    Thank You @AdamW will surely download when i get my system updates done. Also thank you for sending this link, as i told you earlier the S3 link have less failure than the Store Link ... maybe the second need some optimization before it works okay ! BTW Thanks a lot, will revert asap !

    Hello @Andy Somerfield the download went smooth. One shot no issue at all, now i need to update and do some stuff with this version to see if it's okay ! Was the issues with the HSL crashing the app fixed ? I've planned a color replacement tutorial and HSL is one of the tools i will demonstrate there.

    Exactly what i meant ! That Home Persona can be an enhancement of the Welcome/Splash Screen allowing us to view our recent using miniatures. Don't laugh but we often give funny names to project thus making it a bit hard to find which one is the correct project. So having a welcome screen where we can view miniature of the project would help us quickly decide which one to open.

    Hello @Sean P Yes it is working now. Simply close and open the lid and got it fixed. Strange fix but it works

    Dear i would advice you to move from Lightroom to Luminar 3 coming on the 16th of december that you can get for a special price. Also, Luminar works very well teaming with Affinity Photo which (i guess) have fully or partially replaced Adobe PS in your workflow. The version 3 of Luminar have quite nice livrary management and cool improvements according to the linked contents. Blessings !

    Hello Team, Hello @MEB Remember i wrote about this in previous topic? I've noticed the Recolor Adjustment filter is still crashing the software, i believe this is also true to peoples using Affinity Photo. Can we expect a fix sooner than later ? Blessings !

    Okay ! Well i'm not on Mojave but High Sierra 10.13.6 and it was working fine prior to the new install (actually did it with the stable version too). Thanks for the tips, i have tried it and it's working fine ... Issue from Apple you said ?

    Hello Everyone, Well, i maybe missing something but i can't Zoom in and Out on ADesigner since the last beta install. Tried to reset stuffs in there but nothing does... Well it is something i use a lot on projects ... like i said maybe i'm missing something here on how to get it working again. Please instruct me and if it is a Bug of the new beta, please advice for a workaround. Blessings !

    Hey @Andy Somerfield this is great news ! Doing the download as soon as i can and will surely revert here.

    Coming back to this ! Most peoples on the forum have asked that tool and @MattP actually asked us to tell what we really want to achieve or do so that its helps him to implement something that fits. I say : the tool is on the official, so i'm just updating with more details to help the devs team. May you who read this feel free to add your 2 cents contributing for a better tool to be implemented. The linked video from my friend Tom Satori shows few of what i personally believe and would like to see possible with Affinity Blend/Replica tool when it is implemented.

    Hello everyone ! Today i want to ask a question that can lead to something interesting for the Affinity suite (Publisher - Designer and Photo). Well, we have all seen the recent updates and some brought satisfaction when other just brought tears but ... that's not my point here ! Just wanted to know : How will you feel if Serif comes up with a Home Persona or a Home Button ? I'm asking because personally it would be very helpful to be able to see actual working/worked on or simply opened/created project on its specific section. I've had hard time to find recent projects etc ... well i make use of the recently opened stuff or recent documents (whatever it is called)... it's good but it's not enough and dedicated place where i would be able to view miniatures of recent documents (i would limit this to .Af files only - no other format) and just click it to open it knowing what i"m opening. if i'm not wrong it is possible on the iPad version (someone to correct me here if needed) so why not on the desktop version and the current Beta Cycle is the best season to test it. Blessings !

    Hello @MEB sorry for this late reply but we have massive power outage in the town where i live, so sometime i'm okay and sometimes i'm just not. Please find attached the file i'm referring to. Please may you have better results than i do, please share the tips so that i can adjust on my side. Blessings ! New Uncle Mez FB.afdesign
  13. Uncle Mez
    Ok got it ! Now how can the blurriness be reduced (it's Ok that it can't be 100% fixed)? Please a non-technical Instruction would be of great help !
  14. Uncle Mez
    So you are saying the fact that there is still no way to fine tune or set proper anti aliasing with Affinity ... we get stuck until they fix it ?
  15. Uncle Mez
    Well i'm a bit surprised that some issues are coming back to the surface but maybe it's on my side ! 1- Have noticed my exports get blurry every time : tried to design in A3 then export in A4 then A5 size (PNG: is my mostly used - TIFF or PDF) which was working like a charm in previous release but now they get blurry 2- Went to my Affinity Preferences and now i see : Display (OpenGL, OpenGL Basic, Software) .... Never touched this before so i would like to know if changing one of this would fix the issue and what each one is or supposed to do. 3- What is Dither gradient ? Would it help ? in what conditions ? Just remember that the blurriness disappeared with one of the updates (can't recall which one) but now it's back ! So, Your help and support would be appreciated helping me fix this and get back on the road.
  16. Uncle Mez
    Y'Elloooooooooooo ! The weekend looks Good at the level i upgraded my Facebook Banner + Profile Picture. Despite the blurriness i get when exporting from Affinity products (came back again ) after so many fixes that made me so proud of the product. Took it and updated the thing, now let me share it with y"all here !
  17. Uncle Mez
    Well finally managed to get it loaded and installed on Mac without any issue. Load fast, no bug on load, also load my previous projects no problem ... Still i need to check if something is missing etc. Also Thanks for the Help manual it's more faster loading but still certain descriptions need to be developed or enlarged they just tell what the tool or the function is but nothing else. We are lacking of serious affinity content for learning so making a detailed help is okay ! Blessings !
  18. Uncle Mez
    Can't believe i just put this together and proposed Serif to implement a kind of neuronal network for all Affinity instances installed over the world to share knowledges and grow in intelligence ! Maybe too much watching of Terminator or Tony Stark made me think of such technology ... but i admit it would be great and good. Just need to avoid fall into the Matrix world.

    Hello @AdamW thank you so much for this update but ... the Affinity Store link is often failing when i download from that place when the other links you sent (Amazon S3 i think !!!) worked a charm and never failed a download. At the moment i'm writing this, my first download failed at 25% and i had to restart again. Please consider to check and fix the download sources as i suspect few guys here also failed from that link or from the software itself, look like the link drops or something similar. Please fix for better tomorrow. Blessings ! EDIT: Check the two capture i took from my laptop, the displayed sizes are different. The store show a different size than what the download manager display. Do i need to worry ?

    Well said and in respect to your words i would say this: The more serious software comes to Linux is the more devs and others will bring fixes and make the system better. The only guys who cares and really to make Linux better are the folks behind the terminal, those who consider graphical interface to be an abomination or a nightmare. Creative peoples are to conquer Linux in it's early hours with revolutionary tools like Affinity suite, look i'm not day dreaming but everything we see on windows started somewhere and finally grew; i just remember someone in this forum shared the very first Ui of inDesign and Adobe illustrator and .... these where just ... beurkish but peoples trusted it, liked it, supported it and finally the baby grew up to become one of the top ruler in today solution. Question: Can't Serif take a serious place on the sunny side with this great Affinity Suite ? The Jaapie (Mark Shuttleworth) like someone said is the guy who can be of great help if possible. He long time ago said Ubuntu will beat Windows and he actually was true at the point Ubuntu is the first distro to be installable inside windows because the giant named mirosoft realized this small one was to become a good friend. Just my 2 cents !
  21. Uncle Mez
    @TonyB you will get that money just stay calm and confident @Andy SomerfieldSomerfield Linux is simply a world with an ecosystem to conquer, nothing else, Affinity would run smoothly on Linux if we consider the fact Linux makes less use of resources than it's brothers (Windows and MacOs) also check projects like Pop! Is from system76, KDE Neon, Elementary OS, Fedora 30 (coming soon) and much more
  22. Uncle Mez
    Well that"s too much calculations and work arround. in my next video tuto i think i will show how to easily make ... but i will use another software, which ... something i'm not really fan of doing but !!! BTW thanks for the help !
  23. Uncle Mez
    it's working a charm on my side. now waiting to see it's reaction on new rss content
  24. Uncle Mez
    Okay ! here comes the proposition or question. I've noticed everything or all tone map we apply to a pixel layer (let's say i merged visible and decided to apply tone map to it) that operation is still destructive. I mean, tone mapping is very helpful but would be great if it become non-destructive. Okay maybe i'm missing a way to do that but i always : merged visible and applied tone mapping from that thus preserving the other layers ! if there is a way to tone map non-destructively please let me know if not yet then please Serif, make it happen. Blessings !

    Hello @Bri-Toon forgot about your question. Digital Art Studio is YouTube channel that upload graphic Design Tuto and video made with Affinity Designer (most of them) almost twice or more per week ! I just don't know who is the man/women behind that channel so just wanted to thank him in case he was here on the forum. it's been a long time since your channel was updated with a new content !
