I colored this inked artwork by Walter Simonson in Photo. The art I had to work with wasn't very high res so I needed to resize and adjust the lineart slightly. Walt is an amazing comicbook artist mostly known for his incredible THOR run.
Comicbook fans, enjoy!

Could we have a few options added to the color picker? I'd love to see:
A few different magnification options or let the user set the zoom level
An option to turn off the shading on the zoomed in area (I find it very distracting when trying to select the color I am looking for)
An option to show other color descriptions besides RGB. ie: HSL or HEX

Hi all, thought I'd introduce myself, as I predict I will be posting here every so often to help or get help
I'm a hobby graphic designer, and by that I mean very much a beginner. I've done some police badges and car designs, and I'm looking to up my skills and software. I cut my teeth on Inkscape, but it runs a little slow on my mac, and the UI isn't as pretty as all the other apple stuff so I bought affinity designer.
Immediately I was frustrated with trying to join two nodes, but I figured it out. I have a feeling if i put the same time into this as I did with Inkscape I'll be better off with AD.
I look forward to learning from you guys and searching first, and maybe one day contributing!

Those all look really nice!
Great use of that brush stroke!

It would be very useful to be able to see the images as they will be saved when adjusting the settings in the export dialog box.
So for example if we select JPG and lower the quality to 25% you would see the image update to show the compression artifacts. I find that many times it is important to lower quality setting as much as possible but without losing quality to specific areas and it's hard to really know where to set these setting if we cannot see a real time view of the export settings.
There could be a toggle switch to turn the preview on or off.
This could also apply to any pixel dimension changes and other compression / export settings but even just showing the JPG compression would be nice.
Cheers!

Here are a few of the illustration that I created for a site I just finished working on. All the final images were SVG files but many of them started with a photo reference or with original art created in Photo. There are a few that were all done in Designer as well. For some of the images (such as the quasar and the fusion image) I also used Flame Painter which is a fractal paint application and would then bring those elements into Photo to composite and adjust them to get the final art. I can go into more of the process if anyone is interested.
Cheers!

This came out wonderful! Love the color scheme and the clean look of the 'inking' lines!

Hey Jeffery,
That's some cool stuff. I am into space as well. I was hoping N would stand for Nebula. :P I was just curious to hear what might be explained about it since I seem to be obsessed with it. I have a science fiction I created in which unknown particles in a nebular act like molecules in trees to help sustain life, but they can even recreate it.
Thanks!
Yeah, I had so many topics I wanted to cover, and Nebula was definitely on there, but I really wanted to include all the planets (which is why M gets two). If I do a version 2 or add other items nebula would definitely be there! I would get most of my information from NASA and Wikipedia sources. There are so many amazing nebula images out there - as well as info! I'm not exactly sure what I'd put in the info for nebula. I would spend a lot of time going through each subject and then try to take it down to a very easy to understand paragraph but still keep it true to the science.

Just wanted to add another request for this feature.
Cheers,

Thanks Peter, I have been using the curves adjustment instead of the levels output and it's a good workaround, I just miss the numeric input for those settings. I'll probably stick to using levels for my gamma adjustments and just add a curves adjustment if I need to adjust the output levels. Thanks for taking the time to reply with all the info. Do you happen to know if someone has put in a feature request for output settings on the levels adjustment?
edit: just saw someone already requested this feature.
-
I use level adjustments all the time. In the Photoshop levels adjustment there are the input settings and gamma setting at the top but at the bottom there are also output settings. I do use all of them at different times. Is there a way to adjust the output settings in Photo similar to how they would be adjusted in PS?
I'm fine if it requires a different adjustment layer, although it would be great if it was located inside the levels adjustment.
Cheers!

Hello all!
I'm another long time Adobe Photoshop (cough cough since version 1!) and Illustrator user coming on board here. I've also been around since the early Pagemaker and Freehand days and it's nice to see some new great applications now. I primarily work on my own now and was happy to find some other options that didn't require large monthly payments. I've been pretty impressed with Photo and Designer and while I can see some features that will really help them get more robust they're off to an amazing beginning.
I've been slowly getting comfortable switching my creative workflow to only use the Affinity products. My first big project was a science / astronomy education site for young people that I created. All the illustrations and graphics were created with Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer with a few other supporting applications as well. The Universe from A to Z
It's nice to see a great community and forum here!

Ok, thanks for the info, MEB. I'll look forward to having this feature in Photo at some point. I have a workaround using a different product for now but I've been trying to move as much as my workflow to Photo when possible.
Cheers!

Hello,
In Photo (Win10) is there a way to set a bitmap fill to be exactly 100% of the original size of the file that you use?
For example: I'm using a pattern file that is 100x100px. When I use that as a bitmap fill in a Photo document I want the base pattern to be exactly 100x100 px as well. Is there an exact way or a way to put in a numerical scale value for the bitmap pattern file?
Thanks,
Jeff

Not sure if you can add a second stroke but you could duplicate the object and send it behind the first. Then put a thicker stroke on the rear object so it shows behind the front one.

There is no one correct method for photo adjustments. Every case can be different and every user uses different tools.
When you say jpeg workflow do you just mean photo workflow or are you trying to re-save these files a jpg files?
There are some great videos on YouTube and Vimeo that cover all different workflows for photo editing. It might help to review some of these to find a workflow that is a good fit for you.
-
Is this what you're trying to do?
Don't see an file attachment button here on this forum. So that link will have to suffice for now.

Thanks MEB, yes this was for Photo. Ok I can use that as a fallback for now.
cheers!
thanks for the welcome, btw!

Is there a way to use the elliptical and rectangular marquee tools and have them expand from the center of your initial click? I would think holding a modifier key would allow for this but I can't seem to find any combination that works.
Thanks for any help!
