The AD devs must be watching in horror as this discussion is so mixed on how things should be. :rolleyes: I see both points people make. There must be some way to get best of both worlds. I would prefer artboards to be separated myself. The layer panel gets cluttered now with all the artboards + selecting artboards as layers is annoying currently. I often move the artboards by accident, and if I lock the artboard to stay in place also locks content.

Can’t select inside an artboard at all. Selections are broken if I use shape tools to make new objects.

I want an option to turn it off for good.

Agree... But for now PSD importing doesn’t work fine. Mockups don’t even open properly, missing text and layers usually. Maybe they should fix that first.

I don’t mind artboards as special layers... but they shouldn’t be moved freely as layers. It’s so annoying currently to select all and artboard moves around... If I lock the artboard obviously I can’t select what’s inside it even if I need to.

multiple canvas = artboards

Artboards need to be made from the new doc panel as well. Set number, distance etc. Not only the flicker. Sometimes the artboards seem to randomly resize and then go back to normal size. After just making a new doc, the V shortcut doesn’t switch to the artboard tool. Love that you added the expand/contract item on the left side in the layers panel. Any chance to add some shortcut to switch between expand/contract state instead of having to click that icon? Snapping to Artboards edges seems unreliable. How do I disable the canvas rotation? Most of the time I activate it by accident and it’s useless for UI design? Also Aligning to Center seems to be absolutely ignorant on which artboard I am working on, my objects gets moved to center of the pasteboard 0_0 ... P.S. And I don’t like that you can move the artboard like a layer. Locking it doesn’t help because you also can’t move the layers inside it.

Hey there, Here I am ;) Greyscale 8 bit should be enough, saves memory. For displacements maps go 16 bit. As for base color depends on your render engine. Some consider black as 0 bump, others 50% grey as no bump + in this case you have positive and negative bump(I would go 16 bit in this case just to get high quality gradients) HSL, Levels, High Pass Filters are the quickest ways to get bump maps.

Nice pictures :)

Wonder what’s planned for the next beta? :D

Any news on this thing? This would be awesome.

I got in the past a similar issue. Maybe the perspective tool should work in a smarter way to account for the different DPI results?

Usually I never use ignore snapping, because I need it all the time. The shortcut modifier is better used for something else I guess.

Btw... why is AD so unstable in the last 2-3 months? :)

Hey guys, My latest work in 3D... again :D Of course AP was used for post. This time uploaded renders & retouched versions as well. Cheers, Vlad

I think Affinity is the only one exhibiting it’s current gradient behaviour with swatches. Apps I used so fat allow you to move swatch points away from edges. :)

Or maybe open instances of the original embedded file and add an option to control layer visibility for each instance separately.

Hi, Char/word/line counter for AD, to make it easier to get the right length/height right, for amount of text in paragraphs. Counting manually is not fun :huh: Cheers, Vlad

Using gestures would be cool indeed.

Hi, Have an issue here. 1. I am importing a PDF with multiple pages. 2. Making some changes to text in some of them. 3. Trying to save the changes to the pdf. Here issue comes in. - I just can’t seem to make AD regardless of MAS version or beta to export ALL the pages. It just seems to want to export the first page regardless of what settings I choose in the export panel. Am I missing something or is this a bug? Wish there was some option to just save in current format instead of trying to save to AD format. Thanks, Vlad

+++10 ;)

His issue is not just the app to run. That happens fine on his current old machine. His problem is to run fine when job gets intensive. So i7 it should be for him ;)

Well I will make it reallyyyy eassyyy for you :) Just get the most expensive config you can find. That one will work best with affinity apps and more ;) If budget is a concern however then anything with an I7 + SSD will do fine.
