Nik Collection in AP?
evtonic3 replied to skiphunt's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Does CMYK matter? I thought it was because my image was in CMYK, I mostly work in CMYK. -

MEB why are the plugins greyed out after installing per your instructions? -
Editing curves & shapes
evtonic3 replied to Uncommon's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
I am not going to pay attention to the way PS shows you things on their UI, but what is it you are trying to achieve? You mention add multiple paths to a shape- when you say path, is it a open path or a closed path (which to me is now a shape) In PS these paths are shown in the paths palette, which there isn't yet in AP. BTW I agree with PixelPest, you may find all the tools you need in AD alot easier to work with. AP may not have what you're looking for. -

Send a screenshot of your workspace where you can show that the pressure isn't working. This will give a clue based on how your workspace looks.

AP LAGGING AND FREEZING
evtonic3 replied to fmlfoto's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
I downloaded the file and opened it in AP. I am running an old 2009 Mac Pro 2.66 Quad with 8Gigs of RAM and I get pretty good results as far as speed. Although I am inpainting small areas and tried a live filter. The performance was good with hardly any lag. Sure there a little waiting but I wouldn't consider this lag. Take a look. Starfield.mov -
Noticed its not possible to name the brush or gradient overlays when added. Would be good to know what overlay is doing what on the images.

Since your op mentioned doing this in Designer, yet at your last comment you say that you wish to not have to revert to Photoshop, you should know that Photo is Photoshop's equivalent. So Designer is not really your app that you want to use with the Warp Tool.

color illustration
evtonic3 replied to Mmillecamps's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Here's my approach, way more destructive, but gets the job done. I also would probably make a duplicate of the curves layers in case you want to edit the shapes again. I cleaned up some layers to get to the curves only- for simplicity sake. -
Remove White on Picture
evtonic3 replied to Sirenix's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Yes I always thought that Hey this is great for purchased stock photos! And it is. I would suggest to those that are pushing this simple filter to do other than that is to make a duplicate first then apply the filter to the bottom one and add in on top (with a blank layer mask) what you didn't want touched. -
If there isn't already, there should be a video tutorial on how to resize up or down a document. Seen everything under the sun without really understanding this process.

So I need to undersize my artboards to prevent this? That's no good.- 7 replies

Printing Artboards
evtonic3 replied to evtonic3's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
This is what the print dialogue shows me, it want to move items off-center, really obvious in the second page, then I get a blank page at the end.- 7 replies

Brushes
evtonic3 replied to jackamus's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
THis is my last attempt to try to help Jackamus, I think I managed to get the stroke you are asking about in vector but since only you know what you're looking for then you can obviously dismiss this. And yes you can get very detailed if you went pixel brush on this, no limits there on painting. I just thought you were looking at doing this in vector. Anyway here's a screenshot of me trying to emulate a birds feather texture in tiny tapered strokes like you said, Don't laugh... -
Brushes
evtonic3 replied to jackamus's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Here is my setup at the moment after messing with all the settings I could think of. Jackamus, I noticed your brush is a typical shape, just wanted to know if you just need that brush profile to be vector? I know Affinity will bring more options to vector brushes, but I have to say I am quite happy with this right now, still gives me the feel of inking a graphic but in vector. I am using the pencil tool throughout all this btw. My Vector Brush.mov -
Gradient Map Presets?
evtonic3 replied to dhayton's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
I want to follow along on this topic but I got lost here MEB. Where is this found? And looking for saved gradient maps right? -
FIrst off, I have a tablet and in the draw persona I want to use a brush and use one from the basic category. Shouldn't I be able to pick one and it conform to the shape in the preview panel without me doing anything else? When I draw with one, I get a simple line with no tapering even though the preview shows there is. Predefined brushes are possible right?

If you just wanna fill pixels that are on a transparent layer and you want to "lock" the transparency, there is no direct equivalent yet like you described. A workaround that I was suggested was to use the paintbrush on the layer but to click on Protect Alpha, and then you'd have to manually brush over your layer, not a big deal I guess, but I do too wish it was available in Photo.

retaining patterns from pshop to affinity
evtonic3 replied to dizeyner's topic in Older Feedback & Suggestion Posts
Join the club, I've asked for this too, but I am afraid, these "little" improvements, although super important to you and me will be left for way on down the line before we see this added. They just have bigger fish to fry. Sucks. The only thing I can say to this is that the gradient tool does have a bitmap pattern option that you may can somehow make your projects work with it.
