Randall1028 got a reaction from Julia04 in Artstudio Pro runs Photoshop brushes better than Affinity apps. Why?
I know this thread is nearly a year old, but I’ve been running into just this exact issue and trying to find a solution.
Anywho, as Serif uses “Support for Photoshop Brushes” as a selling point for Affinity Photo, no, I don’t think we should be leaving support for PS Brushes behind (at least not in this current iteration). Like it or not, PS Brushes are still the “industry standard.” And while I love affinity photo (especially the iPad version), advertising it has support for PS brushes and then they don’t work at all well is problematic. Serif is offering a way to get away from photoshop because you don’t have to give up your favorite tools, but then not really.
Especially on the education side of things does this really become a glaring issue. I recently signed up for a digital painting course, and we are encouraged to use the PS brushes supplied by the instructor. These brushes were specifically designed and created for this course. I popped them into AP, only to discover the brushes were pretty much unusable. I almost had to go back to a PS subscription, but luckily I learned Artstudio pro can read the brushes just fine and I was able to use the brushes there without an issue.
But here’s the thing: I don’t want to use Artstudio, I don’t want to use PS, I want to use Affinity Photo. If Serif doesn’t want to fully support PS Brushes, that’s fine. But then say there’s no support for it at all and not get hopes up that these brushes will work.
Or, conversely, really allow those PS Brushes to be used and sweep yet another leg out from under Adobe. Just because I use PS Brushes doesn’t mean I won’t use brushes designed specifically for Affinity, it just means I can confidently leave PS behind.

Andy, you and the team have, as usual, done a brilliant job of transferring a desktop app to the iPad. The improvements are fantastic which is amazing given the previous version was so good anyway. Now, If only we had Publisher ........

Randall1028 reacted to Richard S. in Resources Differentiation
Hi,
Is it possible that the resources forum could be divided into 2 categories, such as “Restriction Free”, whereby the resources can be used in commercial projects for financial gain, and another category such as “Limited Use”, for resources which are only for personal use.
I am asking because many people here create resources, but some do not state if there are any restrictions, which means that many professionals will probably not use them due to the uncertainty.
Thanks.

Randall1028 got a reaction from Paul Mudditt in Feedback: THANK YOU!!!
This is it! This is what I have been waiting for to turn my iPad into a full fledged web-design tool (I needed slices, and no other iOS app (as far as I have seen) has provided that). Thank you! This was worth the wait! I recently, and reluctantly, updated my iPad Pro to the latest version concerned that I should have bought an under-powered laptop instead to do web design. Thanks to you guys, I have no more concerns!
The features you put into this thing are amazing and so much has been done right, I can’t wait to see some of the UI features bleed over into affinity photo (like the 2-finger undo feature!).
You guys really outdid yourselves. Bravo!!

Randall1028 reacted to DM1 in Why is Photo STILL on sale?!
Maybe you should come to Australia. We had to pay $39 AUD. Even at that price I consider it a bargain. One off payment (not subscription), great support and an amazing app to boot. I guess we all have different expectations of our purchases.

Randall1028 reacted to Tschens in Why is Photo STILL on sale?!
Come on. You talk about a difference of 10 Euro for a Photoshop-like App. That’s two glasses of beer. Not worth whining, not worth the time you spent here to complain.

Several times Serif communicated that release date would be 2017, did this change?

Randall1028 reacted to JensLundin in Bottom-bar should be move/size able
Please make it possible to move and size the bottom-bar - it's always "hidden" under my hand when using a pen. It's really annoying.

Randall1028 got a reaction from JensLundin in Undo by tapping two fingers on screen
I would also advocate this. At the very least, move the undo buttons to the "off hand" side (meaning on right-handed interface, it should be on the left of the screen, and vice versa for the left-handed interface).
Absolutely loving this program though. Well worth the money!!
