Huion has some graphics tablets redesigned and with new drivers
and new firmware equipped. (version 13.15.16) with this series,
there are probably no problems. But the predecessor series makes problems, (version 12.3.7)
when the graphics tablet connected to a Windows PC. Even if no driver is installed.
My guess is that the firmware is the wrongdoer.
According to statement of Huion, can the firmware for these devices not be updated.

Here's a macro that uses Equations to create a "long shadow" effect.  Originally designed for text but works on shapes as well.
Use any colour for your text or object except black
The shadow depth can be increased by immediately running the macro a second or third time (or more)
Shadows are created in groups, so you can change the opacity of the Group to control the shadow opacity
Could probably have created a macro using power duplicate commands to get the same effect but Equations are cool so would like to see more effects created by people using them
The Equation is about as simple as you can get and is shown below
x=x-1
y=y-1

Not bad. Works for me ! ))
Thanx !

Hi Mark, Hi Arb,
without graphics tablet, the new beta works
Thanks all
 

Hey Mark, just pulled out the tablet from the USB slot and the program has responded.
Obviously haven't tried to edit anything yet, but I can now open a photo by clicking the File button.

I use a Huion graphics tablet 1060Plus with pen

Hello Mark,
thanks for the answer.
No, I do not use a Surface Pro

@Arba / @Gnobelix, are you both using a Surface Pro?
 
Yes, once the files have uploaded, they should be deleted. Though we sometimes have a problem where the files haven't uploaded, but are still deleted...

It is a new function in the Windows Beta, available since 1.6.3.98. From this post,
Before then, all you can do if you want to view multiple open photos at the same time is click on the tab and drag it away from the tab bar.

Bonjour.

Dans Windows, la fenêtre flottante est sélectionnable.

I think you mean that with CTRL + 3 the view is 400%, right?

Hi everyone,
 
I recently wrote a post on my blog covering my workflow regarding the steps I follow when I'm editing a portrait. I also made available a PDF file with the same checklist I use so you can download it.
The post is available both is Portuguese and English.

There are also other articles talking about Affinity and other free resources.
Let me know if it was useful.

Cheers

We've just got a lensfun update, which will be available in the next beta :-)

Hello Trinty,
deactivate the stabilizer  and everything works  as you are used to

I agree. However, I think it would be hard to find the help for that without knowing what it is

Hello Norbert,
thanks for sharing 

With this free template you can use the cool symbols function from Affinity Designer in Affinity Photo on you desktop and on your iPad.
