kat reacted to loukash in How to get rid of AP Beta starting when opening an AP file?
Do you still see it in the Dock under Recent apps? Cmd-click its icon to reveal it.

delete the beta, it's really of no use nowadays
or: select one of those afphoto docs in Finder > cmd-i = Finder Info window > Open with… > Change All -
kat reacted to kaffeeundsalz in Anybody using Affinity v2 with Mac OS 10.14.6
You won't find anybody using Affinity v2 with macOS 10.14.6 because the software simply doesn't run on this system. The Affinity website prominently lists the supported operating systems on the Tech Spec pages. macOS 10.14 Mojave is not in the list so it will not work.

Just bought v2 but I'm on 10.14.6. How do I get a refund. So sad.

kat reacted to Geminitiger in buy affinity v2 in app store or in Affinity Store?
It is, contact Affinity as you are entitled to a refund particularly as you only just purchased.

What I would probably recommend is: Download them from the Affinity Store. Try them for a month and see if you like how they work. If so, then purchase. Note that you can purchase separately from the downloading, and use in Trial mode for a month.

That's odd. But probably not worth trying to figure out at this point.

There is no upgrade from V1, @kat. Everyone gets the same price for this new version.
I think it's better for Serif if you buy from them. For you, I'm not sure which is best. From the posts here in the forums it seems like some users are having problems using the Universal Licenses they purchased from the Mac App Store. I'm sure they will be resolved shortly, but at the moment using a Universal License purchased from Serif might be easier (and avoid some of the reported problems).
On the other hand, it means you will need to download/install the apps yourself, rather than letting the App Store handle that for you.
On yet another hand, if the Universal Licenses work correctly, you should be able to purchase and download from the Affinity Store now, and later change over to using the Mac App Store version without added cost, as the license would cover all 3 apps from any store.

kat reacted to R C-R in right click b red, green or blue channel doesn't work
Is there some reason you do not want to enable the Secondary click in System Preferences, or is it that that does not work for you?
Also, what device are you using (tablet, mouse, whatever) to do the right-click with?

kat reacted to R C-R in AP brush stroke skipsb
What brush is it? Is it one you have purchased, one of the standard ones, or what?

kat reacted to MEB in Spare channel right click not working properly
Hi PeterB,
Enabling the Secondary click in the System Preferences fixes the issue as you already discovered. I believe we already have this logged - i'm checking/confirming if that's the case and will fill a bug report if not. Unfortunately I'm not aware of any other way to make it work reliably without enabling the secondary click in System Preferences (or clicking the exact spot(s) where it works: there's actually another one almost near the trash icon on the right).
Thanks for your feedback/report.

kat got a reaction from Jakob32 in history portraits & caricatures
I do hundreds of the history portraits, first in AP then imported into AD where I use half a dozen export sizes.
I used the paint mixer brush for Rodin, the rest mostly regular brush.
I really wish the paint mixer brush worked better. I do have my wacom table mixer brush set for C & L. But the mixer brush is just not as good as painter or photoshop, which I've mostly given up for Affinity Photo. I do have hope that it will get better in future versions

kat reacted to thomaso in loud beep using bushes, dropper
I never noticed a beep when switching tools ( @kat, do you get it with click only or with keyboard shortcut, too?) – but I get the typical macOS error beep + the according white screen flash whenever I click the quality slider of the PDF export JPG compression rate. Not occasionally only and not when opening the slider but with every single click on the slider, reproducable any time. Just useless and annoying.

kat reacted to R C-R in loud beep using bushes, dropper
There is almost no chance that it could be anything else.

kat reacted to Old Bruce in loud beep using bushes, dropper
How are you changing between tools, are you clicking with the pen on the icons in the tool palette or are you using keyboard shortcuts? This is most likely a 'system beep' that is telling you that a keypress or some mouse (pen) click is not valid. Another cause is that you may have a dialog box open somewhere which needs attention.

kat reacted to R C-R in can't import my brushes into AP
By "can" do you mean they (who?) could but have not assigned these icons to *.afbrushes files, or something else?
Even if Affinity did that for the brush sets sold through their store, what about brushes that come from other sources like via the resources forum or your own Affinity_Toobs one?
There has to be something in the *.afbrushes file itself that lets the Affinity app know which kind it is -- otherwise the installed message could indicate which kind it was or know where to store it, but although I have in the past asked the staff what that might be, they have not been willing or able to say what it might be.
That means the only way for users to know for sure is to import the file & see what the message says, but that is not at all user friendly!

kat reacted to firstdefence in can't import my brushes into AP
Other than renaming the file to indicate it's app affiliation such as "AD Draw Persona Brushes - Image Brushes" or Affinity can use the Brush Tool icons for the different brushes.
As for converting to pixel brushes, you have to consider an Affinity pixel image brush has a texture that is rigid, you cannot define start and end caps and subsequently a middle.
Because image brushes in their pixel versions do not follow curves i.e. they are not bendy, they act more like stamps, instead of fluid brush strokes.
-
kat reacted to R C-R in can't import my brushes into AP
I do not know of any way of telling what kind of brushes they are from just looking at the file, nor of any way to convert them to pixel brushes that AP can use.
-
kat reacted to NotMyFault in can't import my brushes into AP
These are Designer vector brushes. You can't see them in Photo, or Designer Pixel persona. You need to import in Designer, and activate Designer Persona.
-
kat reacted to R C-R in can't import my brushes into AP
Since they can't be used, AP should not permit importing Designer "vector" brushes, but annoyingly it does. One consequence of this is the vector_brushes.propcol file in AP's Application Support folder can get bloated with lots of useless MB's of data.

kat reacted to v_kyr in Anybody tried PureRef
Not myself, but it's recommended by people from the german media informatics ...
PureRef | Bilder organisieren Tool (only in german the video, but you will visually see where and why it shines for graphics artists)
The video tells ...
Note however, that most things in that PureRef have to be done with keyboard shortcuts (see here on bottom the default keybindings).
