Millenia pass and with Mark as its Emperor the Viltrumite nation grows from strength to strength. With peaceful expansion now on his mind, Mark reaches out to the farthest corners of the universe, discovering new planets and lost civilizations… not all are thriving. On one new planet, darkness has taken over, and its Masters have gone. A whisper calls out to Mark as he wanders the baron land, drawn to a castle in the distance. Wedged in its mighty wooden doors is a rusty old sword. Mark reaches out to grasp the hilt of this leftover relic. A sentence screams into Marks mind… “By the power of Greyskull, I HAVE THE POWER!!” Don't know why but I felt compelled to create this! lol Initial sketch - Artflow Inks - Clip Studio (I did attempt to ink in Designer with vectors, but just wasn't happy the results) Colours and Logo created in Affinity Designer. I also used Affinity Photo do to some liquify and fix elements. It's not perfect, but I'm attempting to create more!!!

Hi All,
Below is the list of all new feature and improvements which are included in the 2.3 beta (bug fix list is available here).
To learn more about these features please click on the link to go to each feature's dedicated post. To give feedback or report bugs against any of these features please reply to that same post (also check out bug reporting and feedback tips).
• Move Data Entry improvements
• New tags panel for adding Alt Text to images and objects
• Spiral Tool
• Ability to change Asset Panel background colour
• Fields now available in Find and Replace
• Pixel grid added
• "Keep selected" preference now available in Pencil Tool
• Create and place password protected PDFs
I should say in general we are now aiming to do slightly smaller updates more regularly than before so we can test and release in smaller chunks. This will allow us to get improvements and fixes out quicker, as well as having overall benefit to the stability of the apps.
The beta phase will now be shorter (4-6 weeks) for any update, and for that reason we will be avoiding any significant changes to functionality during beta as we focus on fixing bugs and correcting unintentional behaviour. This does mean that more of your improvement suggestions may need to wait until a future update (e.g. like some of the Move Data Entry suggestions you made during 2.2 beta which have now been added to 2.3), but please keep those suggestions coming!
Getting the 2.3 beta
If you have not enrolled into the beta program yet and would like to take part, you can do so here. This will immediately give you access to the latest 2.3 beta builds to try for yourself.
If you are already enrolled in the beta program you have two options:
1. If you still have the 2.2 beta installed, you can now run up those beta versions and you will be prompted to update them to the 2.3 beta.
2. If you have uninstalled the 2.2 beta, you will need to go back to Your Account -> Downloads and product keys and find your previous order for the Affinity Beta Software Program, and you can download the 2.3 beta from there.
Thanks,
Ash

Apps: All
Platforms: macOS, Windows and iPad
All Affinity apps now allow you to both create and place password protected PDFs.
Create
In the advanced export options for PDF files you will see two new options:
1. Require password to open. If you set a password here that means anyone who tries to open that PDF will be prompted to give this password before they can open it.
2. Permissions password. Here you can further protect the PDF with options for restricting printing, modification, editing and copying with a secondary password.
You will also see the type of encryption being used for the file in question. This is based on the PDF compatibility being used in Export. PDF 1.6 & 1.7 both use AES-128, PDF 2.0 uses AES-256. Password protection is not available with PDF 1.4, 1.5 or PDF/X file compatibility.

Passwords can be saved with the document preset, so for example you could have a preset of “Company Internal PDF” which both specifies the export settings, DPI, etc. you want for that type of document, but also the password settings.
Place
Previously you could not place password protected PDFs in Affinity. Now you can - when you attempt to place the PDF you will get a prompt asking you for the password for the document you are attempting to place.
 

We're running a Towers/Turrets challenge on the Affinity Designer - hands on group (winners entry gets pride of place on the group banner)... this is my example of a 100% vector turret.

This art was created for a Batman Meets Godzilla comic. I used Illustrator for the line art and Artrage for the color.

I made a video about how to use them... 
 

"A group of four scientists have discovered an entirely new shape which has 13 sides and has named it “the hat”. It is the first 'einstein' tile to have been found: a shape that can cover a plane without overlapping, leaving gaps, or repeating patterns" .... OH IS THAT SO!!!! LOL.... I've made a pattern from it  Bwa hahahaha (evil genius laugh)

I'm having an Ale, Beer and Cider festival in my garden with a few friends in a couple of weeks, so I've made this fake beer label (that I've stuck to an actual beer bottle after removing the original label). Designer entirely in Affinity designer... see if they can spot my label  (they don't speak German lol) 

Playing around with reflections, shadows and blurs with my brush set.

Started these AGES ago as just a fun experiment, thought I'd finish them now. Playing with textures, shadows, reflections.... colours. First started in V1 of Affinity Designer, but finished in V2... I used the warp tool on the wood reflection. I used a custom brush for the wood grain, so it's not a true vector, but not a wood grain dropped into a circle www.gsdesignstudio.co.uk www.facebook.com/GSDSAffinityBrushes
