Totally agree, if its going in it must be up to the task in hand, you make a valid PointPaulIEC.

The importance of one feature over another is quite personal, so whats important to one maybe very low on anothers list. You are right when you say that there are external tools out there, but to have to leave your application to do something means the application your using is incomplete and does not meet the users requirements. As Mewnatica rightly says this is a low hanging fruit for the developers.

COREL DRAW HAD A FEATURE CALLED VECTORISE. IT WORKED VERY WELL, WE USED IT TO CREATE VYNAL LOGO’S. THAT WAS IN 1989. Take a look at coreldraw.com history vectorize

Taking a raster image and then porting it into another application to to convert it to a vectored graphic, is not acceptable in my opinion for an efficient work flow. This as a software ability has been around since the early 1980’s so come on guy and girls let’s see it in an update to V2.6 in the next couple of months. Efficient work flow is what makes a tool attractive.

Hi Try this see if it works for you in creating a signature macro. Create a PNG image on a transparent background of your required signature. Save it where you can find it. Open an Image Go to Maro and press record. 1)ADD Mask (It should be the current layer) 2)Open Filters, Select Apply Image (pick Your Signature) 3) adjust as you wish. 4 )Invert mask 5) Stop Macro Recording. 6) Test Macro 7) Save Macro to Library 😎 Use Macro again Move and Size to preference. Hope this helps 20220902211852.mp4

I recieve some designs, in dxf format, be intrested to know how others prepare thier DXF files for import into Affinity Designer. It would be nice if Affinity Designer was able to read in a DXF file export from Autocad or other applications that produce them. Also if a DWG file could be imported, though I understand that there maybe licensing issues for DWG.

My Appologies

I recieve some designs, in dxf format, be intrested to know how others prepare thier DXF files for import into Affinity Designer. It would be nice if Affinity Designer was able to read in a DXF file export from Autocad or other applications that produce them. I know that DXF is not a hot favorite as an export these days, I also know that it does not support the co-ordinate dimensions details but so long as the drawing unit is known ( Generally 1:1 ) its not an issue if scale is important. Also if a DWG file could be imported, though I understand that there maybe licensing issues for DWG.

Sky replacement in Affinity is straight forward, and covered above, but just seen the Sky replacement option in the new version 22 of photoshop, which I have to say is impressive, would be a good productivity tool in affinity. Does anyone know if a feature like this or better is planned for Affinity Photo?

I get sent just DXF and DWG files, it would be great if I could just open them with Affinity Designer instead of having to use a DWG or DXF converter.

Hi all, thank you for your prompt reply,, I as soon as I get in front my my pc I will try again and let you know. The tool works fine on my IPad so I can’t be to far of base. once again thank you all.

Hi I am new to Affinity photo, I have a user problem or a bug of some description. I am using version 1.6.5.123 on windows 10.My hardware is a AMD Ryzen 5 with 32 GB ram and a NAVIDA GeForce GTX 1060 6 GB graphics card. I have been trying to use the selection free hand tool, I have tried Freehand, Polygon and magnetic lasso, I have set it to new, add but the problem is the same. That is everything works as expected until I try to close the selection. I have selected the end point of the selection to close and I have tried to double click. Each time the selection disappears, I even tried to copy , thinking maybe the selection outline was not displaying, the selection had cancelled. I have watched tutorials on the use of the tool, I think I am doing it right. Am I missing something or is there a problem with the software? Thanks for any help or ideas.

There is a need to be able to manipulate the text in photo as you can in designer, this is quite a basic feature (I don't mean easy to do.) In this area Affinity Photo lags way behind Photoshop, so please add it.

I would Like a lightroom replacement, have been playing with rawtherapee and I have found it to be very good, but it just does not feel right for me, as I do like the work flow of lightroom.

Thanks for the response, now you have explained it its obvious, I can't believe I did not get my head around that one.:-)
