While there are great updates I’m really missing one import tool in retouching. Auto reset of the mixer brush tool. For years using this tool is a standard workflow for most retouchers. And I was very surprised this still isn’t possible in Photo2. This is for me me the main reason to stay working with photoshop.
-
just wondering
-
And oh damn, reinstalling and putting iCloud backup also won’t work anymore. When putting back affinity it sticks installing. Hundreds of hours gone

Hi,
My app kept crashing while I was editing. So I decided to delete it and reinstall it. But all my files were gone!!! Total panic!! Luckily I had an old cloud backup so I could save most of my files.
My how on earth can I reinstall Photo without losing my files (I hope nog saving and exporting them one by one, there must be an other way!).
-
There is in the beta I think...... and i retouche and also d&b a lot. And it just practise to do it without cursor.

In Phocus you use the Hasselblad raw converter. This is written for your camera. Affinity photo uses the raw concrete from the OS. I suggest you always convert your raw files in Phocus or Lightroom. You always get a better result.

What would be great is a shared work folder in the cloud. Start a project on one device and resume working on in on the other device. Save a file directly in the cloud. I use Dropbox a my projects folder. But it would be great if the iPad supports directly working and saving files from this folder without exporting it first.

Yeah it is anoying. And makes it almost impossible to use the brush sometimes
-
When rendering an image in 3d software (Modo in my case) you can render a depth map instead of adding dof in the 3d software. This is a workaround to save a lot of rendering time.
Normaly you apply the depth map in Photoshop in the lens blur filter so you can add real depth of field. In affinity I miss this option.
Also in Photoshop it is possible to generate bump and normal maps. This is not a complex alchoritm. I think you can get a whole lot more users (3d market) to integrate these options in Photo.

Congrats, this is so great. I'm feeling guilty.... I paid to less... your apps are sooooo good (after working with photoshop since '96) I would pay much more for it! I'm going to buy Designer, just to support you guys. I really hope Affinity gets more popular so you business can grow and develop more! Again, thumbs up! You make my job more fun and easier (really I just edited a portrait composition with a lot of layers on y couch!!!)

I'm using Photo for iPad a couple of months now. And the last few weeks also for bigger projects. I only used the desktop version for color correction.
With all the masking and matte painting I think it is really annoying I can't reach some functions with my left hand (thumb). If I mask I switch a lot between foreground and background colors. On a keyboard I use X (and D te reset them to black and white). I miss this completely in Photo for iPad. I always have to select a color by using the color selecter. That's nog so good for a fast workflow. So I prefer the button on the left at the ui. Also transferring the undo button to the left would me sooooooo great.
And maybe, you can set this as an option for the left hand users...

You can also set a keyboard shortcut for it exactly in the same place. Go to Affinity Photo Preferences, Keyboard Shortcuts section, set the first dropdown to Photo and the second to Miscellaneous and set the D shortcut for the following entry: Set Fill to Black and White.
My hero!!!!

Thanks for your wander. And what about the default key? Just like in photoshop, when je press D it automatically apply black/white for foreground/background color. This is very handy, but I can't find something like that in Affinity

of course, can you PM me your mail adres?

Hi,
How can I open a tiff file saved in CMYK profile in Photo? Years ago I saved these files using photoshop. Now I get a transparent canvas in Photo.... how can I open these?
Thanks

When I use the refine (select) tool and want to use the z key to zoom in or out it quits the refine tool and all my selection work is gone...please help this out of the world before the 1.6 release ......
-
It would be great if there is a way to quickly swap between foreground and background colours. While in a masking process it takes a lot time now to swap between the colours. I also miss this option a lot on the destop version. I think with me a lot of other users would agree with me
-
I edited a picture and now I want to place this picture in an other excising image. I can place from cloud or Apple photo’s. But I can’t find an option to place it from my Affinty project gallery.
Is there a way to do this?

Hi All!
My name is Jorge De Silva, and I'm a Portuguese photographer & filmmaker based in Switzerland.
I am (soon: was) an adobe user for years, but now I decided to simplify my life, and go away from all the adobe suite. Not only dropping Photoshop, but also premiere, lightroom, illustrator, etc...
I discovered Affinity Photo a couple weeks ago, and I was super impressed, so I decided to ask serif for a test program,/ partnership!
It turned out that now is my main photo editing / manipulator software.
There are a lot of things that I still need to test, and a lot of things that I will probably request, but this is looking pretty good already.
Feel free to join me on my social media networks and check my website also :)
All the best,
Jorge De Silva
What I did; replaced photoshop with Affinity Photo (of course), replaced Lightroom with DXO OpticsPro 11 (it is sooooo good) and Phocus for my Hasselblad, replaced Premiere with Davinci Resolve (color correction heaven, and they have a free working version) and replaced After Effects with Motion 5 (learning curve sucks but I get there). It cost me under €400 for al the software :)
-
I use the 1.6 demo now for a moth as a pro. That means at least 5 hours of retouching, compositing, color-grading etc with this piece of software. And it is great, I had none issue's with it!!! I sold y iPad Pro to get the new one, but it is still delayed, so I still have to wait to use the iPad version for my pro work.

I never introduced my self. I'm a photographer/retoucher/film maker and cg artist from the Netherlands. You can find my work at www.nickfranken.com
Since 1997 I'm a notorious photoshop user :). And since the 1st beta a Lightroom user. I lover multimedia and I love computers. Since two months I use Affinity Photo and since two weeks I don't even have a Creative Cloud subscription any more. I also switched from LR to DXO and Phocus for my Raw conversion. And from Adobe premiere to Davinci Resolve. After Effects is switched to Motion 5.
Affinity woke me up from a Adobe dream, because of switching to Affinity I had to find other software too. And I discovered that Adobe isn't the best creative software maker! DXO is so much better compared to LR, and Davinci Resolve is heaven compared to Premiere Pro. So people of Serif, thanks. No I have better software for less money!
Keep up the good work!
-
Can't you guys collaborate with DXO optics? Would be great, their RAW conversion software is the best out there (especially handeling noise). Together you can make aa Lightroom killer app so the whole world can be very happy (oh and of course integrate Hasselblad RAW :) )

yeah, I want to know too :)
