[Andy Somerfield]

Requirements: Purchased Affinity Photo

Mac App Store: Not submitted

Download ZIP: Download

Auto-update: Available

 

Hello,

We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of the second build of Affinity Photo 1.9.1 for macOS.

If this is your first time using a customer beta of an Affinity app, it’s worth noting that the beta will install as a separate app - alongside your store version. They will not interfere with each other at all and you can continue to use the store version for critical work without worry.

This beta is an incremental update to the 1.9.0 version recently released to all customers (although it still installs parallel to the released version, as described above). We recommend that you use this beta in preference to the store version if you are affected by any of the issues listed below.

Will the improvements to the Assets also be in Designer? I have had some bigger issues with them while creating, renaming and deleting asset categories.

- Fix for dragging assets into the document if they contain large images.

this is the fix in photo, it may not address your problem. They share code so they will both be the same behaviour

Awesome. 

Thanks for fixing the crash upon launch problem from beta 219.

I thought I should report back that I tried out the Affinity Photo Beta today (1.9.1.221 - RC1) to see if it would open the files mentioned in my post.  I'm happy to report back that the files do now open the Beta version. Thanks! - Scott
