That's it for today now...If I can figure out how to post the brush, I'll do so in resources..
Coming along nicely, no ?

I can imagine that it is complex but, could you look into a way to import PS styles  and actions in Designer/Photo for future releases.
I am certain that I am not the only one who would appreciate it.
Thank you

I've recently published two posts with free resources. And now I started third resource with free icons - webiconio. Many of these items were created in Affinity products. Affinity products are great. It's time to give celebrate Affinity, so I decided to create a fourth project - Affinitio. If you have ideas I will be glad for them.
Dipixio - free isolated photos
Downbg - free backgrounds
Webiconio - free icons
Affinitio - free resources for Affinity products (templates, styles, assets, etc.)

Here are some fancy metallic gradients I put together.

ouch !
It seems my iPad is no longer supporting the app...
I followed your advise for a refund of my money on the app store....

Eugene has done a fine job, but shouldn't Publisher have a built in function for inserting rudimentary calendars, like Page Plus does??

Someone suggested I put this here - posted in the Affinity Publisher Forum - 
 
See the link above for additional comments
 
Post from link is copy and pasted below: 
 
I'm going to use a Calendar as a way of showing a few useful features I found out - and some suggestions.

Firstly, dragging out a table is great! Select the Table icon in the tool bar, select the Snapping tool to get it to snap to the margins, and simply Drag Out the table - you will see it gives dimensions - rows and column counts too! Pretty cool!

There are only a few modifier keys available. A modifier key is when you are using the mouse to move/alter something and press a key on the keyboard to get it to behave a different way.
Shift = constrains proportions CMD = sizes from the centre point where you clicked on the screen What I think is missing is a modifier key to allow the amount of rows and columns - simple arrow keys could add and remove rows and columns would be super useful!
 
 

For this calendar - I only want the First 3 rows to appear. Month - Days - Dates
I draw out the table and let go of the mouse and low and behold - I have 7 (that was lucky) columns and 3 rows, as I only dragged down that far.
 
The added feature that's pretty cool!
With the Table tool still selected - you can drag down the table from the tab as indicated. Or similarly - on the right hand side, grab the tab and drag to add more columns!
You can slide them up and down or left and rigth until you have the desired amount of columns or rows.
 
However, once you have made your decision - you cannot remove the rows/columns by dragging them back up. I presume this is to prevent deleting information accidentally, however, if the cells are empty I don't see why this can't be done 
 
If you want to remove the column/row you can select it and right click and choose Delete Row
However if you have more than one row/column selected you cannot choose to Delete Rows!
 No option to Delete Rows 
 

To delete more than one Row/Column you have to use the Table menu and choose "Delete Rows" or "Delete Columns"
 

Onto the calendar!

Select the top row and right click and choose Merge Cells
 
 

View>Studio>Table (I believe this menu and sub menus are subject to change)
 

Select your table and add some "Insets" so the text doesn't butt up against the cell wall - this is optional and you can adjust to how you like. 
Very important to ensure you're on the CELLS portion - there is an option for the FRAME - which is above in the screenshot of the Table Panel, this is relating to the Frame the table sits in and not the Table Properties.
That's a bit confusing becuase you'd expect the Table options to the forefront of the options, however, not a major issue! 
 
 

In fact it's all optional - I'm leaving mine plain because I want to show another feature.
Insert the Month top row - days on the 2nd row - and leave the 3rd row blank.
Select the entire 3rd row and go to View>Studio>Paragraph
 
Expand the Bullets and Numbering List! 
 


Choose 1. 2. 3. 4.
 
Change the text section to read as. 
 


Note - when you edit this panel option - you need to hit Return - this shouldn't be the case - if you don't hit return your changes won't be implemented. 

Your table should now look like this!
 
 

Grab the TAB as shown before - to expand the table to add more rows. 
 
January 2019 starts on a Tuesday (any calendar will tell you that 
 )

Cool feature! You can select cells noncontiguous - that means they don't have to be beside each other. 

To do this - select the A3 cell - then let go of the mouse to leave it highlighted. Press the CMD key (possibly CTRL on PC) which is the "modifier key" then select the remaining cells. 

From the List Type in the Paragraph Panel - you can then set this to NO LIST.
 
 



Your table will now automatically renumber to ensure all the days have the correct number assigned.
 
    Drag the handle down on the side of the table - to make it fill the page! 
   



Select the numbered rows - right click and select distribute rows evenly


   



Duplicate your page


   



Rename Month to February 

January ended on a Thursday - so February starts on a Friday and February 2018 has 28 days. 
   





Select the first 3 days - and set the Paragraph Numbering to No List
   



Voila! February is Done! 
   





Add your icons! 
   

Now you can repeat the steps to make the remaining calendar months!

Here's the link to a step by step I took, when making My latest Holy Planet. A combination of a tiny planet ,and an inverted planet.
I hope you like it. Bear with me, this is my first tutorial....

Today Tony has edited the original post and added this to the statement.

It's kind of baffling how indignant, angry, and impatient some are with this. Personally, I'd rather they take their time and get it right. The iPad Photo launch was pretty bumpy to be honest... so I'm betting they're making sure this thing is fairly rock solid before anyone even gets to play with it. 

I'm cool with that. 

Thanks for the tutorial, i'll give it a try.

I am optimistic:
- Beta will be before 2019
Best regards!

Really nice. Thanks for the tutorial.

That's pretty wild. At first, I thought that upper building was the front of a ship. The way the angle is and all the buildings shifting, it's almost deceiving in thinking they are standing on that ring, but obviously they wouldn't be tilting. It forces a person to observe the picture.
Holy/Holey cow, Alfred.

Very nice effect, but I don’t think there’s anything sacred about it! Did you perhaps mean ‘holey’ rather than ‘holy’?
 

Spoiler: This is not a question, but something MUCH better!
 
I was in the Mac App Store to check for updates, and I was very pleased to see which apps are ranked #3 and #9 top grossing apps:
 

 
It is so good to see this, that I could not NOT share it here. Congratulations!

Go to my Youtube Channel, where you can find 35 Tutorials, with a new Tutorial coming out every 3 Days.
 
Today we are going to have a look at 4 different applications of Perspective Tools in Affinity Photo.
 
You can use them in a wide variety of ways, not just for perspective correction, but also to create new compositions or put new things into your photos. Make photos more dramatic or bring back the zen of a easy situation. So many possibilities.

oh thanks, after 30 pages a clear news. the summer is quite near
thanks

Technically any time up to ...
Autumn Equinox 2018 in Northern Hemisphere will be at 9:54 PMon
September 22 All times are in Eastern Time.    

Hi Hanzz,
Yes, this summer (2018).

Yeah I think I've heard of Fliexify-2 before, and I even think I downloaded it, but I couldn't figure it out. Ultimately I sorta was hoping you know ... Affinity Photo being a competitor to Photoshop, they would institute some kind of function that would allow me to straighten 360 photos without having to resort to Photoshop again.

Free Neon Elements you can use them conveniently thanks to the assets panel .afassets file included. 
You can use it in both personal and commercial projects for yourself, your company or your customer.
hope it will be useful for you

Hi -
I've been a member of this forum for quite a wile and I always find worthwhile content, and open sharing of ideas, and everyone helping each find solutions to issues.  I started my YouTube channel "Jenco Designs" about a year ago and have posted 10 beginner tutorials for Affinity Designer.  I love working with AD and have a blast making these videos! 
If there is something you'd like a video about, leave a comment and I'll do my best to address it. I appreciate your comments and suggestions. My goal is to help everyone have as much fun as I have working with the Affinity programs.  :-)  Jen
Here's my latest video.
 

My joking aside, you know how Publisher has been pushed back far from it's original estimation date. Well even though I know nothing about those persona icons or whatever, I have a strange feeling those might be why. Whatever they do, we were told that no other program does it. Spending five years to accomplish whatever this major task is goes to show how hard working Serif is. So I don't care about the delays. Seeing this incredible work and then hearing that the price is the same and there is still no subscription, Serif deserves so much credit. Best software developing company out there.
