martinez reacted to Mithferion in Affinity Designer - iOS App icons template
Hello, guys!
Just a quick post to share with you a template for designing iOS App icons. Icons come in different sizes and done with the last angle for corners set by Apple. The icons are symbols so you can see changes quickle on all of them.
Hope this be useful!
Best regards!

martinez reacted to Steven Westmoreland in iOS App Icon Template
If you're designing an iOS app icon, you can use this template to export the 18 different icon sizes required by Apple named according to Apple’s guidelines. To get started, edit the Icon symbol on the App Icon layer. When you are ready to export, switch to the Export Persona and click the Export Slices button. Make sure to disable the mask layers before you export – icons should be exported as square images.
You can download the latest version on my website. Thanks for looking!

martinez reacted to v_kyr in Pro Photo - icc-Profile and sRGB-Export
Hello and welcome,
you might want to take a look at these sites which deal in the one or other way with that theme:
Understanding ProPhoto RGB Color Spaces beyond Adobe RGB ROMM RGB Kodak Color Profiles The Pointers Gammut Related to the possible different ICC file implementations here, those profiles are available from different sources, sometimes they are already pre bundled inside with some RAW converters (Adobe, Nikon, CaptureOne etc.) or certain image processing apps, or they are available from other internet resources. - Some people also do their own profile implementations here, since the Kodak ProPhoto RGB specification is official available, see as an example ...
Chromasoft icc profiles So beside the dating there might be also slightly differences in those profiles.

martinez reacted to MEB in Free Content included with 1.6 ('Till 16th November)
This offer has expired and so this thread is locked
Finding the Offer
If you Purchase Affinity Designer or Affinity Photo for Desktop (Mac or Windows, not iPad) OR you already own Affinity on Mac or Windows, then you can also download the free content in the launch offer by updating Affinity to 1.6 and click the "Claim Now" button in the Welcome screen. The offer is only open until November 16th, so hurry up
First Update the software to 1.6.x. Mac software bought from the Mac App Store (MAS) is updated through the MAS update tab.
Windows software can be updated by running the App and pressing Download when prompted about the newer version.
Once you have installed the update, run the Affinity software (Designer or Photo) and the splash screen shows briefly, followed by the Welcome screen that looks like this
Affinity Photo Welcome Screen
Affinity Designer Welcome Screen
If you have the Welcome screen turned off (in Preferences) then you can still access the Welcome screen from the Help menu > "Welcome..." option
IF YOU CANNOT SEE THE SCROLLING OFFER, you will need to give your software firewall clearance in order to see the pages that looks like these attachments. On Windows you may also need to install Internet Explorer 10 or above. Some customers report they have needed to disable VPN networks . If that does not work and you are using the purchased version (not trial or beta) then please add to this thread and we will try to help.
Claiming Your Content
Once you have clicked on the "Claim Now" in the software Welcome screen you will be taken to the Affinity Store (a shopping basket on our website) called "Your Order Summary", from which you can claim your content. Simply make an account by using the "NEW TO AFFINITY?" option on the store as you claim your content. (If you happen to have an account the New to affinity option will tell you anyway, so everyone can use that option) The free content will be added to the Downloads Section of your account and can be seen in future in your Affinity Store Order History.
IMPORTANT
You will ONLY have an Affinity Store account if you have bought the Windows version of Affinity Designer or the Windows version of Affinity Photo or the Affinity Designer Workbook from our site Affinity.Store.
If you bought the Mac version from the Mac App Store you need to create an Affinity Store account to claim the free content. Purchases from the Mac App Store (MAS) are ONLY in Apple's database and Affinity Mac owners DO NOT have an automatic Affinity Store account.
A forum account is not an Affinity Store account, so if that's all you have you will need to create an account too.
A Serif legacy account (used to buy the Plus range) is NOT an affinity store account, the databases are 100%independent.
Installing the Content
Once you have downloaded the free content each zip file has instructions in an included PDF as to how to install it or use it in the appropriate Affinity application. Each one is different. As well as being inside the Zip files, you can also find these Quick start guides in English and German linked to in this resources post
https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/50300-installing-free-16-content/ For the Photo Content there is also a video on the Uplift Epic Skies collection here https://vimeo.com/240834026

martinez reacted to MattP in Affinity Designer Customer Beta (1.1.2.22547)
Purpose: Improvements, Features, Fixes
Status: Beta
Requirements: Purchased Affinity Designer
Mac App Store: Not submitted
Download: https://s3.amazonaws...stomer Beta.dmg
To use this beta, simply download the file from the link given above and double-click on the file to open the installer. Follow the instructions to install the beta version. The beta sits alongside the Mac App Store version and will not interfere with it.
Documents made in this version will not be openable in older versions of Affinity Designer. This change was necessary in order to ensure a consistent baseline for our file format for the upcoming Affinity Photo Beta. When we update the Mac App Store version it will upgrade to this new archive version number too so will not be an issue in the future. Please note - This beta does not include the German/Spanish/French translations - we will update it very soon with these localised resources. Sorry for any inconvenience in the meantime. Improvements, Features, Fixes - Affinity Photo integration - Added the ability to save a document with history
- Radial gradient crash bug
- Fixed Copy/Paste between Designer and Photo
- Welcome screen tweaks
- Studio fixes
- Fix for colour context not correctly reflecting document defaults at certain times
- Fix for cat shape not generating its outlines correctly since the last beta

As more camera formats are added they will appear first in beta builds and will be listed here (and then released in a future update)
