Hi all,
 
I've just been sent this little link: about a group of today's Photoshoppers, who were asked to use PS Version 1.0 and see how the slimline software started off.

This should be a trip down memory lane for some and a history lessons for others. (Win XP/Mac OS 9.22 and Photoshop 6.0 for my first taste.)
 
But more importantly, this a lesson for the APh detractors. There are plenty of things missing right now/on the roadmap.
 
So go easy on the app's limitations: it's STILL useable and that's what matters B). So for a Beta, it's still better (Than PS V1.0) :ph34r:

The new build (1.1.2.23663) with the brushes fixed is already available. Run Affinity Photo to get the download link.

Hi the title says it all, I would love to have this option 

A landscape inspired by... 
 

 
 
 

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.

Please no. LOL
Well some kind of freehand selection method. Could be the node tool with an modifier key pressed option, not an bad idea. change it to an selection brush or whatever. just some way to select nodes fast that are not placed on straight lines.

We have a Cinema 4D user here!

We're certainly hoping the iPad Pro exists and will appear soon - after all, we've already got Affinity up and running smoothly on iPad so a larger device would make it more compelling as a content creation device and we'd be able to release something amazing! :D

Hello Serif,
 
Not sure if this has already been brought up before, but I have found that when I want to create new shapes within the "scene", it is a few noticeable extra steps to: 
 
Select new shape
Select Color Picker and drag to desired color
Click on newly eye dropped color to fill
 
It would be awesome and a time saver (especially if you have many shapes in the scene) if, like Illustrator, you have the option to auto fill selected mesh with eye dropped color instantly.
 
Maybe a On/Off option feature?
 
Thanks!
J
 
 

My first attempt at illustrating using Affinity - have found the workflow very easy to pick up, gradient tool and 'paste inside' have been the most useful so far. Haven't tried the raster tools yet, I'm more of a vector native, but I'll experiment at some point. 
 
Have to say I'm loving this software - anything that will help me get out of the grip of the evil empire is worth having!

Welcome the world of cars and magic.

Well hello there,
 
I'm lucky enough to have been blessed with a lovely baby boy the last few weeks so haven't had much time to spend on this image. I really wanted to show everybody the characters though, so I've bunched em up and here they are! I've started a blog incase anybody's interested, http://craigearnshaw.net  Why not follow me! Its pretty bare at the moment but hopefully I'll fill it up over time! Anyway thanks for having a look.
 
Craig.

Maybe I should be more specific. When I said hole I ment a hole in the shape of the object, not an circle.
Now it would be nice to have an dropdown where you could choose which shape you want to subtract, but also maybe a little too much to ask for.  ;)

Hi ABC,
 
Color Balance should be in the Help for this week's beta as it went in last week. I don't get to write it up until it's in the software :P .
 
Noted about clipping/masking.
 
I'll investigate the text being clipped by the Window. Can any other OSX Lion users verify this?  
 
Oh.. we also hope to create a Handbook (ibook format) at some point.
 
cheers
Andy

Hi there. I might be the only one to want this, but I would really like to see an option to make holes in all shapes, and not just for the donut and cog.
 
Anyone with me on this?..

damn, now you just made me hate mondays again  :D

I was actually planning on doing this today... Guess I better get typing! :)

Ok, I'm Italian and my english is "engrish" so I'm the very last person able to talk about meanings here...
But... To bake in design context is pretty common.
In 3D scene rendering a "baked texture" is a term that indicates a "frozen" version of texture mapping with some lightning data, useful to shorten rendering times.
So "bake corners" sounds meaningful to me...

rui_mac: Make any video you like - these betas are public upon initial release (because they can be installed as a trial), so it's all good :)
 
Andy.

Two new betas on the same day is insane (in a good way!)...

Paekke,
Place you cursor near the middle control points of the object's bounding box (from the outside) until two small arrows appear. Then click and drag to skew the object.

It seems that you have to release the pen, if you want to adjust hardness right after size. 
You just can't make both in one go. I hope they will fix this.
Also The preview is too hard to see, give it a bright color, I'm an old man  :P
 
Also the shortcuts in Pixel Persona doesn't exist. B for Paint Brush and E for Erase Brush.. Just to name a few.

@ Paekke
Press ctrl while launching the app in the Launchpad, then select clear from the dialog that will appears. Let me know if this solved the problem.
