Hansha reacted to a post in a topic: Hard time with linked text boxes
-
OK, I understand now - thank you. However, this behaviour is very unintuitive. Namely, regardless of how you resize the text box (with or without content) I mostly the type size will be adjusted another way and postfestum. Additionally, the logic tells us that linking two boxes serves the continuation of a text in another box not creating an independent text with a different style. In this case, the application should apply the same resize ratio to the box when linked with the parent and retain the stylistic coherence of the paragraph. It is just a really bad and senseless design.

Dragging a new textbox to the desired size should not affect the scale of the content to follow, period. This is simply an utterly weird design. Check the video. Screen Recording 2024-05-26 at 19.52.47.mov

How to show red overlay when masking
Hansha replied to user_0815's topic in Feedback for the Affinity V2 Suite of Products
Everyone is jumping on the AI bandwagon kinda of making a fool out of themselves as the results of this "toy AI" are useless. The usable AI will not come as a freebie addition or a plugin for some time ... -
Thank you, but it should be scaled to 0 by default. Why would someone want a random scaling without their choice and how hard is this to implement? Best!

Btw – a workaround is not to make a new box but: Copy + paste the previous box Delete text Link boxes. Still embarrassing for Affinity though.

It is 2024 and Publisher still isn't capable of handling perhaps the 1st task a desktop publishing app is supposed to. This is laughable - are you serious Affinity? Ok, back to InDesign ...

How to show red overlay when masking
Hansha replied to user_0815's topic in Feedback for the Affinity V2 Suite of Products
I must say this is probably the only reason I don't use Affinity Photo. I keep checking demos for this to come but nothing. This is a really basic essential tool for contemporary photography work. Masking without this is invalid. A fully editable rubylith layer is a must and if you don't understand this priority over cloud generation, perlin noise, voronoi and astrography then well ... many of us are forced to stay away from this app. -

How to show red overlay when masking
Hansha replied to user_0815's topic in Feedback for the Affinity V2 Suite of Products
There is a workaround for achieving rubylith I just thought of: Make a folder with an adjustment On top of that, adjustment put another adjustment that will simulate colour overlay. You can use lens filter, gradient map or recolour - any you like best Apply masks to the group Now you can toggle the fake rubylith adjustment on and off, change its colour and opacity. It will also show while editing. See here: -

What the hell is wrong with those devs — they are not fixing perhaps the single most important task a serious editor must master. One can do curves and colours in every iPad app. Crazy — open Adobe PS -
missing basic photoshop features
Hansha replied to Gedd's topic in Feedback for Affinity Photo V1 on Desktop
A lot unfortunately. I would love to ditch PS but for start; Image calculations Convert selection to curves Mask editing equivalent to pixel layer (blur, sharpen, dodge and burn mask) Rubylith mask editing mode. Basically masking is the only thing where I see shortcomings I can not circumvent ... -
Default Save As to Any Format
Hansha replied to JayH's topic in Feedback for the V1 Affinity Suite of Products
Well, I completely second those rooting for "saving as" for various reasons that don't need to be mentioned ... The good news I have is that this is kinda possible with the new beta. Export the file first in TIFF with Affinity layers checked and open this file. Each command S you will do on this file will automatically save the TIFF even though the progress bar will say export. I do not know if this works as well in other formats. However - don't get all giddy. PS will not open such TIFFS with layers. However, they will be displayed and editable in Lightroom Classic! -

The debate is silly and futile. I completely agree with rui_mac ... Masking in AP is horrible and illogical and it is the main reason many people can not switch to AP despite its many advantages and their wish to do so. The developers are going the wrong route here anyway. They try to make some magic masks for hobby user to remove birds from sky and cars from selfies. Completely useless for serious work ... And those insulting automatic hair masking examples that can be sold only to someone who never did work on hair with low contrast relation to the background ... The odd thing is the blur and sharpen tool work so I gather there is little technical reason for other tools not to edit it in edit mode. Should simply become a grayscale layer in this mode - that would fix it ...
