[Affinity Designer Windows Customer Beta - 1.9.0.780]

Hello!

Can I change Alt+MouseWheel to Alt+F13 / Alt+F14 shortcuts to use rotation with Wacom Intuos (finger gestures)?

[Scroll left/right with tablet]

Yes my OS is Windows. My tablet settings you can see below. It's similar to settings from your link v_kyr. But without "Edge swipes" checkbox and without "My Gestures" tab.

As I wrote, horizontall scrolling (two fingers) works in another applications so, tablet can do it. Affinity recognize three fingers touch. Moving canvas in any direcion works with View tool. But it's uncomfotable.

 

[Scroll left/right with tablet]

Hello!

I can't configure gestures. I can only swith it on/off. But in another applications (e.g. Internet browsers) scroll with two fingers horizontally works well. So, tablet can send suitable message. Could you look at this problem Mark? It would make my job easier. My tablet is cheap I know but I have got this one.
By the way, I bought Affinity Design and Photo and I love them. They are so excelent, I will not change them to another, even you not resolve my problems

[Scroll left/right with tablet]

Hello!

Is any way to scroll left/right with finger gestures (tablet Wacom Intuos Photo)? I can scroll up/down but left/right only in View Tool (H). But in this case scroll stop when cursor reaches the edge screen. Then I must move cursor in opposite direction and then again scroll a part of canvas.

[Zoom, rotate and move canvas without take fingers off tablet]

Hello!

I’m testing Autodesk Sketchbook with Wacom Intuos Photo Small tablet. I can zoom, rotate and move (in any direction) canvas with two fingers, without take fingers off tablet. It is very comfortable. Can you implement such feature in Affinity Designer / Photo (Windows)? I love Affinity software but I miss comfortable manipulation of canvas.

[Develop persona - most operations are very slow]

Hi!

 

I noticed that if I load RAW file (it opens in the Develop Persona), and then I go to the Photo Persona (without any changes), and then go to the Develop Persona again, performance is good, fast enough.

 

But, if I open RAW file in the Develop Persona, photo is in RGBA/32 colour format. Then, after go to the Photo Persona, and to the Develop Persona again, photo is in RGBA/16 colour format. So I loose part of colour information. Am I right?

[Develop persona - most operations are very slow]

Hi Slawek,

Welcome to Affinity Forums :)

Press and hold Ctrl while launching Affinity Photo then select all options and press Clear from the dialog that will open.Please note that this resets everything: preferences, custom brushes etc

Do you still have performance issues after performing the reset?

 

Hi!

 

Clearing didn't help.

 

I tested a few versions of Affinity Photo today.

 

1.5.0.35, 37, 38, 39 - Develop Persona is good speed (except in the case of the topic: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/27850-clarity-freeze-another-operations/).

 

1.5.0.42, 43, 45 - all operations in Develop Persona is slow.

 

I tested Develop Persona with DNG file from Pentax.

I noticed that if I load jpg and go to the Develop Persona all versions of Affinity Photo are good speed (except in the case of above topic).

P.S.

My system:

Windows 7 Professional,

CPU: i3-2120 3.3GHz,

RAM: 8GB,

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450.

[Develop persona - most operations are very slow]

Hi!

 

In Develop Persona most operations like Exposure, Brightness, Contrast etc are very slow. I have wait about 8 to 15 seconds to see effect. Squares of view appears one by one in this time.

I noticed this problem since version 1.5.0.42. Earlier I tested version 1.5.0.39 and it was good, much faster.

[Sliders delay when tablet use]

Hi Slawek

 

Thanks for raising theis. I shall look into it and pass it on to the development team. Just as some extra info can i ask which wacom tablet you are using?

 

Thanks

 

Hi Chris_K!

 

My tablet is "One by Wacom", model: CTL-471.

 

Thanks

[Sliders delay when tablet use]

Hi!

 

I have  problem with One by Wacom and sliders. When I use mouse, sliders react correct, but when I use tablet's pen, about one second delay appear. Look at the video.

In the Affinity Designer it is also the same problem.

[Where are the RAW develop settings stored ?]

Hi Samoreen,

Affinity Photo doesn't use sidecar files to store RAW development settings. Currently you can only export presets from a few of the panels in Develop Persona.

I believe non-destructive RAW development is planned for later in a future version but i still have to confirm this.

 

Hi!

 

It is correct that *.afphoto files are so big when it come from RAW format (more than 250MB in my case)?

[Clarity freeze another operations]

Hello!

 

In Develop Persona, if I set clarity above 0% another operations (exposure, blackpoint, brightness, highlights etc.) freeze on about 5 seconds (some times a few square of photo react earlier). You can see it better if you move several times any slider to the left, to the right.

P. S.

Thank you for Affinity Photo for Windows!!!

[One by Wacom - presure]

It's a good news :)

 

Thanks,

[One by Wacom - presure]

Hello!

When I drawing using "One by Wacom" tablet with very small presure lines are different. Ones of them are good, with small opacity, but others are bad, with full opacity. When I drawing with medium or big presure the opacity is correct, responds to pressure. In another software (e.g GIMP) the problem not appear.

 

Screens from Pixel Persona and Draw persona below.
