Wow! Surface Studio seems to be giving its competition, Wacom and Apple, a run for their money. There's a lot of arguments out there, but i wish Apple could design an iMac and macOS to accept touchscreen input in the manner Studio does. I remember Craig demonstrating drawing on an iPad Pro and then copying the drawn map to a Mac at WWDC2016. This was supposed to showcase the brilliance of the new Universal Clipboard feature that binds iOS and macOS devices closer together. Comparing to Studio now, that copy-paste feature really looks like a desperate workaround more than anything else. When it comes to productivity, Microsoft certainly has trumped Apple, at least for now. This makes me consider switching allegiances. Apple needs to address this quickly! Right now, I strongly feel that their adamant decision to not sort of merge iOS and macOS, is more of an egotistical stance and a cruel business strategy to generate more profits. I'll reserve more comments for now, until at least after 27th October when Apple will be announcing new Mac hardware. http://www.pcworld.com/article/3135370/computers/hands-on-microsofts-surface-studio-is-a-windows-pc-for-the-mac-crowd.html Will Affinity on Windows be "tweaked" to take advantage of the Surface Dial? -
When purchasing Adobe CC, you get a lot of fonts for free. Same thing if you buy Corel Draw. Is it the case with Affinity Designer too? If so, what are the fonts? I'm on Windows 10. Olivier -
Hello I just bought Affinity Designer a month ago for Mac but accidentally my Mac is broken and forced me to get me a new laptop. So I have to buy a new one, which isn't Mac but Windows OS platform instead. So my question is that is there any chance to change Affinity Designer from Mac to Windows? I just saw Affinity has released for Windows version. Best Regards, Buck -
Hello, I just downloaded the free trial version. I noticed they never asked me if I wanted Windows or Mac. I am running WIndows 7, 64 bit. The file they sentme for download was a DMG extension, which apparently is a Mac file. I can't install this, I get an error "Windows can't open this file." Is there a different file for Windows? Or what do I need to do to be able to install this? -

Hey all, The Windows beta of Photo is now available to try for free! Grab it here: https://affinity.serif.com/blog/affinity-photo-for-windows-is-available-now/ Here's a short (8 minute) video that just runs through a few of the basics for the Photo Windows beta and will hopefully answer some questions you may have: Direct link if you can't fullscreen the video: https://vimeo.com/190854361 It covers the concept of personas, opening images, panels, raw file development and exporting. I'd also just like to point out that we have over 120 video tutorials for Photo available in the In-house Affinity Photo Video Tutorials thread (currently at 130 and counting ;)). They are all macOS-based, but you will find that both the interface and functionality translate to the Windows version, and so I hope you'll find them useful. If you have any questions please ask. All the best, James -
Please forgive a newbie question. I have little experience with graphics programs such as this. I want to crop a photo. I load a JPG. When I click on the crop tool and try to move the 'grab handles' all that happens is that I move the photo in the window. The cursor remains looking like the crop tool during this, it does not change when I hover over the grab handles. After some experimentation I find that if I 'rasterize" my photo the grab handles work as expected, and I move the edges of the photo in to only show the section. But, I don't seem to be able to finalize my crop. I press enter expecting the part of the image that is showing to be come the entire image. But nothing seems to work. While I am no photo manipulating expert, I have cropped photos in the past with other programs and it is all very straightforward. What am I missing ? What does 'rasterize" mean ? -
I can't find a way to hide the pink paths that define my vector objects so I can preview what my drawing looks like. I'd say I was missing a setting, but it doesn't outline every shape on the screen, just some, and it seems to pick those randomly (see screenshot)

Hello, I have an idea regarding users who have purchased an Affinity license for one platform and want to use it on an additional operating system. For example, I have both a macbook and a windows PC. I purchased Affinity Photo and Designer for my macbook, but now I'd also like to use them on my PC. I can't afford to pay another $100 for apps that I've already purchased. Plus, once Publisher comes out as well as the ipad apps, I'll be investing even more money into Affinity. Now, had I just purchased an imac instead of a PC I could have gotten these second copies of Affinity for free because with an itunes account any app you purchase can be downloaded to any device associated with that apple ID. So why should it be different cross platform? Now, I fully understand that there is a lot of software out there that isn't transferable from windows to mac, but it isn't an obsolete idea either. The entire basis of Steam (the game management service) is purchasing one license that can be downloaded to whatever OS it is available for. Plus, wouldn't offering this service add to the innovative system that Affinity is trying to create? My point is, a lot of people, myself included, won't purchase a second copy for a second operating system when I could just walk to that device and use it instead, or get a free screen-mirroring service. So for the sake of the consumers convenience, I think that you should consider making this a possibility. But what about people giving away their "free" copy of affinity for the operating system they don't have? Well to work around that Affinity could offer their purchases/licenses right through their website (rather than using the app store) and you could log into the app with your affinity account to use them. It could be limited to one log in per account at a time. Or possibly a verification of your apple ID, and the email associated with your Microsoft account. Or purchasing a license could simply come with two copies similar to Microsoft Office. There are a multitude of ways to work around the issue. An alternate option would be to offer a discount to those that have already purchased one license. I would be more willing to buy a second copy if it were only say $20 than to pay the full price again. I hope that your team takes this idea into serious consideration! -Kalahgen

Hello folks, I am new to both Affinity Photo as well as photo editing in general. So in case of this is intended behavior, please forgive me :) Every time I want to use a selection tool (it really doesn't matter which one) I see the selection region on the photo for a brief moment and then the entire document area turns into a moving black-and-white striped diagonal lines pattern. Here's a short screencast: http://screencast.com/t/80pZwGhhK I'm using Affinity Photo Windows Beta 1.5.0.37 on Windows 10, 64-Bit. Just for completeness I'm going to mention that this is a Virtual machine. I am using VMware Workstation 12 Pro but I am pretty sure that this has no influences as every other software I am using for years now is working fine. Also, all other features in Affinity Photo I tried so far are working well. I also reinstalled Affinity Photo once to ensure that it's not some strange setting I once activated accidentally (I manually deleted the appdata folder and registry entries to ensure that no settings are left behind). Can somebody tell me whether this is a bug or whether I'm just doing something horribly wrong? -
Hello everyone! I have a question about Affinity Designer: if i'm using Affinity Designer on windows since beta, i still need to buy it after beta expires? Thanks, Best regards! -
Absolutely gutted that Affinity doesn't support Windows 32 bit. There a many photo enthusiasts (as opposed to professionals) who can't easily justify (to their partners!) endless expense on gear and it is often forgotten that the computer is just another item in a fairly long list that must be funded. I run a quad Xeon that is plenty fast enough for my needs, but manufacturers keep forcing me upgrade (which I can't afford) or I must forget about the most recent software, which seems to be all 64 bit. My question: Can Affinity be compiled for 32 bit or does it use hardware/OS features that 32 bit machines/OS don't have? If the former, then please do it! If the latter, can you consider a 32 bit version? Here's hoping, because I used Serif years ago and quite like the company ethos. I ran with Photoshop for several years then swapped to Corel but to be honest I dislike them both and have been looking for a viable alternative for a long time.

Hi, Affinity designer as the ability to preview it's file in windows explorer. Is it possible to add image preview to supported RAW files? Or is there any other way to show a grid of pictures? I made a lot of RAW images. How can I view them easily? Kind regards, Andreas -
If I buy Affinity Designer for windows will I then be able to use that licence later on with a different PC, for example on a future upgrade. Obviously I'm not looking to having more than 1 PC registered at the same time, just one after another. -
I'm new to Affinity and just started with the Beta Testing on Windows. Between work and personal use though, I have Mac and Windows computers and would like to know if there would be a way to just make the one purchase. I know that's done with other software because it just keeps the keys or matches to which computer it's on, but don't know if that is offered with you guys. If you have to buy software for windows and mac separately, is there at least a bundle? -
When I try to install Affinity for Windows I get a message telling me that it can't find "Platform Update". I have been onto the Microsoft site and downloaded what is supposed to be this update. when I run this update I am told that it is a standalone installer and is looking for updates on my computer. It then appears to go round and round in ever diminishing circles until I get fed up with waiting. The cancel button doesn't work so I have to use Task Manager to stop this nonsense. I have never had this problem with any other programme - why is Affinity such a pain on my computer? I am running Win7 with SP1 and all the latest updates. -
I downloaded the beta from the email, but when I go to launch it, I get this window that pops up. I am running Windows 10 64-bit.

Why isn't there a download-thread with the latest release of Windows Affinity Photo Beta like for Windows Affinity Designer Beta?

Hi, I note that Affinity Mac has Location Panel with map function. I cannot see this in the Windows beta? I have over 100,000 images with GPS Lon/Lat/Alt in the exif. Will the Map/Location function be included soon? cheers, Paul

Hi, On PS I have the Tools toolbar moved to the right of the UI near to layers and other panels for ease of use. Will the function to move the toolbar be included in Windows version? cheers, Paul -
Existence of Windows version of Affinity programs makes running them on Linux theoretically possible. While installers refuse to work under both Wine and Mono, it's no big deal as it's possible to just copy the installation from another PC or virtual machine with Windows. However, after copying files the problem is usage of .NET and WPF while being 64 bit applications. Both Wine and Mono behave as if .NET is not installed. Support for 64-bit .NET on Wine and Mono is almost non-existent, however 32bit apps usually work. Therefore, 32bit build would be super useful, as it may mean finally getting professional graphic editor on Linux (of course there will be a lot of "fun" getting DX10 to work so nothing is warranted). By the way, the only thing that made Designer go over 2GB of RAM usage was .psd exporting. -
I downloaded the Windows Affinity Designer beta trial -- I think within the last 2 weeks. (?) I tried it out a couple days ago, then got an email that there was an update, tried to load the update - but the link from the email to the update led to a page that offered it for $49.99. Seems that must have been the Mac version; since the Windows version is in beta. I have been unable to run the beta at all. A message comes up that says the program has expired. Nor can I buy it, since it's in beta. This seems strange. Does the Windows Beta version have a fairly short use period? Or did I somehow trip a wire and get linked in as a Mac user, ... ?? -
Click here to download the latest beta Status: Release Candidate 3 Purpose: Stability Requirements: None As this is a beta release, it is considered to be not suitable for production use. This means that you should not attempt to use it for commercial purposes or for any other activity that you may be adversely affected by the application failing. In addition it is worth noting that files created in Affinity Designer 1.5 cannot be opened in Affinity Photo 1.4, which means that although files created with the Windows beta can be opened in the Mac AppStore version of Designer (currently on 1.5.1) they cannot be opened in the latest Mac App Store versions Affinity Photo, instead you will need the latest macOS 1.5 beta. We hope you enjoy the latest build, and as always, if you've got any problems, please don't hesitate to post here and we'll get back to you as soon as we can.

Hi. I've been experimenting with the latest (.26) Affinity Designer RC the past few days and have a recurring issue where AD crashes while I am drawing complex curves with the pen. It seems to usually happen after I've drawn and copied a curve several times, and then try to draw another one connected to those. Situations like in the image below. I didn't notice this happening on the previous RC but I also didn't use it nearly as much as this one. I'm using: Win 10 64 bit core i5-4690S with integrated intel GPU 16 gb ram ssd Love the program, can't wait for the final release! -
