Windows 10. The Epson support site does indeed offer a driver and the software for Windows 10 and even the Win10 "Scan" software will produce a file. I can live with the extra step instead of the old Twain support, even if it was nice to scan directly from the graphics software..

Excellent! Thanks for your hard work!

I am happy to see that there is a new version 1.6.1 for download for both Designer and Photo (Windows). Where do I find the release notes?

Hi Dawid, You have produced an excellent overview of Designer. I agree that the text is the part that takes the most time to prepare, once your priorities are in place. In fact, I would consider your text to be ideal for the speak/voice-over of a video showing each principle as you mention it. In my experience a lot of people find it hard work to read lengthy texts (even with copious amounts of illustrations), however well they are presented. They prefer a video explaining and showing. For the ideal solution it should be interactive, but that is a whole new project in itself, I know. Great work! Nils

Ofek, could it be that the segment has an unintentional stroke?

Hi Alfred Thanks for showing! The dashed circle is a great example of how to use Designer's many great features.

Tab. So easy - and so easy to hit by mistake :D

Could you cheat and make the last, tapering, part separate, then join the two parts? I just tried: 1. Create the line, choose general stroke thickness. 2. Go to Node tool, choose or insert a node where the taper should start. 3. "Break curve" and apply Pressure to the stroke shown with nodes. 4. Join - or adjust - the two parts of the signature.

Thanks. This time it was not my feeble mind... :D

I would use Power Duplicate (Ctrl+J), gradually moving the copy and decreasing opacity.

I much prefer this forum to several, each requiring registration and - more - apps. Nice suggestion, but not for me. B)
