Hi all,
 
The team have released the latest updates (1.4.2) for Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer, which focus on bug-fix updates, stability improvements and performance.
 
Visit your Mac App Store and click on the Updates page to get the latest releases now.
 
Key improvements
Fix for converting between widegamut RGB and sRGB profiles causing incorrect colours Fix for converting colour profile/colour model not undoing correctly for inner glow effects Fix for occasional crash with arrow shape Fix for Rasterise causing layer effects to appear the wrong size if they were present on a scaled object Fix for A1 (Press Ready) preset having the wrong dimensions for an A1 sheet Fix for tool shortcut keys on international keyboards Fix for scaling issues during copy/paste of text items Improved RTF clipboard support Slightly thinner text tool caret No longer output file paths to PDF export, only use file names (for improved privacy) Fix for line weight incorrectly scaling based on object size when applying Styles even when 'Scale with object' was deselected in the Stroke panel Many PSD compatibility improvements, particularly when using 16 bit documents Singleclick in the Art text tool no longer creates a new Art text object if you are already in caret mode on an Art text object Improved SVG font export compatibility Fix for SVG export generating invalid IDs Fix for vector export of cropped bitmaps Fix for PDF import of large images and soft masks   Though the focus is mainly on fixes this time we’ll be adding more exciting new features very soon in the upcoming 1.5 updates... In the meantime you can check out the Affinity Designer 1.5 sneak peek video here.   All the best!   Kate

You can try going to update tab in the App Store and refresh with CMD+R. It is working in most territories but sometimes it take awhile.

I think we might get a few more people in our little corner of the internet soon!
 

v. 1.3.5 is today published: what should be the Lens Corrections?

Google has just announced that their Google Nik Collection composed of seven Photoshop plug-ins is now free for everyone.

Currently Analog Efex Pro 2, Color Efex Pro 4, Silver Efex Pro 2 work with Affinity Photo. HDR Efex Pro 2 only works partially.

Last night got this error.
 

 
AD Beta 1.5.2.56 on windows, file was already created with an older version of AD, did some changes in latest beta, tried to save it and got error. 
 
Also tried save as, and export; both produced a 0 kb file. Same error if saving in different locations.
 
Local hdd, no dropbox, no AV, no USB stick, administrator account, no blocked permissions, clean installed beta.
 
This morning tried again and it worked.  -_-   
 
LE: Argh, should have posted in Designer Beta forum, my bad.

Things I have heard you (collectively) say:
"early autumn" "and we will release it on the app store when we feel it is ready" "should...couple months...maybe" You guys make GREAT software. And despite my frustration, I still plan to support it. You have a long way to go in forecasting / publishing timelines.
 
 
 
Oh, and separately, regarding DAM:
"No, there's no ETA yet. It was announced just a few months ago."  
Pssst, its a YEAR later.
