AbapocaEcosy reacted to nickdaum in Google Nik Collection is now free for everyone.
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.

AbapocaEcosy reacted to RandomInteger in Pixel Tool and other things
Hi guys,
i am really impressed by your tools. For long time now i got rid of Adobe and it worked... well, medium. I have multiple tools. Each for one specific task. Your tools manage to get all these things together in one awsome tool!
But i wouldn't post here if i don't have some ideas on how to improve the workflow:
1. In Photo:
The pixel tool has an command to remove pixels which is great! I would ask for a 2nd alternate command the alt-Button. Currently if i press it, i have to wait until that lens thing comes up to select a color. But when you are on pixel-art it is mostly not needed because you are zoomed-in anyway. It would make the workflow a lot faster if alt-click just picks the color underneath it - no lens, nothing fancy. That way my finder can rest on alt and ctrl. the whole time.
[i tried with switching with i and b, but every time the pixel-tool gets replaced to the brush-tool. Which should not happen since i have chosen the pixel-tool. Maybe i will have to assign another key to the pixel tool (have not tested that)]
2. In Photo:
Increasing the size of the pixel-tool (by Keyboard) does not make a lot of sense 1.2 Pixel is not logical. It should also be an Int like when you drag the slider. And with it the sizes should go up in a regular fashion, either as round or square tip. Having a size of 2px still gives me only 1 pixel, should be 2x2px.
3. In Photo:
Please, let me edit the composite-alpha channel directly (like in Photoshop). This would make the work speed faster for certain things.
4. In Designer:
I would love to see, that every point/node/vertex could be (multi-)selected and then have the line-thickness adjusted. The pressure-curve is nice for an overall feel but the selected points could be like a multiplicator on top of it.
5. In both:
When i export something as .png i see "PNG - 24 bit". It makes me nervous every time. Can you adjust that it also shows 32-bit option or something?
And while we are on the topic of exporting... support for DDS and TGA would be great!
Thank you!

AbapocaEcosy reacted to Dave Quail in Affinity Photo Beta expired
Hi Guys,
Started up this morning, and I get the message that my Customer Beta has expired, and then I am taken directly here to the Beta forum.
Did a lot of work in AP yesterday without this problem.
I do own a registered copy of the program.
Please advise, as I would like to continue with my work.
Do I have to go back to the last full release?
Thanks!

AbapocaEcosy reacted to PaulAffinity in Affinity Photo Customer Beta - 1.5.2.63
Agreed. It IS a WACOM driver problem exacerbated by individual win configurations. Google 'Wacom windows 7 problems'......
Speak to WACOM.
Enjoy P.

Looking a this old post, I guess it's best to close it. It's outdated and proper list is kept on company website.

AbapocaEcosy reacted to MarvinR in [1.5.2.63 Beta] Beta Symbol Shows on all Existing Non-Beta afphoto files
Since installing 1.5.2.63 notice that the Beta symbol ("B") shows on all afphoto files including afphoto files generated from the release version. It can get confusing as to if an afphoto file was created in the release version or the beta version. I have mine organized by putting all beta output into one folder. The bad thing is that if I double click on an afphoto file that I want to open in the release version it will always open the beta version.
It's not a big problem but could get confusing.
Running Windows 10 with latest updates.
Thanks.

AbapocaEcosy reacted to wonderings in no pantone colour on outline?
So I was having trouble with a certain effect I wanted with illustrator and decided to give it a shot with Designer 1.5.5. I got the effect I wanted with little fuss, it was great. Problem is I need the font to have a pantone outline. When I use the outline tool under effects I find my colour (needs a search option here, painful to find the right number) and select it. Now as a test I made a box filled with my pantone colour (152 C). Dropped the PDF in Indesign, the text outlined does not show a pantone but the box I made does show a pantone. Is this an issue with the outline tool in Designer or is there something I am missing?

AbapocaEcosy reacted to harrym in [1.5.2.62(beta)] Macro issue
Hi,
Created a very simple macro to resize files.
The macro contains two steps
1. change units to inches
2. resize document to 12 x 18, 300dpi, Lanczos 3 Non-Separable
After creating and saving the macro I open files and select the macro it works correctly taking the same amount of time to complete the resize document part as would doing it manually.
If I close AP down, re-start it, open another file and apply the macro it completes instantly.
I suspect the resample setting has defaulted to bilinear as the rendering time between the two resample options are quite marked.
So three questions;
1. Is there a bug when using Resize Document in a macro?
2. How can you find out what setting are actually being used in a macro?
Just checked out this folder
C:\Program Files\Affinity\Affinity Photo Customer Beta\Resources\Affinity Photo\en-US.lproj
3. Where are macro's stored?
Thanks
Regards

AbapocaEcosy reacted to Dale in Affinity Photo is Apple's Best Mac App of 2015
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.

AbapocaEcosy reacted to Schubi63 in symbols: what does the dashed orange stripe stands for?
Hi,
I have learned that a symbol is marked as symbol by getting the suffix "(Symbol)" but also by getting an orange stripe on the left in the layers panel.
But what means a dashed stripe (see "logo banner" in the screenshot)?
Thanks,
Stefan.
