  1. Our popular Affinity Designer Neon Brushes just got a whole lot better! What's new about the pack? we've completely reworked the brushes - revisiting the real neon tube source material to create a vastly superior look. A set of time-saving Affinity Glow Styles has been added - use these to add glows to your design instantly! We've also added a set of handy background gradients. >>GET IT HERE<< Or keep scrolling to learn more. Once again, the Artifex Forge has been on an urban adventure - exploring the city's bright lights to bring you better design resources! This time I've been searching for the best neon tubes to bring this super-realistic set of neon brushes and neon glow effects to life. If you find existing neon effects limiting, lifeless and a little unrealistic, this is the perfect set for you. Most are entirely computer-generated and therefore lack the lifelike qualities and quirks of genuine neon tubing. With these brushes, you can really give your design the wow-factor. So, why are they so much better? True-to-life: they are sourced from real neon tubing, so no flat, lifeless vector neon effects. Multiple highlight options: this recognizes that when you have a group of neon tubes together, they illuminate each other, creating more highlights. Flexibility: being brushes, they're malleable giving you more scope to create the images you want. Fun: you're drawing with neon tubing... what more can I say? Get the pack HERE and start creating Affinity Neon signs today! ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Learn how to create the sausage dog illustration in our tutorial HERE! Get the pack and follow along! ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The pack contains all of these fantastic components: The Neon Brushes 19 flexible neon tube vector brushes.

  2. Hello everyone, I hope you're all doing well. I'm seeking some advice and feedback on an idea I've been brewing, and I believe this community is the perfect place to gather insights. I'm considering creating a platform similar to Unsplash or Freepik, but with a focus on files and templates specifically tailored for Affinity software users. My vision is to provide a hub where Affinity enthusiasts can freely share and discover resources to enhance their creative projects. Before diving headfirst into this venture, I wanted to reach out to you all for your thoughts and opinions. Do you believe there's a demand for such a platform within the Affinity community? Would you personally find value in a dedicated space to access and exchange Affinity-compatible files and templates?
  3. Note: there are a bunch of calendar generation tools available, either on the net as online tools, or as specific apps, or as plugins for word processors and other common apps, or as common system CLI tools etc. All of these can be mostly used to generate all sort of calendars for a (re)usage in the Affinity Suite. - Thus I list here just a few of these calendar tools, so mostly some online and CLI tools, which don't need any account requirements, or to be extra bought. Online calendar tools ( should be usable without account requirements ) Advanced calendar creator (can generate various sorts of calendars) Basic calendar creator SVG Calendar Generator (by Mensch Mesch) Create a calendar for any year Calendar Generator Design a custom calendar Make Word calendar online (can generate various sorts of calendars) PDF Calendar Fantasy Calendar Generator Personal life calendar generator ...etc...

Here are some daily calendar vector Affinity template & assets files for (re)use ... ... which are customizable (day/weekday/month & colors), to individual needs. calendar_day_vectors.afdesign (template) calendar_day_vectors.afassets (assets) But the overall fun part here is instead the dynamic day changing SVG file, which when opened via some webbrowser, will always show the today's day data, due to inside in the SVG code embedded and executed JavaScript "init()" day handling function code ...

  6. Here are my two attempts at the "Reflected Skyline" illustration project from the Affinity Designer Workbook. Hope you guys enjoy! Any feedback is much appreciated V1: V2:
  7. Hello, Affinity Photo is awfully lagging and slow on my Macbook Pro. It wasn't awfully lagging and slow before. But now since I have updated to MacOS Sonoma version 14.0, it's lagging and slower than usual. What should I do to make it faster and not lag? Also, I have attached a photo so you can see my performance settings.
  8. The first and second parts of my book are not numbered correctly. Multiple attempts to sync the numbering brought no results. Is this a bug by Publisher or why is it happening? I have created all pages correctly (Cover [ ][x] ... ).
  9. I have bought the Universal license. Individually each program working so well but the connection between other Affinity products confused me comparing to other programs. so my question is if I am making a story book(which requires all 3 products) how to use all of affinity products efficiently? what is the suggested workflow in general? if there are videos for that I really appreciate it. to clarify, here are some questions: when do you jump between affinity designer to photo OR to pixel persona? how should I prepare my files for linked file workflow (instead of embedded) how to do a good project folder for all 3 products. AFP and AFD has pen tools but the usage is slightly different. Does AF products pushes me to use them in order ( do vector first then go to photo and paint for example) and so on... so I am open for any advice. please tell me how do you use AF products and what for? technical? painting? designing? because all of them should have different workflow.
  10. Here are two of my Badge (Label) Assets sets, these assets are plain (silhouettes) + vintage (grouped) vector curve(s) based badges/labels. The two sets do contain various forms of these. NOTE that the assets for the below shown vintage badge set don't include any preapplied text, it's below just shown this with text way in order to give you an idea how they could look with some used/applied text on them! The corresponding assets files: Badge_Assets.afassets - Have fun with these free to reuse badges!

  12. Fans Need To Respect K-Pop Idols Privacy.ytn.afphotoHere is the source file. Hello, I'm Michelle. I'm having issues with Affinity Photo. So I'm having issues with Layer Effects. When I click; on Layer Effects(FX) panel and click on one of the effects, for example, 'Outline' and change the settings like 'Radius.' Blocks would show up around a cutout image of me. The same goes for the other Layer Effects as well. I have attached a screenshot; so you know what I mean.
  13. Here's the afthumbsGUI.py Python3 script which can be used to extract PNG thumbnail images out of Affinity files. This afthumbsGUI.py script is a slightly enhanced GUI version of my CLI based afthumbs.py script. In this GUI version one has to specify (open) a supported Affinity file (see below) and an output directory path, afterwards to press the "EXTRACT THUMB IMAGES!" button in order to extract any possible thumb images (PNGs) from the given Affinity file. When a thumb image is found and written out, it will be then displayed in a popup window, as a sort of visual indication of a written out thumb image. Here's a little screencast of how the GUI of afthumbsGUI.py looks like and how it is intended to be used ... afthumbsgui_video.mp4 In it's actual state afthumbsGUI.py can open and extract PNG thumb images out of Affinity Designer-/Photo-/Publisher- & Affinity Template files. The script is written in an OS crossplatform manner and thus should run under MacOS/Linux/Windows, as far as Python 3 environment is installed and available on the specific platform. This script doesn't use any third party Python modules and uses just what does already come along as default with a common Python 3 installment. afthumbsGUI.py can be started the common via Python way from a cmd shell/terminal ... MacOS/Linux: Windows: Alternatively afthumbsGUI.py can also be renamed and provided with execution rights, so it can be startet like a program/application on a certain OS ... MacOS/Linux: Windows: Here's the afthumbsGUI.py Python3 script for download: afthumbsGUI.py Have fun!
  14. OS : Windows 10 Affinity photo version : 2 Source : Nikon Z9 NEF Raw uncompressed File size : 55 Mbytes Retouches : Filters Masque Flou, Clarté, Passe haut Calques : TSI Size of the Affinity file 500 MegaBytes ! Document applati : 250 Megabytes ! Export JPG : 11 Megabytes. How to obtain a file size acceptable ? Thank you.
  15. Here's a afthumbs.py Python3 script which can be used to extract PNG thumbnail images out of Affinity files. The afthumbs.py script can be called either by passing over a Affinity file as argument directly ... ... or in an interacting mode just like this ... If the script does find a PNG thumb image it will extract it and write it into a pngs/ directory! Here's the afthumbs.py Python3 script for download: afthumbs.py Have fun!
  16. Does v2 support rtl? If not teher is any chance to get it in future updates??
  17. Great software overall. Thank you for the amazing one-shot pricing. That said... Separated mode is a basic, and for a lot of people, essential feature. If I had known this was dropped from V2 it would have made me hesitate a long time before buying as quickly as I did. I'm kind of feeling like there should have been a conspicuous warning somewhere that it was not included in V2, nobody expects features to go backwards in new versions. Way back in the day, the fact that Mac could run Adobe with just floating toolbars, and no awkward "application window" around them, was a godsend for designers. Those of us who used Windows instead/as well had to contend with the primitive OS requirements of Microsoft which signalled clearly that Windows was not an ideal design/graphics environment. Removing the separated mode option is just stunning to me, and signals a return to an awkward, older sort of unpolished era in graphics software. Even tablets are moving towards floating app windows, and ultimately floating file windows. The ability to provide this will affect whether Affinity is seen as a clunky older software, or a forward-looking app that intends to compete in the future. Crossing my fingers in hope this huge shortcoming will be addressed in the next update. Seriously, this app window things is just really awkward and annoying, like something that's just always getting in your way as you try to work.
  18. It would be great if the Affinity Suite had access to a thesaurus and a grammar checker included in all the apps. Just for final checks and proofreading. And maybe access to a story / article editor as well. Thanks for the very good software set at a reasonable price.

  21. This time I share here my Halloween Assets I + II set, these assets are mostly vector based silhouettes with a few exceptions. The two sets do contain various things in order to create some spooky Halloween graphics. The corresponding assets files: halloween1.afassets halloween2.afassets You can for example do things like these with those Halloween assets ... - Have fun at Halloween!
  22. Picking a color for Gradient strokes and fills, only works from the gradient menu. In the gradient menu there is the option for color. However from this color panel I do not have access to my swatches. Further more, if I navigate to my swatches and select a color, that color overrides the gradient on the object as one solid color. Same goes for the color panel. Note -- For fills I can work around this by using the Fill tool to create the adjustable line for gradients, selecting the nodes on the adjustable gradient line and then selecting colors from my swatches or the color panel with out the swatches overriding the gradient to a solid fill. I should be able to select a color for gradients from swatches and the color panel while I have the gradient panel open with nodes selected. I should not be limited to the single "color selector" button that is within the gradient panel. I feel like it could almost be done away with, as I'm sure most people have their color panel or swatch panel located somewhere on their screen. Edit : I have found that within the gradient color selection there is a drop down which allows me to access my swatch colors. This provides me with a useable work around for coloring stroke gradients. However my point still remains that this color selection button could be done away with. I already have my color panel, and swatch panel, open in my work space, I use them very frequently and habitually. It is very frustrating to have these extra steps/clicks to navigate to and color gradients. When the color and swatch panel are used so frequently, it is very anti intuitive that they both do not work for gradients.
  23. Here is a template for an A4 sized prism desk 2023 calendar created in AD. This template can be (re)used in all Affinity apps! This 2023 calendar is localized in german, english and greek (DE/EN/GR) and thus allows to switch the calendar languages and print for either language. The calendar dates used in this template do stem from Mensch Mesch. - The ready glued together calendar looks like the following ... ... the A4 Affinity Designer template looks like this, dependent on the language (DE/EN/GR) switch ...

  24. Hello. I would like to ask why affinity photo's develop persona is still has very limited features? I hope they would at least add color correction features that would allow you to change hue by hue, hue by luminosity, hue by saturation, saturation by hue and etc. A lot of useful color editing tool are only available outside develop persona, making it harder to edit the image without degrading it easily. The masking in develop mode is also still very limited. I hope affinity will soon add it to their updates. Thanks.
