    Purchased a Sketch license! With webp support!

    Hi RC-R,

    No there is no CMYK support only sRGB and p3, because Sketch is made for application and webdesign (exactly what I do) . And about how it looks? Fantastic! They redesigned the whole app: Sketch website Think you had a old copy of Sketch that looked indeed horrible. I don't say that Affinity is all rubbish because I think it's excellent, but is missing important features for webdesign.

    I need to make a image with different art directions and export it in different sizes and image extensions at the same time (and save the setup as a preset) like *webp and jpg, that is used by *Edge, *Chrome, *Firefox, *Opera and more. There are not even plans for implementation of webp! I had to argue about it with Affinity developers and Sketch has it already built in. 

    I find Designer and Photo very conservative in it's development and more looking (technically) like my Adobe CS 6 Illustrator and Photoshop. Still I'm going to use them all, but I really need Sketch as well.

    Thanks for your replies!

    No a lot is changed in Sketch All the things RC-R is saying are fixed or you can use a plugin for it.

    It's not that I'm never going to use Afinity anymore, but want to give Sketch an other try. Extended the license I already had and did some multi sizes, multi extensions (including webp) exports in seconds that take me an hour in Affinity Photo or are impossible (because of the lack of a modern extension like webp).

    Hi,

    Just purchased a Bohemian Sketch license, because they offer full webp export support, multiple sizes and extensions and have a plugin structure that is widely used! It's pathetic that people on this forum have been asking for this and are turned away every time they do. Affinity could have great potential if they looked around and see what was really going on in the design world.

    All you get now is a kind of interpretation of Photoshop and Illustrator (with an outdated idea), but nothing new and  revolutionary like Sketch or many other applications that are there now too. It's a pity, because I was the one in our team advocating the use of Affinity Photo and Designer and everybody was skeptical about my choice. 

    Regards,

    David

    Actually, this area of the forum is about Designer - not a "photo editor".

     

    My post was placed here by the moderator, I created the post on Affinity for desktop that services both Photo and Designer.

    As a developer I would have opted for the features that have the widest support. Safari and IE have a considerable install base - so lacking webp support would be an issue for me

     

    Well Ben, That's your personal opinion and has nothing to do with the real world reality,  millions of websites use webp and jpg as fall back and even all image cloud services (like cloudinary)  do the same thing. Did you even looked at my code snippet!?  It's common 2019 technology that's used  by millions of developers around  the world. But If you think your personal opinion is more important then  legit arguments to make Affinity Photo more up to date with modern technology go ahead.

    Hi Patrick,

    No need to get all excited!

    We are discussing a photo editor Affinity that clearly states on their website "The standout choice for professionals".

    When we are talking about image extensions like webp and someone doesn't know  what webp is and how it is implemented in webdesign fair enough. But I understand that Ben is a Affinity developer and I find it rather strange that someone like that who is working on a photo editor  is asking a question like that. When It was just someone I could understand the ignorance, but I taste irony in that question.

    Why do you think webp is implemented in 3 major browsers? Because webdesigners make use of that possibility. 

    Regards,

    David

    It's not yet supported by Safari, though.  So are web developers really employing formats that are not universally supported by browsers?

    You could also say that all major browsers are supporting webp except for Safari! 

    With all due respect! It only proves to me that you don't know what you are talking about! It would be  nice if you take suggestions from Affinity users serious! 

    I show you some code of a background image in a website I created this week and this is how it's done in 2019:

    Hi,

    Now that Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome are able to handle webp I find in incredible that it's still not implemented in Affinity Photo and Designer. Hoped that Affinity was a bit more upfront with the latest developments as they happen, but unfortunately this is not the case. Every day I'm converting images from TIFF or  jpg to webp, but with an other application. The code for webp conversion is freely available on the Google website and easily  implemented. Be smart Affinity developers! Every web developer that's up to date  with it's skills is using it today.    

    Regards,

    David
