  1. I did check and the Info tab is unticked in my setup. I forgot to mention I am on MacBook Pro mid 2015, OSX 10.13.6 (High Sierra), 2.5 GHz Intel Core i7, 16GB Ram
  2. I noticed it right after the latest update but have been too busy to post until now. Is anyone else experiencing sluggish with the desktop app? For me, it's been simple stuff. I bring in a pic from my camera and try to use things like the blemish removal tool, it is very sluggish until I resize it to something like 1000 X whatever. Also, when I add a Levels adjustment layer, the histogram does not always show, but the sliders work. And, in the layers menu the icon is sometimes grayed out. Any one experiencing this?
  3. Hi, I was wondering how, if any one is, animating their creations in AD? In other words, what software are you importing it into to animate? Thanks
  4. Hi all, I am trying to have my images open in (numerical) order. What I am doing is going to a folder, selecting all the images, right-clicking and Open With > Affinity Photo. Normally in PS they are arranged in numerical order, yet, I can't seem to get that to happen in Affinity Photo. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks
  5. Thank you both for the replies. toltec - yes that did it. I think I need to explore the preferences more. Thanks again. carl123 - I didn't think of that and you are right. When I zoom out and the image isn't "Zoom to fit" it does not move at all. A bit annoying at first but it now makes total sense. Thanks again.
  6. I just cancelled my CC subscription this morning and bought AP. Really enjoying it so far and a lot of the same shortcuts has made it very nice. Couple of questions though: 1. When I import an image to work on, it is always locked. Is there a way to import it and have it be unlocked? 2. After I unlock the image to rotate it, I am using the on-screem handle. It works fine except when I manipulate the handle and pause at all, the image starts to move down. Then I have to press Cmd+0 to center it again. Has anyone experienced this "moving down" behavior when the rotation handle is held (after manipulation)? Thanks in advance
  7. Has anyone seen this? It looks like Astute Graphics wants their great plugins in other packages. I vote "yes!" https://astutegraphics.com/tech/?utm_source=Complete&utm_campaign=46e6b516d3-Astute_Graphics_Technology_2017_11_08&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_02575c7f68-46e6b516d3-50570493&mc_cid=46e6b516d3&mc_eid=0c73677bed
  8. I would love to see: 1. Live Paint feature 2. Shape Builder In saying that, I can only imagine how hard it is to implement and code those 2 features. I can dream I took a lot of time to create these tool icons, feel free to use them (lol)
  9. Well you could always use Inkscape (free) to image trace and then bring it in to Affinity Designer
  10. I have listened and watched probably way to many articles and videos about this and I am a little confused. I know that it can be situation-dependent, but in general, assuming the client does not want a native AI file, what format are people using for export say for a logo, movie poster, business card, etc... (basically for print)? I saw a video where one guy only used bitmaps, the other PDFs, another pngs...so confusing for someone like me with no formal graphics education. Thanks
  11. Hi, I was creating a (bird) wing for a logo (following AI youtube tutorial) and the process is, first, created one part of wing, duplicate it and rotate it slightly. The repeat process to make a fan-like wing. After that. I selected everything and used the "Divide" function. Now, my thought was I could select the segments and color them the way I wanted. All the segments of one color I would "Unite". The problem is that these lines appear between the shapes. I anticipated this might happen so before doing any operations I filled each wing segment and removed the stroke so each shape was just a "fill". Yet I still have the problem of these lines showing up. My solution (to eliminate these lines) was just to create each (color) segment of the wing individually, which is the last picture. My question is, in the AI tutorial the person used the Shape Builder tool to unite certain areas and got no lines. Is there a way to do this in AD without the lines? How would others with more design experience create this? Symbols?
  12. Thank you for the clarification. It seems I need to brush up on some things and understand why certain things happen they way they do. Your information will help me greatly. Thanks again!
  13. I used the File > Export option. I did not use the "export persona". Should that matter? The options are the same in both. I noticed the both your exports are the small size. Interesting... I can't seem to make sense of this. Perhaps it's the Beta? Or me? lol
  14. I was exporting at 300 dpi. When I changed to something lower, 144, or even 72, the render was larger. Seems like a bug in the beta. I have attached the AD Beta file and render. Dude_v01_Beta.afdesign Dude_v01_Beta_300dpi.pdf Dude_v01_Beta_72dpi.pdf
