Sketch feature thingy? I don't see anything anywhere similar to a "Sketch Feature" in AP. Which feature are you referring to?

Google has just announced that their Google Nik Collection composed of seven Photoshop plug-ins is now free for everyone.

Currently Analog Efex Pro 2, Color Efex Pro 4, Silver Efex Pro 2 work with Affinity Photo. HDR Efex Pro 2 only works partially.

KipV,

I too much prefer the original icons. The icons give a visual message of what they do, especially the Publisher icon compared to the new version. Why does AFFINITY have to follow a trend? Most thing come round full circle and only dead fish swim with the current.
I hate to criticise as I am a great fan of AFFINITY and the way you guys interact with users.

Good to know.  One reason I ditched Adobe PS/PSE was due to updating my Mac iOS, PSE12 became unusable.  Adobe basically said tough, and I would have to buy PSE14.  Only had PSE12 <4 months :blink: !!!
 
I've only recently started using HDR techniques with my Canon 7D, so I'm looking forward to seeing what the new Affinity HDR persona can do!
 
Keep up the good work.

Hi, I'm Gregg. I am new to DrawPlus. I've looked  at it for a few years but always decided against it because it was Windows based. I've have always had Parallels installed on my iMac but thought using software more native to the Mac (a lot more efficient to use). I am retired and  dabble in art. My favorite software has been Sketchbook Pro and ArtRage. As for Vector programs for the Mac, they are limited. I have and used iDraw and Artboard. Both have their pluses and minus. So, a couple of days ago I decided to dip my toes in the water and bought DrawPlus 5 to see if I really like working with it on Parallels. I knew from previous experience that it was a really good program that fit in with what I like to do. I made my first entry in the DrawPlus forum and was told about DrawPlus (Beta) on the Mac. I've beta tested for a couple of CADD program and thought this would be fun. I'm looking forward to this program because the Mac needs a really good vector drawing program like DrawPlus.

Check out the sneak peek of the HDR and 360 image editing features coming to Affinity Photo 1.5!
 
Version 1.5 features announced today include:
 
• Advanced HDR merge producing full 32-bit linear colour space images • An entirely new workspace for tone mapping • Focus stacking to bring depth to multiple combined images • Batch processing for smoother, faster workflow • Macros to record and replay a set of commands • An all-new way to edit 360 degree images   Some much anticipated features to look forward too here, coming soon to Affinity Photo...  :)  

Hello!
 
We've got a new app coming out - for the latest generation Apple TV (Late 2015)!
 
It's a learning / teaching tool for users of Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer.
 
For now, it simply contains all our video tutorial content from the website / Vimeo. We'll of course be adding more focussed, appropriate content over time. We'll also be doing a better job of categorising the content and grouping it together.
 
If you have an Apple TV (Late 2015) and would like to beta test this new tool - please email tv@seriflabs.com and tell us your email address (the email must be associated with an active Apple ID) - we'll then add you to the TestFlight beta program and you should receive further installation instructions.
 
Thanks!
 
Andy.
