I don't know what's worse scenario incorporating some things into Canva, then killing Affinity or slowly turning it into subscription, ad and ai ridden pile of bloated hot shit. The end is on horizon, sadly
-
Yeah, just saw it. And I'm angry. I get that money must come, but would rather pay subscription to Serif if it's necessary, than see Affinity being inevitably enshitted. f*** what a sad strat of a day.

In V1 I could simply toggle grid visibility with shortcut - it worked for all images. But in V2 toggling doesn't work for newly opened files - I must first open grid dialog, select preset and then toggling works. Why this extra step? This is stupid, massively counterproductive, annoying and unintuitive. 99% of times I just want deafult preset to be loaded. Can this be done or is it again Serif being Serif?

Save studio layout.

I'm working on little program that will handle backing up and also syncing workspaces (from standalone apps to Publisher). Will post about it on forums when it's ready -
V2 Pricing for users V1
gabriel_komorov replied to NBabout's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Exactly. Special snowflakes whine because they are treated equal. Only thing that I totally get is if someone bought V1 in past ~three months now can be a bit bummed. I guess Serif to be totally fair, could offer for those customers refund for V1 if they're willing to upgrade. But even without this... it's still about $200 for full suite of semi-pro apps. Show me a better deal. -

Add a Built-In Font Creator

CorelDraw have (had?) export to ttf, but it was so basic and broken that I don't know anyone who would use it. People are ridiculous in their demnads. We had video editing, 3d software, website builder, font editor. What next? Torrent client, media player?- 19 replies

So... you're complaining about 60% increase in 6+ years time span?
-
First three are essential. If we speak strictly about Affinity Photo you can consider Colour Balance and Selective Colour, also Split Toning may come handy. Vibrance likely won't be useful. Remember that depending of your source photos, there may be some areas which require individual adjustment - that's where masks and brushes will be needed. Genarlly speaking - editing a photo is so much more than applying predefined setting with single click. While basics are easy to grasp, mastering the skill can take months if not years.

Ok, I feel thre's a lot of confusion here. I try to clear things up, and keep it as simple as possible. First of all what you asking for is impossible to answer (what combination of adjustment is needed to make photo look certain way) if we only have "after" photos. Second, there's no magic LUT, adjustment, effect, plugin, whatever, which once applied will give your photos desired feel. That's because each photo needs indivdual treatment - simple as that. Each photo has unique set of values which must be corrected in specified unique way to produce consistent output. And that bring us to third point - your best option is manual editing. Take photo you want to change and play with adjustments - HSL, curves, shadows / contrast. Do it enough times and you'll start to intuitively feel what needs to be done to particular photo for desired effect.

direct import of scans
gabriel_komorov replied to wolau's topic in Feedback for Affinity Photo V1 on Desktop
No, it isn't justified by anything. Even some basic image viewers can scan directly, 32-bit or 64-bit, doesn't matter
