I call it a bullshit that they don't know who bought v1 on App Store, absolutely ridiculous in todays times when everything is in database. Were there's a will there's a way.

I said I don't mind paying but we v1 should have been treated a bit better

I know, unsignificant bull.. updates

Well then it will be funny as hell when they introduce some upgrades you want and charge you all for it again, after all it is more then likely in this collapse times, I wonder how many charges ahead will you give up defending the seller

Look I see you are trying to be reasonable and I get it, it's OK product as v1 but there should be at least some incentive to make feel good for the v1 early adopters, lets call it like that. It just not seem right to pay a full price, so I won't. As I said all the v1 products LACK pretty much BASIC FUNCTIONALLITY which some of it is being sold in v2 as a separate NEW product. This is by design, they knew that Adobe had no choice but to introduce a subscription model as there is only so much you can improve upon, but this is just it, it is only a photo and vector app plus this publisher thingy, there isn't much to push into it so they intentionally kept the real updates until v2 to charge the whole amount again, I would be fine even with some tiny incentive but no full amount! so NO I can live with v1.

That's most of you and that's how I feel about it so accept it as it is

I'm a v1 designer and photo user for few years and what they are doing with v2 is basically outraging their customer base, we're here because adobe was bad but it seems affinity is getting shitty too, not only there weren't real useful updates in v1 and now you want us to pay the same as the new commers?... there was always a lack of basic functionality in your product which was fine at the price, but if we put in more money in for a real fundamental stuff it almost will make it not worth it as it will still be lacking a lot in comparison to competition! I'M NOT BUYING IT

sadly I don't think it's done yet 😕

That's exactly the same issue, unfortunately no solution, it seems that Affinity is a bit handicapped in this matter

I rendered an image in 3D software. It has an Alpha Channel that masks out the background. It is saved as a TIFF file. Background is a texture. When I open it in Affinity the background is totally transparent. When I open it in PS I can see the background and the alpha channel is just there on the list ready to use if I need to. (this is what I want) How can I open this file in Affinity and still see the background? If I untick the Document> Transparent Background, it is not showing the original background just a white color.

I'll try to explain what I mean, when I move the whole object (not in the node mode) I expect it to snap by one of it's closest vertexes to another of the other object's vertex. But then as aammppa said in the node it snaps.

Will you add this function?

You've nailed it myclay, this should do until affinity implements this feature into photo. Thanks so much

I know what you are talking about, this is to make a separate file with gray scale alpha not what I want. I'll show you on example I found on google, look below, this is from Photoshop, in there it is possible to have normal RGB channels plus ALPHA which can contain any black and white shape and when you save that file it is not transparent you still see the background like normal plus you have the alpha to be used in other apps like Fusion or 3dsmax or whatever. In affinity when I do mask it creates composite alpha but then everything black on alpha gets transparent in the file and there is no way to use color channels as normal texture and separately alpha as cutout for other purpose.

Thanks, nice tutorial it doesn't solve my problem abut still quite useful

I couldn't figure out what you proposed to do, I tried as best I could follow but it seems not to do what I need it to do. Basically I need a custom black and white alpha channel within the image, or any image for that matter, alpha channel must be able to represent any shape and not only the automatic cutout done by Affinity's masking feature. I need this for other programs, 3D programs, where it is very useful feature, basically essential. In Photoshop it is allowed to draw on alpha, to paste on alpha, it is like any other layer, is this really not available in Affinity?

I know that, but the question is how do I lets say have a map and in alpha a continent outline without removing through transparency the water, in Photoshop it was easy you could dump into alpha whatever you wanted in affinity alpha is automatic so to say I couldn't find a way to be able to manualy insert in shape there

Look at the layer and channel panels on the attached image for details, but basically when I export this image it always exports a combined alpha of all layers and I want the alpha of Sylvester only to be exported, how do I do it in Affinity?

Please add the bright color theme as a choice across the whole program and not only some background (meaning leaving the bars dark) some light grey shades would be welcomed, as nice as dark nearly black looks it is a real pain to work with when you suffer from LASIK side effects and your eyes can't focus on dark objects so well... Very important, we have a 21st century now and super tiny bars, menus and so on on 2560x1600 or even better on 4k monitors are just impossible for comfortable work. I know there is option to scale the whole windows but this is the worst scenario as it messes up everything else, many devs still refuse to acknowledge the need for larger interface and scaling whole windows by 200% on 1600p is not cutting maybe on 4k is sort of ok anything in between 100 and 200% is blurred and ugly. So again please add a scaling option something like 130 - 150% maybe would do it or if you can do it some smooth % size slider. Thanks
