[Official Affinity Photo (V2) Tutorials]

When will the videos be available in languages other than English?

One of the reasons we have migrated to YouTube for our video tutorials is that the in-built auto translate is quite good. If you select closed captions your language should be auto-detected, or you can choose your preferred language for the captions.

Also, there is a couple more about Affinity Publisher coming next week.

Tomorrow we have a creative session about Affinity Publisher from our new in-house Affinity Publisher expert Emily Goater. Hope to see you there at 4pm BST! 

[Introducing... Affinity Spotlight]

@pmabdullah87 Thank you for the feedback! This is definitely something I will talk to the Web Dev team about for future iterations.

Interesting idea @Wosven, will discuss it with the Spotlight team

Thank so much to everyone who voted, we really appreciate it!

 

[Microsoft Windows Developer Awards 2018]

I'm thrilled to say that we won! 

 

 

[Introducing... Affinity Spotlight]

@Tourmaline Why, thank you! 

[Introducing... Affinity Spotlight]

Thank you all for the feedback so far, we really enjoyed making Affinity Spotlight!

 

It has been answered further up this thread, but just to reiterate, this project was developed by the web/systems and content team and has in no way affected the development timelines for any of our software releases.

 

I will also let the web team know about the RSS feed requests, its definitely something we will talk about!

 

@retrograde Hey Kevin! In answer to your question, content will always be there on Spotlight and we will just keep adding to it. It will not be replaced by new stuff.

[Introducing... Affinity Spotlight]

@Oval Just available in English language for the foresseable I'm afraid.

 

[Introducing... Affinity Spotlight]

I'm over the moon to tell you about the launch of Affinity Spotlight, the new place to go for creative inspiration, learning resources and Affinity news. Whether it’s features on artists and photographers using Affinity, tutorials on how to get the best from the apps, behind-the-scenes insight or news and updates, it will all be posted on Affinity Spotlight.

 

We’ve literally just made the site live and we’d love you to check it out!

 

https://affinityspotlight.com

This has been a real labour of love for our web dev team and our content team, and of course, this is just the start—we’ll be posting new stories and articles each week. We hope you like what we’ve done and enjoy reading our stories.

 

All the best,
Kate

[Affinity Photo 1.5 sneak peek: HDR and 360 image editing]

@thomGillespie - the 1.5 update is not in beta yet, this was just a sneak peak at some of the upcoming features. We expect the 1.5 beta for Affinity Photo on Mac to begin in around 3-4 weeks and we will release it on the app store when we feel it is ready.

 

@Paolo -  :D

 

@MBb & @livetheshot - Might be best waiting for the beta to look at the features in detail and to see the specifics for yourself as the devs are still working on the 1.5 update...

[Affinity Photo 1.5 sneak peek: HDR and 360 image editing]

Check out the sneak peek of the HDR and 360 image editing features coming to Affinity Photo 1.5!

 

Version 1.5 features announced today include:

 

• Advanced HDR merge producing full 32-bit linear colour space images

• An entirely new workspace for tone mapping

• Focus stacking to bring depth to multiple combined images

• Batch processing for smoother, faster workflow

• Macros to record and replay a set of commands

• An all-new way to edit 360 degree images

 

Some much anticipated features to look forward too here, coming soon to Affinity Photo...  :)

 

[Affinity Photo 中文教程 - Tutorials in Chinese]

Thats great news Shi Lichuan, really pleased to hear it!

 

Would love to see them when you are done too :)

[Affinity Photo 中文教程 - Tutorials in Chinese]

Hi Shi Lichuan, welcome to the forums!

 

I'm afraid this is not something we can give permission for as our content is protected. However, thats not to say we don't really appreciate your efforts!

 

I would recommend that you could make your own tutorial videos using the Chinese version of Affinity Photo and your own content... as far as I am aware there isn't anyone making this sort of learning material for Affinity in Chinese currently.   

 

Thanks!

 

Kate

[1.4.2 Mac updates out now]

@evtonic3 - It is always safer to back up any of your own assets, but as far as I am aware my user assets seem to have stayed intact since updating.

[1.4.2 Mac updates out now]

@Corsicaman - We are looking at having the 1.5 beta for Affinity Designer available  in the next couple of weeks or so, it has got loads of fab new features!

 

@uncle808us - If you haven't already, it might be an idea to make a new thread with any suggestions and improvements you think would be good for grids for the devs to take a look at.

 

@postmadesign - Hmmm, I don't know why you are experiencing that sorry. Can I suggest you make a new thread about these issues? The devs or Paolo from DAUB may be able to shed some light on it...

 

@Optikz @Kevin Day, it may take a little while for the updates to filter through all the MAS, so worth checking back later. It may also be worth restarting your machine and then checking for updates on the MAS.

[1.4.2 Mac updates out now]

Hi all,

 

The team have released the latest updates (1.4.2) for Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer, which focus on bug-fix updates, stability improvements and performance.

 

Visit your Mac App Store and click on the Updates page to get the latest releases now.

 

Key improvements

Fix for converting between widegamut RGB and sRGB profiles causing incorrect colours

Fix for converting colour profile/colour model not undoing correctly for inner glow effects

Fix for occasional crash with arrow shape

Fix for Rasterise causing layer effects to appear the wrong size if they were present on a scaled object

Fix for A1 (Press Ready) preset having the wrong dimensions for an A1 sheet

Fix for tool shortcut keys on international keyboards

Fix for scaling issues during copy/paste of text items

Improved RTF clipboard support

Slightly thinner text tool caret

No longer output file paths to PDF export, only use file names (for improved privacy)

Fix for line weight incorrectly scaling based on object size when applying Styles even when 'Scale with object' was deselected in the Stroke panel

Many PSD compatibility improvements, particularly when using 16 bit documents

Singleclick in the Art text tool no longer creates a new Art text object if you are already in caret mode on an Art text object

Improved SVG font export compatibility

Fix for SVG export generating invalid IDs

Fix for vector export of cropped bitmaps

Fix for PDF import of large images and soft masks

 

Though the focus is mainly on fixes this time we’ll be adding more exciting new features very soon in the upcoming 1.5 updates... In the meantime you can check out the Affinity Designer 1.5 sneak peek video here.

 

All the best!

As you may know, we now have a few iPad Pros at Affinity HQ and will be starting to devote more time to developing versions of Affinity for it in the coming months.

 

They are incredible bits of kit, and we think—especially in conjunction with the Pencil (and Affinity when it's available!)—the iPad Pro will be a serious tool for creatives.

 

Want to get your hands on one? We're entering anyone who helps spread our amazing App of the Year news on social media into a free draw!

 

All you need to do is:

 

Follow us on Twitter and retweet this tweet

 

OR

 

Like our Facebook page and share this post

 

The winner will be chosen at random and announced on this forum thread sometime on Friday the 18th December.

 

Best of luck!

[Salon de la Photo - PARIS 2015]

Hi BertranD,

 

We have no plans to attend this particular exhibition, but it looks great! Maybe we can look into it for next year?

Salut Bertrand ,

Nous avons pas l'intention d'assister à cette exposition particulière , mais il ressemble beaucoup ! Peut-être que nous pouvons examiner la question pour l'année prochaine ?
