    jbikeler reacted to Texel in Anti aliased edges when filling a selection?   
    Thanks for all your replies.
    I realize my work flow is a little unusual and stems from using features that existed in Paint.Net. I was kind-of using the selection tool as a poor man's boolean shape operator over a raster grid.
    I still hope that Affinity will add antialiasing (or equivalent) as an option to all related tools. Lacerto's Photoshop demo suggests it is a reasonable feature.  I now understand more about how Affinity's layer system works. I'm not sure if it makes AA harder or easier to implement. Perhaps it's merely omitted as infrequently requested by the target market.
    I really wanted just one affordable commercial tool to step up from Paint.Net for a few features that bug me. However, since Affinity has a sale on, I'm going to try Designer as that may meet some of my needs better.

    jbikeler reacted to NotMyFault in Pixel Tool does not fully erase.   
    Thanks a lot.
    I’ not yet fully convinced its related to wet edges.
    i opened the file on iPad, there the wet edges is visible and off, but the issue persists.
    But i noticed something that might cause the issue: you have pixel layers stretching over 2 artboards. This is bad and must be avoided.
    If you
    select one artboard create new pixel layer (inside that artboard) start to use brush or pixel brush everything is fine snapping settings might play into this, never use “move by whole pixels”.

    I would call this a bug - inheriting a setting which is unsuitable, but hiding the control which would allow to deactivate it.
    One more questions, to avoid the same issue in future:
    why is pixel tool inheriting only “enforce”, but not “disable”? does it make a difference if you share brushes across tools? what are the circumstances who trigger inheriting wet brushes? You can reach the "wet edges settings of the brush via "more", and modify the settings

    jbikeler reacted to loukash in Pixel Tool does not fully erase.   
    As a consequence of our findings, I made me new document presets based strictly on integer pixels. E.g. a standard DIN A4 300 dpi document with 3 mm bleed is then 2480×2508 px with 36 px bleed. The actual difference in mm fractions is really negligible.
    With Force Pixel Alignment on, this will already fix all pixel misalignment issues on page 1.
    The next problem in Publisher is the hardcoded vertical spread gap of 30 mm (!). That will bring all pixel objects off the grid vertically, starting page 2. There are workarounds in my aforelinked thread.

    If you create a document with no bleed, or use strictly integer pixel values overall including bleed and page/artboard size and position, and you have Force Pixel Alignment on, then all should be fine. Also remember to use the Pixels view mode.
    As soon as you add a non-integer pixel bleed, all will be off the grid again and won't come back unless you create a new pixel aligned document and copy all previous content over…
    This conceptual flaw and the related bugs is a major p.i.t.a. ever since the Affinity beginning.

    jbikeler got a reaction from blaustift in Affinity for Android   
    I think Affinity would have a good market for this. The only real competitor on the Play store currently is Infinite Designer, which is not as full featured as Affinity Designer (yeah the names are super close ).

    My workflow is primarily on my Windows desktop so this is not a prevalent issue, but I have been wanting to purchase a tablet to sketch and design on the go. Since my phone is Android, and my PC is Windows, I wanted to pursue an Android tablet, preferably the new S7 plus because of its top of the line hardware (it now supports Clip Studio, and Android plays better with Windows than iOS does). The issue comes down to the lack of professional design software/apps, especially in vector art.

    My hope is that Samsung will specifically reach out to Affinity, like they did Clip Studio, and work with them to bring the Affinity suite to at least Samsung products. If that is successful maybe development could proceed to other android devices.

    jbikeler reacted to softsound in QOL improvements artboard tool   
    I had some minor suggestions on the artboard tool that would save me one or two steps.
    Allow the artboard tool to handle custom sizes at creation (Main focus of this post) Allow the artboard tool to create & delete artboard presets Show what size presets currently are. I work with print a lot and affinity artboard presets are currently mobile/device focused, allowing me to enter custom sizes would save me a little time.
    Allowing me to create custom presets / swap presets like affinity already has would be a bonus.
    I included a quick example of what I mean compared to what we currently have.

     

    What we currently have 👇

    An example of how the rename widow could look was also included, affinity pretty much could reuse their rename preset window.

    Every time I use artboards I think man if only they made this one step instead of two or three.

    jbikeler reacted to JI--CR in Affinity for Android   
    I agree, I think an Android version-especially of Affinity Photo, if not the whole suite--would be fabulous. It's a shame that you only offer software for Apple IOS when Andoid is considerably more popular worldwide. Although the design industry loves Mac and Apple products, many have opted for Windows and Android for economic reasons.
     
    I know this stat is 2 years old but consider this:
    iOS sales 2018: 217.72 million
    Android sales 2018: 1.56 billion!
    Thanks for the consideration.

    Android tablet getting pretty good. And there is no combination in it if you add the affinity suite. There is no full creative apps in Android it would be amazing if we could have apps like the affinity suite. 
    Thanks and I hope y'all think about it

    jbikeler reacted to Yschlussel in Main iPad image?   
    I realize I might sound a bit loony, but here goes...
     
    I just purchased the iPad app and am starting to lean it, but one thing which bothers me is the main image upon opening the app, and that same image on the interactive tutorials.
     
    If I would show the app to my wife, she would ask me why I’m looking at the bare back/ legs of another woman. I know it sounds a bit old-fashioned, but I would very much appreciate replacing that image with maybe some beautiful scenery; national park, waterfalls etc. etc. etc. Just not a scantily clad woman.
     
    I certainly don’t want to offend anyone with my comment, and I appreciate your understanding of my sensitivities.
     
    Thanks!

    jbikeler reacted to jonathanbeer in Modifier Keys   
    Hi everyone,
     
    The reception to Affinity Photo for iPad has quite rightly been phenomenal. It is, at last, a sign that the the iPad is getting the pro software that the hardware is capable of running.
     
    The features I would most like to see going forward are a floating modifier key panel (like AstroPad has), and external keyboard support.
     
    Modifier keys would allow for more accurate and efficient use of the clone tool (alt click to sample, click to clone) when manually cloning tricky areas that the automated methods cannot deal with.
    They would also allow better access to manipulating the handles of vector paths rather than constantly switching between the Pen and Node tools (on that subject, we need the ability to manipulate the two handles independently which I think is vital for accurate paths).
    A little spacebar key would let the user pan around the image without lifting the Apple Pencil off the screen... I could go on and on.
    Basically they would allow one tool to have multiple states without needing to switch tools or lose the accuracy of the Pencil by requiring a clumsy finger gesture.
     
    External keyboard support would be fantastic for quickly switching between tools, deselecting, re-selecting, quick access to the Fade command etc.
    Increased efficiency for power users basically.
     
    In summary, I'd love to be able to complete those finickity and tedious retouching tasks that we all have to do as quickly and painlessly as possible.
     
    Thank you again for a really astonishing piece of software. I can't wait to see how it develops.

    jbikeler reacted to Chris B in Photo for iPad: Undo button should be on the left hand side!   
    Hey chopinheir,
     
    You can switch to left handed mode from Preferences > Interface but this will also switch your tools and studios around. It might be worth giving it a go to see if it works better for you. It would be nice to be able to customise elements of the UI though.

    Please add the two finger undo gesture ! Since procreate has made it quite standard, I would greatly appreciate this. The undo buttons on down right corner are such a pain, I just play with the software but can't imagine get in production with a function that is so badly placed for right handed illustrator ; right hand is for the pencil not functions
