Hello again.. I love the Noise option in Affinity Designer when colouring, but we can make it more sexy. In 3D you have the option to choose from different noise types when creating materials. I think this option would be a nice one to have in the bag of tricks in Affinity Designer. Of course it got to have a nice preview, just like the attachment.
 
One nice suggestion would be the ability to be able to add to this collection, import/export just like brushes.

Yes, absolutely! Especially in a beta(!) of version 1(!!)
Just dream on!
And believe me: I am working in print industries for decades, and all, you think is absolutely necessary in a pre version one release was possible times ago without any special command/feature within an application. It simply requires a certain amount of work and creativity.
Understand me correctly: I don’t say, these feaures are unnecessary. But I say, expecting them in a version one of a new publisher is unworldly. And saying, it is not possible to use the app („… I can’t print a single thing!“) is …

The Affinity Publisher 1.7 free public beta is now available for Mac and Windows.
Please go to the Affinity Publisher page and press the "Download for Free Now" button to add it to an affinity store basket.

1. You're assuming that we work the same way that you work. You're also assuming that your way is best.
 
2. You seem to be the odd one out here. 
 
3. Designer is a vector drawing and illustration application - not a technical drawing application. I'm sorry that it doesn't have the features that you require, so you should probably look into getting a refund and / or using a different piece of software for your needs.
 
 
 
I've spent enough time trying to point out that we're trying to help here, but as you're just ranting about our methods, and not bringing anything constructive to the discussion, I'll be switching back to helping other customers on the forum.

I just want to bring this post back to the top and dwell on it for a little while... You know I can't help but say a little too much most of the time, but I've been told in no uncertain terms that I'm not allowed to confirm or deny the function of these buttons... So I was trying to think what I could say about the subject, so: They're not there by accident. They're not placeholders. They're awesome. Nobody else offers this, nor could they.
 
So my question to you is: What do you think they do? 

Affinity Publisher sneak peek! Just to prove we're not making the whole thing up, check out this early build of our DTP app. Still lots of perfecting to do; expect the beta next summer. Enjoy.
 
Update: I think we have answered all the questions we can about Publisher before the beta starts. Hopefully the public beta will answer any remaining questions when it starts at the end of August.

Different nibs, bristles and behaviours to create catchy and vibrant strokes. This set is usable in Affinity Designer too!

A set of dry media, with rough look and feel. Pressure and other dynamics are there to make anything look dramatically analog.
This set is usable in Affinity Designer too!

Updated with 24 new tools!
 

 

 
 
 
These are 16bit capable, this means that if you want to perform further manipulations to your rasterised layers, these will be much more precise and tones will be smoother. 

Hi,
Just an idea, but would it make sense for staff to create a sticky thread, which basically acts as a list of all resources shared by members?
The list could display each contributing member's name, followed by the list of their resources, or alternatively, listed by type of resource (Macros / Brushes) etc.
 
This would prevent having to scroll down through potentially hundreds of separate threads.
 
The users could still post their specific threads here, but the top thread could be made sticky - listing them all.
All the users / creators would need to do would be to request that their resource gets added to the list.
 
If each member who thinks this is a good idea "likes" this post, it will then be easier for staff to see if the community likes this idea or not (without having to post lots of separate +1 posts.)
Just an idea :)
 
Thanks.

@maschinsky - Can you get this to work?.. won't work here, but I'm also running the trial. Not sure if there's some limitations, but the "characters of current font" won't work here  :( 

Symbols and constraints are great, but now there's a new contender for my favorite 1.5 feature. :D  Thanks so much for including this!

Hear me out.. Why not let AD do the work for you.. So instead of the user having to find layers and groups by scrolling, it should just jump right to the selected object/group in the Layer PaneI. I mean AD highlights selected, but it could just as well jump to it.  I would LOVE to see this added  :wub: 

Google has just announced that their Google Nik Collection composed of seven Photoshop plug-ins is now free for everyone.

Currently Analog Efex Pro 2, Color Efex Pro 4, Silver Efex Pro 2 work with Affinity Photo. HDR Efex Pro 2 only works partially.

Eheheh... Another one seeking for a node-based photo editor?  :)
I wonder why nobody ever tried to build a serious one...

Well... (update...)

These brushes offer a ramp shaped to jitter hues and luminosity of the colour you're painting with.

Happy mosaic!

I should move to Russia...  :)

yes this and sliding nodes on the curve, which means the curve shape remains, but the point moves on it.
I too would love the ability to extrude edges, so the workflow would remind of 3d modeling in top ortho view.
 
BTW: you can get a circle with 8 nodes by using the Cloud Tool then set the number of bubbles to 4 and move the red node outwards so that it shapes like an circle. Then convert to curves.

True Dat :)

um…it’s not by Adobe?

1) You can buy it; no rental.

will there be a little christmas gift this year? (issue 3)

Hmmm - that's interesting - I'd not thought of doing it per-layer before... I'll give it some more thought, thanks! :)

.afdesign and .afphoto are the same format - just with different names - and they will both support 32-bit HDR completely :)
