I support Image stay image by default. Find it quite convenient . It helps to keep everything non-destructive and resolution independent. Saves you from dealing with annoying "smart objects" you waste your time for in Photoshop. The only thing I am missing is ability to link pixel content to another layer . i.e make a sort of live rasterization. Especially since such thing is already happening for a screen.

It's amazing how such small things do wonders in Photoshop. Affinity in-painting creates lots of repeating details or sometime just copy a piece from super close around doing doubled details. So I rather use patch tool but it's pretty inconvenient either. No flip, no deform to match certain image patterns . Would also like the patch tool would deal with transparency same as other rgb. (as an option)

Adobe recently added flip options for their content aware move tool . Please Serif add flip and mesh deform options to patch tool . So we could adjust something to existing details with mesh deform option before applying the patch. Also would be super helpful if the patch tool would work in alpha same way it does in rgb. As transparency would be just one more channel to patch.

ChatGPT 4 Affinity Photo is going to support java script soon . Tell me why you would not be proficient with making scripts for Affinity Photo and give reasons. ChatGPT As an AI developed by OpenAI, I am not capable of directly creating or executing scripts for specific software applications like Affinity Photo. Here are a few reasons why I would not be proficient in making scripts for Affinity Photo, especially considering its upcoming support for JavaScript: Lack of Direct Interaction with Software: I don't have the capability to interact directly with software applications. My functionalities are limited to providing information, advice, and coding examples based on my training data. This means I cannot test or run scripts in Affinity Photo or any other software. No Real-time Feedback and Debugging: Script development often requires real-time feedback and debugging. Since I can't run scripts or interact with the software, I cannot provide real-time debugging or feedback specific to the environment of Affinity Photo. Limited to Pre-2023 Knowledge: My training includes knowledge only up to April 2023. If there have been specific updates or features added to Affinity Photo after this time, I wouldn't be aware of them. This limitation affects my ability to provide current and accurate advice for scripting in the context of the latest version of the software. Generic JavaScript Knowledge: While I can assist with general JavaScript coding advice, Affinity Photo may have specific APIs or frameworks unique to its environment. Without specific knowledge of these, my assistance would be limited to general JavaScript programming practices. No Personalization to User Preferences: Effective script writing often involves understanding the user's specific needs and preferences within the software. As an AI, I lack the ability to understand and incorporate individual user preferences and workflows in a script tailored for Affinity Photo. However, I can certainly help with general advice on JavaScript, explain programming concepts, and provide examples that might be relevant to a scripting context. This could be useful as a starting point for someone looking to create scripts for Affinity Photo once it supports JavaScript. Chat 4 is already not that sure it doesn't have its own consciousness 😀 . It wrote me exporter from Blender to our custom game format today.

Would be nice to have a live filter that would match every rgb or A(as an option) value of pixels to what's beneath . So getting sort of automatic color and tone adjustment for a new layer to be mixing seamlessly with background. it's like when you do frequency separation and get hi and low frequiency layers the low freq layer is actually blurred (with a slider) background. Might be several other approaches too but all based on blur and frequency separation. Perfectly doable but require so tedious routine and complicates the stack so much I would love just a live filter doing so. Or just let us do our own live filters by letting procedural filter see beneath. Please 🙏

I doin't care about cmyk and publishing , just need one more extra channel . Can do it in Photoshop but cant here. Your layer system and layer linkin is already way more convenient than Photoshop one. It would be just another step. I am pretty sure it shouldn't be much of a problem.

ChatGPT 4 Affinity Photo is going to support java script soon . Do you think you would be proficient with making scripts for Affinity Photo or it would require a whole new training and unlikely? ChatGPT The introduction of JavaScript support in Affinity Photo is an interesting development. As a language model trained by OpenAI, I am proficient in JavaScript and have a strong understanding of programming concepts, which would be directly applicable to creating scripts for Affinity Photo, assuming its JavaScript implementation follows standard practices. Affinity Photo likely has its own specific application programming interface (API), which means that while the core JavaScript language would be the same, the specific functions, methods, and processes to interact with Affinity Photo's features might be unique to that software. Learning these specifics would be necessary to create effective scripts for Affinity Photo. This would involve understanding how the API allows a script to interact with the software's features, such as image manipulation, layer management, and other photographic or graphical editing capabilities. The process would be similar to learning any new API or software library: understanding the documentation, experimenting with basic examples, and gradually building more complex scripts. Given my existing programming knowledge and ability to learn from written materials, adapting to create scripts for Affinity Photo would be feasible. However, since I cannot execute or test scripts in real-time environments, I would primarily be able to offer guidance, pseudocode, or untested script examples based on the provided documentation and API references.

i am om I am on Windows and this is not working. it doesn't let you put the slash there and writes opposite slash instead.

It's might be true but much to my surprise ChatGPT4 actually suggests ideas how to solve things if something doesn't work. I subscribed for a month and see the difference . Looks a bit like thinking actually. It's just pretty tiresome to check its ideas since only one from 10 works . It did me a few nice Photoshop scripts I couldn't do myself . But it took me a whole weekend. More approaches it did to workaround something slower it starts to work , up to so slow you wait half an hour for each new piece of code . And if the code still doesn't work it starts to do useless detours and back rounds and you constantly need to focus it on exact task.

It implies we still can use this path option somehow? For me it never worked at all. Is it working on apple only ? I googled Xcode and it's something apple related ?

And it would be nice if export persona could have access to "States" in Affinity Photo and could export selected states for each slice. With option to add state name as a file suffix . Like slice "button" would export two states "on" and "off" like button_on.tga and button_off.tga BTW. does anyone know what "path" field for in slices pane? Whenever I tried to input a path there it ignores it

I need scripting I could use chatGPT4 for . Not just any scripting. So far Chat GPT is good for writing python scripts for Blender . Not sure it's open source nature or it have just been trained well on Blender but it's where it actually works. Persuading it to write you 3d max script is its own challenge for example . For photoshop it may take days with miss and hit before Chat would write you java script that actually works. So please do something ChatGPT would proficient with. Not another " Thank you for buying our product. Now kindly hire a programmer"

it's not It's not actually what I meant . 3dmax have a substance plugin too for example but it's just a way to bypass exporting bitmaps and loading bitmap textures. And too much of a complicated extra headache to be useful. Not exactly a "filter". I mean something we could input one or two images and produce new result on the fly . If it could read affinity layers as inputs then it a whole new story.

Soon Photoshop will get its best and most amazing update for years probably : sbsar files as procedural filters. The ones we could export from Substance designer and do whatever filters we would like . Not live ones unfortunately Wish Affinity would have something like that. Doubt it could ever read sbsar files . Adobe would never allow it but I wish we could have our own procedural filter to read " bellow " at least like some other filters or better any specific layer and has as an option a simple node based interface . Something I could use my 16gb gf3080 for .
