[Text on a path - Affinity Photo]

vanoltom,

I have been asking for that too.
It doesn't make sense for me to buy another application for one function.

Even some competing products (some free ones too) have this function.

 

[Gradient tool color selection]

There seems to be an issue with color selection when using the gradient tool in 1.7.0.243.

After creating the gradient, when I try to change the color from the color wheel in the gradient tab, the new color flashes briefly but the previous color remains.
But when I change it from the color tab, it changes correctly.

[Sketch filters]

I would like to see more artistic / sketch type filters in Affinity Photo.
I've been in the habit lately of giving photos a graphic novel look.

The addition of a graphic pen filter would be very welcome.

Here are some screenshots of a video contest I did which was made of still pictures, processed with artistic and sketch filters and then animated (with products I no longer use and refuse to use).

[1.6.0.75 slow Inpainting Brush]

I downloaded your picture and painted out the guy on the rocks in 3 seconds on beta .75.

I tried various zoom levels while doing it and the results were the same.

I'm running an HP laptop with an i7-4810MQ CPU @2.8GHz with 16GB of RAM with Windows 7 SP1 64-bit.

The GPU is an AMD FirePro M6100 FireGL V.
