  1. Version 2.3.1 Mac M1 with and without Acceleration repeatable. I placed(File->Place) an PDF File with 4 pages. Made 3 copies with Command-C Command-V Grouped all four. Then I chose pages 1-4 in the ArtBoard setting in the context menu so that each PDF page was visible. After saving, closing the document and reopening it, the page settings are random.
  2. Hi everyone these are some styles i created for use on individual letters , hope there good enough for everyone to find a use case for them. this is my first go at creating styles it is a 148.59MB DOWNLOAD. S.L_LETTER_STYLES.afstyles
  3. So I have a project I just finished that was a live document. I kid you not, as I’m clicking to go hit save or export or something to make a hard copy… the program glitches, crashes. I go back in to reopen the file, but it instead duplicated 3 project folders somehow… there is a thumbnail of the file inside but no live document to open (it says 0) so I can’t save it from the dashboard. I assumed there would be some temp folder for the cached files I could scrounge for and reopen the last instance, but I can’t find one and don’t see any mention of one. Is it hidden in system folders? I am so frustrated. In other programs, this would be the natural troubleshooting but not here… is there some way to restore a file from cache or did I just lose a lot of work because the file corrupted/disappeared? I have my files stored in the iPad, not syncing to a cloud. edit; I can rename the folder, which renames all 3. I tried updating, restarting the app and iPad.

  5. I like the "Displace-Filter" very much, have it used for painterly effects like this.
  6. Windows 10 Pro x64 Affinity Photo 2.2.0 To be clear at the start, I am not asking for: Instructions on tools, or changes to tools. Instructions on hotkeys, or changes to hotkeys. Instructions on changing cursors, or any new cursors. Instructions on changing macros, or any new macros. Here is a very simple example of what I would like to see happen: Open an image file. Type CTRL-A. The entire image is now selected. (Yes, there are easier ways to see the dimensions of an entire image. But this is the simplest example I could think of.) What are the dimensions of what I have selected? I would like to see this information on my screen, preferably in the Info box. I would not like to have to click additional tools or keyboard combinations in order to see it. I would like it to be displayed in the Info box at all times (if something is selected, of course). Whether the selection has been made with a keyboard shortcut, or a lasso, or a magic wand, or a color-range-select -- none of that should matter. If a region(s) is selected, I would like to see the height and width of what is currently selected displayed in the Info box. I hope I am being clear, but if you have any questions about what I mean, do please ask me. Please be as specific as you can about what I have been unclear about. Thank you. P.S. See also:

  9. In this Affinity Photo Tutorial I show how to use abstract motion blur artistically. Technically, this is not motion blur, but rather zoom blur, because a vanishing point must be observed. I'll first show how to apply the zoom blur to just the train. Then I'll show how you can do it exactly the other way around. This requires some preparation, such as determining the vanishing point, creating a selection, and of course, understanding the difference between motion blur and zoom blur. Of course, you can apply the effect to anything that moves: a car, a dog, a projectile. I wish you much fun. Ciao Jack
  10. Currently when resizing a selection, the selection resamples the nearest neighbor outside the selection. The result is that a resized image that has edged that have been feathered or blended into a gradient due to the algorithm used to resample when stretching the image. I'd like to suggest that the move tool gains an option to select the type of sampling algorithm used, with one option be none, to permit the creation of variegated flood filled rectangle based upon selection without the feathering/blending effect or utilizing a different sampling algorithm. This feature would be applicable to Photo or Design where pixel selections can be selected and transformed. The need for this feature goes as far back as early V1 days - I've found numerous reports of this problem with no suitable solution implemented.
  11. Made in Affinity Photo as a Happy Birthday card.
  12. Continuing my work with Affinity Photo and DAP Pro 7 I created this portrait version of a photograph that came with DrawPlus X8. The painting effect was enhanced by the use of Tone Mapping and the development persona to give it an authentic painted look. The small JPG was exported from Affinity Photo. I hope you can see the paintbrush textures.
  13. This is the first watercolor portrait that I've created in Affinity Photo. I think the result came out not too bad.
  14. I would like to submit a request for GeoTIFF metadata support. This is a popular format in cartography and similar industries. Since GeoTIFF is compatible with the TIFF standard, Affinity Photo is able to open the image. Unfortunately, the typical GeoTIFF tags are irretrievably lost in this process. At the moment, there are few graphics programs that support GeoTIFF metadata, e.g. GIMP. I don't expect Affinity to fully support this type of files as it is a graphics program, but the ability to edit files without losing metadata would be a nice addition.
  15. When I create a live brightness range mask, I can select which preset I want to use. So far it works fine, but when I close it and open it a second time, only the curve is displayed and the name of the preset, i.e. Highlights, Midtones or Shadows, is no longer shown. I think the error is not necessarily new in V2.4 of Affinity Photo. In addition, the opacity is set to 1% when a preset is selected. Attached screenshot Bildschirmaufnahme 2024-03-05 um 18.25.26.mov
  16. Hey folks, I've noticed a problem in Affinity Photo 2, affecting both iPad and desktop versions, where changing a layer's fill opacity via the FX options from 100 % to anything between 100 and 0 % doesn't hide the layers contents as expected. Instead, the contents remain visible 100 % at all times. This seems similar to a previously mentioned, but seemingly solved issue with the 3D effect in Affinity Designer, indicating a possible consistent rendering issue with layer effects and fill opacity settings. To reproduce the Bevel / Emboss visibility issue, follow these steps: Open Affinity Photo 2 on either an iPad or desktop and create a new layer. On this layer, draw anything using any colour of your choice. Apply the Bevel / Emboss effect to the drawn layer. Reduce the layer's fill opacity to 0%. Expected Outcome: The layer contents should become invisible, leaving only the Bevel / Emboss effect visible. Actual Outcome: Despite reducing fill opacity to 0%, both the layer contents and the Bevel / Emboss effect remain visible, suggesting that the expected change in visibility does not occur. I'm looking for insights or workarounds from anyone who has encountered this. Any feedback or suggestions would be appreciated. Cheers Dennis
  17. I am bewildered and am now at my wits end... maybe someone here can help shed some light on this issue. Using Photo, all was well until I updated to 2.4. Since the update I am experiencing significant screen glitches, which I can replicate 100% of the time. It does not matter if I create a new document, open an existing Affinity document, or a tiff. When opened, and the View (H) tool is selected by default, moving the tool over the image causes the screen to go black, then starts drawing a pixelated path around the screen as I move the mouse. Double clicking will sometimes restore the screen but only temporarily. Clicking V for the Move tool, corrects that issue, but the problem can reoccur at random. Troubleshooting: I deleted Photo, then downloaded a fresh dng file from the Affinity server. No difference. I updated the firmware on my BenQ monitor. No difference. Made certain macOS Sonoma screen recording.mov is up-to-date. Experimented with different settings in the Performance preferences for Display and Hardware acceleration. No difference. Curiosities: I still have Photo v1 and it operates correctly. No glitches. I have Photo 2 Beta 2.4.0, and it operates correctly. Since it does, I felt it safe to update Photo. All my other applications operate properly. I attempted to do a screen recording to demonstrate this, but when I start the screen recording, the problem does not appear. As a result, I took a video with my iPhone to demonstrate the problem Operating Enviornement Mac Studio M2 Max 32 GB macOS Sonoma 14.3.1 BenQ SW272Q monitor v7 firmware Suggestions? Is it possible that either/or Photo v1 and/or Photo 2 Beta are interfering? As it stands now, I can do my editing in Photo 2 Beta, but this issue needs to be resolved. Thanks in advance for insights or helpful advice. Robert
  18. Millenia pass and with Mark as its Emperor the Viltrumite nation grows from strength to strength. With peaceful expansion now on his mind, Mark reaches out to the farthest corners of the universe, discovering new planets and lost civilizations… not all are thriving. On one new planet, darkness has taken over, and its Masters have gone. A whisper calls out to Mark as he wanders the baron land, drawn to a castle in the distance. Wedged in its mighty wooden doors is a rusty old sword. Mark reaches out to grasp the hilt of this leftover relic. A sentence screams into Marks mind… “By the power of Greyskull, I HAVE THE POWER!!” Don't know why but I felt compelled to create this! lol Initial sketch - Artflow Inks - Clip Studio (I did attempt to ink in Designer with vectors, but just wasn't happy the results) Colours and Logo created in Affinity Designer. I also used Affinity Photo do to some liquify and fix elements. It's not perfect, but I'm attempting to create more!!!
  19. This is a paper quiz round based on the Wheel of fortune a British television game show for the next quiz night at my local indoor bowls club. Everything done in Aphoto apart from the border around the letters and blanks.
  20. Hi, In this Affinity Photo Tutorial I show a typical situation: The photo of the sunrise or sunset has become disappointing compared to reality. Simple techniques are shown here on how to bring back colors and dynamics. The Video-Tutorial has english subtitles. (You can activate english subtitles with the gear icon in the YouTube window.) I wish you fun. Your Affinity Jack
  21. Hello! I like how a Live Hue Mask can work in a similar way to Photoshop’s Color Range tool for selecting skin tones. It’s not perfect, but I can get a selection that’s 90 percent there. However, the other ten percent is the issue. Of course, you can remove elements from the mask with a black brush, but can’t paint in white. As such, what can I do to further build my selection other than refining the hue range? If there is nothing we can do, what is the best way I can select skin tones and mask it? AP2 seems to have nothing that’s suitable, which is frustrating. My typical use case is to mask skin, then apply a gradient map and pick suitable tones before moving on. In fact, I’m using Live Hue Masks to do this and also select complex textures like pet fur, flyaways, and other non-uniform elements. Thanks!
  22. Here's my latest upload and work in Affinity Photo! Please click the picture below and enjoy 2hrs of finest breakbeat alongside some coloring! Thanks for your precious time! @Team: Please add a button to flip the entire artboard in Photo not just single layers! Thanks <3
  23. When I crop an image, the image itself will be cropped, but the canvas remains still in the original size (see picture, blue frame of marking). When I now copy this cropped image to another Affinity Photo image or file it appears again in the original size - not in the cropped size. For me this looks like that cropping in Affinity Photo does not make a "physical" crop. How can I make a "real" physical crop? Should I always trim the image after cropping? I yes - what is the right way to trim? Can somebody tell me the best practice to crop an image physically? Thank you very much!
  24. What Application are you using? [Designer/Photo/Publisher] ... Photo Are you using the latest release version? ... yes Can you reproduce it? ... sadly, no Does it happen for a new document? ... Yes -- that is I had been working on it for about 10 minutes. If not can you upload a document that shows the problem? .. No If you cannot provide a sample document then please give an accurate description of the problem for example it should include most of the following: What is your operating system and version ... macOS Sonoma 14.3.1 Is hardware acceleration (in Preferences > Performance) ON or OFF ? ... whatever the default is What happened for you (and what you expected to happen) ... this is where it gets difficult. What happened is that Photos stopped responding. In fact, nothing would respond -- I tried all the tricks. Force-quit could not be invoked from the dock or from the three-key method. Some activity was possible including, thankfully, a screenshot (enclosed). I used Terminal on another Mac and could ssh into the unresponsive one -- I did a "ps", a "sudo kill -9 nnnn" on the Affinity process, which did not terminate the process or gain responsiveness back, and ultimately a "sudo reboot" to restart the Mac. Provide a recipe for creating the problem (step-by-step what you did) ... the best I can do is give you the screenshot. I will note that my intention was to rectify a fisheye lens image (or a part of it), had tried the "Layer > New Live Filter Layer > Distort > Lens Distortion ..." but that didn't produce the result I want. I looked for other "Lens" actions via the Help menu, found what you see in the screenshot ... end of story. Screenshots (very handy) or a screen capture/video .. OK, done. Any unusual hardware (like tablets or external monitors or drives that may affect things) or relevant other applications like font managers or display managers ... No. I do use an external display and Photo was using it. Did this same thing used to work and if so have you changed anything recently? (software or hardware) ... I've never had this happen before. AND, I'm can't claim absolutely that Photo caused the problem (Photo might have happened to be the active program when something else bad happened). I was hoping I could get a kernel dump or an application crash report .. no such luck. I'll look through the crash logs and see if I can find anything. I wish I could give you more to work with; this was a nasty failure. Terminal SSH.txt
  25. When I use a Basic ( or most any) paint brush in Aphoto and draw a true black line, it is semi-transparent. And ifn I draw over it the line it darkens when they intersect. Even with Opacity, Flow, and Hardness set to 100%. Why is that? Of course, it does not happen with Pixel, but why with Paint Brush?
