  1. Affinity Designer for Windows 1.6.0 is now live (this is an older thread). We are pleased to announce the second update for Affinity Designer for Windows (version 1.5.3). The update can be downloaded from here. Once downloaded, close Affinity Designer and run (double click) the downloaded EXE to install it. A list of the fixes this release contains is being prepared and will be posted shortly. To install this version you will need to have the Affinity Designer for Windows already installed OR you will need to type in your email address and a valid Product key when prompted. When installing on top of an existing version you will not be prompted for the product key. If you need it you can find your product key (and a download button) in your Affinity store account, where you will also find the email address used to generate the key when you ordered the software. If you have installed any previous customer beta version of Affinity Designer 1.5.3, that beta can be safely uninstalled before or after installing this release update, they are independent installs. The beta will stop working soon anyway. Please report any problems you have installing or using this new version in the Windows forum here Patrick Connor The Affinity Team
  2. Hi there, I've just downloaded the free trial for Affinity Designer on my Windows 10 Surface Pro 3. I've got the i7 model (4650U integrated graphics) with 8gb ram and I'm experiencing some fairly substantial lag when playing around with a single art board and a handful of photos. It is frequently generically laggy and the program has frozen as 'not responsive' 9 times in 30 mins. It recovers from the not responsive state relatively quickly (maybe 2-5 seconds). To test the demo, in total, I have: - 7 elipse shapes, each masking a photo from Unsplash (all seven total 57mb in file size) - 1 rectangle shape - 2 text fields I'm doing all this in the 'draw' persona, meaning the photos are at full res if you zoom in enough, despite being scaled down significantly to fit onto the screen. Have I got some random setting accidentally on overdrive, or is the testing build simply buggy and therefore not representative of the final product? Any ideas? The surface typically handles large PS files fine. Cheers, Jordan
  3. Hi I've seen this video about macros https://vimeo.com/202743232 But I can't do the preseted in the video, when I clic in the layer when recording, pops up a message saying that I cannot record "set current selection" what I'm doing bad? I use Ap 1.5.1.54 in windows 10
  4. Apply image and color ranges from ps in ap macros Hi everyone I've been working in a way for making apply image and color ranges from photoshop in affinity photo and finally I've done a macro with a function like that. Affinity photo doesn't have an option for making selections of CMY, but photoshop in color ranges has these options and rgb and highlights, midtones and shadows which ap has. I've done a macro with similar functions for apply image and three macros for making selections of CMY. How to use 1.Import macros 2.Select your current image in which you are working (obviosly) 3.Apply the macro apply image and it'll pop up a sliders for adjusting settings like midtones (gamma) shadows and highlights. These settings are for showing or hidding parts of the mask. 4.Apply and adjustment layer like curves and drag the generated mask into the curves as a child layer. 5.Now you will see the mask in black and white and you can alt + clic to see the mask. 6.adjust the parameters of curves 7. See magic For the CMY macros you can select your image and apply the macro for see the CMY selections for fine tunning and after selection you can add an adjustment layer like curves and i'll mask automatically the CMY selections. I hope this be useful for you. Selections CMY and apply image.zip
  5. Just finished watching a video on the help feature in Affinity Photo. The video showed "pinning" the screen on the side so you could work in Affinity and have the help screen available at the same time. In the video they are using a Mac. Can this be accomplished in Windows. I can not seem to achieve this result. Thank you.
  6. When using the node tool to edit the direction of a single node handle using the alt, only the right alt key works but not the left. Other than that, the left alt key does all other modifier operations (ie. drag a copy) correctly. Is that default in the Windows version, or is that an OS level issue?
  7. I know folks are excited about the new Light theme in the Affinity 1.6 release, but I'm wondering what new features we can expect to see in Affinity Photo 1.6? I've seen the very long road maps lists, but is there a definitive list somewhere of which will be included with 1.6? Thanks in advance!
  8. I've been using my surface device to edit photos and I've come to the conclusion that it is nowhere near enough powerful for photo editing. My workflow is mainly using develop persona - changing exposure, white balance, lens correction, tone curves, detail refinement etc. I have a lot of photos still pending, almost 2000 actually I'm thinking of getting a new laptop. But I don't know which would be good enough for affinity photo I was thinking of a laptop with these minimum specs Screen: 17 inch, 1080p RAM: 12GB Processor: i7, 7th generation Hard drive: 1TB 7200rpm OS: Windows 10 The thing I don't know is what graphics card to include so that it can run smoothly without any issues. Should it be NVIDIA 940 or 965 or higher? And what size? 2GB or 4GB? When I'm editing RAW files on my surface, it takes me at least 6 minutes per photo. If I try editing on my 5 year old laptop, it does it in 2 minutes but after 20-25 photos, affinity slows down and crashes So I need something that is significantly better than what my 2 devices above can do Any suggestions? Specifically from anyone who has a workflow similar to mine Thank you
  9. Hi, no press on you ;) Hope you enjoyed vacation you deserved for the AP Win success B) Great job guys. Just please could you tell us when to expect 1.5.2 AP for Win? Will it also include improved Macro functions? Thanks for information :rolleyes: Jindra
  10. Hi Team, I am having problems using windows affinity designer and windows affinity designer. They don't open when it's used on Windows and then attempted to open on Mac.. Is there a work around for this? I can RDP into my windows machine, but then I get issues with "Windows Aero" - Agh! Headaches!!! HELP!! Thank you. Lee
  11. When exporting from the Export Persona, the Windows Explorer folder chooser does not display its content. Is that a setting?
  12. As a veteran Corel Draw user, after 48 hours i immediately found Affinity Desinger truly fascianating. Its fast, smooth and im glad Affinity adopts solutions from Illustrator and Corel too, and im expremely happy that AFD is available for Windows already. I would be ready to change my workflow to continue daily work with Affinity only but there are few things i really miss. Please consider to implement these things: - Swatches part1: To me its awfully slow to choose the right colour of fill/stroke to an object. This is what i truly hate in Illustrator too. In CorelDraw there is a very simple way to do that: Palettes are always visible on the right side of the screen - RGB, CYMK or any palettes you want. Left click to fill, right click to stroke. It makes the procedure lightning fast. - Swatches part2: There is no way to work comfortably with swatches (saying as a Corel user). I would love to see them all the time on the side, and use the colour wheel only if its neccessary. Also i really wanna know what colour im actually using on an object. CorelDraw is amazing in that case. See the attached picture. Working with text: In Corel there is an option to move each letter independently in the letter boksz with the Shape Tool. As far as i know there is no option for that in AFD yet. These may seem small things, but it truly fastens the process while working on a complex graphic, without clicking a bunch of times across the screen. If u could make these options available somehow im sure more and more users would be ready to change to Affinity. Thanks and respect for your brilliant work, Dear Affinity Team!
  13. Windows version when in Batch Job, does not show the Macro Library or allow macros to be accessed. This is an essential part of image processing for me and, I imagine, many others too. I suspect it is available to Mac users, however.
  14. Hey there, I think it would be useful to have different subforums for bugreporting for each software. At the moment, e.g. bugs for AD and AP are both reported in one subforum although there are even subforums for Bugs on Windows and Bugs on Mac. One level more would give a more clear/tidy overview. Greetings, Johannes.
  15. Hi, i bought the affinity designer a few weeks ago. i want to try the beta version, where can i get it ? thanks !
  16. I have recently installed the trial version for Affinity and was trying to understand the basics of the program. When I launch the program and open any photograph, histogram is not shown on the right side. I am also unable to see the Filters menu on the top. Even simple tools like sharpening are not visible to me. Can anyone guide me in this interface with these three things - How do I see the histogram on the right side? Where is the filters menu? How do I start the sharpening tool? I am also attaching a screenshot of the freshly installed program on Windows 7 professional.
  17. Hi I am very keen on getting started with some graphic design based projects. Currently on a chrome book so that won't work. I am wondering if the affinity programs will work on a standard laptop such as the below : http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/computing/laptops/laptops/dell-inspiron-15-5000-15-6-laptop-white-10157730-pdt.html Thanks
  18. Hi everyone, I wanted to know when version 1.6 comes with the new white interface for windows thanks
  19. 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?
  20. I use a Surface Book with Affinity Designer and frequently I end up drawing little spots around the canvas when I rest my hand on the screen to draw. In MyPaint there was a way around this in Preferences > Devices where you can set what pointers interact with what like so: I was wondering if Affinity Designer could benefit to gain some options like this. The current workaround for this is disabling the touch screen in device manager on my Surface so that only the stylus pen works, and this frequently gets annoying when switching back and forth and not being able to use my fingers to zoom or press buttons in the interface.
  21. When i change the drop down menu in the develop persona to 32 bit hdr and open the 32 bit preview window, the sliders are blanked off. Also, when in 32 bit mode in the develop persona, just bumping the black level up a few percent results in crushed blacks. Is this normal? Cheers for any input
  22. Raw photos are coming through as purple when i attempt to edit them using the latest version of affinity on windows 10, I originally had hoped it would be fixed with this update but it has unfortunately not. I am at a bit of a loss as to how to approach this particular issue. I've attached a screenshot and the jpg the camera saved with the file. I can't upload the DNG as they're 23.8mb which is too large to upload to the forum directly.
  23. Hi all community !! I'm french, sorry if my question isn't good translated in english ^^' but, well, I would like to know if Affinity Designer can export in real vectoriel ??? (this is important for me before buy it). And if yes, how ??? I never found on BETA / TRIAL. T.T And the second question is, if I buy a license for Windows, can I install the application on Mac OS too with the same license ?? I'm working at home on PC - Windows, and when I travel, or go to working place, I used a Macbook Pro ^^' I think to use the same account / adress mail / etc.. So I hope to install on Two device !! :) thank alot for your answers :) PEACE -
  24. Hello everyone, I would love to see a way to organize open windows by name. When you have quite a few open windows, it is difficult ot keep track of which window / tab is where. I think a solution for this could be either a right click menu on the windows / tabs or a sort option in the window main menu. Best regards
  25. Hello all, The question is in the title, a missing feature in Affinity Photo
