I can't claim to be an expert Photoshop user but one of the most important operations in PS for me, is the ability to open a number of images as layers and then using masks combine various parts of the images to create a final composite image particularly for product and food photography. Now I've not been able to find a work flow in your program that enables to perform this operation. If it does exist it is well hidden, if it doesn't exist will you be adding such a feature and when? As I say I have no desire to go to Abode, however, if you don't have any plans for I shall have to bite the bullet. Are you using Lightroom? Are you referring to "Open as Layers in Photoshop"? If so, it's unlikely that Affinity will be able to implement that functionality, which is why I'm (regrettably) subscribing to Adobe CC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omar Upegui R. Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 I have several issues with Affinity Photo. These are: 1. How do I exit from Affinity Photo after saving my edited photos? I get confusing messages from the software that I do not understand. 2. When using Viveza 2 I can see weak or washed up colors on my screen. In order to enjoy the true colors of the photograph to be edited, I have to magnify it to 33%. Anything below that won't work. The same is true with the small Loupe screen on the bottom right. 3. Randomly the software won't run. In order to have it working, I have to restore my computer. This is very annoying. Can you please help me? I want to use the software but these pesky bugs are getting on my nerves. If problems persist I will be forced to subscribe to Adobe Lightroom or Photoshop. Thanks in advance, Omar Upegui R.

LightChaser Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Has anyone had a problem emulating the steps in your "Sky Replacement" tutorial using the latest version of desktop PC Affinity Photo? Having tried unsuccessfully using my pair of images one of which is a sky replacement jpg, I'm wondering a bit if i might get the same two photos used by tutorial to try?

Was as regular ps user for one year. Moved to affinity few days back, due to the greed based monopoly subscription model of ps. It is just bad for the art to let just one tool a strong dependency. Had been searching for alternatives. Bought 1.6 version of Affinity photo. Initially slightly disappointed that it could not replace ps for what I was doing for last one year. Just after that day of purchase I came to know beta 1.7 is out. When I use 1.7, it could do everything for my work. It gives same feeling as I was using ps. I am confident that there won’t be such bad dependency in the art of photography anymore. Cheers Affinity! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Patrick Connor Posted December 4, 2018 Staff Share Posted December 4, 2018 Clearly you can only make official videos of the software that you can buy from us. The beta is not recommended for production use, so we would not promote it with "official" videos yet.

rudyp16 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 On 7/12/2015 at 12:06 AM, jmac said: First I will say that I am very happy to see this software and impressed with what I have seen so far...with one exception. The lack of a complete user manual. I don't understand the idea among developers that their job begins and ends with the software and users will fumble and stumble and guess their way to a working knowledge of the program. Video tutorials are great and helpful. So is knowing I have a reference, provided by the developer, that explains what every tool, panel, and menu option is and what it does, as though the person reading it has never worked with this software before. This is especially true for a new software that hasn't been around long enough for authors to fill the void with How To books. From what I can see the information available under Affinity Photo Help is bare bones at best and some of the bones are missing. I spent a lot of time learning Illustrator and enough of Photoshop to do what I need and I am disgusted with Adobe's switch to subscription based software availability. So the discovery of Affinity Design and Photo is very exciting to me. Stumbling through video's and searching YouTube and Google for additional information to understand how to use your products...that is not so exciting. I have an Affinity Photo User manual created from their help file if you want it. I have a Word or a PDF version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
