Arc warp
MCFC_4Heatons replied to Jack McOck's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
We purchased Photo and Designer to have a look at them ...... I'll come back in a year and see where Affinity are then.... in the meantime I'll continue using Adobe Fireworks & occassionally Photoshop ... Hopefully a few of the glaring ommissions in Photo and Designer will be there by then like presets for text ant-aliasing, mesh warp,, arc, arch, etc ... at the moment the tools & a bit frustrating to use with such omissions, it seems hard to get a definititve answer from Affinity too, I don't see any direct support.... only forums? You'll end up like Adobe with a total disconnect from your customers if you're ot careful.... I fully expect Adobe to lose a lot of customers inthe next few years- 23 replies

Yes I know its frustrating - hopefully the integration between Publisher, Photo and Designer will be seamless in the future - the Betas seem to suggest. I don't mind paying for all three at the affordable prices. The only trick I worked out in Designer was convert a square to curves select two diagonally oppossite points holding shift then you can do some simple perspective tricks .... buiy limited I know

I'm looking for this too ... the 'shear' tool does some similiar effects but it is very dofficult to be precise with it as far as I can see to do a perfect arch effect- 23 replies

Lens Flare
MCFC_4Heatons replied to aloach's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Just off track slightly, but on the subject of Phoptoshop Plugins - Jixipix plugins seems to work in Photo and Star Filter Pro which is a nice llittle plugin also works (tested on Windows 10) .... Might be useful to somebody ..... I hope the Affinity people get wider support for more plugins in the future -

When I tested the 64 bit version of Knoll Light Factory 3.2 in Affinity it actually worked on one occassion! Mostly though the plugin is launched and when you try to apply/save the effect Affinity Photo then crashes. As I understand it Red Giant are no longer developing the Light Factory plugin for Photoshop, their concentration is on video. So, in a weird way it would could make sense for Affinity to get Knoll Light Factory working inside Photo, because (a) Photo doesn't have a native lens flare effect and (b) At least they won't have to worry about updates to Knoll Light Factory breaking the integration -

Interesting because I've had the opposite experience with the MediaChance Bridge ... May I ask which 32 bit PS Plugins you tried to use with it? -

That would take it to the next level i.e. being able to apply third party PS Plugins in a non destructive way -

.... anyway while playing around with Photo BETA i tried a plugin I have by MediaChance Plugin Bridge - a wrapper so you can run 32bit plugins inside 64 bit version of Photoshop.... It seems to work well & I was able to use a 32bit version of Knoll Light Factory with it inside Affinity Photo. Question????? ...... Can third party plugin effects be non destructive? I know Photo has the live/non destructuive built-in effects but any way to make 3rd party plugins non destructive like smart objects in Photoshop? -

Yes I know but its not the same as having the effect in the program to avoid round trips to doifferent apps - Digital Film Tools also has a standalone app as well as the PS plugin -

MCFC_4Heatons replied to aloach's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
It needs a lens flare effect .... I just tested the last vesion of Light Knoll Factory (v3.2) which still works in Photoshop CC 2019, it doesn't work in Affinity Photo unfortuntely, the only other PS plugin I know off that includes lens fare effects is Digital Fiml Tools, sadly that doesnlt seem to work in Affinity Photo either :( -
Its a great tool but using the latest Beta is mightly frustrating that some basics/fundementals are missing ... 1) Please add a basic persepctive tool that works on bitmaps / vectors, in Adobe Fireworks its called the skew tool & works seamlessly on bitmaps or vectors. Altthough I have copies of both Photo and Designer its tedious switching between programs sometimes, maybe because I am long time Adobe Fireworks users and used to the all in one program approach. 2) Please add some text anti-aliasing pre-sets/options, the native feature that was explained to me in Designer is totally alien. 3) Ability to crop the canvas area either mannually with a crop tool or crop to selection ... Its really useful when designing indiviudual graphic elements

Text Anti-aliasing Method
MCFC_4Heatons replied to JDW's topic in Feedback for the V1 Affinity Suite of Products
still no text anti-aliasing in the latest beta of designer ... seems a glaring ommission to me??? Any particular reason why this feature doesn't seem to get any attention from the developers?- 85 replies
