  1. I've been using the trial to test out Affinity Photo (Affinity Photo 2.0.4 on Windows 10), and I keep encountering semi-random stutter using it - like, the framerate of the application gets really low for a second or so. I was encountering this CONSTANTLY when I was adding a bunch of shapes to a document, like almost every time I would drag anything anywhere. To test a little bit, I created a new document with just a single image layer in it and nothing else, and if I just select the image and wiggle my cursor up and down, my cursor will occasionally stutter in the same way, even though I'm not even moving the image, just my cursor. This doesn't happen if I don't have the image selected, interestingly. Overall really happy with Affinity so I'm hoping this is solvable, would love to switch over to it as my go-to photo editing software!
  2. Hi Guys, I wanted to ask you guys a question, now that the background removal functionality is also embedded in iOS 16 and in the photos APP where you just have to long press on the image and the Photo APP automatically removes the Background for you. However it is not perfect, the end result often has some areas where you have to tidy up things either Paint out unwanted areas or paint in areas that have been missed. Now to do this what I do is for areas that have not been removed, on the background removed image I add a Mask and paint in with Black to remove the unwanted areas, and areas where I have to bring in the missed areas I add a Black Mask to it and then Paint in white to bring in the missed areas, and here is where the problem arises. So what happens is, after you remove the background using Apple’s Software the image is automatically resized to a new ratio and size, and for my task of bringing in missed areas I have to place the original image (Without the background removed ) on top of the background removed image but they do not fit/overlap on each other properly, because the original ratio of the original photo is different and the size and ratio of the background image after the removal becomes different. So my question is, what can I do ? How do I make sure both the image become of the same ratio so that perfectly overlap on each other ? I hope you guys understood the question clearly ?
  3. I am happy that so much progress has been made. However, WARP is so awkward it's infuriating. I was really hoping for warping images in Designer, i.e. perspective. I can warp images nondestructively only in photo but only one way is allowed. I can import it back into Designer and the images behaves as it should - it warps, it moves etc - but it is not the perspective I was hoping for. For the time being my workflow remains the same, which is a bummer. I would like to see image warping coming to Designer as well.
  4. Hi, Warp layers in Designer is great, but why didn't you add it to Photo ? Same thing for measure tool... These two features are the ones I miss most since I left Photoshop. I hope you will add them Thanks
  5. I know this was missing in V.1, but was hoping that page rulers would be added to V.2 apps. The desktop version has page rulers (View > Show rulers), but not sure why the iOS version does not. If I am missing something, please let me know. If not, please add page rulers like the desktop version has.. Thanks!
  6. Hey, I'm in some serious need of help. I was working on a project earlier when suddenly I got an error message that it could not be saved because "because primary storage is out of space." which isn't true. I have all of my Affinity files stored on iCloud which has lots of space. I've also tried saving older projects even in Photo and I've gotten similar errors such as "File was lost" or "Access to the document file was lost while performing initial loading". Some files can be opened but upon editing them and saving them, I am met with another error message and forced to quit my document. I have rebooted my iCloud drive on my Mac which fixed my issues for about a day and I'm met with the issue again. Any help would be greatly appreciated
  7. Hi, I'm trying to modify the attached photo to "alter" the text. I can use text and distort it OK to appear to be the same perspective. What I'm unsure of it how to pick up the colours of the rusty steel in the original letters and paste them on to a standard text character. I understand how to use the colour picker, but that only samples a single colour of one pixel, not the whole area. Image attached. If I've not made myself clear, please ask.
  8. I am facing a weird problem in my Older version of Affinity Photo APP for the iPad the moment I click on the + button to import a new photo from my iPad Gallery. I no longer see my Library of Photos instead I only see 4 options Recent, Favorite, Recently Added and Screenshot to import photos from only from them. How can I see and import photos from Affinity Photo for the rest of the Photos in my iPad Photos Library ?
  9. I had a photoshop file that I edited in Photopea since I don't use photoshop anymore. But the smart objects in the psd file are converted into pixel layers when opened in Affinity Photo. Any idea why this happens and how to solve it?
  10. Hi, in this Affinity Photo Tutorial I will introduce you to the RAW engine, the so-called Develop Persona. I would like to encourage you to shoot in RAW format, which is even possible with the iPhone. With overlays you can then create layers and masks and thus limit the processing to certain areas. Have fun Ciao Jack
  11. This photo manipulation artwork is "Mystical Portal". I thought about how nice it would be if I could create a portal like Dr. Strange. Of course we cannot do that, so I just made it with affinity photo https://youtu.be/OuvvePz0rrg
  12. This artwork is "Wings of Salvation". One day, I was comforted just by looking at the sky so I hope that comfort can be conveyed to people who are enduring difficult times. https://youtu.be/xNDL1x988HM
  13. apologies if this has been posted elsewhere! i haven't been able to find anything in the v2 forums via searching. i'm having issues getting an exact selection refinement output to a mask. the refinement window shows exactly what i want, with clean edges and no artifacts anywhere. however, when i have it create a mask out of the refinement, i can still see little green artifacts along the edge of the model. am i missing a step here? my thought would be that whatever the refinement window shows me is what i'd get, unless there's some other factors i have to adjust. there's nothing super complex here that i'd need the brush for either, it's just a bunch of polygons. does the method of initial selection matter? i've been selecting the green screen background, then inverting it so i have the model selected, so i can get it isolated on a transparent background. i have no issue adjusting the mask itself to get it perfect, i'm more just wondering if this is user error or an issue with the software.🤔 i'm using photo 2.0.3.
  14. I’m just saying Serif.... I was watching Oculus Quest 2 (revealed today) for Business commercial. I think Gravity Sketch is dope (see video).. but uhh.. would love the next commercial to be Affinity Photo for VR reveal so I can create in my Oculus Quest 2 headset. Serif, Facebook is really committed to get 1 billion people into VR. They are hungry right now and helping established developers with in gettingtheir software on their Oculus Quest 2 platform, to the point where they will be willing to help you develop your software and/or potentially split some of the Development costs. I don’t care about Facebook, but I LOVE VR! Mods my mistake if this the wrong area to post this.
  15. Maybe I'm simply missing this, but is there any way to shift a selection around as I form it? To clarify, for those familiar with Photoshop, when you are dragging out a marquee selection by holding the spacebar down you can shift the position of the selection around. Is there a similar ability in Affinity Photo? On my Mac I've tried the spacebar, ⌘, option, ctrl, and shift all with no success. I'm fully updated to 1.5.1 as well. I appreciate any help. Matt
  16. i'm using the new affinity photo 2 on macos ventura and when i press the option button to do things like select the area i want to replicate with the stamp tool, the cursor never changes and when i click i get an error saying i need to select an area. this happens on all such tools. update: if i turn off my the modifier key config i have that swaps the cmd and option keys in macos settings, it works. so it appears that affinity is ignoring macos modifier key settings.
  17. Affinity Photo V2 - Version 2.0.3.321 iPad 6th generation, iOS 16.2 I can’t sign in to my Affinity account on Affinity Photo V2. In the screen capture below, I put in my account details and repeatedly pressed “sign in” to no avail. Closing out the program and relaunching sends me right back to the sign in/create an account screen. This has been happening since (on all of the software) since I’ve downloaded the software around Christmas time. Thankfully the programs are registered under my account or i’d be out of luck. When I open a document in Publisher, i’m able to use studio link, so I am not sure why I can’t connect my account. I included a screen capture of that as well just in case. IMG_1362.MOV IMG_1363.MOV
  18. As a long time Photoshop user, I've come a long way to understanding how to work in AP over the last few months, but some things remain a bit confusing and unclear to me. I'm sure I'm not alone. The distinction between images, pixels and alpha is one of them. Exactly what are they and what makes them different? For me, it raises questions about masks, adjustment layers, filters, etc. Is a mask made up of pixels, or is it just pure alpha. Same with adjustment layers, live filter layers, etc. Is an "Image layer" pixels? Trying to understand the Channels Panel has brought up a lot of questions. I used channels extensively in Photoshop and was able to easily tweak these channels for blending, masking and other operations. In Affinity, it appears a mask is different from a grayscale pixel layer and needs to be treated differently. How to edit a mask as a pixel layer, so I can apply ANY filter or adjustment, is a bit confusing and seems somewhat complex. I have made progress for sure, but I'd like a more in depth understanding of these differences. I've watched most of the tutorials I can find, and I've done some searching, but haven't found clearly presented information that has examples to clarify these differences. I'm hoping Affinity can create a video tutorial that addresses some of these questions (or point me to something I haven't found in my searches). Some of the issues I'd like to understand include... The distinction between image layers, pixel layers and alpha. What is each made up of and how are they different? Exactly what are masks, adjustment layers, live filter layers, etc...(pixels, alpha, etc) Is there a way to apply ANY adjustment, filter or effect to a mask? If so, how? Why does one sometimes need to 'rasterize' what is already a pixel layer? What happens when one "rasterizes to a mask"? R,G,B channels are pixels (I assume), but what about the alpha channel? These are the sort of questions I'd love to see addressed in an in-depth video with plenty of clear examples. It would make the transition easier and help many people get more out of AP more effectively and quickly. At least, it would for me. If such information is already available, I'd love a link. I think this information would be a valuable addition to standard list of AP tutorials. Thanks.
  19. Hi! Is it possible to automatically adjust the size of the slice to the same size as the document? I have several layers and all of them I need to save as separate files with different file formats (some as PNG, some as JPEG, etc.). I need a little bit of support on this case from Affinity Photo community. ;) Thanks in advance for help! :)
  20. Hi Guys, Ànd @James Ritson when I was just about to pull the trigger on an M1 Mac Mini with 16GB RAM when Apple and thankfully so has dropped another M2 Mac Mini in the Mix now I am planning to order this against the M2 Mac Mini Pro. Do you guys think M2 Mac Mini with 16GB RAM should be good enough choice to make sure that Affinity Photo Version 2 works smoothly on it and at the same time, it is not too heavy on my budget which would be the case if I go with the Pro ? in short will a M2 Mac Mini with 16GB RAM ensure that Affinity Photo Version 2 the newer version work smoothly on it ? Do I need a Pro Mac Mini ?
  21. This artwork, I'm going to fall back into the dark world and show a horror piece. The title is "Ghost Island." "Ghost Island" speed art : https://youtu.be/vqsRXVrvO_4
  22. I imagined that if I had a baby, I would go on a space trip together, so today I made an image of it~ "Walk in a Strange Place" speed art : https://youtu.be/7eYe8s2q5zU
  23. Hello, I bought a few year ago Affinity Photo and Designer. Now I have a new Mac Mini and want to download the programs. The are not available in the App Store . I looked also in the update part of the store as suggested. Also Command R for updating the update page dit not show the Affinity programs. How can I download the programs. I have a lifetime licens. Regards, Chris Gerrist
  24. Is there a way to convert a Pen Tool path you make into a selection. There is a selection from layer I can do, but I would like to just convert the path into a selection, without having to create extra layers.
