    Are you using AD for professional work?
  2. Zunaid
    Webflow? Interesting choice. Looks good. And thank you for explaining i really appreciate.
  3. Zunaid
    @Brian I think it was actually about using AD. I mean the features that help with web design. I will try to find. Or you can just google affinity designer udemy. He teaches the tools required. I am busy with work so i couldn't find it. I will try to find it and share.
  4. Zunaid
    Did you use After effects for animation? How do you post large images? Attachment shows small images.
  5. Zunaid
    There was a good course on Udemy which teaches many of the principles that required for web design. I will try to find out.
  6. Zunaid
    Nice work! :) How do you post the large images? Do you use HTML codes?
  7. Zunaid
    That would be a problem if the measurements aren't accurate. Is this the case with Avacode or Zeplin? How about using sketch? Is the plugin support same. Better support for export will come slowly i believe as all the guys in affinity are regular adding requested features in their list. Let's see what happens.
  8. Zunaid
    My experience (in brief) : I bought AD mostly for UI/UX design and some illustration design. Overall my experience is good. Some good things : - I felt it addressed a lot of problems that photoshop and illustrator had when it comes to UI Design. - Exporting Persona is great. - Overall it's good even though i haven't used it extensively. Problem is when i am finished with the design. I am having trouble giving my clients the source file. Only that is keeping me from leaving Adobe completely. Reason : 1. Most don't use Affinity Designer. 2. Png Export is great but clients/developers need source file : Psd, Ai or sketch. 3. PSD export has some issues e.g. exporting of text, gradient are two which i came across for now. So can't give PSD export files. Solution (Feature Requests) : 1. A free affinity designer trial. It can have limited features. But the client and developer can use them to get attributes. So no need for PSD export. I can just tell them to download the trial version. Problem solved to a certain extent. 2. Making PSD export files better. Making the text editable and solving other issues. [Problem with this] This is a tough one. Adobe is not the only competitor. There is also sketch which is getting popular day by day. Then there is XD. So making export perfect for all this is time consuming, inefficient. *3. Integration with web apps like invisionApp, Zeplin, Avacode or Sympli (I think Sympli is working on affinity designer version). This will solve many problems. It will reduce the need to make PSD export perfect. Affinity can then stand as a UI/UX tool on it's own. Similar to Sketch. Sketch doesn't need to export their files to PSD. 4. Plugins. There are different types of plugins some will make the workflow easy and some are important because it allows integration with web apps. (Mentioned in point 3) I would suggest it would be better if they can collaborate with InvisionApp. Reason : -InvisionApp supports both windows and mac users unlike many tools like principle and filnto etc. - A decent prototyping tool. - Inspect feature is similar to Zeplin, Avacode or Sympli. Reducing the need to give PSD source files to client. - Motion (still in progress) : Competitor to Principle/Flinto. I have read in many posts that these features are being highly sought after and lack of it is sadly becoming a problem in replacing Adobe / Sketch with Affinity Designer for UI/UX designers.

    I understand the difficulty but it would be better if you guys can integrate with web tools like Zeplin, InvisionApp, Sympli (i think it's on work according to their website) or avacode even before text. Then we won't need this feature that desperately. Text is sadly the only thing that is keeping me from using Affinity for my works. I think there is a problem with gradient also when exporting to PSD. I have to double check that. Which one is more easier adding the text feature or integrating with web tools?
  10. Zunaid
    Thank you both. I didn't understand at first.
  11. Zunaid
    I was talking about AD. I don't see the option when i right click in the layer.
  12. Zunaid
    Is the option available on windows version too? I can't seem to find properties amount the options when i right click a layer.
  13. Zunaid
    I was about to make the same post. Highlighted the issue in one of my previous post as well. https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/33795-text-are-not-exported-as-text-during-psd-export/ AD is almost perfect except after design there is a problem with sending files to the client. Most uses Adobe. So integration with invisionapp, zeplin or other similar would be perfect.
  14. Zunaid
    Thank you for this. But as i mentioned above. From a UI designer's perspective integration with web tools like Invisionapp, Zeplin, avacode would be better. As then it would reduce many people (specially UI designers) relying on PSD export. Also i think there is some problem with "gradient" too when exported to PSD. These types of problem will keep coming and only way to solve is relying less on PSD.
  15. Zunaid
    Agreed. Affinity has the potential to kill both Illustrator and Photoshop. Sketch almost destroyed Photoshop which led them to create Adobe XD. Sketch did so by integrating with web tools like zeplin and using plugins. As a result clients or developers don't even need PSD files even if they don't have sketch. Affinity can do the same thing. Plus there should be a standard where all apps converge.
  16. Zunaid
    Very nice work! By the way, how do you guys share the large version of the image?
  17. Zunaid
    Just fooling around before writing a post about my experience and what features i feel are required. - Learn to use mask - Gradient as fill - Destructive and Constructive use of pathfinder tool (Way better than Illustrator and Photoshop) - Color Picker - Grouping layers https://dribbble.com/shots/3221557-Sign-Up-UI
  18. Zunaid
    From an UI/UX designer's perspective i think the best would be to integrate with web tools like avacode, sympli, invisionapp inspect etc. That would cut down the need to produce PSD. Because i need to export as PSD to give it to my clients so that they can get attributes. As most people don't have AD. I wish they did. It would be nice if it's done quickly. This is for now seems to be the only reason keeping me from completely ditching Adobe. If it's get done then i won't need Adobe at all. I will write a post about it.
  19. Zunaid
    Posted the same thing twice.
  20. Zunaid
    Thank you Carl. That was quite easy. I was searching for option in the layer menu. Is there a way to color code layer?
  21. Zunaid
    In photoshop or other software when i select a shape or a layer. It focuses that shape or layer in the layer panel. Let's say i select a circle. The circle layer get's highlighted and is brought to my layer panel view even if it is down somewhere not in focus. But in AD windows when i select something, the layer panel doesn't focuses on the layer selected. I have to scroll through the whole layer and find that layer. Is this only for me?
  22. Zunaid
    Hello I exported an affinity file as PSD. I opened it with photoshop cs6 and tried to edit the text. It seems i can't edit the text as it was not exported as editable text. Same was the case for import but it was solved from Preference option. Is there a way to export text as text for PSD? Most of my client will not PSD export as they don't have AD.
  23. Zunaid
    I am kind of confused why my picture came so small in the preview window.
  24. Zunaid
    Thank you.
  25. Zunaid
    The first thing i made is a simple sign up UI. I have not focused much on alignment as i just wanted to just create something quickly at first. Source File : DeviantArt
