  1. I'm loving using Affinity Photo on my iPad, it seems to be a great replacement for Photoshop, and I'm using beta versions with TestFlight. However, there is one feature that I really miss and forces me back to Ps eventually: Smart Objects. Every time I import a PSD file into the iPad Affinity Photo that has Smart Objects, the app recognizes it as a simple layer of pixels. I work daily with mockups, and it would be very useful to be able to replace the layers easily. I hope that comes to the app soon, thank you, keep up with the good job!
  2. Hey everyone, just updated to beta 3, having Mac osx high Sierra beta. The issue appear when creating few layers, objects, changing the colours from swatches of the objects, after that can't drag or move anything under layers tab. If close and reopen, it works again but not for long. P.S so the issue arise only when there is a custom created palette, if I import this palette as document palette, and create shapes -> colour from this palette, then everything under layers tab is freeze. PS2. so I imported the palette as document palette to AD 1.5 and encountered the same behaviour, so I think it has something to do with palette itself which I created in AF 1.6 beta 2.
  3. Hello everyone! In Affinity Designer, there is an option to create a shortcut for jumping up and down a layer. In Photo, this option is not available. Could you include it in a future release? Best wishes, Shu EDIT: This topic seems to be located in "Questions & Feedback". Can somebody move it to "Feature Requests"?
  4. Hi. I tried AD when it was in beta, nice software but I didn't like that I couldn't change the size of the fonts/icons (bad eyes) and that the fonts in the interface look like micro mice have been chewing on them. Also, I hated that every shape you draw the program adds another layer. So, today I saw that Affinity has a sale and got a trial and guess what? Still the ugly fonts and the multitude of layers! :( :( :( :angry: My question is, is there a way to fix this, am I missing a second settings menu? I searched the forum and Google but nobody seem to have these issues. Could any pro designer here explain the advantages of having 100 layers open? Take a half hour and organize and rename all of them? Thanks for any help.
  5. Hello, I am wondering how to reorder layers in the iPad version of Affinity photo. I have tried dragging, holding and dragging and just about everything I can think of to change the order of the layers. This is functionality that I use everyday in photoshop. I am using an iPad Pro 10.5" Thanks!
  6. Hi guys, At first I would like to excuse for my English. It's not good enough to write too much. ;) But I have an idea, and I would love if You'll think about it. Lately I designed something like that: periodic_table.zip (Iif you like it, you can take it and use it. It's public domain. But it didn't have lately discovered elements 113, 115, 117, 118. I'll update it soon. ;)) As the name says it's a periodic table. It consist of 118 elements, and each element consist of 5 layers. For one language. Without the legend. I have 3 languages. English, Polish and Latin. So I have almost 1800 layers. Working with such amount of layers is a pain in the ass. You have to scroll a lot, select hundreds of layers and change their properties. So, I have an idea. What if you could assign a tag to the layer? And then search the layers by this tags? And then select all searched layers and change the thickness of a border. Or size of a font. Or whatever you need. I think it'll be a great improvement in working with multi layered documents. There's no other graphic software on the market that allows this level of layer management. If you implement it, don't forget to patent it and charge Adobe for using this idea. And send me some money for the invention. ;) I hope You like this idea, and You'll think about it. :) Cheers! EDi
  7. Hi, Did a search here but couldn't find anything, though sure I'm not the first. On the Mac a fairly standard behaviour is to option-click a folder [triangle] to open all enclose folders and see the contents inside them. Did I overlook something or is that behaviour not in AD/AP? Comes in handy when you're working with lots of layers. Regards, Bert
  8. I bought Affinity photo to use on my (MAC) laptop to adjust series' of product type photos. I need to copy the adjustment layers into many images to keep the white point etc consistent. In Pshop you can just group and drag them into the next window. Affinity seems to have no way of even letting you see other windows in the background of the one you are working on, let alone being able to drag the group or individual layers across. This is a real game changer for me!! Why is there no option to change the layout from tabs to separate windows for a start? This is basic mac stuff, drag and drop. . . I'm gutted. If I have to manually redo each of up to five adjustment layers in each image, to match I might as well not bother and go back to the ancient CS4 on my desktop machine. Otherwise Affinity is great for adjusting single images.
  9. Hello guys, I am new to AF Designer - just imported my ai file and it seems the layers of my ai file are not imported. What can I do to see all layers in AF Designer, as well, and be able to work on them? hanky for your help
  10. I bought the new Affinity Photo for my iPad and I'm beginning to understand how to do things. One thing I can't figure out is how you rename the layers from the default "Unnamed". For example I made a curves adjustment layer and I want to call it Dodge Layer for easier reference but can't change it. Any help?
  11. Im searching to add more png layers but i can't find out how.. In the layers i can add more new pixel or fill layers but when i tap on the folder ikon nothing happens. On the keynote prezentation there were a fewlayers... But didn't show how it got there.. Anyone can help?
  12. For example, if I take spherical photos, I would wanna add my name to the photo somewhere. Most of the cases it is the origin point on the ground, or up in the sky. Now if go to live projection and design my stamp there, how do I merge it to the background projection?
  13. Sup people! I've been checking out this application and I'm really impressed with what it can do. I've been porting over my Photoshop work flows, and it has handled every task I've thrown at it. And like everyone else, I'm just looking for a little help. I've been trying to figure out the layers/channels tools in Affinity, and how to use them. I'm an environment artist and this is specific to my terrain workflow. During the production process, I've always taken my textures for a few passes through Photoshop. As part of my editing, I would use masks that I've created to edit specific areas of my diffuse texture. Example: Copy my masks into the alpha channel and start working with "Adjustments", "Layer Effects", etc. Thing is, I can't seem to get Affinity to perform the same tasks. I've checked a few of the Channels/Masks tutorials, but I just can't seem to find what I'm looking for. Either that, or I'm missing something. I have provided a screenshot of the WIP terrain, as well as the diffuse texture and masks. Any help would be appreciated.
  14. Hi, When AD imports SVG files, it seems to transform any SVG groups into layers. I made several tests and searched the forums, but I found no conclusive responses to this: is there any way that AD would import SVG groups as AD groups instead of AD layers? Thanks in advance for any help.
  15. Hi all, For my artwork I have two pixel-layers, both containing the colours of my drawing. I would like to apply shading on both layers simultaneously using the approach described on Vimeo (*). Basically: adding a sublayer, set to 'multiply' and doing the shading there with the brush tool. I've tried: - adding a nested layer to one of the color layers and add the shading there, this works great (but only for one layer) - adding a shading-layer on top of the two layers, works on both layers but also every layer underneath How to solve? I've attached an image of my setup. Thanks!! *: vimeo.com/107563044
  16. I must be missing something. 1. Open existing file. 2. File=>New then specify size. You will see a blank document. 3. Switch tab to opened existing document. 4. Select eyedropper tool. 5. Select color. 6. Return to new file. 7. Fill (Shift+F5) is greyed out?? 8. Select Flood Fill Tool. 9. Click on new document. 10. Right click on document. Nothing happens. Try a new intermediate step. 7A. Select rectangular marquee tool. 7B. Draw a rectangle around the entire document. Proceed with 8-10. Nothing happens. So, what is the secret to flood filling a document? This is pretty basic, but I must be missing something in Affinity Photo's workflow.
  17. Hi all, you've done a great job with the option to export to PSD format from Affinity Photo. Great for After effects animators!!! Will this similar feature (export to .AI) be possible in the following versions of Affinity Designer? Because After effects only see layers from .ai format. Or maybe make a script/plugin for after effects, so that he can import native .afdesign file with layers. Cheers!
  18. I am a beginner and starting self-tuition via tutorials. But I have lost the display that shows the Histogram, etc, and the layers of the image. Could you advise how I recover this?
  19. Is it going to support import Fireworks PNG and retain Fireworks layers, effects, vectors etc ??
  20. I'm doing some logo work and have multiple layers on top of each other. I want to burn the top layer of text through all the layers and make that area transparent through the whole image, not just transparent for the top layer, but for all layers. See attached image: I want to remove the white and make it transparent where the white is and then also through the area where the white covers the red. Thanks in advance.
  21. Hi, I am new to affinity photo and just switched over from photoshop. I open an image in affinity photo, then I create new document of size I want to work with like I used to do in photoshop. I want to move the image into the new document and be able to move the image around without moving the canvas. the image is bigger than the canvas and I want to transform image to make it smaller but not exact size of canvas because I was to crop some of it off but be able to move image around to get it in right spot. It's hard to explain, but I want to move the image layer separate from actual canvas/document size like I do in photoshop, but it won't let me. does anyone know what I mean? Thank you
  22. Hi all, my name is Eike, I live in Germany. I am an architect and usually use photoshop to colorize floor plans an elevations of facades. I think about switching to Affinity photo. In photoshop you can use all layers to identify the boundary of areas wich might be filled with colors. So I have one layer with lines (imported EPS or PDF) an on others I do the filling simply by spilling color into an area defended by lines - and you can choose if lines on other layers shall be used to identify or not. Is that possible in Affinity photo? I use the trial version and could not find this option. Also google searching didn´t help me. Thanks and best regards, Eike
  23. Just started using Affinity Designer. One thing that I have an issue with, at least for my workflow, is when I have many many layers in an artboard / group, the only way to collapse it all is to scroll to the top where the parent layer is and right click and select "collapse layers". In Sketch, I was able to set up a key command to quickly collapse all layers. Is there a way to do this in Affinity Designer? I tried looking in the key command section of preferences and was unable to find a place to add one. Thanks!
  24. Thanks in advance friends... ...when flattening into a single pixel layer, do I first need to rasterize the grouped layers? Not sure how to do this, i.e, I'm unclear on the steps involved, and the proper order in which to perform them. A brief walk-thru would be greatly appreciated. FYI - I am wanting to manipulate the Flat image (bend, curve around a cylindrical surface such as a large barrel or a utility pole, alter perspective and/or viewing angle, stretch by pulling/moving nodes independently of each other, etc). greateful for your help, -Christo
  25. Is there any shortcut for locking layers in AD? In AI there is a handy ctrl-2 to lock layers. Is there an option?
