I guess it’s not only me,
this splash screen is really ugly! I hope you put a feature on to turn it off. Sorry but this is not the artwork I prefer and I don’t like to be influenced by ugly looking designs at the beginning. Please ditch it!
I won't go as far as you, but I preffered the previous one, especially on the Mac

please give this to me as a gift?
I think he gave a very elaborate answer why giving you the brushes for free is not going to help you much. If you have bought Affinity Designer or Photo, there are already a good array of brushes to get you started with whatever it is you want to make. If you don't yet know what you want the use the brushes for, try them all out, see what they do. Try to recreate works by others to see how they can be used. As a brush collector and sometimes brush creator I can understand the desire to try new tools all the time, but really if the structure, the idea and the hard work is not there, none of these brushes will help you archieve real growth.

This is the Mac Beta forum, but the screenshot is from the iOS version. Is it the same in the Mac beta?

I knew this issue was familiar! 😁
Still hope this can be fixed though! 🤞

I am using High Sierra (10.13) so perhaps that could be a reason? I use a Intuos 5M Touch.
-
I noticed in the latest beta that the pixel brush tool is broken again. It seems to read out the pressure from the Wacom Intuos in a wrong way, so light strokes are not registered, and with slightly more pressure a line suddenly appears with full pressure, without any transition. See the video to see the difference between the retail and the beta versions. I used a default pencil in both accounts and the Wacom settings are the same too.

Divide blend mode should drastically lighten the image but the blend mode that does the exact opposite of Multiply is Screen.
I must have things messed up. I once saw a video on YT (have tried to find it, unsuccesfully) where a blending mode was shown doing the opposite of multiply. This would allow me to have one color, FI the blue on the top image, and mix it with a darker color I wanted to have, and the result of the blending was a lighter color. When I overlaid a blue shape with another shape in the lighter color and set it to multiply, the result would be the darker color. I hope this makes sense?
I work a lot with overlapping color shapes in multiply mode for my illustration, so being able to define colors in this way would be useful.
-
The new Divide blend mode does not work as it should in CMYK documents. It should do the exact opposite of multiply, which it does in RGB. In CMYK, the result is different. See the screenshots:

Thank you. I hope this can be changed so it is less obtrusive. It should only be visible when rezising the brush in my Opinion. It makes no sense to have it there otherwise. It is annoying and distracting to have it pop-up everytime I finish a stroke or pan the canvas.
EDIT: this is still there in the latest Beta. Should I make a thread there to bring it to the attention?
-
Thanks for looking into this!

I also noticed that the timelapse is not saved when the document is closed and reopened. It just takes the start of the new session as the start of the timelapse. Is this in some way connected to using the "save history with document" feature? I have this disabled as I don't use this in my work.

I made this illustration based on a picture book from the 1960s with illustrations made by Doris Dumler. I tried to recreate it using Designer, usng the Shinznizzle styles for texture and patterns. It was interesting how a convincing mid-century look can be recreated.

Here is the timelapse, and the preview image as a PNG

I really like the new timelapse feature, as its a nice way to share the process of an illustration. However, I did notice that when I create a timelapse of a CMYK document, it will have very different colors. I guess it only works for RGB? Will there be a setting to change this?

I like it. Definitely captured that feel, somewhat along the lines of the vintage travel posters featuring ocean liners.
Thank you very much. I was trying to create this vintage feel from old posters and matchboxes and stuff. Trying to create the small imperfections in vectors to make it believable is what I am trying to work on.

To battle procrastination, I recreated this illustration in Affinity Designer, only in the Vector persona. I tried to archive a vintage and organic looking illustration using only vector tools and assets. Only raster addition are some grainy PNG texture overlays. I hope you enjoy it.

One really annoying bug (feature??) in Affinity Designer on ipad is the constant return of the brush size indicator in the middle of the screen. Every time I pan or zoom or rotate the canvas while using the brush tools it is shown, which is just very distracting and annoying. The only time this needs to be visible is whan I change the brush size, otherwise there is no logical reason for it being there.

@waveman777 - Having 100% vector brushes (beyond the top two in the "pens" category) along with the ability to edit and build our own 100% vector brushes is something that's been requested many times for several years now by the Affinity user community. I work in the screen print industry and most work I do requires 100% vector output. Many are hoping Serif hears our requests and implement it in an upcoming version soon. We love Affinity - we just need certain tools to properly do our work with it
If Serif would add true vector brushes, it would reduce the need to look for alternatives. As it stands, Affinity lacks some hard core vector options, like vector transformations, vector knife and eraser and true vector brushes. If your work requires the output of pure vector graphics, you might have to try another app. Vectorstyler is in beta right now and is a lot more like illustrator, so that might suit your needs better. However it is more difficult to work with than Affinity, and the UI is not as polished.
One thing I do appreciate about the vector brushes in Affinity, is the direct visual feedback you get, which makes it a lot easier to judge the drawing. Also these raster based brushes are a lot better for more complex brush strokes, which makes other apps quite laggy.

Thank you for your comments!

I created this illustration using only the vector tools in Affinity Designer. I created the shapes of the 3 colors with the pen tool first. Then I played around with the colors. To be able to create a less clean look I then created new layers/groups for each color using the previously created shapes to create a mask. Of course I could have used the raster tools now to create natural textures, but this time I wanted to try if I could create a good result using vector brushes to fill the shape. I must say I am quite pleased with the result, with the big benefit of being able to easily edit the strokes and the colors afterwards. Also, it is a pretty fast way to fill larger shapes with a non uniform fill. Now that we have the select same fill/stroke color it is even easier to make changes. I hope you like it!

As it says in the description, I get consistent crashes when I try to delete categories of assets. I work on a non-metal iMac 2011 with High Sierra.

I would love to see something like procreates quick shape feature, but for the vector pencil and perhaps vector brush. I think it would be very useful to quickly create circles, ellipses, triangles and other shapes while simply drawing them. Plus and because they are vectors, they can then be edited in every way you would want.
Brush size indicator showing up after every stroke

I have been annoyed by this is the past, and I hoped this would be addressed in the new version: Every time after I have drawn a stroke with the brush or pixel or vector brush tool, a circle indicating the brush size pops up in the middle of the screen. This is extremely annoying and unneccesary. It distrubs the flow of drawing in the app to such a degree that I tend to avoid it altogether. Why can't we get rid of this, as it has no function whatsoever?
