Hi, thanks for another beta update!! Coming fast and furious.
Two questions:
1). I know it says not for production use... I've created a print design in MAS release. Would it be harmful to open it in 1.5 and Export the PDF for the printer? Or would there even be any benefit, ie better PDF creation?
2). When I hit the Close menu or the "hard-to-see" close box on an AD document, if it's not been saved it asks to be Saved, I do so, and expect it then to Close. Except it doesn;t, I have to select Close again. Is this the intended behavior?
Thanks - Timber

One thing I don't see in the 1.5 release, that would be nice, is the ability to change the margin and bleed lines colors.
-
If you don't want to change the close box on open documents tabs so that users can see it and not have to hunt and peck - perhaps you could simply make it highlight when one hovers over it to give the clueless (me and others) a clue as to where it is. thanks for any consideration - Timber

Hi, not sure if by design or why, but I've noticed that if I place a graphic using the Place Image Tool and it's an Affinity Photo file, then I cannot apply a border to it. But if it's say a JPG file, I can add a black or white or any color border, change the width and the corner points. Not sure the reasoning of not being able to do the same with an .afphoto image?
Also when double-clicking or hitting the Edit button on an Affinity Photo placed image in Affinity Designer, it allows one to edit - in Affinity Designer. Yes, I know there's a pixel persona, but it seems it'd be nice if there was a preference to launch and edit in Affinity Photo and then return/update image.
While I'm at it, I'd love to see a preference item to lighten the close window check boxes. I still have to hunt and peck to find the close file box when I have multiple Affinity Photo documents tabs open or Affinity Designer documents open.
It reminds me of the small font, gray text on a gray background that Apple uses for serial numbers. Almost impossible to read, not at all user friendly.
Just some observations - Timber

Madame - Thanks, this workflow was perfect in acheiving the desired updated look to the pavement. Timber

Hi, for a real estate shot, we want to darken the parking lot pavement as it's needs and is getting a reseal top coat, but not before we need to use a photo. What is the best practice method to darken the pavement so it looks freshly sealed, but doesn't obscure the texture of the gravel one can see? i.e.. make it look artificial? Blend modes, brushes, etc? I'm sure it's a simple answer, but I'm not certain, so best to ask.
-
OK, an Aha moment. Thanks to the generous feedback and examples of responders, I see that objects need to be a sub-layer or a nested-layer of another layer, i.e. the "container". Still unclear about the little icons in the lower right corner of the Constrain dialog do, but am now able to get it to actually work.
-
Does this only apply to Artboards??
-
I'm lost at what constitutes a container? What is the bounding box that can be resized and the contents have contained actions?
Is it a grouping? Not sure what you mean by "bottom edge of the layer". Thanks for the generous efforts to enlighten me.
-
Meanwhile, perhaps some kind soul who's figured out Constraints can nudge me forward, I hope. :)

Hi, I've managed to figure out most of the new features - Text Styles, and even Symbols to a large degree, somehow using Constraints seems to elude me? Nothing in Help yet! No tool tips! Just nudge me in the right direction would be helpful. Actually a tutorial of covering all the new items, even though subject to change, would be immensely useful.
Thanks – Timber

Not a word. Is there even an Affinity Photo 1.5 in the works near term? I thought we might see at the same time as Affinity Designer 1.5 beta - which is today!
-
We've seen that Contraints & Symbols are coming to AD and there's the HDR posting about AP, but either the video is defective or I cannot figure out what the presenter is doing to get the HDR in this posting.
What else... is coming to Affinity Photo in version 1.5? Any tidbits or words to entice the eager and loyal following?
Looking forward to some new toys/tools to play/work with!

Hi all, have a winter photo that has numerous tree branches against a rather drab sky. I wanted to put a nicer blue sky with some interesting clouds in place of it. Am I correct in thinking that with the detailed and intricate masking needed to keep the branch details that I'm best of doing this using blend ranges, as described in
?Thanks much in advance. Cheers – Timber

Yes, I'm past ready for another excellent edition of Affinity Review. I need the excellent articles and inspiration! Cheers – Timber

Hi James, great explanations of the subject and questions that I had. Thank you – Timber
-
Anyone?
Perhaps whom ever did the Affinity tutorials on exposure stacking, etc?
Cheers – Timber

In reviewing the tutorial videos I've a few questions on exposure merging.
When, and why, to choose between Manual Exposure Merging and Stacking Exposure Merging?
What difference will HDR offer in a future version of Affinity Photo over Exposure Merging?
I see in the Stacking Exposure Merging the sample uses TIFF files. Can this be done with RAW files and or JPG's? or Affinity Photo files?
Is there a reason the start files were TIFFS and not JPGs?
So if one needs a TIFF or other file format, does one fully develop RAW files if that's what one is shooting, before merging the exported TIFF file?
What is the workflow difference if one starts with RAW?
Thanks in advance for any enlightenment on these processes.
Cheers - Timber

Hi Isabel, not to bug nor rush you.... any word on when your tutorial on this magnificent work will be online and available? There are many of us out here patiently waiting for you to finish the tutorial. Thanks - Timber

Nice example MEB - it has a photo realistic look to it! Timber
-
OK. I thought the question included enough detail and not too much.
Examples of what I'm trying to achieve would be good, so attached are three examples of the type of illustration I'd like to do.
-
Does anyone have any tutoriasl or samples of illustrations earth cross sections showing ground water contamination. What I'm trying to master is representing a section of land - that shows items on the land surface, say houses, yards, streams, factories, petrol stations, trees, etc. and the underlying geological structures that would include soils, aquifers, gravel, bedrock etc. to illustrate how leakage and spills from some activities can create pollution plumes that can travel and contaminate drinking water supplies in the subsurface aquifers. Getting the hang of getting the perspective, angles, representing the geological materials, etc. to make a cohesive impact-full illustration is eluding me. So a tutorial, or some AD files that I can take apart and examine would be most helpful. Thanks in advance - Timber
Photo 1.5 Beta 1 Cannot Export as PDF
in [ARCHIVE] Photo beta on macOS threads
Posted
Went to try exporting a PDF and screen hangs, does nothing. I can get out by hitting the esc key.
I can export in other formats.
Tried several files.
Can also save as PDF by going to Print > PDF > Save as PDF, just cannot Export as PDF.
