White balance not working with not RAW files
MEB replied to NZezula's topic in V2 Bugs found on macOS
Hi cmyoung, Welcome to Affinity Forums I advise you to change your username to prevent spammers from collect your e-mail. You can do so here. Regarding the White Balance, there's a few issues here I need to log/update. Besides the picker button, it doesn't seem to be working correctly with processed files (JPG's, TIFF etc). The tint slider is fixed/ignored. Curves has the same issue with the button (and mouse cursor) but is working for me. Make sure you click and drag (just a bit) for the point to appear in the curves graph. I will take this to the dev team as well - a click should be enough. If you have the image above as a RAW, try the White Balance Tool in Develop Persona which does work correctly. Sorry for the trouble this is causing you. -
Hi @KKalma, Welcome to Affinity Forums Thanks for your feedback. The only workaround I know when several letters are affected is to enlarge (scale up) the text (or document depending on the case/convenience) x times, expand the strokes while the text is big, then scale down again the same factor. Any chance you can provide one of your fonts (the one shown on your screenshot above) to add to out report/logs to be checked/tested against new code? Thanks.

Hi @Kdyne, Welcome to Affinity Forums Affinity Photo doesn't support Fuji’s Film simulations nor any vendor specific camera features, sorry. As David mentioned already Capture One does support them as does Lightroom and Fuji's proprietary software.

Hi @nemoDreamer, Welcome to Affinity Forums Thanks for your feedback. This is a known issue that's already logged with dev. I've updated/bumped the report to bring it up to devs attention again.

Hi @kiararey, Welcome to Affinity Forums If you use the rounded cap it should align the lines perfectly. Here's some tips that may help you (no sound). Note that before I start a new line in the three with the Pen Tool I press ESC to deselect the last node/line I've drawn otherwise it connects everything. The tree on the left is just a bunch of separate lines that I've grouped in the end. The tree I've drawn on the right is still a bunch of separated lines but all placed in the same object layer thus they behave like a single object when selected - if you later select that tree then go to menu Layer > Geometry > Divide, it's then separated in all individual lines each one with its own layer. tree.mp4

Affinity Publisher - effects, basic feather
MEB replied to Iztok's topic in Feedback for the Affinity V2 Suite of Products
Hi @Iztok, There's already an internal improvement request to add a Feather FX to Designer/Publisher. This however must be approved first by dev team/management to be implemented and as such there's still no guarantee it will be addd at the moment. You're not the first user requesting it. -
@Hangman Thanks for reporting the issue. I confirm the states are not working on macOS but the button is still functional (all is fine on Windows). There's also issues/inconsistencies with the way it works with the command "Select All" between Personas. I'm logging these to be looked at.
-
Thanks Hangman. I'm checking this internally.
-
Hi @Jason Oates, Welcome to Affinity Forums Adding to what Hangman said above you can alternatively enable "Add New Curve To selected Curves Object" (6th icon in the Mode section on the context toolbar) to keep adding paths to the same object layer instead of creating a new one for each path (assuming that's what you want).

Create a "Clipping Mask" for Presentation
MEB replied to Josh H's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Hi @Josh H, Welcome to Affinity Forums Here's a small video showing how to do it (no sound). I've used a gray gradient (rather than white) just to increase the contrast with the transparent (subtracted) rounded rectangles in the clip below. mask_movie_small.mp4 -
That's is correct but does not answer the question, it just describes the use of the function.I meant generally speaking In which context/project types you need to move and keep a line mis-aligned on purpose with the pixel grid? It certainly is irrelevant if you are painting/drawing an illustration for example (unless it's a small pixel based illustration - a small icon or bitmap character for a game etc).
-
Move By Whole pixels and why it's used in a context of a pixel perfect context/project was discussed various times before (1 , 2). As other subjects It easy to understand when you have to deal with the problem in practise but it may sound vague in theory. Can you point out a specific use case where you want Move By Whole Pixels turned on and Force Pixel Alignment turned off? Move By Whole Pixels is intended to be used when you explicit need to place certain pixels off the pixel grid in a pixel perfect project.

Affinity Inflated 3D Text Effect
MEB replied to KyKyDesign's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Hi @KyKyDesign, I'm not aware of any able to manipulate 3D text like that. Most of them work with basic/straight extrude operations, rounding more or less the edges but still clearly "flat" 2d based (like Art Text from BeLight software or Eye Candy from Exposure Software), sorry. Maybe someone else is aware of more alternatives. In Affinity maybe the 3D and Bevel/Emboss Layer effects and a proper rounded/cartoonish font can help you get closer but you still have to make some manual edits (light, reflections and shape distortions) to enhance the cartoonish effect. -
Affinity Inflated 3D Text Effect
MEB replied to KyKyDesign's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Hi @KyKyDesign, Welcome to Affinity Forums No, that type of effect is not possible to achieve easily/natively with Layer Effects (maybe with 3D and Bevel/Emboss effects and a proper rounded/cartoonish font you can get close) or any type of 3d operation involving shapes since Affinity do not have such tools. It can be done drawing manually or approximated (maybe) using an external plugin in Affinity Photo. -

Can you attach the crash report to your reply please? Here's how to find them: -

MEB replied to pasvorto's topic in V2 Bugs found on Windows
Where are the RAW files stored? If you move one to the desktop and try to open from there does it crashes too? -
verson 2.4 will not load a NEF file without crashing
MEB replied to pasvorto's topic in V2 Bugs found on Windows
It's not crashing for me neither in macOS nor in Win10. If you go to menu Edit > Settings and disable hardware acceleration in the Performance section then open the RAW file does it crash for you? If not can you please list your laptop specs (including graphic card(s). Thanks.
