Thanks for the swift reply. As I said, not using VPN. But you did put me on another track. I checked the store page on my phone (not connected to WiFi) and it shows € instead of BGN. So apparently it may have saomething to do with my internet connection or my browser settings. In any case, I'll figure it out somehow. If I find the culprit, I'll post it here.
Hi @Freek,
The Affinity store should default to the same currency of that of your location. If you are not seeing the same currency for you location, it is most likely either that you are using a VPN or a browser plugin is throwing the location off.
Is this only happening on one device, or is it happening on all devices that you access our website from? Assuming that it is only one device as I've never known it not be, then it will be some setting on that specific device and not something we have any control over.

UPDATING TO THIS VERSION (free for existing customers)
The software version can be seen on the splash screen and the About dialog (in Help > About Affinity Designer).
If you’ve purchased from the Affinity Store— each time you start the Affinity Store software it will check for updates and offer any available update. The latest update will install over the top of any earlier version, with no need to uninstall. You can download the latest installer by logging into the affinity store here and find the order in your account and use the "Download" button in there. Alternatively, this new release (and previous versions of Affinity Designer for Windows) can be downloaded from this link (that installer is NOT for Windows Store purchases and needs a product key).
If you’ve purchased from the Microsoft Store— Microsoft Store updates are done automatically by the operating system (each time you start the application). If this does not happen for you, open the Windows Store app and click the three dots in the top right corner of the app and then go to Downloads and Updates. Click Get Updates. This should hopefully force the update to show.

Hi Sean,
You're welcome.
I tried your suggestion of undocking the Character panel and vigorously started selecting text, switching text frames in between clicking. After 3 minutes, still no crash so I believe you're on the right track.
I docked the Character panel again and tried Ctrl selecting text again. No crash.
Closed the file. Opened it again, kept the Character panel docked and clicked away on the text. No crash.
Closed the file. Opened it again, turned the Character panel off. Ctrl clicked text. No crash.
So to me, it seems undocking the panel did something to make the bug go away. Or it was just a coincidence ofcourse. In any case, good luck. And if you need more info I'll be glad to help out.
Hi,
Now that the webp extension works on Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge and Mozilla Firefox is it not about time to implement the webp export feature in Affinity Photo?

David
While not a resource, per se, it has many photos, graphics and calligraphy sets that pop up weekly. It's in my newsfeed and I'm very rarely disappointed in abduzeedo's content. Sometimes there's nothing better than to take five and gawk at some pretty pictures. :)

Hi guys! I've been working on this template file to create social media branding material for my clients.
I've managed to create a single file with multiple artboards (each one with it's export presets) ready for use.
You are welcome to delete the ones that you will not use (so you don't generate empty files on export).
It also includes flat icons from each platform just in case you might need them.
It's updated for 2017 according to this data from Social Sprout.
Hope you find it as useful as me.
Leave a comment if you like/use it. If you are going to post it anywhere else, please add the proper credits
I have made 10 free tone mapping presets. I have not seen any tone mapping presets for affinity photo so I made some for anybody who might want them. Of course they will not all work with every photo like all presets but I hope someone finds them useful : ) To upload them just click on the zip. file, then in the tone mapping persona on the presets menu; click "Import Presets", Enjoy!
Thanks!

Adobe is giving away 1000 Brushes by renowed artist Kyle T. Webster, in ABR format. If anyone is interested (they don't behave exactly the same, tested on Photoshop Elements 10), here is the link for the download page:
https://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/brushes.html
Best regards!
P. S.: I hope there are no legal problems with this.
[UPDATE] I copy here my answer about Licensing for these brushes:

So, I fell in love with Affinity after about an hour of playing with it. I bought it and started bringing my favorite assets over from Photoshop and Illustrator, including some styles I have been using for years on my web projects. I thought perhaps others could use them too, so here they are with a bonus set of sticker styles.
Enjoy if they're of interest to you.
UPDATE: New version 2.0! This time the gradients and strokes are tool editable. No more trips to the Effects Panel. This gives better and easier control of the styles.
BONUS: By request, 4 atmosphere styles. Included is the AD file with all styles applied for you to play with. Will likely only open in the latest beta. Sorry.
BONUS: Dream Metals styles! Aluminum, Gold, and Copper.
