Affintity Photo/Designer 1.10 is out, but this quite severe bug still exists! @Gabe, are you Affinity guys kidding us? It's unusable for people who work professionally in the print industry. 🤦♂️

BennyD replied to AdamW's topic in [ARCHIVE] Publisher beta on macOS threads
Thanks. Please add even more optional columns in the Ressource manager and make it part of studio. Cheers Benny -

Yes, but time is running out. I'm sticking with macOS High Sierra and Adobe CS5 on my Mac Mini from 2012 but I'm experiencing end of support for a lot of programs I want to continue to use already. I'd love to be able to switch to a more recent macOS but I'm quite forced to keep CS5 alive not only because Affinity doesn't get the spot colors right. But it is a key reason.

I totally agree. They could have saved the new features for 2.0 and better had been concentrating on bug fixing for 1.9 imho.

Another great way to easily create duo or tritone images would be to use a gradient map as an adjusment layer like in my attached file. But guess what, this doesn't make to a pdf with spot channels either. Seems to me the whole architecture how spot colors are handled isn't well designed, at least not with professional printing in mind. But what's the point of having spot colors and overprint then? I just don't get it. ornamental-cherry-4988024_1920_gradient-map.pdf ornamental-cherry-4988024_1920_gradient-map.afphoto

As of Version 1.9.3 this bug is still apperent. The export result from the attached afphoto file should be a pdf with two spot color channels when using the pdf/x-3:2003 preset. Unfortunately it's beeing converted into cmyk Any news on when it's beeing fixed? ornamental-cherry-4988024_1920_fill-layer.pdf ornamental-cherry-4988024_1920_fill-layer.afphoto

Feature Request : Brushes management
BennyD replied to Baptiste's topic in Feedback for Affinity Photo V1 on Desktop

Would be great if you support pure vector brushes in the future. Illustrator did it back then in CS5. Cheers. B

Thank you four your help. The final problem although is, that the slices don't have the bleed option which the artboards or pages (like I think of them) have and that I can't export the slices into one collected PDF. It's tricky.
-
cool, I mean b) Haven't tried that before. It's counter intuitive at the moment. For example, I have a large artboard with an object on it and I want to export two detail parts of that object so I make two new artboards which are children of the bigger artboard like the object is. But when I try to export those two artboards, they are empty, at least when I export them as slices. And when I try to put the object on one of the two detail artboards the object gets cropped, so I can't export the whole thing. I didn't know until now that the object needs to be no child of neither the bigger artboard nor the detail-artboards. I tried that instantly and realised it only works while exporting through the export dialog but not with exporting as slices But that's ok for now. cheers man. Feature will stay on the list. Needs to be improved. B ArtBoardSharing.afdesign

I just add for Affinity Designer: Object can share multiple Artboards

I just bring that collected feature request up while Version 1.9 is released. Man you've still got a whole lot to do.

same here. macOS 10.13.6

Still no scripting in 1.9? Man, what are you doing over there?

Just downloaded and installed Version 1.9.0 of the Affinity Suite and the Bug is still existent. Really sad. Please, please, please work on this for the next update.
-
Looks promising. Quite the same approach I had. Just take a Greyscale image and apply the spot color to it in Publisher. Interesting interference between Overprint and Multiply layer effect on the blue gradient. Sad though that it doesn't work in AF Photo the intuitive way. So for me the move to Affinity Suite for production is postponed again. Hopefully, we can do the switch with Version 2.0 at least. b

I managed to get a result with AF Publisher with the lag of preview. But it's far from beeing an ideal and intuitive solution Created an new Publisher CMYK Document Placed both channels as Grey Images Filled the grey images with spot colors from the swatch panel Set »Overprint« for the spot colors Export as PDF-X the funny thing is that I don't see a whole lot of difference to the previous AF Photo document when I open the Publisher File in photo except of missing Alpha transparency in the layers. I know that alpha transparency and spot colors has allways been an issue with Adobe CC as well. ornamental-cherry-4988024_1920_overprint.pdf ornamental-cherry-4988024_1920_overprint.afpub

Hey, it seems to affect also Pixel Layers. For my understanding it should work also like this, but doesn't Create new CMYK document. Create two Pixel layers Select top Pixel layer Load selection for first spot color from spare channel Select first spot/global color from document pallette Choose »Fill with Primary Color« from »Edit« menu Repeat for second Pixel layer for spot color two Export as PDF-X Have a PDF with Spot-Color Channel Video of workflow and file shared ornamental-cherry-4988024_1920_new.mp4 ornamental-cherry-4988024_1920_new.pdf ornamental-cherry-4988024_1920_new.afphoto

Ok, and can you tell me how I would create/simulate a two channel spot-color-duo-print? My approach would have been the following since there are no real spot color channels in AF photo. Create new CMYK document. Create fill layers for each spot color channel Select Pantone Spot Color Swatch for each layer Create layer Masks from Grey Images Set the top layer to Multiply method But How would you do that? ornamental-cherry-4988024_1920.afphoto

I've got the same problem. But it adds the color to global colors once I've select them in the Color Swatch Panel. Should work as simple as that, but doesn't Create new CMYK document. Create fill layer Select Pantone Spot Color Swatch Export as PDF-X Have a PDF with Spot-Color Channel I use AF photo 1.8.3 Spot-Color.afphoto Spot-Color-2.afphoto Spot-Color-2.pdf Spot-Color.pdf

Any News on proxy icons? They are still needed. Really.

You do know that there do people exist who print things themselves, don't you?

Editing with Persona (or not)
BennyD replied to Catshill's topic in Feedback for Affinity Publisher V1 on Desktop
Isn't that actually a really weird and confusing approach? I mean, to do it differently on just different kind of sources? What a mess. The resources panel says it's linked but then when editing it's been embedded. Would be nice to have an option to choose how it is handled. B
