Hi Lee, yes still having issues! I’m working on a project at the moment on the new version and it it can’t seem to cope with simple tasks...and then spins the wheel of death and I have to force quit! At least it enables me to open a recovery file!

Hi Lee, Not as much actually but that may be because I'm not using it as often at the moment..I have been using it mostly on a iMac from 2014 so it could be that is the issue...though the original version is fine on the iMac...thanks for getting in touch..

I wish I had explored it with the trial version instead of buying it...but because I love the original Affinity software, I trusted it would be a fantastic upgrade as advertised...though so far I haven’t seen the benefit of the Affinity 2...

Hi again, another issue with Affinity 2 is that it keeps quitting unexpectedly! Oh dear...I’m not sure the upgrade is as good as the original...the original version seems to be much more reliable..any thoughts would be appreciated. If I keep finding issues with the new version I may have to go back to using the original version...

Hi Walt thanks for your help. That’s a good idea about copying and pasting the work...thanks I’ll try this and see if it works..

Also since opening this and saving it in Affinity 2 I now can’t open it in the original Affinity software. Aaaah and I need to get a job done asap! Thanks again for your help.

Hi there, I recently bought Affinity 2 and am having issues with it already! (the wheel of death while trying to use the blur brush tool - it doesn’t work on either of my computers, my old iMac Intel or my brand new Macbook Air M1). I’m unable to blur parts of the photo with this tool. I’ve tried it in Affinity Designer 2 and Affinity Photo 2 on both macs... Is anyone else experienceing this? Maybe I’m doing something wrong but can’t fathom it if I’m using a brand new mac. Thanks for your help UkeyD

Aah brilliant! I was trying to work this out too! Thanks so much! UkeyD : ))

Sorry meant to quote you, just geting used to this system as I don’t use it very often! Incase you missed the last message "I tried it but the text frame was greyed out and wouldn’t let me change anything. I re-drew the circle and text as it was quicker than trying to figure out how to delete the colour in the circle. It would be good to be able to change it for future but still unclear how to do it. Thanks again.”

Thanks Walt, I tried it but the text frame was greyed out and wouldn’t let me change anything. I re-drew the circle and text as it was quicker than trying to figure out how to delete the colour in the circle. It would be good to be able to change it for future but still unclear how to do it. Thanks again.

-Hi Phil, I am having the same issue but I can’t see the reply to your question from “Move Along People.” Did you find a solution? Thanks Mog

Hi Errka, Thanks so much. I googled and found this too. If you select the whole group and click on the group with the pen tool , the stroke palette appears and I could then check the box from there. Thanks for your help and to Rory Townsend who made this helpful video. Best wishes UkeyD

Hi there, I notice when I shrink a grouped object and there is a shape with a stroke, (with or without dots and dashes) the stroke doesn’t shrink with the rest of the grouped objects so I have to manually adjust the shape independently from the rest of the group. I tried googling for help but and coverted to curves as suggested but still no luck. I don’t want to have to rasterise the group as I want to keep the potential for all the objects in the group to be editable and keep as Vector. This is also an issue when importing a Vector logo from Affinity Designer into Affinity Photo. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks UkeyD

Hi Jeff and Mark, Thanks for your help. Ukeyd

Hi there, I've just updated my Affinity Apps Designer and Photo in the App Store but I notice I can't update Publisher though App store. It only gives me the option to buy it even though I have already bought it. I am wondering if this is because I bought it just after the beta version and maybe I bought it directly from the Affinity website? I can't remember. Anyway just trying to figure out if there is a way to update all Affinity apps through the app store. Thanks UkeyD

Thanks very much Pšenda. Are any videos to explain the node tool as I find videos easier to understand? Thanks so much.

This is so useful. Thank you so much! : ) )

Ok thanks!

Hi Garry and Pšenda thanks so much for your help. I got it all working by checking everything but haven’t unchecked anything yet as I have been working on a job and needed to get it finished. Will have a look at unchecking gradually and see how I go. That’s really helpful thank you. I wasn’t sure where predefined preset was so haven’t tried that option. Thanks again UkeyD

Thanks Garry, Do you have a suggestion for what to keep checked and what to switch off as a default setting?

Aah ok it seems I have to check every single tick box in Enable Snapping for anything to work!

Hi, I’m not sure what I’ve done but snapping seems to have stopped working on all my Affinity Designer documents. I’ve tried resetting factory settings in preferences to see if this helps and switched on enable snapping but it still doesn’t work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much Best wishes UkeyD

I have this issue too. I keep thinking my eyesight is going! I have Mac (27-inch, Late 2013). UkeyD P.S I couldn’t seem to upload the screenshot, I got a message saying please contact us for assistance...?

Hi thanks for your reply. I don’t need a programme that outputs code. As I mentioned I’m just doing the design and was wondering which one of the Affinity apps would be better. I’ve gone for Designer as recommended. Thanks again UkeyD
