Okay I see how that works. Was there also a way to adjust the point location before you let go of the trackpad? In other words when you click you have access to the how the line is bent with the handles, is there a modifier that can let you switch from adjusting the handles to moving the node? Or do I have to set the point and then command click it afterwards?
Again I might be thinking of another drawing tool. I'm sorry that I can't remember if I am confusing different apps. I just had a lot of logo work to do and those little subtle changes in the pen tool can make a fairly big change when doing the same operation over and over.
Thanks

I haven't used Designer in a long time but it seems like it had some modifier button that let you change adjust a point after you laid it down? I might have been another drawing tool that did that but it has been such a long time since I needed to draw vector graphics that my memory is hazy. This is a fairly basic function but I didn't come across it when I was going through the Designer book recently (which is several years old.) Am I right to think that feature was available in Designer? I mostly use Affinity Photo.
-
I was looking through the settings and it doesn't look like it can do that as far as I know. Doesn't it seem weird that three of the buttons are working as expected?
UPDATE: I tried it just now and it isn't staying locked in the constrain setting now. I don't think I did anything to change it. I have been doing tutorials last night so maybe I accidentally
At first I thought it might be due to running the 2.1 beta but the problem was also coming up in Designer 1.11 and 2.0. I hope it doesn't happen again but it looks like I am set to keep working again!

It doesn't seem like the problem is with the Wacom. I switched over to Pages and tried switching off and on the shift express key. When I let go of it the letters immediately went from upper case back to lower case.
I haven't had a chance to set up specific shortcuts based on the individual programs so I can't figure out why the two pieces of software would work differently.
When you say toggle on/off switch do you mean a button that stays in one state until you click it again? I am not sure if Wacom has that feature? Also the other three buttons on the tablet work as expected. When I let go of those buttons they return to the default setting.
-
This doesn't happen when I let go of the other express keys, it goes back to the default position. If I use the keyboard and let go of the shift key if goes back to a rectangle shape. Why does only the Wacom shift key stay stuck in the constrained position after I let go of it?
-
I just discovered this problem in 2.0.3 so my guess is that the fix didn't make it into that release. I guess a lot of the bugs probably spilled over to the next update especially since 2.0 was so major.

Try sRGB for the web. But you can use a bigger colour space (eg Adobe RGB) and change it when you export.
Oh great, thanks! I remembered from Photoshop you would convert it from the mode menu and there wasn't a separate dialog box so I'll just have to get used to the new way.

How are you changing the colour mode? Document->Convert Format/ICC Profile?
No, I didn't do it that way. I was trying to change it under Affinity Photo > Preferences which doesn't seem to do anything.
I am in the dialog you mentioned now, is this where I select one of the RGBs under "color format?" This image will be going on the web so it seems like that is what I should pick?
-
I can’t figure out why since I think they were all scanned in the same. I will select a color but it just comes out in a shade of grey. I tried setting the color mode to sRGB or Adobe (1998) but in the top left corner of the window it continues to say “Generic Gray Gamma 2.2 Profile.” A grayscale image doesn't have to be scanned as color to later change it to color does? I don't need to rescan the photo right or do I?

I prioritize lower cost and innovation over compatibility
With Capture One Pro you definitely get what you pay for. The pre-sale updates go for $150 and are taking care of the issues I've been asking for with Affinity and Lightroom for years.

My whole Affinity Suite on the Monterey 12.3 is also much better/faster including loading times. I have Intel MBP 2017. Second thing I observed is that the latest update of Affinity apps also helped a lot.
I only tested it on my 2020 MacBook Pro a little bit. I also have a 2017 iMac that I haven't had access to for a while but I am curious as to how performance will be different there.

Today I updated my MacMini M1 to Monterey 12.3 and I have to say that the programs Affinity Designer and Affinity Photo start much faster.
I haven't noticed much change on my Intel Mac but I am glad it works better for you.

Is there a page that tells what new features are planned for AF Designer and AF Photo?
Many have pointed out that Apple is showing Affinity Publisher in it's ads for iPad Air 5. My guess is that this is where their attention is going at the moment. There is still one application in the lineup that hasn't been released even as a beta yet so it makes sense that this is their main focus.

It looks like a fix update, not a milestone.
The already did this with Affinity 1.6 which largely didn't include many new features.
-
Really?! Wow, I thought that was a standard feature now days.
-
My screen brightness is usually turned pretty far up so these forums are hard to look at when they are that bright. I just haven't found the setting to switch it on.
-
I switched to Capture One Pro I have been happy with the last two years of that. It's really caught up with nearly all the best features of Lightroom and I think is currently the best tool that does both cataloging and editing. Apple Photos extensions was an interesting idea but still think it's way behind Capture One. Also it will be on iPad now too.

I agree it is very disappointing that Affinity has not fixed this, it’s been broken for ages but I’m not sure I’d agree that Apple shares a responsibility to fix it.
Affinity Photo on Mac is a stable product the only major bug for me is with extensions. The whole point of Apple's Photo app was to leave the more advanced features up to the 3rd party development and I find that component of the app still lacking. Other then Affinity being broken it takes far too many clicks to get in and out of 3rd party editing tools. I think most people where think that Photos could eventually work as a good replacement for Aperture that was released so long ago. I think you should expect more from Apple because I think Serif has been doing a much more solid job in the pro Photo area then Apple as of late.
20 hours ago, rhmb said:Frankly, I don’t think this is a high priority for Affinity as it only affects some users, not all, and presumably is not having a major impact on sales.
The rest of the tool works very well so I'm sure that is why is sells so good.

If we are just starting the 1.10 cycle, then it might be months before it is finally released.
Usually it takes them close to a year to put out a major feature product update and we are currently 4 months past 1.9 getting released. Publisher isn't going to go another 8 months before they put out multiple service releases. I don't think 1.10 would make sense for a release that is purely a bug fix release. Unless 1.10 ends up being a very minor feature update or is all about maintenance updates like 1.6. A lot of tech goes with "tick-tock-tick" release cycles alternating between major and minor updates. If 1.10 is a smaller release between major ones that would be fine by me.
-
I have to wonder if Publisher won't continue with 1.9.x numbering scheme given that it is the one app that really has it's share of glitches yet to be fixed. I can't imagine them waiting until the next feature update of that product before issuing more bug fixes to the stable product. I also wonder if 1.10 will be as big of a feature release as 1.9 or if it will be something in between a smaller bug release and something like 1.9?
-
Also Photo doesn't seem to have a ton of major bugs on my end so they might as well start adding features while software like Publisher keeps squashing bugs. The only major bug I have is that the Affinity Photos extension in the Apple Photos is still as broken as ever. I see this as being half Apple's fault. The two companies should be working together to fix that.

Deselect shortcut not working in Photo
in [ARCHIVE] 2.5, 2.4, 2.3, 2.2 & 2.1 Other New Bugs and Issues in the Betas
Posted
The feature is working fine in Designer so it seems to be specific to Photo.
This is my first time posting for a beta (at least in version 2.x) and when I checked it didn't seem like anyone else posted this bug. I hope I didn't that right.
