erikinternet Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I can't seem to find a bitmap image mode setting anywhere? This is a key feature for anyone working with print and for placing images into Publisher where you would be able change the colors. Would love to see this basic feature implemented!

lilokai Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 I agree that a Bitmap option is needed. Everyone that laser engraves photographs needs to bitmap the image before being able to laser it successfully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilokai Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 That is not what I wanted to hear. I was hoping to consolidate programs and Affinity would eventually include this function for a better workflow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PepGold Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 I don't understand why. It is super useful and Photo doesn't offer any way to achieve this using a filter etc. I generally agree with the direction but this makes no sense to me.

Medical Officer Bones Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Yep, still very disappointed. I have an inkling their decision has something to do with the underlying draw engine/render/layer code, and it would mean a complete/separate rewrite, which they cannot / will not undertake. Might be wrong, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medical Officer Bones Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Please take my thoughts regarding the underlying reasons for their decision with a grain of salt. I have no insight in their development or code at all, and it is merely a hunch. Their reasons for not wanting to implement a 1bit mode in Photo are their own, of course.
