  1. IMO tags according to specific software should be color coded as software icons to better visibility. Only blue badge looks blend and its hard to navigate. Ex.
  2. Holly molly, first thoughts was that's counterfeit forums - so much different :D But my eyes hurts with all this whites is there possibilities switch to dark mode?
  3. Overall thinking, this is a shame, there is no really good software (beside Krita and Blender) that can produce print ready results. I understand, linux users would love to have an open source alternative, and that Serif as a company need to make money, as they develop great apps, and neet it to get company running, and earn - this is perfectly fine. I understand standpoint that *some* of Linux users whoes says that on that system souldn't be any paid software (or at least commercial in any form), in the end this is fully opened source envirioment (beside some examples like enterprise solutions etc.). Just look at problems with graphic card drivers, You need to install *proprietary * drivers alone in some distros, and on some this is just impossible to do, cause the open-source nature. I also understand, that Serif is worried about small Linux userbase that would buy software on Linux, and that they cannot get back money and reources invested to port their software. And also that, there is so many Linux flavours, hardvare combinations etc. that would have negative influence on porting software. Just imagine situation when users buys software and it's laggy or evend to not run, on system just because there is some differencies in kernels/x-driver or something else. But I cannot understand that *any* of big players on graphic design software companies field, cannot at least try to make Linux users life easier, trough a ports or at least improve usage by helping Wine team. Personally I think that would give only good PR, and first company that step inside Linux world, would be for first a pioneer, and for second *winner* on that field, which could be a perminent trend, an maybe which some time earn new userbase. I know many fellow indie gamedevs, working strongly in Linux space, and having only second partition with Windows for graphic workflow, and they would love to play around only on Linux. And now Me, for most time I'm a proffesional graphic designer (working in this industry over 15 years), but in recent time as a hobby rather than a job, I'm building mobile apps and games, mostly working on them on Linux, and this would be perfect when i wasn't forced to reboot to second os every time when i need to modify or make new assets. So - yes, I would love to see Affinity software on Linux platform. Sorry for a long post, but this is only my thinking about this case.
  4. I Bet it was Poland, and this is contest published at ppe.pl oh and @Kapuan - "Kapłan"? :>
  5. This piece especially reminds me Polish Hip Hop Squad "APP" with thiers music video art styles... Overall Good Job!
  6. Until there is no replacement for InDesign, I can't afford to completely switch out of Adobe. Simply as that.
  7. Nice artwork, it reminds me game called "Samorost" (See examples at Google images), which I've loved for the artwork. Thanks for sharing brushes
  8. Background color and product placement reminds me somewhat a Douglas adverts (at least Polish ones, I do not know how they are looking in other countries ;)) You can see example here.

    Another piece is a logo for my small project. PACZ STUDIO (reads as: PATCH STUDIO in Polish, and it's transle as fonetic LOOK/WATCH STUDIO) is my new investment into myself, but this is story for another time I made it simple, and bold for reasons. If You have any suggestions, feel free to comment, but right now I don't think I'll be changing anything about it.
  10. Let's get it straight: You need a PC that have HDMI and USB (for 13HD, 13 PRO needs usb 3 type c, and display port), at least tablet have nothing to PC - this is just a pointing hardware and work's just like a monitor. More powerful machine let You work more efficient with large format works - and it's based on my own thoughts. My spec: Wacom Cintiq PRO 13, 22HD Touch and some other brands like HUION. PC: i7 4790K, 32 GB of Ram, and Geforce 1080 (non ti version), and it works just fine with large canvas sizes and many vector objects.

    Hey there, from time to time I will post some of my pictures, so feel free to visit and put some feedback. All presented works are made for fun - my commercial works stay where they belong for now. First image is done quite quickly about 40-50min in AD, and as You can see there is still problem witch jagged lines (fast drawed lines like on sweter). Here is Jerzy Kukuczka, one of greatest Himalaist of all time.
  12. Also for album cover Great art style though.
  13. Also enormous file size, some kind problems according to video codecs and formats. Better way is linking to streaming media platform such as Youtube or Vimeo.
  14. Trial lasts for 10 days, and it's not subscription/cloud based, so noone can tell, when You installed software better than You
  15. Yep, i notice that, even already installed some time ago, but after years of using AE, i just cannot sip into it. I give it shot in near time though. AD is not suitable for part of my job, where i need to design many spreads in periodic magazines which i working on, it's just not designet to be able do this like AP or ID
  16. I Feel the same, Adobe is for long time on the market and peoples used it for years, and simply they will not switch to learn new ways to do stuff, and for last - this is a big suite, nowdays graphic designer is NOT just a graphic designer, it's more obvious to be motion designer also (After Effects, Animate CC) or Video Editor (Premiere Pro). Adobe has solutions for that and for that simple reason switching is a such problem. My freelance worklfolw right now looks like so: AD and AP for graphic design, Davinci Resolve for video editing but Adobe with his After Effects and InDesign still remains. And those two last program keeping me to continue beign screwd by ~63E per month subscription. If You know any good alternative to AE, please let me know.
  17. If You look closer at that wooden background, somethins is just not right, the facture and knags, are to big, unless it is coat for ants Try to scale background way down, if needed duplicate multiple time (semless feathering get job done) Also lighting is off, on the flor is from right to left but on cout in oposit way from left to right, look at casted shadows by rinkles.
  18. Until AD do not support custom vector brushes i think it is impossible, otherwise it could be simple as making stroke with jagged one, expand stroke and merge with object and You're done.
  19. Maybe in Windows store/App store version, buy directly from Affinity this is not how this works. Everytime there is an update I just get information about that. Then I need download update file from website and install it manually. This one thing is better done by Adobe witch CC desktop app where evey piece of software can be easly updated/installed/removed.
  20. Yes it is, but only that. Everything other is manual - downloading from website and installing.
  21. I would love to see auto update feature, even better when we can choose to update to stable, or beta version.
  22. I assume You are thinking of some sort of tilt shift, something like that:)? If so, just use live depth of view filter here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUKuMuePsKk You can watch tutorial
  23. OK, so there is some possibilities like: Merging all purchuised software into one (like a hub) Making easier switch to "Edit originals" Fully featured editors inside Publisher like: Raster and Vector Editors More awesome solution, we don't even imagine... I hope, in AP there will be functions like: Fast and robust preflight (this is must have) View Modes (from fast previews up to print previews) Ability to work on hundreds pages without problems (well optimized) Spell checking (in many languages) Many master pages Tool like data merge (or it's better brother :)) Styles for: Objects, paragraphs, characters and so on Easy end fast media containers to use Advanced font and acharacter proporties Saving and exporting in background Clean grouping solution Easy link manager And also I am affraid of: If it would be as powerfull as we love to be, have many great features AND would be integrated with other software (damn You @MattP) AP would be much expensive than rest of Affinity software family, or it would be insubscription plan. If not, holly molly, there will be no brainer to switch for Affinity in whole.
