yup, this would be a very helpful feature to add! can someone officially say something about DXF/DWG support? is it still in the plans, when is it possible to implement, or should we expect it in the near future, etc., the last reply from MEB was a long time ago. -
+1 for the shortcuts to fill a selection with foreground/background colours.

Similar here with the Wacom (Intuos 5), but not even a warning sign pops when the pen reaches the surface. [ Offtopic: Could you try what I am describing in this thread regarding the brush size/hardness changing? ( https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/33131-wacom-intuos-problems-brush-sizehardness-setting-not-workingzooming/ ) I don't know, whether these problems are Wacom or Serif related (a driver issue maybe?), or is it just me, but I desperately need a solution. ] My Wacom driver is up to date, 6.3.19-6, if anyone would wonder.

Hi, ajd1770, Yes, I've tried activating pressure sensitivity, doesn't seem to alter this behaviour. I was wondering a checkbox where you can tell the program that you are using a tablet (in Cinema 4D, for instance, there is, and moving the sliders, panning etc. is slightly different) Thanks for the zooming shortcuts, but my problem is the inability to zoom without moving my hand away from the tablet. There is a reason why you can navigate in 3D applications with your mouse/tablet without having to release it, it makes you faster. In Photoshop this is consistent, I can navigate through my canvas having one hand on the keyboard, the other one on the mouse/tablet, in Affinity Photo I can't (or I couldn't find it), and it is quite frustrating having to always move back to the touchpad/keyboard (the first one is a lot more intuitive for my taste) in order to change brush settings, or zoom. Maybe it's just me, and others don't feel this way, but I would appreciate if the development would consider adding this feature to the program, it may seem silly, but would be a huge leap in productivity (for me at least). Regards, Balázs

Hi guys, first of all, happy new year to everyone! :) My problem is related to using a Wacom tablet with Affinity Photo (1.5.2. beta 2 right now). When I try to change the brush size as I would do with my touchpad, or mouse (pressing Ctrl+Option and sliding the cursor up-down or left-right) on my tablet with the pen, nothing happens. It's like the feature is waiting for a click to activate, but I can use the tablet otherwise perfectly fine (as far as I've seen). Is there an option in AP to check, that I am using a tablet device for input, or something? I may have overlooked that. ---------- My second issue is with zooming, in Photoshop a handy way to zoom in documents is by pressing Command/Option+Space (both works, but Cmd+Space interferes with Spotlight or Siri) and dragging the mouse, especially when using a tablet. Is there an equivalent feature in AP yet, if not, are you planning to add it? Thanks! Regards, Balázs

Some more contact shadow under the feet should help against the floating feel as well.

I was expecting it to be 16bit. Thanks, I'm looking for the next beta then!

I have no idea, maybe you should contact Graphisoft about the issue. But there is the import window: The TIFF is from Affinity (with Affinity layers enabled), I can place it without an issue: The file in Affinity Photo: After modification: The updated drawing within ArchiCAD: But this workflow doesn't work with both Affinity and Photoshop in the game - see the messed up TIFFs in each application. If Graphisoft could support PSD import, that would be a solution - better, support for Affinity files! : )
-
Right, I get your reasons - for my personal work, I have no problem using an Affinity-only workflow, but the people I'm working with still use Photoshop. I guess I have to convince them to move as well.:) To shed some light on, why I had started this thread: our main software for work is ArchiCAD, which doesn't support PSDs for the time being, a workaround was using TIFFs for layered documents - renders, textures, etc.

Hi Ben, I'm pretty sure I've uploaded the same file that is screenshot in the first post, but that one has layers in it - it is the original TIFF I've created with Photoshop.. I've uploaded another one, it has 2 layers, an image and a Material ID pass - the file is originated from Cinema 4D. Photoshop opens the TIFF without a problem, Affinity messes it up. Resaving the PSD as TIFF with Affinity layers: The above mentioned method is far from perfect though, my colleagues cannot open the TIFF with Afifnity layers in Photoshop, they only see a flattened image - so basically this workaround is useless for teamwork for now. : (
-
Further inspection on the topic: - single layered 32 bit TIFF opens as empty (transparent) image (saved from C4D as well) As a workaround, this works for any TIFF I've tested so far: - saving images as PSD - opening in Affinity Photo - exporting as TIFF with layers - deleting the original PSD and working with the saved TIFF instead In the long run I would appreciate if this issue could be solved. Edit: the original thread was started by 1.5 beta 5, this last post was written while using 1.5 beta 6 Edit2: Photoshop opens this TIFF as a flattened image, it only works for Affinity-only workflows sadly

Hi MEB, Thank you for help and fast response! I am exporting the TIFFs from Cinema 4D R17, which are 16bit linear color space renders.
-
Hi MEB, is there any news on the issue by any chance?

Hi MEB, I shared a file with you. Thanks!:)

Hey guys, This is my first post here, so firstly I would like to express my gratitude towards the hard work you've put in this great software, it's quite a relief to be able to move away from the giants. I would use AP for postproduction work for renderings, and up to this point I saved out my renders as layered TIFFs (I cannot change that, since my main working software would not eat any other layered file types, nor .psd, nor .afphoto). In 1.4.3 I wasn't able to open my previous TIFFs, because they were flattened (although PS saw the layers perfectly). In 1.5 beta 5 I finally can see the layers, but every pciture looks like this: This is the PS version: Is there a way to fix this, or is this a known issue, that awaits fixing? Regards, Balazs
