  1. Ok sorry for writing here again but I'll just leave this here in the hope someone could find this useful. First, Thanks Guys for taking the time to port Photo to Windows, it's most appreciated, more than you may think. Second, I'll try and list some of the bugs/feedback I think are usefull for a user that's looking at photo as a replacement for Photoshop, not as a cataloguing device. The following points are not about bugs only, but also features desired for a more efficient workflow -As I stated before: no color selection tool with respective range control, I know there is selection for green/blue/ad red but it does not even come close to what a more advance user might want -No detailed luminosity mask/selection tool, Mandatory in my opinion, resterize to mask and selecti midtone/shadow/highlight are not viable alternatives for detailed work, nor are the options in the gear windows in every adjustement layer. -no color picker when opening the HSL A.L. ? really? it really pulls you way from your work. -No quick way to adjust brush flow and opacity. clicking on buttons is not the way to do it, it's a workflow killer, the old Alt+Rightclick Drag method is a Godsend for speed and reliability all in one gesture. -The image displayied seems to refresh and flickers and reconstruct its preview every time some changes are done or you zoom in and out. (I'd assume this is a graphic bug and will be solved in future releases of beta) -I didn't find a way to merge into a panorama the images opened in my editor, itseems you have to open them from the explorer provided, how abut I have all my needed images stack on layers and in the dialogue box I click 'use opened images' -No reliable way to align layers (sorry it's just that), creating a stack doesnt seem to work reliably. -Some plug-in that worked perfectly before nw don't seems to work (the nik collection) -overall the UI seems crowded on a 1080p screen, maybe ui scaling would be a good idea, and I know that windows scaling is os dipendet and OSX is app dependent. More or less these are my main concerns for now, and I repeat FOR NOW. I'd really like to switch to photo for my external editing needs but some of the features are really distracting and annoying, I don't necesserely want this to be photoshop, but undoubtebly there are some things PS does much more fluidly (in a workflow sense) and in a more detailed way. Please don't take this as a review or a negative experience, I do sincerely appreciate the work and effort that's going on for allowing us windows user to have photo at our disposal, but I feel even more involved in giving you guys feedback because you seem to listen much more than any other company. P.S. please please please guys make that luminosity mask panel happen please
  2. Hello, This issue is similar to my earlier post here: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/26841-cant-export-single-artboard-instead-of-whole-document/ So please either delete, mark as duplicate, etc. if it has already been addressed and fixed. Whenever I go into Export Persona mode the right panel just disappears and I can't click on anything. Even if I go back to Draw Persona, I still can't do anything. I essentially have to restart Designer if I want to be able to work. However, while in Export Persona, if I click and drag I can see the right panel highlights changing. You can see this in the screenshots I attached. I'm on Mac 10.8.5. Thanks for any help, -Jeremy
  3. Hello, Hopefully you are all enjoying a well-deserved weekend break, but better keep the reports coming, I suppose... A few bugs I encounter in the 0.28 beta: 1a) History panel: Maybe a confusing choice and not a bug but the history panel says 'Set fill' when changing stroke colour. 1b) History panel says 'Move nodes up/down' when changing the order of objects. AD uses the word node for vector paths (Node tool!). 2) Applying layer fx on symbols causes lag when panning even in simple scenes. (Effects panel not selected/visible.) 3) Grid gutter: horizontal gutter starts after first block, vertical gutter starts at top of document. The latter behaviour would be desired as long as you can't set margins. (I know that's a feature request.) 4) Deleted file is in File > Open Recent list. Clicking it prompts a question to remove it from the list. Filename stays in list anyway. 5) Shortcuts: This might have been local, but for me the I-shortcut for the colour picker tool was only assigned in the pixel persona and not the draw persona. 6a) Swatches panel: icons for 'Add fill to palette' and 'Add current colour to palette as global colour' are the same. 6b) The tooltips for these icons don't seem very consistent. 7) Corrupted symbol: see attachments legotext.afdesign, 'corrupted' legotext-corrupted.afdesign is saved with history (one step): selecting one lego block symbol and moving it to the bottom of the stack, corrupts all of them and can't be fixed by undoing. This bug seems specific to this document.
  4. 1) Enabling layer fx disables layer blend ranges. You can still set the ranges but they won't effect the object. 2) Percentages beneath the graph all over the place. e.g. in-between points never 0% or 100% even when at top or bottom. You can set a point by typing percentages, will move correctly, but display old incorrect percentages. 3) Smooth graph adding extremes between points. The line differs significantly from the input point and causes a banding effect. I have the impression this occurs more often when starting with a linear graph and then smoothing it.
  5. I'm working my way through the Affinity Designer tutorial videos to familiarize myself with the program, and there's some inconsistent behavior between what happens in the app on my machine and in the video. When alt-clicking the add button to create a compound shape, the video tutorial merges the shapes into a non-destructive compound shape. Yet, on my computer, doing so causes the top shape to disappear. The strange part is, the top shape will reappear if the position of the tear drop is moved far away from the top shape: or moved higher up into the top shape: Additionally, even though both shapes have the stroke set to none, there's still a gap between the two shapes, which indicates that it's not possible for Affinity Designer to do a non-destructive compound addition properly: It's very confusing to have the program behave so inconsistently when following an in-house tutorial video — is this (another) bug, or did I miss a step and not set an option/preference properly?
  6. This is my list of feature requests so I can completely ditch illustrator. While I love Affinity Designer and bought it to support development, It doesn't fully replace Illustrator because of a few key features that are missing: Feature Request List: 1) Path offset 2) Shape builder 3) Snap to intersection between 2 paths (This has been fixed in the latest 1.5 beta) 4) Snap to self/copy. (i.e. when I drag and object it should snap to its previous position, or if I Alt drag a copy of an object it should snap to the original object). Existing Features That Are Buggy: 1) Expanding a stroke creates way too many verts Other Low Priority Features: 1) Use saved pressure curves across documents
  7. Hi, this is the issue, i align my stuff, place the objects wherever i want and so far so good, but, sometimes when i select an object it moves slightly to any direction, and i have to undo that transform since i didn't ask for that, it happens randomly and in all the documents i've worked so far.
  8. Hi Serif, The latest update 1.5.0.8 now has the Sliders for changing the UI, as not moveable. Although if you move the mouse back and forth the artboard background does change colour but not the colour of the main background (menus, toolbars etc.) Shows UI - sliders not moving but artboard changing shade of grey.wmv
  9. I've updated the lasted version of Affinity today (ver 1.5.0.7), this version can't export *.afdesign files to *.pdf files. But the older version can be. I don't know why, please check it. Here are my files: http://www.mediafire.com/download/96qzqsb8p22r76s/Logo.rar
  10. Earlier I was using Designer and was working on a 32x32 favicon. This is what I was doing. Started project and added some simple rectangle shapes Drew a design with the pen tool After closing the line I used the shortcut "A" to edit the nodes of my line Upon moving the curve of my node the program shutdown. Important notes. When I was working on this file I had never saved the affinity project file. I did end up opening a new file again and completed all of the same drawing steps EXCEPT this time I saved the file between each step. If you need more information on my machine just let me know. Thanks
  11. When I used the original beta: 1. Calculating the export size took a very long time with a large image. 2. I was typing text into a text frame and it just stopped letting me do it. I couldn't type a question mark on the end of a sentence. I tried saving the document because it had taken me several minutes to type -- the file menu opened and I clicked 'Save' but nothing happened except the file menu closed again. I tried 'Save As' and the same thing happened. Then it just froze and beeped at me if I clicked anywhere. I had to kill it with Task Manager. 3. Working on an image I got the dialog: 'An Unhandled Exception has occured. Code: 0x80004003.' Clicking on it killed the program. I downloaded the new version this morning: 1. Both versions are very slow to start. In fact, the lag when doing several things is annoying. Okay, I don't have the newest, fastest machine in the world, but it has 8GB RAM and runs things like Android Studio, Netbeans and Eclipse fine. 2. It doesn't notice that I have a Trust graphics tablet connected (okay, again it isn't new, but it works fine with PagePlus, DrawPlus, etc.). 3. When you check an option in 'Layer Effects' the sliders, etc. for that option should show without aving to click on the right hand side of the option. 4. Paragraph leading doesn't seem to work correctly. I adjusted it in the Paragraph popup and sometimes something seemingly random happened, but mostly nothing did. I don't know why it is listed there if you have to use the override in the Character popup. 5. I completed a document with three text boxes and printed it. Extra characters appeared obscuring one line. These characters did not appear in the exported pdf or when I printed the pdf. 6. When typing text into a text box, the box keeps appearing and disappearing. This is quite irritating.
  12. Affinity installed Windows, but the menu does not appear all that I see in the version for Mac. For example, do not have the option Document, Arrange and Filters. Enabling these options? I have also seen all the tools in the left panel. How to do this? Also could not move to the Portuguese language Brazil. Only a few items are converted (translated). Thank you very much!
  13. Hi, I downloaded the Beta, and began testing it. Here are the issues that pop out to me: Will not retain preferences such as colour profiles and languages dictionaries do not appear to have been installed Crashes when opening some files
  14. Hello! I test Affinity for Windows recently, and I think that this is a truly awesome program, but I want to share some major bugs / imperfections that I noticed (in beta phase, they are of course normal.) First, the program has big problems with stability, often hangswitch no logical reason and the computer crashes. Secondly, I noticed a big difference in performance compared to the competition (which, as I said, at this stage it is obvious). For example on the same hardware photoshop draws a stroke size 1000px without losing liquidity, while affinity "stops working." Perhaps I just dont know where it is this option, but I did not see the option to create own workspace (like in photoshop). Another problem occurs when importing .abr brushes . Affinity imports them, but brushes lose their texture, pressure, flow,scatter settings, and so on. They have retained only its shape, spacing, and hardness, for example, light blurred brush in the shape of a square. And finally, I think important disadvantage for digital painters ... poor control and quality of the brush tool (pixel persona). I mean mainly flow jitter and pressure control, which often likes to rebel. I also have a problem with remaking of my brushes from Photoshop.I set options in both programs almost identical (custom brush with 100% hardness, and only flow jitter enabled ,) and when I draw a single line in the Designer, there are such "intersections" (see attached picture). In photoshop something like this happens only when there are two intersecting, separately drawn lines (picture), or when I draw a singular stroke of opacity less than 100%. Here, however, the opacity was set to 100%. Why they come to me those pesky intersections, and how to make it look like in Photoshop? Image is here : https://mega.nz/#!cQInXCDb!7dQYP5LsOfL3pu0gmRahS0zgzPJmiiaJl5K5Iz5YQBA Everything good and successful work! :)
  15. How do I post a bug report? I can't install Affinity, which doesn't even start giving a message of 'Exception: ImageLoad fails', on W10 64 bit Dell Z14, but there doesn't seem to be an entirely relevant posting so far on the forum and I can't find a 'new bug post' button.
  16. I am having trouble removing and adding crop presets. I know that you go to custom ratio type in the desired ratio and then save it as a preset. After doing this the preset doesn't work and reverts to an unconstrained ratio. At first I couldn't select the faulty presets but after restarting the program I can put a checkmark next to the names. Even though I can select the presets and click "delete preset" the preset doesn't disappear. Help is appreciated.
  17. I've saved files in .afdesign yet when I try to open it it says "the file type is not supported" how to open it?
  18. My first project learning to use AD and it won't export correctly. See Image #1. (What it's supposed to look like.) Image #2 (export settings) and Image #3 (what it actually looks like). I tried exporting in jpg, png, and psd, but the dice and coins don't show up in the final exports. I used export persona to export slices and got the same result. The dice and coins are not visible in the slices. Well, image #1 exported correctly when I broke apart the coin and dice groups, but that did not work on the other pages. If anyone knows how to fix this problem please let me know. This is a personal project, but I still have a deadline. Looks like I'll have to use some screen shots to produce the final cards since I'm planning to laminate them tomorrow. By the way this is a remake of a game by Calliope Games called 'Roll For It'. Follow me on Art Station and check out more of my work. https://b_sean.artstation.com Peaceout! B.
  19. I am wondering if there is a bug in the RGB selection of sliders. I cannot view G and B only R because the color selector is the size of the box selection. Is this a bug that is being fixed.
  20. I’m using the Apple Color Picker a lot, especially as I have created a lot of Color Palettes. I encountered three issues with this on Affinity Photo: 1. The shortcut for the Apple Color Picker is universally Shift-Command-C in any well behaved Cocoa app on OS X. It’s not in Affinity Photo, which is confusing. 2. Open an image in sRGB in Affinity Photo. Choose the Colour pane in the upper right of Affinity Photo. Choose the Color Sliders pane in the Apple Color Picker. Choose RGB Sliders from the Color Model pop-up. By clicking on the tiny Color Space pull-down menu left of the Color Model pop-up, make sure Generic RGB is the color space selected. With the sliders in the Apple Color Picker, select some arbitrary RGB values. Note that the RGB values in the Colour pane in the upper right of Affinity Photo are identical. However, the Apple Color Picker values are in Generic RGB, those in Affinity Photo are (should be) in sRGB (since that’s the image’s color space), so identical values are wrong. 3. I see that you try to integrate the user-wide OS X color palettes of the Apple Color Picker into your own GUI (which I applaud). However, the point about the color palettes in the Apple Color Picker is that these are *named* colors (the names indicating their usage), whereas you only display the color swatches, which is kind of useless for a palette of colors. This is especially an issue because points 1 and 2 prevent easy usage of the Apple Color Picker instead.
  21. I appreciate the profile settings in the preferences for the different color modes (RGB, CMYK, Greyscale, Lab), but i'm at odds with how color magement is implemented. When choosing sRGB, images with ProPhoto profile are rendered with wrong, oversaturated colors whereas sRGB profile images are displayed correctly and vice versa ( undersaturated colors for sRGB images) when choosing ProPhoto as default profile. So color management doesn't seems to work as it should !
  22. So I create a layered design in AD then I export it as an EPS. All is good until I reopen it in AD and I get the botched flattened image, the second attachment. BackgroundAD_sample.afdesign
  23. Hey guys. I thing I found a couple of bugs in Customer Beta 1.0.21458. Sometimes, it's not possible to rename a group. No rename string in the layers panel. I opened a .psd file, moved and grouped some raster layers, used a couple effects too and could not export the project to a new .psd file. I only get an empty 2-3 kbs .psd file. Strange thing is, not even the main Affinity application, will export it to a new .psd file. That's all for now.
  24. Hi all, I just been looking in the Adobe forum and this is what I found: https://forums.adobe.com/message/6813810#6813810 and the other posts... I snapped up Affinity Designer the other day after watching their promotional video. So far, it well lives up to its promises and is as well-behaved as any software out there, legacy or not. Serif is a company to watch. I'm sure their photo editing and page layout software will be equally good as Affinity Designer. A new paradigm is upon us all... I was also a big fan of FreeHand but I always hated Illustrator. Recently I have spent a lot of time on iDraw and really enjoy it. One advantage it has over Illustrator is that you can exchange files between iPad and Mac. Affinity Designer also looks interesting and I hope to give that a try as well. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Affinity Designer is very interesting and is an easy replacement for Illustrator to me. I am so glad someone suggested that. #1 paid app in the Mac App Store! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you are using a Mac, you could always download the currently free beta of Serif's Affinity Designer and see if it will meet your needs in the future. https://forum.affinity.serif.com/ I think they intend on selling it for something around $30 or so once the beta is over. It is still beta, there is still work to be done. The ripples are growing and the next wave of customers will come over like a tsunami ...Roll on Publisher and Photo in 2015. Well done everyone. We can do it. We are doing it.
  25. Hey guys, loving the new program or app as it's clued nowadays, but while testing it out the brush tool is very slow and laggy, with the mouse and even more with my intros 4. Anybody else experiencing this? My mac is a macbook retina 13 with 8 gigs of ram and a 256 ssd, this years model. PEace
