  1. How do I get all these icon shortcuts on the right side I've enclosed???
  2. ​This applies to both Designer & Photo. It would be more efficient when working with fonts if the drop-down display window was longer to display more fonts at any given moment. It might be worth considering the ability for the user to drag & drop extend the lower boundary of the font display panel to suite. Thanks.
  3. A small introduction: Technical Director at a Visual Effects and Photo Retouching house called www.taylorjames.com - I truly believe I work with some of the very best Photoshop artists in the world. I will be aiming to move them over to Affinity Photo once the feature are at parity and we can do things in AP that we can't do in PS. The native support for EXR with data-windows is a big improvement on PS for one! Mixing bit depths is great, masks within masks is amazing! I can see a point in the future when we look back at Photoshop and wonder how on earth we did it! We work on a lot of high end products and a huge amount of automotive work which can be immensely repetitive and benefits massively from tools we've created over the years. Working with CGI generated images we create a huge amount of data, images are often composed of many layers and using scripted tools we can layer up all the images and put them on the appropriate blending modes and into the right folders. I want to be able to design my own tools to make custom contact sheets and reviewing tools and automatically be able to tag layers with custom attributes and notes so we can make automated tools for updating layers and layer comps procedurally! I'd love to see a nice powerful scripting API that allows us to change any property, add layers, adjustments, run tools, open/close files etc... Some of what may seem like the simplest things in Photoshop are amazingly complex! Try to close a layer group in PS using Javascript, it requires creating a new folder which is closed and copying the layers into it and then deleting the old folder as there is no .isOpen folder property! There is an incredible community of script writers out there who will make amazing tools for your software! Check www.scriptspot.com and www.maxplugins.de see what was made for 3dsmax, it's kept an old software running for 25 years! I'm not the biggest Python fan (pretty much because of the indentation rules) but it makes sense to use it and take advantage of the PyQT framework, which I'm hoping you have used to build your application? Congrats on an excellent product, I'm seeing a huge amount of people shout about it loudly which is always a true test and hopefully reduces your marketing budget! I'll be buying my own license to do my own photography work at home too. Regards Dave
  4. Good news for us ! Perhaps I'm not the fist one but I found the way to use all the plugins of the Nik Collection in Affinity Photo. After installing the Nik Collection by following tutorials, we all have the same problems : Viveza 2, Sharpener Pro 3, Dfine 2 et Selective Tool doesn't work. The problem come from the Windows format of the config file of each plugins. In fact, this file is a text file format with the .config extension. Analog Efex Pro 2 - natively works Color Efex Pro 4 - natively works Dfine 2 - you have to replace the Dfine2.config HDR Efex Pro 2 - natively works Sharpener Pro 3 - you have to replace the SHP3.config Silver Efex Pro 2 - natively works Viveza 2 - you have to replace the Viveza2.config (after a quick test, this one doesn't work very well, because of a color problem - I'm not enought competent to solve it) Selective Tool - can't works in AP because it's a sort of scripts panel to call Nik plugins with different ways - We could create similar actions with AP Macros. How and where replacing the .config files ? Go to the folder you create before installing the Nik collection / Google / In Dfine 2 folder > replace Dfine2.config (you have to login) In Sharpener Pro 3 folder > replace SHP3.config (you have to login) In Viveza 2 folder > replace Viveza2.config (you have to login) If you didn't erase the way to access to these plugins in AP's preferences, they works now. Enjoy it ! configs files.zip
  5. Could someone please walk me through the steps required to insert an image I've created and saved as an Asset in AD 1.5, that I know want to insert in a photographic image I have in AP? I'm early in the learning process and still shaky on some of the most basic of operations. For example, I am unsure of the best/proper way to combine two separate documents (in this case, one in AD containing the Asset with the photographic image I referred to in AP) in order to lay the one on top on the other. Would this require me to export the AD Asset as a slice, then import into AP? I really am lacking in knowledge here, apologizing in advance for the elementary nature of the question. I'm working on a new MacBook Pro with AD 1.5 and just-purchased AP software. Thanks all! -Christo
  6. Is it possible to keep the original date on photos when I export my photos from Affinity Photo 1.5? Same thing goes when I develop RAW pictures as well? Thanks!
  7. Hello, I am new to this software. I am checking some tutorials, and I realised that some of the pictures has "pixel" label in the videos (in the layer section). Therefore, the pixel selection tools works on them. However, when I insert a picture it gets "image" label. How can I insert a picture with "pixel" label. I tried to also create a pixel layer then insert a pic but didn't work. Thanks, Mitra
  8. I am experiencing a lot of lag in both Designer and Photo. My main machine is running Windows 10 on an i7 3770K, 16GB of RAM and an AMD 390X OC with 8GB VRAM. When comparing things like rotate, curve adjustment, scaling, perspective filter, etc. with Photoshop or Illustrator, I noticed a huge CPU spike on affinity to 100% together with some lagging fragments (squares in the selection that arent updated yet to the new configuration) while photoshop and illustrator could pull it off with smoother framerates as well as less CPU usage. It's like my 390X isn't used a lot in Affinity. This is really breaks my workflow when I am working with multiple layers or bigger documents and I can't work precise anymore. I wonder if I am the only one that notices this? Is there something wrong with my pc build or software configuration or is this just how Affinity is supposed to be working?
  9. When image is placed into a Photo document (via File/Place...) and edited externally, one in document remains in its original state until replaced manually. Would be useful if there was a way to make images 'Stay up-to-date' via a toggle or similar, so AP would detect changes.
  10. Maybe i'm missing it? I need to make copy some pixels i now have to select, copy and place pixels as new layer, move, then merge. Seems like a standard feature for modifying pixels in any bitmap editor.
  11. Would be nice to click extra channels that were created in channels palette just by clicking on them. They could be grayscale image overlays. Would be even better if you could switch them on/off and adjust their transparency/tint similar how layer masks are displayed in edit mode.
  12. Hello friends, Is there a way to see live the file size of the currently edited document (like Photoshop)? This information is very helpful, especially when working with many Filters and Layers. Perhaps you could somehow integrate the information into the lower right corner of the AP / AD program. It would also be useful to switch between the current document size and the memory usage by clicking on the information field. PS: This Info function I know from different CAD, Compositig and Video Editing programs "of the higher class". Greeting ChristAlix

  14. fx Panel Problem: Opacity Setting no longer seems to work on Outlines. Why: For some product images I like to be able to apply a black inside outline when placing the product image on a dark background. Most of my product images are taken on a white or grey background and the images will sometimes have a slightly shiny edge to them that pops out a little too much on a black or dark background. By adding a black inside outline, and reducing the opacity to about 33-50% the edge blends in nicer with a darker background.
  15. I am compositing multiple layers, using masking to control the visibility of lower layers. I have a really simple example, but I see that there is a transparent or white fringe around the main shapes where the colours of the lower layer do not 'meet' the higher layer. I attach a snapshot of the image issue and also of the layers tab. the main shapes (flowers) have themselves been created by selection or eraser to separate them from a background, and they sit on a transparent background. I figure that I am doing something simple wrong, although I have watched the relevant videos (I think!). So would welcome tips to rectify.
  16. At the moment you can enter in zoom mode only with SPACE+CTRL if you try to do it with CTRL+SPACE it's not possible. When I'm focused in the work process, the last thing I want to keep in mind is in what particular order I start this hotkey combination for zooming. When I'm not careful about the order of pressing the zoom hotkey combo, I make duplicates of my layers by mistake instead of zooming. It's a bit irritating. Is this something that can be resolved in the future update?
  17. Since really exploring Affinity products, I decided it's time I put my MacBook Pro aside and get something that AD and APh can really take advantage of the core features of the latest hardware. What would be your model choice, screen size, most helpful peripherals/accessories? Of course budget has to come into it, but I am more interested in the right equipment to get work out without being extravagant and wasteful. Thanks for your replies. Michael
  18. In many programs, there is a link panel that lets you see what files are linked. Even more, there is a button to let you updated your linked files. I cannot find either of these in Designer. Am I missing them or is this a missing feature?
  19. I can not see the size of a brush in APhoto on my Surface Pro 4 running Windows 10 and cannot find any settings that affect the cursor appearance?
  20. Hi I have used PhotoPlus for many years. Affinity is a great piece of software but in PhotoPlus you had 3 printing modes. Single image Print Layout Contact sheet....They seem to be missing in Affinity it only has single image. The contact sheet is fantastic for placing a number of different sized images on to 1 sheet of A4. Adobe Photoshop does not have this feature which made Serif software so easy to use. Without it it is very tedious to make a contact sheet. Could it be included in Affinity?

  22. I'm using Photo for Windows and having trouble exporting a Photo image to a jpeg file. When in the Photo persona and working on an image, if I select "file", then "export", then choose jpeg format and click on the "export" button the "save as" window pops up and lists "Affinity files" (which is grayed out) as the only available file type and not jpeg as I expected. I've tried other changing some of the settings in the "export settings" dialog box to see if that might allow me to save as a jpeg. No dice. Pretty much the same story using the export persona (not surprisingly). I would have thought that, since I selected the jpeg format, that Affinity Photo would have generated an enlightening error message. I've watched tutorial videos and read some on exporting, but haven't found any mention of this problem or its possible causes. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
  23. Hi! We purchased a copy of Affinity Photo for Windows and I've been using it happily until recently. I received notice that there was a new version available and I went ahead and installed it. It turned out to be the Beta. Now, the Beta has expired and I no longer have access to our purchased copy. Help! Thanks, Dave
  24. Hi, In Affinity Photo, I currently have four pre-installed Libraries (for macros): Default Image Styles Distortions Light Leaks Is it possible to create a new Library category, where I can store my own macros (actions)?
  25. (sorry for the english) Hi, one of the tools I use most on photoshop is the Pattern overlay, to do this kind of work (attached). Would be great to have this on af Photo. I tried to use the one that already have on the software, but I couldn't achieve the same result as the pattern overlay in photoshop
