  1. I noticed this and it blew my mind. Is this because of shared assets or something?
  2. Hi. I have Designer, Publisher, Photo... The extra content get downloaded separately in all 3 apps? Why not a common area so that if the same content is not prompted but still recognized between the apps? Some of these are almost a gig of space.
  3. I'm having extreme lag and my machine has 16gb ram with an SSD and an 8th gen i7 and dual graphics cards one being an nvidia so this shouldn't lag like this. It's a program defect. Earlier version on an old macbook worked fine for me without any lag. I am not getting a lot of CPU usage either and the ram usage is not off the charts so IDK what is causing the lag.
  4. I also am having issues with a document that I used to edit on an old macbook in an earlier version of publisher with no lag. My macbook died and I upgraded to a Windows 10 machine with the same 16gb ram and an SSD but this one has an 8th gen i7 whereas the old macbook had like a first gen i7. I paste in a background and am trying to move in a small pasted vector on a 240 pg document and the thing is so laggy I can't work. Doesn't matter if I tell it to use the integrated Intel vs the Nvidia graphics card.
  5. Nothing wrong with an affiliate program morally or otherwise. I'd love to actively promote it but why do it for free? Isn't my time worth anything? So please create one.
  6. I haven't done this myself, but apparently someone got Designer working under Ubuntu Linux using WINE. https://www.linuxcompatible.org/compatibility/report/affinity-photo-165/
  7. I use Affinity Designer for tshirt design creation and also for craft stuff I do for my wife for kids birthday parties and school things - I love Designer and I use it 99% of the time. I use Photo for specific photo things that I then pull into Designer. Sometimes you want a one click effect and see how that works. Saves time. I do do long hand things with brushes and stuff but sometimes a filter is all one needs or wants.
  8. Let me explain. Under Windows I have Paint.net installed and it has a nifty pencil sketch effect and also oil color effect, which are both pretty much single click, and they work great 99% of the time. Something like that for Affinity Photo... I have Affinity Photo/Designer/Publisher licenses for both Mac & Windows (yes I bought one of each for both platforms). At home I use my macbook mainly, at work I hae a Windows box, and knowing how expensive Macs are if my macbook ever dies and I can't afford to replace it I know that a Windows lapotop is cheap. Anyhoo, I was surprised there was no built in filters like this for Affinity
  9. Is there a working oil painting filter, effect, or plugin that works with Affinity Photo? I don't mean a sequence of steps with tools, I mean a one stop effect. Thanks.
  10. I just purchased the Mac Publisher license through the preorder link, but when I go through again to buy a Windows one it gives me a voucher code and when I click redeem voucher it says: Error: The code you entered has exceeded its purchase limit. All I want to do is to buy a Windows license too at the preorder price. Is this not allowed?
  11. Hi. Maybe this is simple but I am not getting something. I have a page that I set the background well outside the page size but the printer is printing a white margin type of space and a larger on at bottom. Designer is set to no margins. I am not sure why I am getting this cutoff. Is this strictly a printer (HP inkjet) issue? IF the background texture and the graphic at the bottom wer well within the measurements of the page, why am I getting this white space on the edges and a larger white space on the bottom of the page? Thanks
  12. I do tshirts on Amazon and other POD which is my main use case for Affinity. If I manage to sell enough in future maybe a new Mac is in the cards, but I planned on turning that money into Bitcoin/Ethereum/etc first so I guess I'll just rough it. Actually my 2011 macbook exports the designs to PNG pretty quickly. It's not like I'm making 3D movie stills or anything. 16gb of RAM and SSD are the big things that keep my machine relevant. Just that, you know about obsolescence etc. It happens..
  13. Thanks for the well thought out response. Actually, if I can't run it on the bare OS I'm not interested. Having all those layers including a secondary OS... I've used VMWARE and VirtualBox and all that stuff in my previous IT career and even in software test9ing (where I am now) and honestly it would be nice to see linux versions but without them I'd just use Windows or Mac. At one time I was so anti Microsoft (post Windows NT SP 2 fiasco) that I used Linux as my laptop OS at the software company I worked for and used Windows in a vmware vm to use things like Outlook mail and MS office apps. I had that flexibility in my job they let me do it. It was a small company and we were ALL nerds with nerd cred, from the VP down to the lowest laptop provisioner... If when the times comes I can stay on Mac I will. If not I will use Windows. All I was saying is that it would be "nice" to have that other option although I understand the reasons why they are not doing that. That being said whjile I bought Mac and Win licenses I use the Mac licenses the most because I prefer the Macbook. (early 2011 i7 with 16gb RAM and new 500GB SSD I replaced the old drive with a few months ago - non retina running High Sierra - not upgradable to Mohave, dammit - but that doesn't matter)
