We have no idea of whether these essential functions are on the road map and that is the frustrating part. I'm happy if bug fixes and smaller features are implemented in .x.x numbers as free updates and there if there is an upgrade price for the main version number 2.0 update - we expect would introduce substantial features and functionality improvements.
If it's this model that is holding it up, then if there is an interim update charge to implement some of the these essential missing functions - if it's reasonably priced, people would pay to for these and also keep the project moving...
If we could see the proposed features on the road map and vote, then at least we would know what's on the to-do list - and get and get feedback on what is considered important to address next in line.
I agree and the silence is puzzling and makes me suspicious

That's the point. Affinity's apps are not meant to be a full replacement for Adobe's products. There's only a fraction of adobe's customers which Serif is aiming at.
That said, this doesn't excuse the missing of some essential functions (partially established for decades in comparable programs) in their apps at all. Like a free transform tool or vector brushes for a vector program!
You still need the fundamentals and basic transform tools be be found other non-Adobe products available right now, so IMO that is a very lame excuse ... I think Affinity have spread their resources to thin and dropped the ball on this one, iPad versions and the introduction of Publisher have meant that Designer has been neglected.

@MCFC_4Heatons - the developer said he will be porting it over to windows after he releases the final release candidate for mac. I have no idea what his time frame will be for that.
I'm REALLY hoping warp and the like are a part of this 1.9 update....It was a bit of joke really if you see some of the comments to another post about a Windows only tool 😁 I'll deffo take a look if they come up with a windows version

Still no sign of these features?????

I know vectorstyler can warp and transform text - it's still in beta and for now is mac only
No windows version, thus worthless 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

There's still a window of opportunity for Affinity here .... A hell of a lot of people still use Adobe Fireworks and are extremely disgruntled with Adobe, especially those on Mac who upgrade to Mojave and find out Fireworks will no longer work.... Non-destructive perspective, Free Transform and some core warp tools like arch, arc, fisheye would seal the deal IMO. Workflow and learning curve in Illustrator and Photoshop are steep, clumsy and don't lend themselves well to long term users of an intuitive tool like Fireworks ..... Add these tools to Designer and Adobe could be dropped completely then and hello Affinity all the way

Hi all,
Just to reiterate as this thread is getting hijacked and going off on a tangent, to vote for this feature add a +1 to this new thread here and hopefully Affinity will pay attention:

Agree, if we get free transform, perspective and warp tools then we'd drop Adobe in an instant

Unless its a major release (which I'm sure we would have heard about) I doubt it - Development of Designer seems to have slowed down ....

Since i first started looking at Affinity as alternative to Adobe, I think there has been a lot of concentration on the mobile apps and the launch/development of Publisher. It seems like development of Designer has really slowed down?

Yes I know about the shear tool - the lack of a simple perspective tool in Designer like the one in Photoshop is a problem - In Adobe Fireworks its called the 'skew' tool and it combines both shear and perspective functionality. Its a frequently used tool and it should be in Designer, hopefully it won't be too long before its added ...

Not to worry though, there are manual workarounds for all of you out there:
What are the workarounds ? I can use perspective grid in Photo but it rasterizes. A simple perspective tool (called skew tool in Fireworks) is missing. I worked out a trick with the node tool that can be used on vectors to do the equivelant of the pespective tool in Photoshop - not sure about text and if I want to do the same on a bitmap I have to switch to Photo and use Perspectibe grid as far as I can see?

@MCFC_4Heatons, would be more than nice, if you re-think your tone. In this forum, we use to speak in a more polite way to each other. And, as for me, I‘d be glad, if we stick to this …
Unfortuntelay there seems to be a culture on these forums of making silly comments and general rudeness to a simple question or feature request - so if people insist on posting sarcastic replies with rude undertones then I will reply in the same manner ... I have experienced many time rudness and an ''attitude' on these forums, so the idea you are all polite on here is a nonsense .... I'll leave you to your little clique, it seems you have a very blinkered opinion

If you know that then I'm not sure shy you mentioned it. As I stated it appears to me that the object of StudioLink is to tweak not to take over the role of the base application. I'll leave that to Serif to comment on if they so wish rather than start a discussion among users about the underlying philosophy of Personas.
I am simply asking the question if there is any chance the Photo Persona will inlcude support for Thirdy Part Photoshop Plugins in the future as it would come in very handy instead of having to do round trips with edit on Photo ...
I've no idea what the point of any of your answers (if you can call them that) or comments are for ... You're wasting your energy, unless you are part of the Affinity Deve team and you know whats going on and would stop embarressing yourself ....

Hello - is there no way to make the perspective tool behave like the transform > perspective tool in Photoshop?
I thought maybe I would be able to hold shift and drag a corner for something similiar but it doesn't work?

For more elaborate work in Photo or Designer, go to File/Edit in Photo or File/Edit in Designer. It will open your document in either program. Once you're done, select File/Edit in Publisher and you're right back. Easy peasy. :-)
We know that - and it defeats the object of Studio Link i.e. not having to do roundtrips
-
Is there any chnace in the future that Studio Link might include Photoshop Plugins in the Photo Persona?

thanks for the update

Hi,
This has been discussed elsewhere on the forums but I'm posting it here as I'm pretty sure it falls under the category of a bug.
When using the guide manager with artboards its not possible to change the margins.
I believe this has been fixed in the Mac version of Designer but it still seems to be problem in Windows versions.
Designer version: 1.7.2.471
Thanks

+1 to be able to double click the page name in the pages panel and enter custom page name would be good - like you can do in Adobe Fireworks.
-
Hi Mark - you're on Mac I see... so it looks like its been fixed for Mac version but on Windows version of Designer 1.7.2 I still can't set margins
-
+1 ... need to be able to change the default color of regular guides ....
Designer - Free transform tool (perspective distort)
in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Posted
I don't see how apps that don't have non destructive free transform, perspective and warp tools can replace Adobe .. When I first came across Designer I got excited as it was the nearest thing I'd seen to Adobe Fireworks, however the lack of non destructive free transform tools is a real problem and we've been waiting a looong time without a peep from the people at Affinity....
