Wow, great news!  :)

[MikeFromMesa 179]

That is good to know. Only 3 more days. I wonder when the tutorials will be available.

Hi Mike,

The new video tutorials will be available at the same time.

Magnifico!!. Soy usuario de Ligthroom y estoy seguro que Affinity Photo será una gran herramienta para trabajar. Ahora estoy aprendiendo a utilizarlo pero me queda mucho camino por recorrer y por eso me interesan los videotutoriales, donde los busco?

Gracias

Hola VAHER,
Bienvenido a los Foros Affinity.
Puedes encontrar todos los videotutoriales en nuestro canal Vimeo.

I bought Pixelmator yesterday and was reading some articles about it when I suddenly saw a commenter talking about Affinity Photo instead, which was total news to me. Downloaded the beta and was blown away. It's way faster than Photoshop, way lighter on system resources, and beautifully designed, while still having *every* powerful tool I was used to from Photoshop (and even more that PS doesn't do). Pixelmator is a total toy in comparison (lacks non-destructive editing, adjustment layers, editing history, etc). I got a refund on Pixelmator and anxiously kept reading this forum to find the release date. And now, I've set that date in my calendar. I'll be buying it on day 1 of release! Thanks Serif/Affinity for finally liberating me from the shackles of Adobe. I hope it will be available in the Swedish Mac App Store on release day.

Woo Hoo!  I'm impatiently waiting with credit card in hot little hand!

To Affinity & Beyond!

 

Great news that Photo is getting let loose on the world. I'm sure some people are wary of using beta's - there gonna be blown away by version 1.

2/3rds of the way now ;-)

 

All the best for the launch.

Hi Mike,

Mel and Mike

 

I accidentally stumbled on these a week or so ago when looking to review one of the existing videos.  Turns out that they were not supposed to be public at that time  :) (and no longer are).   But they were good and I'll be back ...

[ONSO 72]

Outstanding! Cant wait to purchase.

[Quarian 77]

On it as soon as the US Apple store has it up.

[GRScott 198]

Thanks. Waiting as well.

[Quarian 77]

Incidentally, is there any chance of finding out (a tutorial, maybe?) what software packages you guys used to make the vimeo video announcing the arrival of Photo v1.0? I would be interested in your workflow. Thanks for listening.

[TomM1 36]

Will definitely purchase.!

[catlover 211]

Do we need to delete the existing AFP Beta prior to installing the purchased version ?

 

All the best and make sure you'll get a nice holiday break this summer.

 

You guys earned it !

[velarde 97]

Now that Affinity Photo is ready to launch any ideas or Roadmap for future features implementation...?

Not hard dates but any idea of the order in which you are planning on adding things that were not considered "important" for the launch?

 

thanks,

[Andy Somerfield 2,760]

Quarian - I will get a list of the tools used tomorrow for you - I believe the video guys make use of Camtasia, Motion and FCP - but there may be more..

 

velarde - Yes, a full road map will be published on Thursday to accompany the launch. The issues you raised regarding polygonal selections have not gone unheard, but the team has been pressured recently to meet release - with this pressure gone, we will revisit things which did not make the initial release soon :)

 

Thanks,

 

Andy.

[My Strawberry Monkey 571]

Camtasia, Motion and FCP

 

Yep.... +1 for Motion it rocks...

 

looking forward to this release  :wub:  Love it...

Andy,

 

I asked before but, since I have not seen any responding post, I assume the question went unnoticed and I am asking again.

 

Is there any information about when you folks will be able to get to addressing the plugin issues for the most popular plugins (Topaz and Nik)? I know you will get to it but I don't know if it will be in the near future or further out than that. Is it something we should see shortly after launch? Or later this year? Or next year?

 

Just asking.

[MEB 8,260]

Hi Mike,

On Affinity Photo's release day we will publish a list of the plug-ins supported in version 1.0.

If the plug-ins you're looking for aren't listed there, they might not work with this first release (1.0). We will be adding support for more as we move forward.

I don't know if Topaz and Nik's plug-ins are included in this list at this point, so i can´t give you more details regarding this :(
