Possible web bug. When I launched AD this morning, I got the "there is a new version available" dialog, but clicking the "download" button downloaded the new version of AP instead of AD. Don't quote me on it. I downloaded the update from the site and installed, so I can't duplicate it

Two other hints. 1. The Humble Bundle "How to install this" page says you must install AfterShot before you install this. You don't. 2. In the opening dialog box that tries to sell you more brushes, scroll down to the bottom of the list and there's a free one.

Terrific.Thanks for trying it out!

Over on humblebundle.com this week, they've got a couple of interesting software deals. One of them is "Corel Photo Brush - ParticleShop", which looks quite impressive. http://www.painterartist.com/en/product/particleshop/ The tech specs say that it'll interact with. . . Adobe Photoshop CS5, CS6, or CC 2014+ Adobe Photoshop Lightroom® CS5, CS6, or CC 2014+ Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 and 14 CorelDRAW® Graphics Suite X6+ CorelDRAW® Technical Suite X7+ Corel® PaintShop® Pro X6+ Corel® AfterShot 3 and Corel AfterShot Pro 3** That's a pretty big list, so I assume it's just a standard Photoshop plugin. Anyone have any experience using this gizmo with AP? It's currently bundled with a bunch of other stuff for nine bucks, so I'm not gonna be too broken up if it doesn't work. Just wondering if anyone's ever tried it.

Bought it this morning. One problem I was having on the website, though. I'm in Texas, but the "buy" page was convinced that I'm in Canada and gave me the price as CA$54. Paypal properly converted the price when I checked out ($40 US), but it might give people pause that the product seems more expensive than it is :)

You don't even need a document open for this. . . 1. Go to the "Brushes" tab on the right-hand panel 2. Select "DAUB Bristles" from the drop-down 3. Double-click the first brush in the list. You'll get the "Brush - Editing" dialog 4. Click the "Texture" tab. You will see two brush nozzles. 5. Press "remove" twice to remove the brush nozzles. Affinity Photo crashes on this sequence. Works (or doesn't work) reliably.

Ahh, cool. Thanks.

This one seems kinda obvious, but it might not have been logged yet. 1. Open a document 2. Tap "Z" to open the zoom tool. 3. Note the text at the bottom that says "DRAG up to zoom in DRAG down to zoom out" 4. Say to yourself, "wait, isn't it left to zoom out and right to zoom in?" Either that or you changed the zoom functionality :)

I had some pretty significant slowdown when I was trying to export the arrows from the attached file. . . 1. Load the file 2. Go to the export persona 3. In the layers panel, select all the layers with blue arrows 4. Press "create slice" Note that the slicer does a pretty good job, but a few of the multi-piece arrows are broken into multiple slices. I then went in to adjust those slices so that the multi-piece arrows each got their own slice. Doing this operation became almost unusably slow after a couple of tries. Windows 10 64-bit. Affinity beta 1.5.07 130_Vector_Arrows.eps

Steps to reproduce. I'm using AD 1.05.06 on 64-bit Windows 10. 1. In a new document, place any old SVG file using file/place 2. Double-click the SVG you placed, you will get a second window to edit the object with <embedded> in the titlebar 3. Make a change to the embedded object. Change its color or add some shapes to it. 4. Click the "x" in the corner to close the embedded editor. 5. It will ask you if you want to save your changes. Click "no" to discard the changes 6. Note that even though you said don't save the changes, the changes are saved and shown in the editor

Yeah, Windows.

Got a crash upon starting this morning. When I restarted, I got a request to send the log file to Serif. When I accepted, I got a message akin to: Log File invalid. Could not send. Yes No While I understand if it can't send the log file, "Yes" and "No" aren't really valid responses to this. Best I could tell, "Yes" attempted to send the log file again, and "No" abandoned the attempt. Maybe a "Try to send again?" question would help. Anyway, thanks. It's a very impressive piece of software.
