    Alexandru Cojocaru reacted to Intuos5 in Add a dedicated beta downloads button instead of/ in addition to the product keys in the store account?   
    I think it would be better if the Beta products could be accessed from the "Your account" button on the Affinity Store (https://affinity.serif.com/en-gb/). Seeing that I have multiple addons that I got with V1, the free addons for V2, the software keys for all V1 & V2 products and additional addon purchases, the Beta downloads are now halfway in the list. Wouldn't it be better if you get an additional beta button in the your account button to immediately go to the beta downloads? At least, that would have made it a lot easier to find (and thus easier to participate for new members).

    Customisable UI is definitely needed.
    And the ability to see 2 studio panels at the same time (colour + layers).

    This is definitely a must. Hope it will be added soon.

    Alexandru Cojocaru reacted to specworkfan in iPad Affinity Photo Annoying to Use Because of UI   
    I'm excited for the future, but the iPad version is really time consuming and annoying to use as an artist versus photoshop. Don't get me wrong, I was thankful to have it today flying for 32 hours, but it takes 3x as long to work versus the desktop version.
     
    1) There in no keyboard shortcut for brush size. You have to use the slider, only the slider is not a slider but a weird circle that misbehaves. In addition to that there is currently a bug where if you change brushes it resets to the default size, forcing you to have to deal with the weird UI.

    2) There is no keyboard shortcut for the color picker. You have to click around 3-4 times to get the color instead of just pressing alt and working from the painting so you never have to even go to a color wheel. This is a workflow killer, and makes you want to smash your iPad. The workaround for me was to just use less colors in the work today. It's definitely a creative bottleneck.

    3) There's no easy way to cut to layer. This is also very time consuming to workaround. If you could just program shortcuts, then this would solve this issue. There doesn't need to be a specific UI element as long as you could do this.

    4) No opacity shortcuts also waste a lot of time. Sigh.

    I really hope these keyboard shortcuts are added as soon as possible. I hope with everyone else to have custom shortcuts someday to, but the brush size/opacity/color UI looks pretty, but isn't very functional when you are used to being fast.

    I have the same request. Please make the shadows/highlight adjustment in develop recover detail like in many raw processors instead of producing a washed out gray which is unusable. The filter in photo persona can no longer work with the raw data, so it is inferior in any case. I am forced to continue using LR on raw files to have proper shadow/highlight recovery.

    That is just my point. Affinity photo does have raw development capabilities at the moment but I get the feeling that there wasn't much effort put into develop persona.  If raw development is primary what you need then affinity photo is not the best choice.

    @Fixx, thank you so much for this hint!
     
    However, a simple button in the top menu to switch on and off the blown highlights and shadow would be a lot better, because it would be independent from any tool or modifier.

    Alexandru Cojocaru got a reaction from anon1 in Adding noise to layer masks   
    It would be amazing to have that functionality in a future version of Affinity Photo. (Curves and Levels work great this way, we just need the rest of adjustments and filters to work in the same way).
    A small note regarding layer masks: would be great, after you Alt+click on the mask to see it, to be able to Alt+click again on it to come out (instead of clicking on another layer or pressing Esc) (I guess I'm just used to the 'Photoshop way' and it's hard to break the habit)

    Alexandru Cojocaru got a reaction from lepr in Adjustments and Filters for Masks   
    I know that you can attach Curves and Levels adjustments to masks and set their target channel to Alpha instead of Master. This is great feature that allows us to change a mask non-destructively, but we should be able to attach all adjustments and filters to a mask as if the mask was a regular grayscale pixel layer.
     
    Also currently in order to attach Curves or Level adjustments to a mask you have to create it and attach it manually to the mask. Would be nice to be able to select the the mask - add the adjustment layer (or live filter) and have it link automatically to the mask.
     
    Hope all this makes sense. Cheers!
