Purpose: Improvements, Features, Fixes Status: Beta Requirements: Purchased Affinity Designer Mac App Store: Not submitted Download: https://s3.amazonaws...stomer Beta.dmg To use this beta, simply download the file from the link given above and double-click on the file to open the installer. Follow the instructions to install the beta version. The beta sits alongside the Mac App Store version and will not interfere with it. Important Notes: - This beta does not include the Corner Tool that you may have seen in our social media - it is still in development and is not ready for public beta today. - We’ve added three new blend modes in preparation for Affinity Photo: Lighter Colour, Darker Colour and Linear Light. If you use these blend modes in your document, then your document will not look the same when you load it back into the Mac App Store version as they will be replaced by Normal blend mode. Improvements/Fixes: - Colours used in the document should now match those shown in the UI and output. - Colour picker now picks the correct colour from the document. - Fix for stability issues caused by context toolbar changes. - Fix for Layers panel sometimes not allowing drag operations. - PSD export improvements. - Fix for Pan/Zoom spacebar functionality being intermittent, especially when using shortcuts to change tools. - Fix for right-click in brushes panel, etc. - Fix for missing histograms in the adjustment dialogs. - Improved Layer -> Rasterize logic. - Fix for document save logic that inadvertently caused an unmodified document to grow in size when saved. - Text highlight and caret now respect baseline advance. - Fix for many font UI-related issues. - Fix for gradient fill flyout menus not initialising with the correct gradient fill. - Added 'preserve alpha' option to Gaussian Blur effect. - Fix for studio tab logic causing incorrect placement of tabs. - Fix for window not restoring to correct size after switching away from Separated Mode. - Numerous other small fixes and tweaks.
