I don't even know where to post this. Just seen Affinity's Facebook post about giving away the entire Affinity Suite free for 90 days, with a 50% option to buy as well. I'm telling everyone I know to get this, try it for 90 days, or buy it if they want. People trapped indoors during this coronavirus lockdown and having something like this to learn or just doodle about with is a very smart decision by all of you at Serif. So thanks, and if I didn't already own the suite, I'd buy it again. In fact, might just buy Affinity Designer for iPad as a gift.

You need to calm down TonyO. This is a forum. We have free speech. Get over it. No insults from myself or anyone else here apart from yourself. -
I had a scary 'tin foil hat' thought the other day - (insert image of Morpheus looking deadpan into the screen) what if Adobe are paying Affinity to not release a vector text warping function?
-
Text on a path using Affinity Publisher is the only way I can see how to do it using Affinity menus. But then that's been in Publisher since release. The only other way I think in Designer is to create the text, convert to curves, ungroup group, add as curve, press A then individually pull the nodes to a projected path holding shift. It's not fun. Affinity must be holding out until version 2.0. There is no logical reason we should be waiting five years for this feature.

Hi Chris, At work at the moment. Will do if it happens again. From what I remember I shifted to Photo persona, CTRL clicked on my pixel layer, to select it, then I clicked on the contextual tab 'Refine', did my edits, then selected 'Add selection to new layer' in the refine options, this was when it crashed. Maybe the CTRL clicking to select the layer, then going into refine is what is causing this, instead of simply selecting a new area, then refine etc the usual way (with no previous CTRL clicking selection).
-
Loaded up Affinity Publisher, have an image selection, go to Photo Persona and then select the image, Refine Mask, edit the image to fine tune the masking, select 'Add as new layer', program crashes out. Just happened twice.

In the same way that Adobe (pantomime boooooooooo) does their acredited certification for Photoshop/Illustrator etc, does Affinity have any plans in the future to do their own 'Affinity Certified' certificate? You could have a foundation, intermediate and advanced level. I would most definitely be interested!

Much appreciated Alfred.

Thanks. Just getting my head around this Publisher software. Also thanks. I'll have a play around on Publisher.
-
Thanks. Still not working. I highlight the section (left side), try drag it onto right page, I still just get the right page. Likewise, darg the right side of the master onto a left facing page, still only get the left master page?!
-
I appreciate you're trying to help, but my query is specifically about Affinity Publisher.
-
Master Pages - around 7:29, he drags the the Master Page onto a sheet, but it's only showing the left side of the Master Page. How do you drag the right side of the Master Page to paste onto a sheet?

I was expecting to see some indie vector text warping software for a tenner. $60? I purchased both Affinity Photo and Designer combined, for not much more. I'm only just starting to use Affinity Publisher, looks like it does vector text on a path, but haven't experiemented with it yet. The golden question is - can it do the Netflix logo? Affinity Publisher full product being released today - rubs hands. It's been nestled in my pre order account for weeks.
-
- What he said. Again, please Affinity, can you include an extensive vector text manipulation tool? It's too far gone now to want a basic one. I can only hope you're working on a full bells and whistles one with the kitchen sink thrown in for good measure as I speak.

Is there a tangent snap function in Affinity Designer Beta? I've just downloaded the new build and am playing about with the new construction/node snapping features (very nice), but I can't seem to find any sort of tangent to tangent construction guide/snap. Edit: the 'Drawing circles using 3 points' draws a tangent between circles I've just figured out. Just wondering now can I use that to draw tangents on anything (rectangles, straight lines to a curve etc)

Affinity Designer Customer Beta (1.7.0.3)
Kiarian replied to MattP's topic in [ARCHIVE] Designer beta on macOS threads
It's been on the road map since 2015. It's just impossible to compete in logo design against Adobe Illustrator and Corel Draw without a vector text warp tool. The text warp in Photo is a great tool. We just need that, along with additional text warp options (the Netflix logo is a prime example) in Designer. PS. Just reading the new updates/features. Very much looking forward to the video on the new node/pen features - I do love a nice curve! -

Praying to the Vector Text Warp Gods to see a lovely new Vector Text Distort tool in Affinity Designer before version 2.0 Or are they saving it for version 2.0? -
What farukkk said. I'm in the middle of something now, vectorising an image. All I need to do is slightly warp some text. Now I have to try and find my old Adobe Illustrator log in details and install the dreaded Adobe software. Hate the Adobe Suite, and I still cannot get my head around Affinity not releasing a basic text warp tool for Designer. I've been reading the original post, and it goes back to 2015. This isn't any hate on Affinity, love the software, but I cannot see how anyone doing any graphic design can not go back to Illustrator for this one tool. It's such a staple tool for any sort of logo design. Boggles the mind why it isn't a priority!?

Hey Jarentino, search under the hashtag #nintendo #supermariokart #johnnyjawbone and it should come up. Haven't played GT lately as I've been working but it's a cool game. Ongoing, free DLC being released continuously! -

Excellent. Just what I was looking for. Thanks for attaching the Styles! -
Thanks Toltec/R C-R, Understanding it more now. Yes, if I set the opacity as per Toltec said, then yes I can synchronise settings. The method I was using before would be to draw out a shape, use the number keys to quickly set the opacity and either turn stroke on or off, then synchronise settings on that selection, which does not work. Using the numerical keys only modifies the opacity in the Layers tab I can now see, and does not affect the opacity in the colour section. Got it now.

Hi Toltec, Thanks for the reply. That's disappointing. It seems to be a pretty lacklustre tool then.
