  1. Hi, I'm mostly working with flat single color icons and images. I want to be able to convert these images to curves so I have more ability to manipulate them in Affinity Designer. What I'm doing is opening the the image as a new file in AD. Going to Pixel persona, Select > Select Sampled Color > Invert Pixel Selection. At this point the Icon is completely selected. All of the curves and outlines are selected exactly as I need them to be. How can I convert this from Pixel to Curve form? Atm if I want to be able to change the color I either have to open in another document and do the process over then fill with a color or actually trace it out with the pen tool. Both are incredibly time consuming for such a simple task. Any suggestions?
  2. so how do i make the affinity photo pen pressure to work on yiynova, i am having trouble to get it to work on it. i have a yiynova 22u rh i did what i could on the affinity photo like i did with photoshop on how to make the pen pressure but it all wobbly line.
  3. Hi, When I watched the affinity designer promotional video on their website, I saw that they somehow were doing real-time 3d embedding on a shoebox for a fiction company. I know how to do real-time embedded document editing, but it looked like they were designing it on a flat surface, and then it appeared on a 3d looking shoe box. Thanks for any help you can give me! :) Here is the link to the video https://affinity.serif.com/en-us/designer/ It is around 1:12 into the video.
  4. Alright, as I am browsing through Dribbble whic hI have been for a while, I see these animated UI, and most of them uses mac software or Adobe After Effects. But I do not have the amount credits needed to purchase any kind of Adobe products (Want to avoid using any of that), and is looking for a way to save a video format into a GIF. Like I am using Webflow to make animation, and then record it, but don't have any way to save GIF whatsoever. And of course Affinity currently don't have the feature for creating mini-animated UI. So what can you guys recommend for Windows Users?
  5. Hi, I want to snap individual object inside a group, but when I hovering my cursor to the object I wanted, the whole group was selected, and my candidate list is set to 6, so end up everything in my page were purple color indicated selected since all group selected when I point to more things. why this happen but not before? How do i solve this problem? Previously I can just hovering my cursor to whatever i want then a purple color will flash around the object to indicate you can snap to it no matter it is in a group or not. but now after 1.5 update or any reason, I can't do that anymore. even the whole group been selected, I can't snap to any object inside the group, only the boundary of the group. This is a follow up to my previous unsolved question https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/30909-how-to-snap-object-base-on-bottom-object/?p=152215 This is my snapping setting, if anything wrong please correct me The snapping I wanted is like this Please help! I wanted to continue my project as soon as possible!
  6. Dear Affinity staff, I am an Affinity Photo and Designer user in China. I found most of your tutorials were on the Vimeo and Youtube. However, it is very hard to open the video on Vimeo, because the network speed is very slow. Certainly, everyone knows Youtube is blocked in China. Even I can use VPN to watch the video, but it is still very inconvenient. Could you please create an official account on Youku, or other Chinese video website and upload the tutorials ? I introduced Affinity to a lot of my friends because Affinity is really a fantastic picture editing and design software. I hope we can have resources that we can learn how to use Affinity as much as other countries' people. Thank you for creating Affinity. Sincerely, mrteapot
  7. Hey guys, I was able to drag n hold an vector/image onto another vector/image and an purple color indicator will flash once at the bottom object to indicate you can now snap your current selected image/vector base on the bottom vector/image. But now I can't, in not mastered in AD or any other illustrator app, so I not sure where to chance the setting to able it once again. Please help, it's urgently needed!
  8. Hello, I've just bought the Affinity Photo for Windows after trying the Public Beta and I absolutely love it! I have two small questions. When I import a picture (1280x720) is it possible to have the default image zoom at 100% all the time? (or just on smaller images then it's my monitor resolution) Because when I import 1280x720 picture, it's zoomed in about 10-20% more than it should be (110-120% zoom). And the second question, is it possible to import photo directly by dragging/copying from web browser? I can't do it here in Affinity Photo but in Photoshop it worked.
  9. Hey! I have question can i convert strokes to curves ? :)
  10. Which Affinity do I download? I am a photographer and I assume that I should download photo but being a retired sailor assuming was never my strong suit.
  11. Hey folks! I would like to know if there is a way to draw lines in Affinity Photo. With the Paint Brush Tool, there is a "continue last stroke" feature, but it's not really creating a line, since it paints over the last stroke when using lower opacities: Also, it's impossible to draw horizontal or vertical lines that way... Thanks in advance for your help, best regards, Rorando
  12. Hey folks, I am in a situation where I wanted to correct an image. For this, I needed a tool to just paint one pixel in a certain color. When I selected the paint brush tool, changed width to 1px, opacity and hardness to 100%, Affinity Photo still created a "smooth dot". So my chosen color "black" became gray and had a few gradient pixels around it etc. example: How can I just draw a single pixel in a desired color? Thanks in advance and best regards! Rorando
  13. Hey everyone, first post! I just had a couple of questions for the community before I commit to switching to Designer from Illustrator. I've had my eye on AD for some time, but as a Windows user I never had an opportunity to use it. Now I see the BETA is available, I'm super keen to give it a whirl! I'm currently using illustrator and am not a fan of their pricing system, nor how much of a resource hog CC can be (the amount of background processes is mental). What I'd like to know is how AD performs in comparison? I've got a relatively beefy rig (i5 6600, 16GB DDR3, GTX 970), but I want zero overhead behind the scenes. I'm a little OCD with how everything performs on my main setup, so I want no background processes when the application isn't open (this is what bothers me with AI). Creative Cloud is constantly running for update checks and its toolset - I can't stand that. So how's the general snappiness and performance of the app? And what sorta background processes does this thing run? Sorry for the specific and frankly anal questions, haha. I just felt let down with AI and don't want to go through setting everything up to find the same applies (I'm sure it doesn't but wanted to check!). Cheers everyone!
  14. From time to time I need to resize images to fit them to website and social network page covers. I mostly work with photos with a main subject and patterns or landscape panorama I want to extend to the left or to the right to fill horizontal space. I've seen a Gimp plugin on Ubuntu Linux called "Liquid rescale" that does exactly this: http://liquidrescale.wikidot.com/en:examples (first example in that page fits my needs) Is there a way to do something similar in Affinity Photo also? I know I can install Gimp on my Mac, but for convenience and speed I'd like to keep as much as possible my workflow in Affinity Photo. Thanks in advance, gerlos
  15. Hello everyone! I'm new to Affinity Photo! I'm playing around, experimenting with some shots I taken for a time lapse video, and I was wondering if there's a way to add photos to a stack after I created it (i.e. not in the "New stack" window). I've found I can right click on single photos on a stack to remove them, but couldn't find a way to add new photos to stacks, any tip? thanks in advance, gerlos
  16. Could you tell me why I cannot use the pictures I edited in the Affinity Designer in the iMovie?? When I used the pictures, the software shows me pictures which contain rainbow lines.(the right window)
  17. Well, I've got a question referring to the HSL Shift Adjustment. ​I have combined the HSL Adjustment with the Posterise Adjustment to create a really colorful and nice effect on an image. But when I export the picture or even zoom in the colors shift and a quite boring picture develops. So how is it possible to make these effects static to get my expected picture?
  18. Hello, First of all, thanks for all the great tutorial videos, they are a great help. I have watched and tried to follow the instructions in the Displacement Tutorial. Everything worked as shown until I try to change the blend mode. In the video the blend mode is set from normal to screen and the text changes from black to white. However when I try to do this the text goes from black to clear, in other words, it disappears. I can't see that I missed any settings so whee am I going wrong ? Thanks. Joe
  19. Hi everyone, I have been self publishing my first book, it is an origami tutorial ebook, everything goes well but recently both the Affinity Photo Beta and Affinity Designer Trial I using to process the photo diagram and designing the book have been expired, I want to continue my work with both apps but I can't afford to buy them. I tried to use other free open sources but their difficult interface and poor performance plus I have to relearn everything in this short time really didn't work for me! I have made a fundraiser page to collect donation to buy those apps. total $100 is needed, 5 dollar or 1 dollar per person will helped me a lot to get my goal. I will get my application result to university soon and later will start my university life if the application success. After that, I will have no time to make it. So, I hope I can get helped as soon as possible. Thanks and appreciated! Link: https://life.indiegogo.com/fundraisers/help-chin-to-buy-apps-to-make-his-first-book/x/10397640 Some of the origami models will in the book(total 22 models tutorial, 3 sections, creative monster, movie characters and game characters, all designed by me!)

  20. I need to select the edges of a shape in a photo to create a outline. What kind of approach could be recommended in AP?
  21. There's a new Minute Physics video about computer color that raises interesting questions in my head. The basic premise is that colors blend in strange ways on a computer because engineers are lazy and they do the math wrong. Take the attached screen shot as an example. Why don't the colors in my image match the palate? Can someone someone point in me the right direction to learn about why this happens, and why software wound up working this way? Is it actually doing the right thing, is it wrong but grandfathered in, or is there a good reason to leave it as it is? Thanks!
  22. It be useful if I could click and drag across several layer check marks at once to turn multiple layers visibility off with a simple drag. Also it would be nice to be able to select several layers with a simple command click and then by unchecking one of them would turn off the visibility for all the the layers checked. Does that make sense?
  23. When I have more than one adjustment applied to an image layer that is collapsed is their anyway to tell which adjustment is what without clicking on each adjustment icon? I know you can see the adjustments when you twirl down the the layer but when its collapsed how do you know which one is what? My natural instinct was to see a tool tip popup when i roll over each one but this was not the case. Is that just how it works right now? thoughts?
  24. I see you have symbols on the roadmap. will user be able to export a symbols pack to be shared exported/imported and shared like brushes? It could be useful for creating and sharing with other interface developers or graphic designers. I thought it might be better than creating a file full of vector symbols and having to copy and paste them between files. just import and share them. I was thinking also if I applied a bunch of native affinity effects to a symbol they show up in designer retaining those effects as well.
  25. Hey, I recently (yesterday) bought Affinity Designer and today I was checking out various features, but I ran into a problem. The document size is 512x512, but it shows up like 1024x1024px. (It shows up document size like it would show up on non-retina displays) Here are pictures for better understanding: Affinity Designer document at 100% Photoshop document with same sizes at 100% (You can notice, that in PS it shows document 2x smaller than in Affinity Designer) Is there an option to get document size shown correctly on Retina displays or I should move this topic to bugs? Thanks! :)
