  1. I have been caught out a few times by not noticing that Wet edges was set, however some brushes need it to be set to, so I don't think having it off by default, and only working if you explicitly set it, would be desirable, as you wouldn't know which brushes were intended to use it. It could also be annoying for people who frequently want to use Wet Edges. I don't really think that making duplicate brushes with your preferred settings is really very practical for people with a large number of brushes. My own feeling is that there should be a general option to keep the settings as they are now (Wet on, Wet off or Leave it as it is) or to override the Leave it as it is option and turn it off so that when you choose a new brush Wet Edges is turned off unless it is explicitly set on by the brushes designer. (IOW, the Leave it as it is setting is treated as Wet off.)
  2. Number 4's name escaped me at first! Then I thought of Lee Marvin ('no idea why I always get them mixed up!) but realised that the first name was wrong! then I got it! ๐Ÿ˜
  3. This is actually due to the magnification at which you view the filter effect. You need to view it at 100% to get a good idea of the actual effect, even then, due to the way it is displayed on screen, the printed version may look slightly different.
  4. Of course it should cycle the tools if you have disabled using the shift key! Enable the shift key and the tools will only cycle when you press the shift key in conjunction with the letter key. If you have disabled the option to use the shift key, it will cycle the tools with just the letter key.
  5. Personally I prefer to avoid destructive cropping, so rather than deleting part of the layer I would either clip the layer to a shape or use a mask,.
  6. If you want to separate a multipage PDF into single pages, the easiest way is to use a third party app, such as PDF24. You can download it for Windows and there is also an online version. https://www.pdf24.org/en/
  7. The most surprising thing about this whole affair is not so much that Kensington Palace issued a photo of a happy, family portrait that had been slightly retouched, but that certain members of the press and media reacted with such a "holier than thou" attitude, condemning the "edited" image; as though they themselves never use photographs that have been heavily altered, including, nowadays, with the assistance of AI.
  8. The one that is annoying me is number 8. I'm sure I should know who he is, I just can't think of his name! ๐Ÿ˜ EDIT - Got it now, thanks for the hints! (I'd been thinking he was an actor that I couldn't quite place!)
  9. Well, I can name twelve of them, a couple of others I recognise, but canโ€™t think of their names, I have no idea about the other two!
  10. I'd much rather they didn't! Although it could be improved, I don't have any real problems with the light UI, and I don't want to have to start using the dark version.
  11. Well nobody is forcing you to buy a new version every time one comes out. You can just keep using v1. It was always made perfectly clear that there would be free updates for v1, but new versions would be a separate purchase. Do you think the staff who work on Affinity received one pay packet and now work for free? Would you buy a new car, then expect a free one whenever a new model comes out? (Edit: for anyone coming across this post and wondering why itโ€™s here, it was in reply to another post which was later removed!)
  12. One dictionary definition of "professional" is, "engaged in a specified activity as one's main paid occupation rather than as a pastime". By that definition I have never been a professional designer. However, design work, and photo editing, was an important part of my work for nearly 50 years, (using first the old Serif software, along with other software, and Affinity since it was first released). Also my wife, who is a professional illustrator and surface pattern designer, has recently moved over to Affinity, after using Adobe for many years. (Partly to save money, but mainly because she prefers using it!) So, yes, I think it fair to say that the Affinity suite has been used for professional work!
  13. Not if it means even more scrolling to find the item you want! I don't think it's a great problem to have to go to a dedicated page, on the rare occasions that someone wants to install an old version, rather than the latest.
  14. Like so many settings, the developers have decided, for whatever obscure reason, that these settings should continually reset to the default that they have decided they should be, rather than staying on what the user has set!
