[Tablet Recommendation for Novice]

I also have an older version of the Huion 610 Pro, I love it. Still works very well, and the size is perfect.

 

The only thing to note, difference-wise from a Wacom Intuos, is that the Huion doesn't register stylus tilt. This isn't a problem for me as I've never drawn non-digitally using the side of a pencil, I'd just grab for a wide lead pencil or a wide brush, but if you naturally draw this way you'll likely prefer an Intuos.

I do tend to tilt the pencil when I draw.  What is a good Wacom Intuos model?

Thank you.  That is one I am looking at.  Looks nice and I am wondering how it compares to the Huion INSPIROY G10T Pen and Touch Wireless Graphic Drawing Tablet

 

I use an older version of the Huion H610 Pro and I'm very happy with it.  I'm not a professional user so my needs may be different from yours.  There have been other threads on this subject.  You might want to do a search for those other opinions.

The HUION 1060PRO+ looks nice as well

[Tablet Recommendation for Novice]

I am looking for advice on a new tablet to draw a cartoon and children's book.  I am a web designer but this will be my first attempt at designing on a tablet.  What do you all use and what can you recommend?  I want something good quality but not to crazy on price.  

 

Any help is appreciated.

[[AD] Layout Grid, hopefully compatible with constraints]

This is a really simple grid calculator but it works great.  I can do most of this now with Affinity Designer Grids except the outside margin.  Add Outside Margin and we can probably get most of it.

[Text not showing when importing PSD]

I opened a new ticket on this to keep it clean at https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/30104-text-not-showing-when-importing-psd-in-affinity-designer/?hl=%2Btext+%2Bbox

[Text not showing when importing PSD]

Has there been any progress on this issue?  All the PSD files that I exported from PNG files open with the text off-canvas.  Cant seem to find a fix.

[Designer - add 12 grids with margins within type area]

I was able to achieve this using guides at fixed pixel widths.  Not ideal but it worked.  You can get the idea in the attachment.

[Affinity Designer Public Beta (RC2) - 1.5.0.26 (Windows)]

We must be close to the final release.  Looking fantastic!

[Affinity Designer Public Beta - 1.5.0.18 (Windows)]

Can't wait to get the paid version of AD for Windows for I can drop Adobe.  The Betas are just fantastic.  Are we getting close?

[Affinity Designer Public Beta - 1.5.0.17 (Windows)]

I can't tell you how awesome this is Mark, Adam and the team.  I have been using the Windows beta for a few versions now and it is just fantastic.  Can't wait to buy the final release.  Almost done with AdoBLOW subscriptions once and for all!

[Is there any way to get Bootstrap grid lines?]

Fantastic. I can't wait to see it!

[Is there any way to get Bootstrap grid lines?]

Great ideas. That would be a great feature. I think we definitely need at a minimum outside gutter support.

[Is there any way to get Bootstrap grid lines?]

Is there a way to offset the grid by like 15px so it would act like an outside gutter? The gutter is always aligned to left 0 position it seems. Any way to adjust and get an outside gutter effect?

[Updating Beta Version]

Thanks so much. I was wondering how it worked but I have latest version I think already.

[Updating Beta Version]

Is there a way to update through AD or do I just download the update and install over it? Will I be notified of updates?

[Is there any way to get Bootstrap grid lines?]

Is there a way to do an outside margin or outside gutters? I have my grids setup but a few are fluid designs so I want to be like 1400 pixels wide to show some background. My grid is perfect at 1170 but I want like a 100 margin outside on each side.

[Is Affinity D for professional use?]

Thanks Jet. I made my first web mockup with the beta today. No crashes and worked great. Can't wait to see what else AD can do. For a beta it works pretty well. Of course I have not tried drawing with it yet.

[Is there any way to get Bootstrap grid lines?]

I am also looking for a way to add outside gutter or margin while the grid stays fixed.  For example, if I make a grid at 1170px width (70px spacing, 1 division, 30px gutter) I want to show like 15px of additional gutter or maybe a margin of 15 on each side making total width of the document 1200.  How can I do that?

[Is there any way to get Bootstrap grid lines?]

Is there any way to display Bootstrap grid lines in Affinity Designer?  I have been playing with the grid tool and attached is as close as I can get.  Is there a better way?

[Is Affinity D for professional use?]

I think switching to Affinity is a wise choice. Yes, the Windows version is still in beta, but it is still fine to use. In Mark's quote about it not being for production use, he is sending out a warning that there might be a glitch here and there, but you can still get around the program fine. None of the problems are too serious. So I would recommend it.

 

However, if you feel that Affinity doesn't suite your needs, there is also Serif DrawPlus which is exclusive to Windows and made by the same team that made Affinity. It's a bit pricey, but there is a free starter version to test out. DrawPlus can do a lot of things Affinity can do, plus more. There is also Xara Photo and Graphic Designer. It is made for both pixel and vector editing, and the pencil tool works very well. Both programs can be used for webs mockups.

 

Aside from those, Affinity, and Adobe, I don't feel that there are any other good graphic design software for Windows (Though I haven't tried Canvas X). I never liked CorelDraw or Inkscape. There is a free application, Krita, but it's a pixel based program, and not in my opinion good for graphic design, but I'm bringing it out there because a lot of people do like it.

Thanks so much.  Affinity looks fantastic.  

[Is Affinity D for professional use?]

To answer this part of your question, Designer would probably be a better choice for web mockups. It has the round corner tool for rounding panels or whatever, and making adjustments would be fewer clicks.

 

I really like AD for WIndows.  My only dilema at the moment is my Adobe subscriptions ends in 10 days.  I need a product to use before the release of AD is out since it is in beta and not recommended for production use.  ANy suggestions?

[Is Affinity D for professional use?]

Any idea when we can start using it for production use?  Like weeks, months, etc?  I have tested it a bit and I had no crashes.  What are the issues preventing using it at this point?  What major ones to consider?  I am desperately trying to get away from Adobe as my yearly subscription is up in about 10 days and I do not want to renew.

 

Also, is AD or AP better for web mockup designing?  I asked in another post as well that you can close if you answer.
