mission

Please add global colors support!
It has been requested multiple times already on this forums...

I've searched around and while I see people asking about this, doesn't seem like there's any kind of formal request for this feature so here's one.
Essentially it's what the title says, please add the ability to create, edit and apply global colour swatches in illustrations and designs done on the iPad. Global colours are a fundamental part of vector design and illustration, the need for this is vital!
Right now the only workaround is to create them on the desktop and then open the file on the iPad, but this has limitations besides not being able to edit the swatches on the device itself. For example if you apply a global to an object, the swatches panel will not indicate in any way that the colour is apply to the object, unlike in the desktop where you can see the swatch highlighted.
Thanks!

If companies like Autodesk (Maya), The Foundry (Modo), Chaos Group (V-Ray), Next Limit (Maxwell), OTOY (Octane Render) or even Epic Games (Unreal Engine) and many others all find Linux a worthy investment then why nobody is making a real "Photoshop for Linux"?
 
I'm pretty sure that majority of studios who buy the above products and use it on Linux workstations would also buy Linux versions of Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer. The market IS there, you just have to see it :-)
 
I personally use PC at home, and THE ONLY reason I'm still on Windows is the fact that there is no competition to Adobe on Linux!

I agree to some extent, but I don't think many design studios would risk using pirated software anyway... IMO crackers are not really a problem as long as there are real customers too - so the real question is "how many companies or freelancers would buy the Linux version?". I guess the answer is that many customers who also buy 3D software on Linux! :)
 
I also think the major cause of "piracy" are high prices. Affinity is extremely cheap when compared to Adobe so I think many people would buy it, even if they can crack it. You know, piracy is kinda part of market competition too - people need to choose between safe, fully supported but expensive product and something free, but without support and often at risk of having a trojan : ) If the price is low enough, they will just pay because it's much easier and safer.

I agree there is a huge market for a Linux version. Please keep in mind that 3D industry already exists on Linux - there are many popular applications like Maya, Modo, Mudbox, Mari or even Blender.
The only thing missing are good Linux alternatives to Photoshop and Illustrator. There is GIMP, MyPaint, Krita or Inkscape but nothing can really compete with Adobe's products.
 
Distributions like Fedora Workstation or Ubuntu are perfectly viable for unexperienced users. I'm absolutely sure that many Windows users would switch to Linux to use Affinity products!

I love you!!!

Thanks Patrick for the info!
 
I've found some sample RAW images from FZ2000.
Affinity Photo does open the file, but there is no built-in Lens Correction.
 
It's the same Panasonic RAW (RW2) format as for FZ1000.
So basically the format is supported, but the camera is not :-)

Hi,
 
I'm planning to buy Panasonic DMC-FZ2000 (DMC-FZ2500 in the US) but I can't see it on the supported cameras list.
Is there any ETA on when Affinity Photo will add RAW support for it? How long it may take?
 
Thank you and kind regards,

Thanks for the info!

Hi,
 
I think it would be really awesome to have Affinity available on Steam, as an option.
Apart from games, Steam is also a software distribution platform...
