Liked and shared on Facebook, congrats on winning App of the year!

I don't dispute that, but Adobe is obscenely overpriced...  
 
The current feature set and the roadmap of Affinity products should make a lot pf people question their use of Adobe products.
 
But it would be nice to purchase Photo at the same discount as Designer :)
 
 
PS. There desperately needs to be a credible DAM and an import from Lightroom would be fantastic!!!

Hi everyone
 
We're over the moon to announce that Affinity Designer has been recognised by Apple with a prestigious Apple Design Award at WWDC 2015 in San Francisco. Congratulations to the whole SerifLabs team for such a remarkable achievement, 5 years in the making.
 
It's the stuff of dreams, thanks to all our fans and forum participants for helping to make it an awesome reality.

Hi MEB
OK, so it's useless as far as my needs are concerned. I'll continue using it as a stand-alone app and I'll be waiting for the future HDR tool promised for AP.

The creative guys here at Serif Labs knocked up keyboard shortcuts cheat sheets - hope you find them useful!
 
Now updated PDFs for 1.4

Both together

Thanks for creating a brilliant solution Serif and to continue to keep improving it. New features look great, and I noticed a little Star maker there also :)

Will being able to hold down space bar allow me to move around objects as I create them? Aka. Illustrator, Fireworks etc. Still miss this :) Either way, keep up the great work. Looking forward to Publisher also.

Is it just me, or did somebody else also has the impression that creating a BBcode "numbered list" doesn't work here?
 
Let's test, below a numered list:
 
one two three four five  
And the result is ... well it seems it doesn't work here with the forum WYSYWYG editor!  <_< :wacko:
 

Hi everyone
 
In case you didn't know, AFFINITY PHOTO HAS LAUNCHED and is in the Mac App Store now.
 
I could say a ton about how fantastic the app is and give you so much information, but it's already out there on our website, so I'll just give you some links!

Hi, for customers additional beta version 1.5.1.54 no longer works. yesterday is work.
"Beta version no longer valid". I thought for customers remains the possibility of beta usage and also at new beta.
Why is this so now?

Status: Customer Beta
Purpose: Fixes
Requirements: Purchased Affinity Photo (1.5.1)
Mac App Store: Not Submitted
 
Download: 1.5.2 - Beta 4
 
Hello everyone,
 
This is the latest in a series of customer beta builds intended to improve the stability of the new 1.5.1 App Store version of Affinity Photo. We'll be doing these for a few weeks, then we will update the App Store version. This beta will sit alongside the App Store version and not interfere with it - although your settings will not be shared between the two versions.
 
As this is a stability beta, it is suitable for production work and should be used in preference to the App Store version if you need any of the fixes it contains.
 
 
Fixes
 
- Numerous stability improvements and fixes.
 
 
Thanks,
 
Affinity Photo Team     :ph34r:

*****UPDATE: WINNER HAS BEEN ANNOUNCED*****
 
...and we have a winner! DRUM ROLL PLEASE...
 
Congratulations to Katie Porter!  :D
 
For those who didn't win, we are just putting together some freebie content we will be offering up on the Affinity Blog next week so I hope that softens the blow a bit and I hope you like them!
 
Thanks to all who took part, we really appreciate all your support  :wub:

As you may know, we now have a few iPad Pros at Affinity HQ and will be starting to devote more time to developing versions of Affinity for it in the coming months.
 
They are incredible bits of kit, and we think—especially in conjunction with the Pencil (and Affinity when it's available!)—the iPad Pro will be a serious tool for creatives.
  Want to get your hands on one? We're entering anyone who helps spread our amazing App of the Year news on social media into a free draw!   All you need to do is:   Follow us on Twitter and retweet this tweet   OR   Like our Facebook page and share this post   The winner will be chosen at random and announced on this forum thread sometime on Friday the 18th December.   Best of luck!   Kate

Check out the sneak peek of the HDR and 360 image editing features coming to Affinity Photo 1.5!
 
Version 1.5 features announced today include:
 
• Advanced HDR merge producing full 32-bit linear colour space images • An entirely new workspace for tone mapping • Focus stacking to bring depth to multiple combined images • Batch processing for smoother, faster workflow • Macros to record and replay a set of commands • An all-new way to edit 360 degree images   Some much anticipated features to look forward too here, coming soon to Affinity Photo...  :)  

Is the purchase multi-platform? I don't see an option to buy both together, either. I also cannot find any information on how long it is supported for? A year? The 1.5 branch? The  1.* branch?

Hi, I'm Matt Priestley and I'm one of the Affinity developers. I'll try to help out on any topic, but particularly anything relating to tools, views and document drawing as they're the bits I'm mostly responsible for writing.
 
Feel free to join me and introduce yourself, too! :)

I too much prefer the original icons. The icons give a visual message of what they do, especially the Publisher icon compared to the new version. Why does AFFINITY have to follow a trend? Most thing come round full circle and only dead fish swim with the current.
I hate to criticise as I am a great fan of AFFINITY and the way you guys interact with users.

As if we didn't have enough good stuff to tell you today with our amazing pair of app updates, we learned this afternoon that Affinity Photo is the Best Mac App of 2015!
 
We can't quite believe it, but it's true! That makes it best photo app too, but it’s also BEST ANY KIND OF MAC APP OF THE YEAR! Best App! :) Amazing, thank you Apple! This is what developers dream of!
 
There's not too much more to say except thank you, to Apple of course but also to everyone that has helped us shape the app into what it is. Pop over to our blog to read and see a little more.
 
Thank you, Dale.
