  1. It would be nice if Affinity would symlink or just install the ICC Profiles that Affinity ships with into /Library/ColorSync/Profiles So they should up in the Color Sync Utility.app making it possible to view profile and compare them.
  2. Application: Affinity Designer Version: 2.1.1 OS: MacOS Ventura 13.3.1 How to reproduce: select a type layer, hold shift then click an empty spot, the selection tool will change to the type tool. The issue: when selecting multiple elements using shift, if you have a type layer in the selection – even if other elements are present as well – every time you accidentally click on an empty spot (eg. when you miss the element you are trying to select) Designer changes to the type tool and the next time you click you will create a new type layer. How I would expect this to work: The selection tool should not change while you are adding elements to the selection with shift. As far as I can tell, this issue appeared with v2 and wasn't present in v1
  3. Hello, Which is the easier way to do this path and how can I create the effect of changing colors if is a degraded? Thanks Camelia
  4. Hey there, my new MacBook arrived a few days ago and I noticed that, unlike on Windows, the colour picker doesn't seem to pick colours outside of the canvas. Although it has Screen Recording permissions set, it simply picks white. The "preview" is fine, but it doesn't actually choose the colour. I've attached a screen recording where I try to pick a colour outside of the canvas and inside of the canvas. Inside the canvas it works fine, outside the canvas it **always** returns white. Is there anything I'm doing wrong? My friend, a longer-time macOS user, is not experiencing this.

  5. I'd like to move the first steps in the digital arts world as a hobby. I tried with my current macBook Pro and a Wacom tablet and found the lag too bad to enjoy drawing (it's a mid-2015 4-core i7 with 16GB RAM and only the integrated Intel Iris Pro GPU) As I'm looking for an upgrade I'm wondering what's the minimum that could give me a low-latency drawing experience. I know that brushes can be very computationally expensive if one wants to simulate liquid colours dripping and blending with other layers and whatnot. So let's say I'm going to stick to pencil-like or fairly simple brushes. Would a macBook Pro 2018 i7-6core, 16GB RAM, and a Radeon Pro 555X 4GB be enough? I'm using Affinity Designer V2.
  6. This effects all three programs: Photos, Designer, and Publisher. When i minimize the program to the dock, clicking on the docked icon does not expand the program to the desktop again. it does however make it the active window. to expand the program i must right click on the docked icon and and select the currently opened file in the program.

  10. Hi, I'm using affinity photo v1. When I use large scale brush (>1600px) for masking with Huion h420 drawing tablet, the brush gets struck and unable to visualize the area where masking impacted.

  14. If you have macOS Monterey, Big Sur or macOS Catalina you may notice that our apps are taking 20+ secs to launch after starting your Mac from cold or after rebooting your Mac. However, subsequent launches should be fine. This issue has been logged with our developers but a workaround can be found here.
  15. Hello, I have a graphic I'm working on in Affinity Designer 2 on macOS. In short, it's a lineup of the Laptop models my team supports. I need to rotate the "wallpaper" depicted on each laptop periodically. Today, I have a copy of the wallpaper masked in each laptop layer. In stead, I want to reference a single image as each laptops "wallpaper" that I can more easily replace. My thought is when I need to update the "wallpaper", I can just replace the 1 reference image in stead of each duplicate in the layers. Is this possible? Thank you!
  16. Just now updated from 2.0 to 2.0.4 this evening. Was really hoping they'd fixed that brush menu double-click lock-up bug. It's really quite nasty, and makes the software basically unusable. It's like walking into a booby trap. I'm able to deal with basically being forced to work in tabs, but this brush menu bug is a show-stopper. When double-clicking a brush in the scrolling menu to bring up the width/etc adjustment panel, Photo throws up the spinning rainbow beach ball and goes for a lie-down, requiring me to force-quit. The clumsy UI design decision re: the Big Frame That Won't Go Away And The Non-Detachable Toolbar is something I can work with, but this bug makes V2 pretty much unusable. Will this ever be fixed? Here's part of the bug report transmitted to Apple, if it means anything: Date/Time: 2023-05-04 21:39:57.623 -0400 End time: 2023-05-04 21:41:48.369 -0400 OS Version: macOS 12.6.2 (Build 21G320) Architecture: arm64e Report Version: 35.1 Incident Identifier: 025B1725-F537-4813-AA9B-58C905D248BD Data Source: Stackshots Shared Cache: BE7FE6AD-4560-3AE2-883E-432F78B45062 slid base address 0x1b07cc000, slide 0x307cc000 Shared Cache: 075C518A-CD16-346D-A539-3A4D45B847A6 slid base address 0x19932c000, slide 0x1932c000 Shared Cache: DF545CF0-AB3D-34B5-900B-63364D9C86AB slid base address 0x7ff80fce8000, slide 0xfce8000 Command: Affinity Photo 2 Path: /Applications/Affinity Photo 2.app/Contents/MacOS/Affinity Photo 2 Identifier: com.seriflabs.affinityphoto2 Version: 2.0.4 (2.0.4.326) Team ID: 6LVTQB9699 Architecture: arm64 Parent: launchd [1] PID: 2744 Time Since Fork: 224s Event: hang Duration: 110.75s Duration Sampled: 1.90s (process was unresponsive for 109 seconds before sampling) Steps: 19 (100ms sampling interval) Hardware model: Macmini9,1 Active cpus: 8 HW page size: 16384 VM page size: 16384 Time Awake Since Boot: 45707s Time Since Wake: n/a (machine hasn't slept)

  19. I have bought "Publisher 1" (and "Designer 1") from the appstore. I highly regret that decision now that I found out that APPLE claims for itself the right to cut off the customer's download access to their purchases at any time they please. Therefore, I am searching for a standalone installer that comes directly from SerifLabs. I would be willing to pay for another licence. But it must be "Publisher 1" (and "Designer 1") because Version 2 is not supported by my operating system. For half a decade, MacOS has been getting worse and worse with every update. So my question is this: Where can I buy a product key to use the installers that you have listed under the link above?
  20. This bug has been around for a very long time. If you export an artboard as a PNG or other bitmap and have "show bleed" checked, the bleed isn't exported. It's just blank. This only seems to work as expected with PDFs. There's a video on YouTube where another user explains this in detail:
  21. Looks like this is totally broken now for me on Catalina with the latest betas😧 In current retail v2 apps and previous betas with pixel brushes; Control+Option+Click&Drag Left/Right = Brush Size. Control+Option+Click&Drag Up/Down = Hardness. And with Vector brushes: Control+Option+Click&Drag Left/Right = Brush Size. Now in all beta 1736; Shift+Control+Option+Click&Drag Left/Right = Brush Size. (the Shift key is now need too??) Control+Option+Click&Drag Up/Down = Hardness. (unchanged and same as before) And with Vector brushes: Control+Option+Click&Drag Left/Right = Brush Size. This still works, however immediately afterwards the brush outline and crosshairs disappear 90%+ of the time and you have to click the canvas again to get them back.
  22. I've tried changing the units in Publisher to mm, but the ruler is subdividing in units of 4. So the larger markings are not for every 5 mm, but for every 4. So between a 20 mm gap there are 5 sections of markings, rather than 4, which is confusing. See images if this is as unclear as it sounds. Is there a way to fix this?
  23. It seems like enabling Drop Caps breaks down ligatures, regardless of whether I set the drop caps to affect only the first character, the whole three involved in the ligature, or even in auto mode. Is this a bug or must I enable some option somewhere for them to work together? I'm using Affinity Publisher v2.0.4 for macOS 12.6.3. Thanks!
  24. If you've previously been working on a document that was stored on a connected Networked Drive or a Network Attached Storage and subsequently disconnect from the network and launch V2, you may receive the below messages: This is a known issue and our developers are currently investigating. Sometimes you can just dismiss this messages but for the majority of users the application will hang. You can workaround this by deleting the MRU.DAT file from the below locations: ~/Library/Application Support/Affinity Designer 2/ ~/Library/Application Support/Affinity Photo 2/ ~/Library/Application Support/Affinity Publisher 2/ Please note: We've also had similar reports from users with Google Drive installed. The workaround listed above will also work for these users.
  25. i'm using the new affinity photo 2 on macos ventura and when i press the option button to do things like select the area i want to replicate with the stamp tool, the cursor never changes and when i click i get an error saying i need to select an area. this happens on all such tools. update: if i turn off my the modifier key config i have that swaps the cmd and option keys in macos settings, it works. so it appears that affinity is ignoring macos modifier key settings.
