Burny reacted to Bri-Toon in Stroke Questions
It sounds like there has been some confusion here. A curve is just a path, so each stroke that is drawn is already a curve. The phrase "Convert to Curves" refers to converting from smart shapes, text, and any other elements which are not curves from start. With something like smart shapes, you have additional control on changing the form before making it an editable object like any other curve. So a curve is just a path that can be edited with the Node Tool.
Expanding strokes on the other hand is the same as converting strokes to fills.

Burny reacted to rui_mac in Ability to color margin guides and bleed
We should be able to define the margin guides color and, in the future, when bleed becomes visible, the color of the bleed guides too.

Burny reacted to spidermurph in Affinity Designer Customer Beta - 1.6.0.88 / 89
Still no bleed?
There seems to be a lot of time spent making cosmetic changes to this program. But the one simple little feature that makes the difference between being able to use Designer for print (Visual Bleed) seems to keep getting overlooked.
We love this program and have owned it in our studio on Macs and PCs for 2 years. But we have never been able to use it for any jobs.
We still have to use InDesign and Page Plus.
Every program in the world that supports CMYK output has bleed because you cannot work without it.
Please consider adding this feature. It has been in your road map forever.

This is a beta of a substantial change to our codebase and as much as we have tried to ensure the quality of the code, it is considered to be not suitable for production use. This means that you should not attempt to use it for commercial purposes or for any other activity that you may be adversely affected by the application failing. In addition it is definitely worth noting that files created in Affinity 1.6 may not open in 1.5 so always make a copy of your important documents before opening them in 1.6 to ensure you do not accidentally overwrite them and are unable to open them in your 1.5 version.

Burny got a reaction from Sean P in Refresh problem + memory usage
Sorry ! I had completely forgotten that I saved the history... It works great know and I'm happy the problem comes from my stupidity...
Have a good day !

Burny reacted to Sean P in Refresh problem + memory usage
Thanks for the file. I've had a look at the main bulk of memory is being taken up by loading the history that has been saved to the document. I resaved the file as a new file without the history which not only dramatically reduced the file size, but also took the memory usage down to about 1.4GB. If you want to retain the history you could save a second file without history, to reduce the filesize, and then re-enable save with history and continue to work on that new file. This allows you to reduce memory usage, but also retain the previous history (albeit in a separate file).
I also noticed that you have a lot of pixels layers that are between 800-2200dpi! It would probably help exporting these as 300dpi PNGs and placing them (like you did with the background), as it would need to store so much pixel data in memory then. Lastly you could also reduce your background to about half the size as well and that will also help!

Thanks, quite pleased how it turned out. In case anyone's interested, the split view but with the vector textures hidden as they make it look a mess.

Burny reacted to VectorVonDoom in 1965 Ferrari Dino Berlinetta Speciale (AD)
“This is my Eiffel Tower. This is my Rachmaninoff's Third. My Pietà. It's completely elegant, it's bafflingly beautiful…” I think the last one I’ll do and post but it’s a goodie (well the subject is).
The Ferrari Dino Berlinetta Speciale prototype was unveiled at the Paris motor show in 1965. In my opinion the side view is its best angle, I can’t say that I think the front is particularly pretty. It recently sold for a ridiculous amount of money, over £3.2m/$4m.
As I wanted it to be photorealistic what looks like a fairly simple drawing was plenty of work. There’s a lot of fine detail, like the vector textures I made up for the tyres and wheels, that isn’t necessarily obvious, especially at this reduced size, but if it wasn’t there then it loses some of its realism. I'll probably go back to it in a week or two and see what bits I don't like.
It’s also quite a large drawing, the full size output’s 88.5MP (11520x7680).

I also use Affinity photo for a few weeks and it has the same effect on me. Here is a little work on a logo where I used a water brush ... So easy ... The software itself becomes a source of inspiration.
