  1. +100 for this feature. How could it still not be available? This is basic, Affinity team. Please don't torture us anymore.
  2. Thank you! I knew this. Not sure how it slipped my mind. Maybe I just had too many pallets open to notice the Fill window. Operator error, I confess.
  3. I'd also love to be able to export for CNC machines. This file converter may be a decent workaround while the developers get this implemented: https://cloudconvert.com/svg-to-dxf
  4. I'm getting reproducible behavior with this sequence: Make a selection on pixel layer>Edit>Fill>Deselect When I deselect, the unselected part from the original selection also fills, making the whole layer a solid color. See screen captures for the before and after. You can even see the selection is active in the before image. I found that this also happens when I use the keyboard shortcut SHIFT+F5 but it doesn't happen if I fill using the fill tool (paintbucket). I've been experiencing this for a while now. I think I noticed it even before I installed Mojave on my late 2015 iMac, but definitely ever since I installed Mojave.
  5. Don't make us beg. It seems silly to leave this feature out for so long. I'm working on an image in a blue key with lots of gradient. In some places I have to mostly guess where the guide is... even when zooming way in. Please bump this up on the feature request list.
  6. +1 for this feature request. I was surprised to find it missing. Seems pretty basic but I'm not a programmer.
  7. +1 for this feature request! I've been wondering if I'm just not searching hard enough but now it's confirmed. This seems like it should be a basic feature but it's probably more difficult to implement than we hope.
  8. I have both iPad and desktop for Mac versions. Are the freebies that come with this update usable on both iPad and desktop apps or just iPad? Thanks!
  9. Thanks for this, Carl. Very cool. If I understand correctly, this macro utilizes the distort command rather than resize document. That means you still lose control over resizing method (i.e. bilinear, bicubic, etc.). Can you verify this?
  10. Thanks for clarifying that, Glenar. Perhaps John Rostron is using ACDSee on Windows and overlooked that I'm working on a Mac. The search continues.
  11. Thanks V_KYR. I read the thread and am looking into using the distort feature. It seems like an unnecessarily complicated way to do this but some way is better than no way. I'm just curious if the distort method will cause a lower quality result since it looks like you can't specify the resize method (i.e. bilinear, bicubic, etc.).
  12. Thanks for that, stokerg. Good to know I can do this with batch editing. Unfortunately, for this case I don't always know what size I want until I open the image and have a look. I actually prefer to have a few options set in my macros so I can quickly compare before committing. For example I would have one macro set to resize document to 600 px tall, one 700 px tall, and one 800 px tall. I may try one and then just undo and try another one before. Super easy to do this with Photoshop. But I'm sure that phrase has been mentioned far too many times on this forum already. Maybe we'll get this in ability in future update.
  13. John, thanks for the information on how to do this, complicated as it is. Do you happen to know if this method allows to specify the resizing method (i.e. bilinear, bicubic, etc.)? If not, do you know what the default resizing method is?
  14. I'm having trouble creating a macro that resizes document to fixed height or width. For example, I want a macro that resizes document to 600 pixels tall while automatically adjusting width to maintain original aspect ratio of current working image. I attempted this by clicking record>resize document>height 600 px>press tab key (to affect the width proportionately)>click Resize>click stop recording. The resulting macro seems to sometimes work properly and sometimes it distorts the image by not resizing the width proportionate to the height.
  15. Thanks to everyone for the input. So far it looks like ACDSee is the only solution for Mac. I'll have to download their trial and give it a whirl.
  16. I'm on a Mac and am searching for an Affinity compatible DAM as well. One that correctly displays thumbnails for Affinity Photo as well as Designer would be much preferred. The Finder in OS X does display the thumbnails but it doesn't allow for resizing thumbnails/previews with a keyboard shortcut. I consider this feature to be basic for efficient DAM. I gave XnViewMP a try but that's falling short as well. I'd pay for a full-featured compatible DAM so chime in if anybody has found one for Mac.
