Similar request has been made for Designer1, but got ignored forever.
So basically the request is to be able to insert artboard with a manually defined size (currently just a list of phone screen size). It would be great if there are also commonly used size like A4 / US letter. Better if one can user define it (like 4''x6'').

I also just writing here to support several replies above. Having the artboard exported is very unintuitive. There should be at least an option to export in reverse order. 
Saying this due to the programming is just lame. Word start with page1 by default even if I am pretty sure the underline code count starting at 0. This is a UX problem, not a programing problem.
I am very disappointed this has been an issue for 7 years! without any improvement from the developer team, even at version 2!

Hey everyone. I need to know if there is a way to establish a page order when we export multiple artboards to a PDF. Currently, even though I set up my artboards in order, once they were exported, they actually came out in the reverse. So instead of 1 to 14, it came out 14 to 1 in page order.
 
 
How can I reverse this? Is there some way to also set the order on export and is there a certain way we must lay out our multiple documents in order to get the pages right all the time? Thanks.

From a technical point of view, you are very right, Dave. But from a user’s perspective things look a bit different, in my opinion. The Layers panel presents itself as a list, and according to all customs and conventions, it seems natural not to look at the bottom of a list to find the first item on the list. I am quite sure that nobody reads a list from bottom to top, regardless of the technical aspects that might underlie the creation of it … so the confusion is all too understandable …  ;)
 
Never mind, the implementation of a Pages panel should solve this problem …  :)
Cheers, Alex

I don’t know if the dev team monitors this forum. But I really wish I can escalate this. I might have to move to Adobe only because of this feature missing in AP

I second (or third?) this feature request!
The method mentioned below isn't a real alternative to what the OP (and myself) really required.
I believe what this does is to develop first and then apply adjustments on the developed file (presumably only 8-bit). On the other hand, developing persona does use the higher bit info (10/12/14 depends on your camera manufacture) in raw files. This will results in significant difference if one need to adjust aggressively.
Here is a demo attached: the first picture is process in batch with a macro (+3EV and some denoise tweak). For the 2nd picture, the same tweak is applied in develop persona. I intentionally used a way underexposed photo to exaggerate this (note the bright spot in the sky is moon). But you can see the difference is non-trivial

Note in your Layers Panel that this layer is labeled as "(Curves)", plural.
You can draw additional curves to a layer when activating this "Add New Curves To..." button:

Hello all,
I know this has been discussed countless times earlier, but I still can't wrap my head around about how this feature still isn't available by now.
As a timelapse photographer coming from Lightroom I need to process about 400 photos for each timelapse sequence. What is so difficult to just provide the feature of copy and pasting adjustments on one photo to a bunch of others? Or, since you provide the macro feature, use this also on the development panel? I really hope to see this feature in an update soon, or at least I'd like to have an explanation on why an apparently simple option like this can't be implemented.
I saw this topic being discussed for more than 5 years already. I really like AP and it's interface but this is a must have for me. Otherwise I need to go back to LR which is not what I want to.
Best regards
Mo

Dear all,
 
when I batch process several RAW (*.CR2) files to jpeg all jpegs are way too dark. They don't look nearly like the original. When I use the develop persona for each single RAW file instead, the files look almost the same like the original (but also a little darker then the original). This applies only, when all assistants (except for lens correction) are activated prior to processing (View > Assistant Manager > Develop Assistant). If all of these assistants are deactivated, the pictures differ a lot from the originals and are also way too dark - compared to the RAW files (files look like after batch processing).
 
Do you have an idea, what could be the reason for this? I am shooting pictures only in RAW with my camera and need to batch process all RAWs to jpegs afterwards. For now, I can't do this with Affinity Photo, because each single jpeg is way too dark.
 
For my understanding:
The Affinity Photo RAW converter should not change the RAW file in any way, as long as I don't change anything while developing (just import -> export to jpeg). Am I right? This is not the case when using Affinity Photo for RAW development - at least for me. The pictures always differ from the RAW file (they already differ after importing. Exporting seems not to be the problem).
sometimes differ slightly: single processing in develop persona with assistants activated.
sometimes differ very much: batch processing or single processing and all assistants deactivated.
 
When using "Camera RAW" (just import -> export to jpeg) without any changes, after exporting the pictures look exactly the same like the originals (RAW). So the RAW files are not corrupt.
 
OS: macOS 10.12.4
Affinity Photo: latest version available on app store
Camera: Canon EOS 70D (latest firmware)
 
Thank you very much in advance for any hints

Bump. Without a proper BATCH processor This program is Useless to Professionals. Any way I can get a refund?  This Bug seems to be here permanently. 

Hi there,
I've converted some images from Olympus Raw (orf) to png format by batch processing (File - New Batch Processing). Unfortunately the brightness of the png images is reduced a lot compared to the original ones. How can I fix this?

When you look into the PDF, the font is called Cambria Math. Illustrator complains about Cambria%20Math missing. Attached you will find a SVG with the equation and editable text.
Someone interested on how to convert the equation? Maybe interesting for those having only the PDF.

Is it possible to make Affinity Designer suitable for use with Windows Math Input Panel?  To make slides or ilustrations with mathematical formulas for scientific publications and presentations.
 
'Math Input Panel outputs equations in MathML format. MS Word, its OpenOffice analog, and some other software do render MathML.'
 
 

The functionality to switch between artistic and frame text would be a great addition to Designer... Illustrator's implementation of doing this (double click a specific node on a text object, or right click > convert to...) is a perfect example on how it should be handled.

Here's a thread with a whole bunch of other people wanting this as well.
