@haakooIf you are speaking about this
This reset text font etc... It doesnt actually rescale my font layer.
-
@haakooI don't see this men entry, can you make a screenshot ? How to Rever default ?
Not that I'm speaking about text with multiple font size in it. -
@Joachim_L Oops sorry? I was answering to the wrong thread ^^
Double clicking on middle works do resets Proportions, but not original scale indeed.
Seems like "original scale" data is lost in the transform process. -
@Joachim_L
I was trying to scale my text layer by a fix percentage on the transform panel, mouse scaling doesnt show any % tooltips and would be less precize. -
@MEBThis works but it means we can't adjust Text Frame by a Percentage in Transform panel.
-
I was looking for this feature too. Scale and Proportion layer reset
Anyone has a workarround ? -
@Dazmondo77I understand the frustration,
though I won't blame Affinity,
They have been bought by serif, which surely need to lots of reorganization for the people there, (and the whole thing without changing business model)
And they do provides regular updates with bug fixes. The software isn't abandoned at all.
The most notable feature the brought since 2014 is Windows Support which came late in dev and which was certainly very hard to do. And they were in fact preparing Publisher.
I think they needs support, to keep the passion up, and clear feature requests without having to have too much "how bad they are posts" - it doesn't make feature implemented quicker, but can maybe turn them back from the forum. Illustrator CS5 was already almost a 26 years old widely spread software when it came out (first release in 1985!).So let's be patient, and bump our favorite FR from time to time. Hoping they will pass of course, especially if they are interesting and reasonable :P

@snuffleberries
Definitely.The strong point about filter is that it can be turned on/off and be applied to all layers below, even if you add new one after the filter creation. It can also be copied from one doc to another.
But for sure more transformation tools in general will be nice.
-
@R C-R
yes definitely, at least we have a day,There is other feature non implemented in any app that I will enjoy a lot and will for sure bump the related thread at some point (randomization for eg.. :p)
@Dazmondo77
Interesting wrap technique for sure... Now I want it too ! ^^ -
@R C-R
Indeed, merging the app rise lots of questions and requires consideration, lots of dev ressources etc, so it is a bit out of scope.A simple Live Filter menu will already solve lots of troubles.
-
Thanks for your explaination.
I understand that some feature are specific (like photos editing tools for Photo, vector specific tools for Designer), though I'm not convinced the feature I mentioned should be "one app" specific.
Batch converter could be very useful in Affinity Designer as well,
Just like Live Filters.If the interoperability is that extensive I wonder why not merge all the software together; I mean, there is already a Personna paradigm, so why not a Photo personna, a Designer personna etc... Just some thoughts.
But in practice I'm not asking for so much. I'll be just fine with a Live FIlter menu entry in designer ^^ (and yes, maybe batch converter, though, this doesn't need to be launch as quickly as live filter so it is okay to use Photo for that. Live filter requires implementation cause it is really a common tool to use in design - I mean, the perspectve filter is a must have, especially since we don't have edge transformation tool.)Just my two cents!

@Dan C Hi, Thanks for your answer !
Indeed, I can File -> Open with Photo to add the perspective live filter, and then open back to Designer.
Surprisingly, it works just as well : we can even double click the live filter in Designer and have the settings popup !
This means than the only thing Missing from affinity Designer is a Menu to get access to them !
This is so weird. I don't understand this limitation.
Is Photo supposed to be an enhanced version of Designer ?
Is there also some function for designer which would need other softwares like Publisher ?
Photo seems the most limited of the suite.It is not the first feature which need to pass by photo, like Btach processing.
The weirdest thing is that we don't even need Photo: someone who shares a afdesign file with all live filter would be enough for Designer users to use filter without Photo.
Well, I hope it will be integrated right in Affinity Designer cause this limitation is kind of frustrating, knowing it is all there, and it only miss a menu entry.
Thanks for your support !

@Dan C Hi!
Not sure to understand... What if I want to perspective an group of vector layers ?
What should I do ?Thx !
-
+4 for perspetive wrap!
Especially needed when we want to set in perspective a group of layers.
Non destructive will be awesome.
-
FullScreen at 1:1 100% scale preview would be awesome!
I'm amking illustration for video and having them display full size will help.
Thanks for your consideration ! -
Hi everyone !
So far I used Affinity Designer just on small individual taks or illustration, but I recently had to use it extensively to make an educational video with a friend of mine. This requires to do around 50 different illustrations, mostly custom creations with few assets from Freepik here and there. I had to learn both flat design characters drawing and Affitnity Designer Photo.
As a global feedback for Affinity Designer, I want to say that it was a very pleasing software to use (nice UI, no lags, no crash), and I'm glad it has this very nice business model.
The video is in French, but here the result :
During the elaboration of this work, I find several limitations we could have make it easier. I opended and bumped various other forum threads, but here is a reacap of things I would really love to have for the next series of illustration I would have to make :
This one is a must have for me. Almost all my illustrations have some kind of symetry involved. This will really help
This will really help making some variations for a duplicated objets. Would be very nice !
This would help making some automation.
This would be the Graal and ultimately could solve other issue, like layer name processing etc. It would be very appreciated !
If I had to choose only one, the first I mentioned would be really helpful. Please bump the thread if you agree, hoping it will interest Affinity Designer devs
Thx for your attention, Cheers !

@R C-R so there is batch tools/macros in Affinity Photo that can't be found in Affinity Designer... Is there such things in Affinity Publisher as well ? (batch processing tools missing from the other softwares ?)
-
And that would be nice too
-
+1 for random( x, y) support ! I though the noise() function was supposed to do that but it doesn't seem to work in transform panel.
In transform panel, it should have a different results for each selected objects if Transform Independently is selected.
-
-
I can see there is a "noise" function in field equations...
noise(seed / x, y) Generate 1D noise either from a seed or based on X/Y input.Couldn't that be used to add randomness (it is equivalent to a random() function ?) ? It doesnt seem to work in transform field though.
Such integration wouldn't require any GUI changes so it might be quicker to implement.
EDIT: I see this has been explicitly requested in this thread : -
-
+1 !!
This is highly desirable when you have tons of layers !
Similar feature is found on Illutstrator.
Live perspective: real?

@R C-ROh my mistake ! I didnt realize they were serif right from the start.
At the time afifnity came out, serif had other software like DrawPLus etc and win only, contrary to AD which was MacOS only,
But I just checked and you are 100% right ^^ I edit my post.
