Can you make it then?
A shape with no fill/stroke and only layer effects?Of course, I can.
He did it (see above) -

Wacom has historically only supported 1024 pressure levels (and you must opt-in to receive more precision than that on modern devices).
(and you must opt-in to receive more precision than that on modern devices).I don't understand orange this.
I just want to remind you, Never use Windows lnk as the default scenario. It's bad.
(I use 8192 pressure pen) ☺️ -

That is just opacity @Aftemplate not fill opacity.
If you can pull off the effect though I would impressed.
I suppose you can just reverse it by starting with a gradient transparent blur and cutting out the shape though.
I know PS and affinity photos well.
This opacity
and fill opacity.
In both areas,
Affinity Photos with PS,
The results of the behavior are 100% consistent.I've done rigorous test comparisons in the past.

In Photoshop yes, Affinity as far as I know does not have layer fill opacity control so no. They have shape opacity, and layer opacity, but not layer fill opacity.
It's just in a different position. In this respect, affinity is much stronger than PS.

instead of simple blur and sharpening for brush. For digital paintings, the brush needs more filters.
This will unlock the horror potential of affinity real-time filters.
Adobe is powerless to fight back, they don't even have a ture real-time filter (PS Smart (Live) filter is a flawed flaw)
This will shatter PS status as a digital painting. (Greatly enriched brush expressiveness)
(And with very high performance.) Guaranteed by MacOS gpu drive performance leaps). Windows supports GPU acceleration in the future, Guaranteed by the lead developer.
PhotoLine and Krita support this feature, but both lack GPU acceleration. (The lack of GPU acceleration drive this feature is ridiculous, they even limit the brush size at a lower level because of their poor performance)The outstanding performance of affinity easily harnesses this disruptive feature. Even in very high brush size, get lightning-like speed.
Redefine the brush filter.

Dear Serif,
i have Designer and Photo and they not have option to disable antialiasing...
can you add an option to disable antialiasing in the 1.8 beta please?
thanks:)I think they should add an advanced user preference.
to add such options. (Lost warranty) -

Because the Apple keyboard has a 4th modifier, on Windows we have to use the right mouse button (which ends up being on the pen).
I fully understand what you mean.
But...
Windows will always have only 3 modifiers (absolutely don't use [Tab]and[Caps lock] key, which is extremely stupid). I'm not talking about you.
You can't make Windows own 4.
But...
Windows must have a modifier located on the keyboard. It is irreplaceable.
As you said, different devices, different keyboard layouts. It's hard to have a panacea.
Affinity designers and photos are not text office, more often, are used for graphics rather than text input.
You should give Windows modifiers, but you don't know what modifiers are reasonable.
There are many useless keys: Home, Ins(insert), and more, and a lot of multimedia keys.
Simply provide this modifier preference. Let the user decide for themselves that they will pick the suitable key as a modifier.
Do you agree with this? If you don't agree, please explain your reasons.
Don't let the problem complicate it, it's so simple.When you are about to make certain decisions, it is best to ask users for their opinions instead of making your own decisions.
IMHO, your decision to make Windows lose this modifier on the keyboard is extremely unreasonable.For digital painting, the pen-side keys cannot replace the convenience of the keyboard. (I don’t use the side keys of any pen. Although it has)
Digital painting adjusts this frequently, and your decision greatly reduces this efficiency. This is unacceptable. -
The latest news(Confirmed that this feature will definitely be supported in the future)
Nvidia with AMD and Intel video card in Windows Affinity. -

Could it be that i've seen this ground breaking new functionality (or at least something coming close) in Logoist 4?
I want to see it among the affinity designers.
It's beautiful, isn't it. -

Looks like it.
- Adobe Illustrators "Freeform gradients" were introduced in Illustrator 2019, released around november 2019.
- Logoist 4 introduced "Multipoint Gradients" ("Use innovative new gradients by specifying color points, lines and Bézier curves") in april 2020.
Good tip, thank you.
Affinity designers absolutely want this!
This feature is significant for vector coloring.
It should be considered a basic necessary function. -

I know what points, edges, and faces are.
How would one set options for selecting them? How would that help in a dense set of layers?
Basically: what would your function do and how would someone use it? So far you have a bunch of words and no description to let anyone (including the Developers) see into your mind to figure out what you really want. It's especially important to provide a good explanation because you can't even point to another app and say "like X did it" because you're asking for something revolutionary that no one else has implemented.
(This is all my opinion, of course. It's possible that what you're asking for is crystal clear to everyone else, and the implementation is obvious.)
See the latest explanation above.
This allows for a quick repetition of a large number of choices.
As a result, it is easy to modify the current project with large and significant changes on a large scale. -

I think what the OP means is that they would like to be able to have a selection filter that would allow for them to select the same type of components for multiple objects. Meaning…(perhaps)…one could select all the points of all the objects at the same time, or all the edges and points of the objects within a group at the same time, and then, presumably, perform some styling or transformation to them all.
If this is what they mean, I'm not sure the practical use. I can already select all the objects and style their strokes or "faces" (fills?) at the same time. And I'm not sure what I would do with just the points of an object selected.
Maybe I'm not understanding either.
That's not what I mean. Select the filter which is the #2 additional feature.
I mean:
When you select a lot of points
When you select a lot of edges
When you select many faces (closed edges)
And these point edge faces are located on different layers, so ...
You can't quickly select these point edge faces by selecting layers or group.
In particular, when these point edge faces are irregular.
This selection set: Allows you to remember the selected point edge face.
So you can quickly re-select them the next time.
Selecting a filter is an enhancement to above the #1 feature.If you select a layer or group to select them, this selects all of the vector items located in that layer or group.
Not selecting some of full vector items, But Pick full Vector items in for some points some edge some faces. instead of a full vector item.full vector items = vector item that is located on a layer.

Nothing slowing down in the background . Check all these things before posting here. Its something to do with DESIGNER.

Windows lnk spatial precision is also pretty bad - technically it's sub-pixel, but in practise you only get about 2 points per pixel.
Thank you for making me learn more!
Discarding this api is certainly good news. -

You are very much wrong.
I understand you would like to see GPU support in the Windows products, so would I, but spamming, tagging, and calling me out on the forum are not the best methods for motivating people.
I'm not motivating and urging you (Not to be faster)
You can complete this function at any future time.
I just want to know the latest progress about it. That's it. -

I honestly admit my mistake, please allow me to apologize to you. very sorry.
Please listen to me. . .
I do this only because. You seem to be evading the issue of GPU acceleration. Maybe my guess is incorrect.
I want to know the current progress, it's that simple. You only need to disclose a number, if convenient. (Optional)
What you may not know is that I use the MacOS version instead of the Windows version.
My friends are using the Windows version. I hope the affinity is better, this is my wish.
I don't want windows to miss features that are so important to performance.
Finally, I sincerely apologize to you again. -

I know to ask something that I have already asked other times, but the vectorization of an image is a basic function for many features so I allow myself to recoil the request: this is a function that I could not give up and go through the web or other applications actually tell Affinity that the program as it is not enough to perform its tasks. But I recognize a great value and so I hope very much to see soon the functions that we can no longer give up even on this suite from which everyone expects a lot.

We're looking at changing the shortcuts for the brush parameter values to solve this problem, as it affects other devices like laptop trackpads too.
You may not know...
Windows lnk api pressure sensing level is limited to a maximum of 2048 levels.
This is a devastating loss for the 8192 pressure pen. Because of Microsoft's restrictions on this API. -

Not really. How t=do point, edge, face come into it?
Or your proposed filters, point/edge, edge/face, etc.?
Also, I do understand Affinity Photo, but I have no idea what you mean by "Alpha constituency" (and Google does not help; it doesn't seem to be a recognized term) nor it being a "selection set of persistent memories". Neither of those make any sense to me.
No, filters are two different things.
Point = point
Edge = multiple points (at least 2)
Face = multiple edges closure (at least 3)
This function is achievable.
Filters are used to limit the selection of the above 3 categories. -

Alpha (opacity) allows loading as a selection area. It is essentially a selection set.
This channel(Alpha) allows (Boolean)loading(Temporary) and saving(permanent).
Affinity Photo has stopped saving directly back into Mac OS Photos
