Purpose: Improvements / Fixes Status: Release Candidate Requirements: Purchased Affinity Designer Mac App Store: Not Submitted Download: Here 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. Please note that if you use features which are only present in the Beta version then save your document, it will no longer open in the Mac App Store version. This is a Release Candidate build. It is our intention to submit this for review to Apple in the first week of December. Any help you could offer to stabilise and refine the product at this stage will be very gratefully received :) We won't be implementing any new features now for this version and we will be focusing on stabilising the product for the immediate future. We will obviously start adding more features again as soon as this update goes live. Improvements / Fixes - "Smart" alpha export - any exported / saved images will not contain an alpha channel if no pixels have alpha. This should help with DAM’s which hate alpha and with Xcode - which sometimes hates alpha. - Fixed issue whereby transparent areas of a palletised PNG export would be blue instead of transparent. - Attempted to automatically repair bad CMYK Levels values generated by older versions of Affinity Photo / Designer. - Fixed crashes caused by assigning a shortcut key to the place image tool. - Prevented boolean operations on artboards (!) - Stability improvements when moving artboards around. - Numerous localisation improvements.
