    It's very subiective opinion. I wholeheartly despise Photoshop and Illustrator. I'm sick every time I must do some work with them. They are powerful but also one of most unintuitive and illogical pieces of s... oftware, worse being only Gimp Not to mention bloat. On other hand, Corel up to X6 while lacking in some areas, had quintessential UI and UX. So for me Affinity is middle ground between those two, better than Adobe, and and comparable with Corel (here better, there worse, but overall - comparable) You can build working business with Inkscape and Gimp if you really want.

    I experienced regular crashes when editing constarints in Designer and it's personas. Sometimes on first change, sometimes after few clicks in Constraints panel. Standalone programs are not affected as far as I can tell

    +1 it's intuitive and logical behavior

    What title says. Steps to reproduce: place picture stretch it to cover bleeds, switch to Photo, marque selection can't be drawn on bleed. However when moving existing marque it can overlap bleed with no problem.

    Hold your horses boy, and take a look at this ugly bat

    All config files are stored in /AppData/Roaming/Affinity what you do with this knowledge is up to you Damn, you mean you can't run it? I planned to share .bat but whole thing was hacked in a rush, so it's not prettiest piece of code. Besides is better to give useres something that just works, no questions asked. Oh and this way it can have nice icon too

    Not official one. But here's short summary: Photo - for all photo, bitmap, raster editing needs (like Photoshop or Corel Photo Paint) Designer - for all things vector (it's middle ground between technical capabilities of Corel Draw and artistic Illustrator) Publisher - for putting all above togheter in publications like books, multi page leaflets, brochures etc. Features overlap due to interchangeability of file formats, so you can edit Designer file in Photo or vice versa, but each program has it's own general purpose

    So here's Spaceman - workspace manager for Affinity I created due to lack of native solution. It can backup and restore workspaces. Also allows syncing between Publisher personas and standalone apps.

    Due to lack of native solution I present you Spaceman It allows you to backup and restore workspaces of Photo, Designer and Publisher. There's also sync option if you want to have same UI in Publisher personas and standalone applications. Spaceman is command line tool with very straightforward operation, backups are created in folder from where it is started. Feel free to suggest further improvements and give me a shot if you found bug! Edit: There was a problem with compiled .exe so now I'm sharing .bat file instead (and also for peace of mind of @CLC ) Spaceman.bat

    In Publisher each persona has it's own shortcuts, now when I'm exporting them what is included? All three sets of shortucts or maybe only those for currently configured persona? Same for import - say I've exported shortcuts from Designer. Now I want use them in Publisher's Designer. So I go to Shortcuts > Designer > Import will it work?

    Maybe it's time for two monitor setup
  13. gabriel_komorov
    Had same weird problem, but there's a workaround - as source set screen instead of window, then canvas will be recorded
  14. gabriel_komorov
    Thanks man! Was going to do the same but it's hard to find time
  15. gabriel_komorov
    Yes, I know. This is the same as in Corel It seems that I'm just stupid... Coming from Corel it never came to my mind that sharp node is already "curved". I assumed that it works same way. F***in LOL at me for not checking obvious . Now it makes sense
  16. gabriel_komorov
    So, this is something I can't get used to and what I believe is some kind of bug - because it makes simple task apparently imposible to do (at least in straightforward way). Let's say we want to draw shape like this: Now, what is trivial in Corel... corel.mp4 is impossible in Designer: designer.mp4 I've worked with Corel for past 12 years and IMO it's curve calculations and node shaping feels more natural and logical than those in Designer. Convice me otherwise. And if this is intentional, then can you explain what advantages this have over Corel's implementation? Why it's this way? For now - wtf Affinity? wtf.mp4

    Too many fonts! Try reducing to 2-3 fonts (including styles, header can be treted as logo, so it doesn't count). If you need more emphasis on something use rather color or size instead of another font While background image is pretty it has very vague connection with content. Not really criticism here, just observation. Colors are very aggresive and not really fitting togheter - they make something I call visual puke If you struggle with palette, there's a lot of online tools which will help you Margins, aligments etc. - why text about competition is far closer to edge than icons on left? Same goes for top and bottom, and few other places Be consistent - if you decide that background for text frames is green, use same green for most of them. Reserve different color for something special, that should pop Text kerning, spacing, leading, size - Well... it's wrong in too many places. Let's just say that "justify all" isn't always best solution. Also pink titles on left - remove line break in top one. It's just one place, and disturbs spacing in whole block. General advice is to stick with established rules and be consistent - use same style for all similiar elemnts. And remember - rules can be broken to achieve extraordinary results, bu ONLY if you master working within their limits first

    Select white area, then duplicate it to new layer and now you can clip images inside of it

    I've jus got this insane idea - what if making changes to isometric grid would affect already created iso objects? Want artwork to be at slighty different angle? Change iso grid properties, click "apply to all" or something and BAM - everything on isometric grid gets translated to reflect new projection.

    Couldn't agree more. It such basic feature that would greatly improve quality of life, but for some reason Serif is hesitant to implement it, despite being among oldest and frequent feature request
  22. gabriel_komorov
    Bullshit excuse. If this was the case then most games would be iOS exclusive, meanwhile Windows is where gaming lives, ant it doesn't stop game devs from taking full advantage of GPUs

    Another trick you can use is create symbol from photo frame then duplicate it as much as you need. Replacing image in one of them will also change image in all others
  24. gabriel_komorov
    In promo video there are briefly shown photo frames, and when one is scaled others are automatically too. How to achieve such effect? I tried with symbols but replacing image in one results in same image being added to others. Is there designated feature for this, or we must use some tricks?
  25. gabriel_komorov
    Corel is very picky when comes to opening such files, it's not only you
