I've been helping someone by email who is reporting that the Red Eye Removal tool in Photo persona isn't working. He's followed the help steps and seen a video of it in action. There is only one image layer, and it seems from his screenshots that the blue marquee region is not drawing when the cursor is dragged.
Any advice? Thanks, Dale.

Title says it - basic Affinity Designer 1.2 design has two straight strokes made with the Pen tool, grouped, then aligned using any of the Alignment buttons I've added to the toolbar. The strokes seem to disappear from the design and from the Layers panel, where the objects remain but the thumbnail preview is empty.
The same operation with shapes (e.g. these strokes after applying Expand Stroke) is fine.
Ta!
> Whoops, thanks MEB.

Ta Chris. Andy T has fixed it already too.

From a suggestion on Twitter https://twitter.com/sldwlf/status/587269669377171456
This is about being able to edit documents and see the live updates without being in Separated mode. So editing it on the fly in place, all in the same document, and perhaps as tiled windows if others wish too.
Thanks.

After using View > Customise Tools to add separators, clicking Close to finish, the separators disappear after switching between personas and after restarting the app. I've only tested this in windowed mode. Reported by https://twitter.com/ValentinSvahn.
Thanks, Dale.

In this video I actually walk through the steps.
Actually used that to explain things further when supporting Neil - tweet limits make it hard to explain everything but the steps were there at 20:00m in your video! :) Thanks to you, Ronny, and others for their support!

Thanks guys, I had also recently recommended exporting all layers as slices in the same way as a workaround. I didn't specify PNG but can do.
Cheers!

Twitterer @neilfairbrother is an Affinity Designer user after some advice about working with Apple Motion. He's tried exporting from Affinity Designer as PSD but says layers aren't maintained on opening in Motion. Are there other tips and tricks other Motion users can advise?
Thanks! Dale.

Would one of you kind souls be willing to help improve my translation? I'd like to post news of this today on Facebook and maybe Twitter too, it would be a shame to interrupt the translator working on the apps with a random sentence. Thanks!
Um die Affinity Designer 1.2 Deutsche Übersetzung zu beheben, installieren Sie dieses kleine Update!

A user has screencapped this too if it helps: https://twitter.com/vhgalvao/status/584820449760124928
Changing document units also affects the preset that's being shown - when I tested in Affinity Designer 1.2 it seemed that the actual document size was unchanged, so just the dialog is going awry.
Thanks!

Best birthday wishes to Affinity Designer lead dev MattP! Hope you have a great weekend.

As per the title, I'm using a (saved) selection and trying to feather it, but it's being smoothed instead. Smoothing works.
Thanks, Dale.

Suggestion to move Lock and Unlock menu items from Edit menu to Layer menu. Are they used for more than Layers? If they lock adjustment layers, masks, and filter layers, are these still manageable from the Layers menu?
Ta!

Sorry if it appears rude to post a Google link - but I had to search online to find an answer for you, so you may as well see the information from the source to save me retyping it! :)
https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=adding+fonts+to+a+mac&oq=adding+fonts+to+a+mac
It's something you do in the operating system rather than in any one design program. To find fonts, consider searching for royalty free OpenType fonts or free fonts - it depends on your needs. Some well constructed and attractive fonts can be very expensive, and that may or may not be worth it for you. Some designers here can also add more useful tried and tested resources to help further.
Best wishes.

No Affinity Designer does not have such a tool, you'll have to use Affinity Photo for that kind of pixel wrangling.
But it's OK, it's free, and documents can move between Affinity Designer and Affinity Photo with ease. There's a common file format and a saveable Undo history that works across apps. Get the free Affinity Photo beta from https://affinity.serif.com/photo.

One note-I notice that you (People at Serif)will be posting on Facebook and Twitter. I hope that you will also provide the information in places outside those two. I am neither a Facebook nor a Twillter user-by choice-so if you could make sure that the information is available in some other venue, that would be great.
Yes Jim we'll also be proving information by email for those that have signed up to our betas (or the newsletter at https://affinity.serif.com/#newsletter) - not too often, we don't want to be spamming people. Plus we'll also be announcing important stuff here in the forums including new betas, launches, new issues of Affinity Review etc. New videos will automatically appear on Vimeo at http://vimeo.com/macaffinity.
Thanks for your support. Dale.

Hiya, found this via Twitter (thank you Vítor Galvão).
https://pbs.twimg.com/tweet_video/B_qMXs1UsAAqGPX.mp4
Typing e.g. 1AA99D into the hex field of the colour selector dialog results in a changed value when you press Enter. The change is different for different colour selector modes (RGB vs CMYK vs Hue). Only seems to work right when the HSL Colour Wheel is displayed.
Cheers, Dale.

Hi Mark
If you click the gradient icon on the Channels panel for your Alpha channel, it'll create you a luminosity layer where the alpha is black, does that help?

Hi,
I just changed my computer and I was trying to install the Affinity Photo beta but I'm not allowed to sign up because it says that I already signed up with my email address.
Is there a link where I can log in and download the latest beta?
Thank you for your help.
Best,
Carlos
PM sent with link Carlos, cheers, Dale.
