Another masterpiece.
My other half said It's as good as Monsters Inc.

+1 scanner support is really useful.
-
Twain/scanner, is this supported yet in either AD or APh? As I can't seem to find it.
-
The file format is identical - the file extension is different ;) That's simply so that the program that made the file is the one that gets fired up automatically when you double-click it in Finder
Aah! That makes sense.

“Use exactly the same file format between applications”
Excerpt From: “Affinity Review #1.” iBooks.
So how can the same format have different names? Or is it flexible like JPG/JPEG?

Feel better Matt! Ohh and wipe down the post button before and after you click it! I dont want to get sick.
Look what I found...more importantly where I found it! Quick someone, wipe this one down!

Hi JohnB and photofriend, welcome to the forums.
I need manuals too, Serif produces some nifty guides for its Plus range over on Windows. Well written, handily sized and matches perfectly, with everything on the screen.

This link is from MEB. Should be your first port of call. This link should be featured on the welcome screen.

I have to submit my photos as a jpeg to other companies. Are you saying that if I were to change to jpeg that some of the applications from the editing with af will be lost and not stay with the image when changed to jpeg?
Why not have two copies? This doesn't take much effort or space.

Hi Rooban, welcome to the forum.
Checkout MEB's links, this should answer a few questions.

Just had a PM from cartoonmike. He really likes the whole PIF subject. Thought you'd need the ego boost.
All the best

If I'd known that (despite being a 1.x) product it's not anywhere near ready for prime time use, I would have approached it differently and used it differently in terms of my own time commitments to understanding its paradigms and approaches, and that's probably true of everyone.
OK fair comment; but that's why the Betas are SO important. The users, myself included are shaping versions 2,3,4 etc. This is a very dynamic forum, with a sense of community. (I've been on it every day, since I joined).
This will be a game changer in the long run, not tomorrow, as it is incomplete (but extremely functional) at the moment and the dev team DO listen. How powerful is that? Very!
Just like ballroom dancing, this forum and the dev team are equal partners who rely on each other's feedback and right now that's all that matters.
As for price...expensive is the wrong word!

Hi Ramon, welcome to the forums.
Looks like you're already at home with AD. The App is cheap (as in very affordable!) but the output is priceless.
Hope there's more to come.

Hello..I'm Pete from Dallas and I just downloaded the Beta version to have a look...I wish there was a "right from the very beginning" tutorial so I could see exactly what to do to get started..I'm sure somebody will shed some light on this topic as I am not even certain as to how to import a photo into the program...Thx in advance for the help!!
Hi domesticfr8. Welcome to the forums.
File>Place, choose your picture then press Open. This will import your image for you.
Or if you like, right click on any image and from the context menu, Open With>Affinity Photo Beta.app.
As for tutorials MEB recommends this link.Here
The tutorials will arrive soon.

Wouldn't Android be the first Linux distro, to get Affinity? That market is huge.

Well...all is not lost, as I have found you this on FB

Stop teasing us :P and tell us when it'll be ready.
There's a typo on the final coffee name...Priestly should've been spelt P R I C E Y instead! ;)

Also to what extent will you be able to edit Designer files in photo or visa versa? Will it be like how you can currently embed documents into other
I've just opened my AD file in APh and yes as promised it works. Even the lines that were drawn in the vector mode ARE fully editable. :D :D :D

AD is still easier to 'read' the tool bar, than AI's display.
People generally see colour first, then postition, after that shape and finally fine detail. Just think about traffic lights; all of this very quickly.

yeah, not only do they taketh away, and foisteth upon, but they keep re-arranging the furniture, which is very bad UX...Changing key commands or methods, or where this or that feature is kept, or what it's named or how it works. One develops valuable, time-saving muscle memory of how to do things so that you eventually develop an "act without thinking" workflow, which ought to be the goal of any software developer.
Do you sit there and think about how to operate a pencil?
No!
You grab a pencil, some paper, and start drawing or writing some amazing creation.
Command + z. My most used key combo.

I've been snooping around this Adobe https://forums.adobe.com/search.jspa?q=affinity+image
Looks like a lot of people there are missing a filter, one that goes by the name Oil paint. Maybe if you added it ...

Yay! Well done MattP: so simple, way easier than the Bezier tool tutorial. Pop this on MEB's page http://mixmediasalad.com too!
What we need is more of this ultra simple yet effective hints like this. :D :D :D :ph34r:
