pixelworker

It's such a great and easy to use product. I can't praise you enough for this right decision for a unintrusive copy protection. I love buying such software . No hassle with complicated copy protection were can only activate your software two times (such copy protection is a pita, I own a lot of such programs were even changing from your system HDD needs a reactivation from everything)

Thanks :)

I would like to have a fast way to collaps many layers to one pixel layer. Like in photoshop reduce to one layer. When I mock-up I need to work fast and I often want just 2 or 3 big layers. In affinity designer I have to goup when first, then pixelate them and so on. I want just select a couple of layers and then press one key/button to have a resulting pixel layer from these layers. I actually doing screen shots at the moment and past them again in affinity design because it's quicker. :) I hope the use case is clear?

I often have the situation in the Affinity Designer that the whole picture is selected or at least everything in my zoomed viewport is selected. I cancel it with the mouse then. Is there a way to cancel a selection created by e.g. the free hand or painting selection tool by keyboard? ESC doesn't work.

+1 what paristo said, makes absolutly sense. good to hear that'm not the only one who didn't like it ;-)

I'm new to Affinity designer, I mainly use it to make UI design mock ups. At the moment I'm working on a redesign, mostly colors, for an existing UI with pixel assets. I have a lot of small icons with aliasing in the font or icon where I have to recolor to a exact rgb value for the main color (so the green one you see here...). This color could be changed easily with a fill tool, but this doesn't work for the aliased things in the font and in the circle of course. What's the best and fastest way to recolor something like this in AD to an exact rgb value for the background? It's important that the aliasing around the font an circle looks correct too and stays black. What I've tried: - I had no luck with the "recolor" adjustment filter on a layer which works very nice to hit an exact color hue, but it has no luminance control, therefore a lot of colors are not possible to hit (a very light blue for example), the luminance is way off and sometimes I have some colors popping too much, the aliasing looks wrong colored. - The HSL adjustment filter on a layer works to some extend in this example, but it's very difficult to hit an exaclt color value. Also with the luminance control not only the color is changed, but also the grey scale information from the aliasing around the objects . In a nut shell: The font is not black anymore when you use luminance and the aliasing looks wrong colored. (example attached were you see the problem) - After that I tried to remove all saturation to have a grey scale image and add a colored layer on that, but it's very difficult to hit exactly one color with it. - After that I tried the "pixel tool" with "color", but it has the same problem as the "recolor" adjustment filter. No Luminance adaption.

I think it looks very dated, but more important, the lense effect affects what you seeing with it's overlay. You allways have this shade at the top added. Just a simple true zoom would be much better. Have a look at the attachment so see what I mean.

I also have the same question. Any news or way to solve this? I need to recolor existing UI element (mostly flat colored ractagle with some antialiased icon/fonts in it, so I need to recolor the aliasing artefacts too) to a exactely RGB colors for mock ups. And also, why is there no lumiance slider at the "recolor" function, I get get certain blues, like 180,100,75 HSL for example. I need a luminance control for that and have only hue and saturation.

I just purchased AD (great that we have an adobe alternative without renting by the way!), but I have one big workflow problem. When you work with pixels, I want a lossless representation. Therefore only 100%, 200%,300% ... are sufficient. With the mouse I only get small increments, so I mostly get something in between and therefore a very wrong representation with 1px lines (you know how 1px grids looks scaled). I have to use the keyboard all the time for zooming here. I wish there was an mode that could be quickly be enabled/disabled that with pixel mode you zoom in 100% steps even with the wheel. It's really a very big workflow issue for me. I constantly hit ctl++ and ctrl-- after that to round to a 100-ish% zoom to get a lossless representation. Or did I overlooked something, I searched everything, web, manual and forum. Best regards
