  1. We may have discrete Sections available as Fields but running footers/headers making use of specific paragraph types (i.e. Heading 1, which might have Flow break to the top of the next page). Ideally, we could configure which paragraph styles are accessible in View > Studio > Fields. My suggestion would be to have it user-configurable from right-click the "Edit <Paragraph Style>" Paragraph > Field Options Available as Field? First or last available? On Page or Spread? (see relevance of first/last in previous question) This would make for some really robust footer/headers on master pages, esp. in education or technical materials with dense, structure order to their contents, allowing us to guide the read through. The Field referencing the other Paragraph style occurring in the main document could be styled by any existing paragraph style as expected.
  2. Feature request for Affinity Photo: Embed changed linked files until an update by user Situation: If you load a project file, then all missed linked files will be displayed pixelized. This is extremly contra productive. Better: To avoid missed linked files please embed the visible result into the Affinity project file. If there are files missing, you can still inform the user, but please don't destroy the implemented material by pixelizing it. This solution would secure the use of the files by 3rd parties, without having the original assets. You don't need to save the original file or filesize, just the edited result is all an user need. Seeing the result, even if you don't have the linked material is better, than destroying the project by showing pixelized results. This is the way how it works in Adobe Photoshop and a much better solution, than currently in Affinity Photo. Do you know, what I mean?
  3. For those of us who are very productivity-focused, keyboard shortcuts are essential. I'd like to request adding support for assigning any menu command to a keyboard shortcut. I've run into this a few times, but the commands that made me want to put in the feature request this time are the compound boolean commands. I'm aware that you can alt+click the buttons, but to assign them a keyboard shortcut would be even better.
  4. Hi! As a feature request, it would be so helpful to be able to break down colour groupings within a single Application Palette or Document Palette. For example, I'd like to group my primary colours on their own at the top, and then create secondary and tertiary groups/rows for tints and shades of the same colours, or secondary colours, etc. Being able to create an organized hierarchy within a palette rather than having a mass grouping of all saved swatches would be immensely helpful! Thanks.
  5. Working with Masks is greater than in any other application I have worked with so far, the ease of having child layers and being able to stack a mask over the other truly is amazing. However... One thing that I have found disorienting is that when I use the colour picker tool, rather than picking a value of black an white from the mask that I am working on, Afphoto decides to pick a colour from the Parent Layer (Even when the Source is set to "Current Layer" while having the mask selected). Even though working a mask will only paint with the luminosity value of the sample taken, as you may well know, the values on the Parent Layer are part of a whole and having the Colour Picker Tool to take a sample from the Parent Layer and not the Mask you are working on results in picking an unwanted value when I am actually trying to pick a shade of gray that has already been used on said mask In the long run this means that for me to be able to take the desired sample, I must go to the colour wheel / sliders manually and try to guess what that value was or take my attention away from the whole and having to isolate the mask to get the value that I want. If the colour picker could be adjusted in a way that it picks the shades of gray FROM the mask while working INSIDE the mask it could certainly enhance workflow speed and consistency. Thanks for the attention and time to read this request. Cheers!
  6. Select subject is the feature that is really missing from AP.
  7. I know there are lots of topics created by people requesting specific functionality from adobe PS. One thing that I particularly like and I do mis in nearly all other imaging editing software (including Lightroom) I've tried is smart sharpening. The sharpening algorithm leads to better results and you'll get blending options to prevent clipping due to sharpening. Of course you can apply this filter as a smart-filter so you'll keep a nondestructive work-flow. I would really like to see this feature in both the iPad and MacOS versions
  8. It would be nice if Affinity Photo gets a Macro Editor. Up to now ist is very uncomfortable to start a new recording of a macro when you want to change only one command line in an macro: Fowling function would be useful: Delete commands, add commands by start a recording at a marked position, move commands, copy and paste commands from other macros. By the way it would be nice to save the history as macro. Regards Erhard
  9. I like to introduce a improved Frequency Separation: I duplicate the Layer 2 times: The bottom one I blurred with the filter Median Blur for example by 10px. With the Filter Apply Image a make the following. I select the top Copy of the layer and load the blurred layer as source, activate formulars: DR=(DR-SR)/2+0.5; DG=(DG-SG)/2+0.5; DB=(DB-SB)/2+0.5; DA=1 to calculate the High frequency Layer. The set the Blend mode to Linear Light to blend it with the blurred layer. The filter Median Blur in comparison with the filter Gaussian Blur, witch is used in the filter Frequency Separation calculate not such halloos at edges in the picture. The High frequency layer is much better to rework with the stamp tool specially near edges, and the luminance was located more on the blurred layer. I recommend following: 1. Add a checkbox to choose Blur Mode in the Frequency Separation dialog. (Gaussian Blur (Standard) and Median Blur (Option). 2. Add Store custom Presets in the Filter Apply Image dialog to store the formulars. I attached a image file with a comparison of the frequency Separation and a picture with the formulars in the Filter Apply Image I used. IMG_Frequenz_sep_Varaints_Detail_2019_09_27_38058.afphoto
  10. I'd like to see Affinity incorporate draw paths into vector drawings (i.e., the sequence of when each line should be drawn). This will be helpful in coupling the use of Affinity with software that creates explainer videos.
  11. Dear Affinity, Thank you for your recent decision to allow 90-day free trials of your software and 50% discounts. I recently purchased the PC license to Publisher and so far, I'm enjoying the easy to use and intuitive functionality. One thing that is "kind of" annoying at the moment is the inability to customize or change the default "_" in filenames to indicate pages into "-" or however additional filename delimiters the end user desires. If not already, will you kindly include the Publisher export file names to be more customizable? I know Affinity Photo as the option to rename or set desired options in the Export interface. If customizing delimiters are too intensive at the moment, at least please consider the end user (like me) to change the default underscores into dashes to indicate page number, when exporting to PNG, JPG, EPS, etc. Thank you, Ronald
  12. Background: I often will create several designs on a single sheet when they have a common theme so I can keep a consistent theme. Once finished I like to save them individually for import into Publisher or whatever I'm working on. It would be nice to be able to have a "Save Selection As..." option to allow for quick export. Current method: Select the elements desired. Copy (CTRL+C). New From Clipboard (CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+N). Then "Save As..." on the new document (CTRL+SHIFT+S) and close it. This creates a correctly sized document that can be pulled with ease into Publisher. I actually use AutoHotKey to do this all with CTRL+F12 but a built in way would be nice. Proposed method: User highlights what they want. Under "File" two new menu options are present. "Save Selection As..." and "Export Selection As..." in case you want to export a SVG. This could possibly be under the "Selection" menu but saving files seems more logical under "File".
  13. When using the frequency separation dialogue, it would be great to be able to chose the type of blur to apply: Gaussian, Median or Bilateral, since each as a different effect on the edges. Thank you
  14. svg width and height in mm instead of "100%". Affinity SVG export has problem in apps that requires absolute dimensions in mm
  15. Does anyone know if there is a way to record your strokes on Affinity Designer for iPad (like what Procreate does). I desperately need this ability for a project. Screen recording isn't working because it records in real time so there's so much extra time recorded and also unwanted notifications etc. I need just the actions recorded without having to spend hours rewatching & editing the video for unwanted footage & dead time. If anyone can share a way to do this on Affinity designer ipad I would be VERY grateful!
  16. Greetings I had a suggestion, the "space before" style should be able to be a negative value. For example, I want my bullet lists closer to the line above them since that line explains what the list is. The thing is the list is being pushed away from that line because of it's spacing. I don't want to change the top line's spacing because it's great for the rest of the document, just the bullet lists could be closer. Is this a possibility or will it open a can of worms? Thanks.
  17. Adobe Photoshop has an option to convert Paragraph Text to Point Text (Artistic Text) and vice versa. https://textuts.com/type-tool-in-photoshop-cs6-point-text-and-paragraph-text/ It is very useful at times. Hope to see this feature soon on Affinity Photo! 😅
  18. Hello! I would love to use Affinity Designer for in our workplace. However, until certain features are in place, it would be impossible to do so. Will you be adding more "special" features to Designer in the future that compares to Illustrator?
  19. I'd love to see a separate Artboard tab that can control the position/size of Artboards instead of relying on the Transform tab. Coming from Illustrator, I think its a small quality of life update that could benefit many users.
  20. Hello Affinity Team, Thanks for creating a great product! There is a feature I miss. Being able to show more panels at the same time. This would be really, really, really useful, for example when trying to add a symbol to specific layer. If I would be able to see both the symbol panel and the layers panel, I would be able to drag and drop the symbol in the right place. It's a big pain to have to select a layer, or group of layers and then try to add the symbol to the canvas, as the symbol never ends up in the right place. Also, it would be useful to be able to see more panel, when having to switch tools which are located in different panels. Now, as opposed to the desktop version of the app, which has this feature, you need to click and touch a lot! Is there a way to get this feature? Best, Dan
  21. Hi Affinity team - are additional crop overlays (e.g. phi grid, golden triangle, etc.) anywhere on the roadmap for Photos on iPad and desktop? Would be lovely to ditch Adobe tools altogether but this is literally the one thing I still use Photoshop/Lightroom for. Thanks!!
  22. I am slightly reluctant to move entirely to this software due to the inability to refine the area inpainting draws information from. I suggest adding a GUI for selecting where inpaint will fill from, or perhaps allowing us to fill from a specific layer (so we can make a layer with only the info we want to fill with, though this would be very very janky in my opinion.) I don't enjoy being one of those guys complaining that this app isn't a certain other product, but this is honestly the only thing holding me back from making the switch. I love AFP for literally EVERYTHING else it does better for me. Thank you for considering~
  23. Hello! Inkscape has a feature that allows changing the location of the "focus point" of radial and elliptic gradients to make them non-symmetrical which allows for creation of some amusing effects. Here's an example from Inkscape's official tutorial page (link): https://inkscape.org/ru/doc/tutorials/tips/tutorial-tips.html (Excentric radial gradients) It is described in SVG reference docs: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Element/radialGradient The following attributes seem to be responsible for it. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Attribute/fx https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Attribute/fy I'm not sure how hard it is to implement, but to me it's a pretty simple yet interesting feature that I would love to see in Affinity Designer Cheers!
  24. Hi Guys 1.8 finally has smart objects (embedded objects) and it's come a long way. As a next step, can we make this live links please? Meaning if the original file changed outside of Affinity Photo, we will have an option to manually update it in the layers, or just auto update all layers from external sources.
