    Hi All,
    We are pleased to make available the next update to the 2.1 beta (2.1.0.1736). This will be available for you shortly on auto-update. Below are some of the main changes in this update...
    WebP and JPEG XL now available in batch export
    As has been commonly requested since adding these new formats to V2, we have now made them available as batch format options in Affinity Photo.

    New left swipe options on iPad layers panel
    You can now access lock/unlock, rename layer and change compound type (if layer in question is a compound) by swiping left on a layer as shown below:
    RPReplay_Final1680080397.mov
     
    Brush panel improvements
    Texture brushes in Designer persona can now be viewed in thumbnail view (i.e. you now have ability to uncheck "Show as list") Alt-Click on raster brushes now changes brush while keeping your current brush width as well as ignoring associated tool. If you just want to ignore associated tool then use shift-alt-click Auto-select
    With auto select turned off you can now hold cmd (Mac/iPad) / ctrl (Windows) to temporarily turn it back on to make another selection on document.
    Also note: We have encountered some problems with auto select being off with multi-page documents. For that reason it is currently disabled with a multi-page doc, we are hoping to have a fix for this soon.
    Vector flood fill tool
    When your bucket is loaded with a colour / fill you can now just click on any object to fill it even if it is not selected. In this case this will just fill the whole object - if you want the fill tool to take into account intersecting shapes and curves they all need to be pre-selected as before. While in the tool you can now just click on an asset or stock item to load your bucket with that bitmap texture (i.e. without having to drag drop as before). This is currently only implemented on desktop, but will be added to iPad in too in the next update. There are new controls for whether you want to add as an additional fill or replace the current fill. To be honest there is still some outstanding work which needs to be done with this, so we will talk more about this / what the expected behaviour is in the next update. A new option to "fill to visible boundaries". This means if any of the objects in your selection are obscuring any line segments from other objects, these can now optionally be ignored by the tool. In the example below - without the new option checked there are 12 possible areas you can fill to, but now you can alternatively choose to just show the 6 areas on the right. 
    Crop tool
    Cmd / ctrl / shift constrain modifiers are now available when in unconstrained mode as promised.
    Dashed lines
    We now accept zero as the 2nd and 3rd dash value to give different options, particularly when in combination with balanced lines. This example was discussed on the thread - the left option begins with a dot and when balanced dots are in the rectangle corners. The right option begins with a dash, but the 2nd "dash" can now be set to a dot (zero value) to enable dashes in the corners in this case.

    Pencil double tap option for quick menu
    If menu is already visible a second double tap will now dismiss it.
    Rename Layers
    You can now double click / tap on an artboard name to rename it!
     
    Plus as usual lots of bug fixes as listed in the fix list thread!
    To comment / give feedback on any of these changes please go to the relevant thread for that feature which is linked to in each of the headings above.

    Thanks,
    Ash

    Hi @eegler 
    Unfortunately this option doesn't yet exist in Affinity iPad apps - we hope to add this feature in a future version, but we have no timescale for this currently, my apologies!

    I don't think this is a bug.
    Look at the status bar at bottom of the app: it tells you to drag to position the centre of the twirl (which has defaulted to the centre of the document and initially has too small a radius to reach the fire from there).

    Nice! Enjoyed the shadow work at 11:00-12:00 and the helicopter blade work at at 13:00±. Adding the spots for burning cinders just above the explosions is a nice touch and really "sells" the illusion.

    Status: Beta

    Hello,
    We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of the first beta of Affinity Designer 1.8.2 for macOS.
    If this is your first time using a customer beta of an Affinity app, it’s worth noting that the beta will install as a separate app - alongside your store version. They will not interfere with each other at all and you can continue to use the store version for critical work without worry.
    This beta is an incremental update to the 1.8.1 version recently released to all customers (though it installs parallel to the release). We recommend that you use this beta in preference to the store version if you are affected by any of the issues listed below.
    Many thanks!
    Matt

    Hello,
    We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of the fourth beta of Affinity Photo 1.8 for macOS.
    Photo 1.8 is a significant change to the currently shipping 1.7 version, so, as ever, I would strongly urge users to avoid the 1.8 beta for critical work. This is a pre-release build of 1.8 - we will release more builds before 1.8 ships. Things will be broken in this build - please use it to explore the new features and not for real work.
    If this is your first time using a customer beta of an Affinity app, it’s worth noting that the beta will install as a separate app - alongside your store version. They will not interfere with each other at all and you can continue to use the store version for critical work without worry.
    It’s also worth noting that we aren’t done yet - we are still working through reported bugs from previous releases and hope to fix as many as possible before the final release of 1.8. 
    With all that said, we hope that you will enjoy the new capabilities introduced in this release and we look forward to any and all feedback you give to us.
    Many thanks (as always),
    Affinity Photo Team

    eegler reacted to GarryP in Very simple dimensioning objects   
    Just in case anyone is interested, I was playing around and came up with these simple dimensioning objects (in the attached afdesign file).
    To use them accurately you will have to snap to the grid, they don’t have automatic measurements, and they don’t work in all situations, but they can be used for simple drawings without too much fuss (you can see them working in the GIF).
    You might need to adjust some elements in some copies of the objects to make your drawing look right but it’s not too difficult.
    You can change the “Dimensions” Text Style font to get a different look and you can change the “Dimensions” colour in the “Dimensioning” Palette to create a quick blueprint (see last attached image).
