    There are more features to 1.7 than just Metal support on macOS.
    We've supported Metal from day one on the iPad products, and to the best of my knowledge, we didn't have complaints about lack of GPU acceleration on macOS or Windows when we released them...

    Also, Metal is not new to 1.7. It was implemented last year or the year before and it was also very smooth in Designer. That was a big feature last year along with the iPad Designer version and how smooth it was. What they did implement was Metal 2 and additional metal acceleration.

    Bryce reacted to walt.farrell in Printing and Gamut Check   
    The purpose of Soft Proofing is to let you see how the image will probably look when printed, and compare that with how it looks on the screen. They can never match completely, of course, as one uses transmitted light and one uses reflected light, but the idea is that by soft proofing and adding additional adjustments you should get the printed version closer to what you see on the screen.
    If you think the prints are coming out acceptably without soft proofing and additional adjustments, I'd say don't worry, be happy

    I think you misunderstand.  Go back too far and the GPUs themselves (or their drivers) don't support compute at all.  On those new enough to do so, where Photo *does* allow it to be enabled, people are finding it is actually slower when using GPU compute than when it is turned off.  The hardware cannot keep up to the point that keeping the processing on the CPU is actually faster than using the GPU because of the requirements of a program like this.  It is not that GPU is not supported by the program, but using it on older GPU hardware (or possibly due to lower-quality drivers) results in slower performance instead of faster.

    If apple have made it possible for us to achieve better results , what should we do? The same amount of effort are going into both and one is giving better results because of the Mac ecosystem. Complain to Microsoft as we want everything to be the best. Why would you assume anything else? Our answers are honest and open.

    Strange, it is MUCH more smooth on my not so beefed-up system [i7-4770, 16 GB RAM, GTX 1660 Ti, SATA SSD etc] with 16 Mpix image!
    Show us your performance preferences, maybe you have selected WARP renderer?

    his answer is correct. close your Publisher and open both designer and Photo then close them and open Publsiher. It didn't work for me and after doing that it was fine.
    One last thing is you have to own them both to get both buttons working.

    Bryce reacted to Friksel in Wow Studiolink!   
    Before the announcement I thought the idea to switch between apps was a great idea, but now we see how we really can work in the same workflow instantly is much better than I could imagine. Actually a very briljant idea!
    I say; Adobe eat your heart out! Next year 3 milion Affinity users.
    Thanks Serif for this Studiolink idea! This is indeed a great timesaver and makes everything even more fun to work with!! I'm so glad I once made the switch to use products made by this enthousiastic and clearly passionate team with a great vision!

    Bryce reacted to MikeW in Illustrator EPS import issue   
    Illustrator is opening an AI file inside of the EPS.
    If that EPS did not have the AI file portion, it would open the same in AI, as meshes (which is what the gradients are made of), are not a valid EPS constructs (same goes with PDFs). They are always broken into pieces in order to emulate the meshes.
    Stock image sites should have a warning anytime a user uploads an EPS that contains embedded AI portions that have meshes in them clearly stating what will happen if opened in an application other than AI.
    I don't know of any application that can open an EPS made with Illustrator that contains meshes and have those meshes remain intact. That includes CorelDraw. However, if that file is resaved as an AI file with or without the embedded PDF portion, CorelDraw retains the meshes. The screen shot is from within CorelDraw:

    Even when AD has mesh capabilities, what you are getting in AD is what you will always get (pieces parts of the meshes) because the meshes are only to be found in the AI portion of an EPS and AD will likely never be able to open an AI file directly (especially the embedded AI portion in an EPS file).
    Sorry.

    Hi gafvert,
    As explained above this situation is a little exceptional because we are preparing to release the first version of Publisher and we need to ensure its compatibility with the rest of the suite (personas integration, file format compatibility etc). We used to release updates more frequently and as soon as Publisher is out, I do expect updates return to their usual pace.

    Bryce reacted to gafvert in Affinity Designer for macOS - 1.6.1   
    I'd agree that publishing more updates with smaller improvements to show that active development is taking place would be great. Since the software is very much a developing product with many features not yet implemented I would have expected much more frequent updates to reflect this. In fact, I've more than once spent time looking for "check for updates" settings, wondering if I've somehow disabled updates or missed new releases since I'm still on the same version I bought a year ago.

    Bryce reacted to Uncle Mez in Smarty Studio : Our Project (made with Affinity)   
    Hello People !
    i'm back in this topic today to share a quick job i've done recently for a young DJ from Paris in France. Well it is only a Business card model !
    He's specialized in Christian music but also does some IT works but the point was clearly on music.
    i will share two mockups i have made for him and you feel free to tell which one you would have chose and also please leave some inputs of what you would have changed in there to make it better.
    All was done with current Beta version of Affinity Suite, nothing stable version was used.
    it is my way of testing to find if there is a bug on what.
    i kindly invite @Chris B and @MEB to also check and see what can be achieved with those recent beta versions.
    Also i thank @AdamW @MattP and all the team member for the excellent job done with the recent Beta versions, it is a pleasure to work with it !
    Take this to ask further improvement to be made to the Live perspective filter, it almost messed up the thing (with the mockup) so i was obliged to go the destructive route.
    Please guys don't break it but make it even fluid and better that it is today and also more suited for robust and flexible projects.
    Blessings !
