[Extremely disappointed that this installs as an "App" and not regular software program]

Just copy "C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\", replace <username> with your user name, paste it into the windows explorer address bar and press enter, then you''re in th right directory

And yes you're right, "AppData" is a hidden directory

[Extremely disappointed that this installs as an "App" and not regular software program]

My opinion:

I'm also not a friend of this Windows APP sh......

When I buy a software outside of the Windows Store, I expect a normal adjustable software setup and not the APP slavery, which installs on my hard drive as it wants.

Dissapointing move, Guys

[Saving Layouts (Workspaces) - cheap workaround on Windows]

Hi,

 

here a little batch file which copies the needed XML-File to the standard folder C:\Users\{YourName}\AppData\Roaming\Affinity\Photo\1.0\Workspaces" and start AP.

 

In my case there are two different workspaces (Painting, Photoediting). 

 

After setting up the workspace(s) i copied it (them) to a folder, renamed it (them) and created the following script inside this folder:

@echo off & setlocal
echo This batch file sets the workspace of
echo Affinity Photo and starts the program!
echo.

REM Set workspace
REM -------------
set workspace=none
set choice=0

echo Available Workspaces:
echo ---------------------

echo [1] Painting
echo [2] Photoediting
echo. 

set /p choice="Please select workspace: "

if %choice% == 1 set "workspace=Painting.xml"
if %choice% == 2 set "workspace=Photoediting.xml"


REM If nothing was selected, stop script
REM ------------------------------------
if %workspace% == none ( 
goto END
)


REM Source is the current directory of this script and the filename
REM Destination is the folder where the workspace is saved (with correct filename)
REM ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
set "source=%~dp0%workspace%"
set "destination=C:\Users\(Username)\AppData\Roaming\Affinity\Photo\1.0\Workspaces\Photo\WindowProfile.xml"


REM copy workspace file
REM -------------------
copy %source% %destination%


REM Start Affinity Photo
REM --------------------
start "" "C:\Program Files\Affinity\Affinity Photo\Photo.exe"


REM End script
REM ----------
:END

 

For safety reasons i kept a copy of the last created WindowProfile.xml in the workspace-folder (if something goes wrong with the copy process at any time).

 

Created under Windows 10. Use it at your own risk ;)

[AD and XP Pen Star 04]

Hi everyone, one short question...

 

When i read the system requirements for AD i found this:

• Wacom (and other WinTab devices) support

 

I have an "XP Pen Star 04" tablet. Does AD (and AP) work with this tablet?

 

Thanks and greetings from vienna

[Glowing Edges and Free Transform]

Hi,

 

alrighty then :) (i never make a false double click when i need it)

 

Thanks for the hint, works perfectly

[Glowing Edges and Free Transform]

Hello Team,

 

i really like Affinity Photo, you did a great job. Thanks a lot for that :)

 

 

I've worked for a time with Photoshop and in AP i miss just two little things (for the moment)

 

 

*A filter like Glowing Edges in PS:

I found "Detect Edges " in the filter menu but it's not the same, too less configuration possibilities

 

 

* Free Transform like in PS:

The Wrap Mesh Tool makes a good job but i miss the possibility to click somewhere inside the photo and push and pull in whatever direction i want, it's not the same if you can only ´"grap" the photo on the outer edges

 

 

Would be great, if you could implement these two things in the future

 

 

Thanks and greetings from Vienna
