js8 Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 This is laughable. Text changing colors, the text boxes filling with a color despite not changing anything, everything impossible to find, and terrible brushes (in Designer). Congratulations, you managed to make something worse than even Adobe! dehskins, Jenna Appleseed and emmrecs01 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick G Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 It would be HELPFUL if you posted an issue and the steps to reproduce it. That way, someone can begin to help you Joachim_L, Dan C, Wosven and 2 others 4 1 Quote Affinity Designer 2.2.2075 & beta 2.3.1.2212 Affinity Photo 2.2.2075 beta 2.3.1.2212Affinity Publisher 2.2.2075 & beta 2.3.1.2212 Windows 11 Pro Version 22H2 OS build 22621.1928 Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10700 CPU @ 2.90GHz 2.90 GHz Installed RAM 16.0 GB (15.7 GB usable) System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garrettm30 Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 As regards the title, there have been many absolutely terrible applications produced over the years (including malware, it should be noted), and the fact that the Affinity suite is very popular testifies that it could not be the truly worst software ever made, whatever rough edges it may still have. I do not understand how titling your thread with such a hyperbole could be helpful. 14 hours ago, js8 said: Text changing colors, the text boxes filling with a color despite not changing anything I do not remember hearing of these particular issues happening before; at the very least, it has not been the general experience of the people posting on the forums. If you could demonstrate any of these things happening so they could be fixed, then this thread could do some good.

It only took a couple of minutes to be kind to him. If he is frustrated with something then he can come back with his issues.

whiplash55 Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 I hate to admit it by I agree with the post. So frustrating to even start editing a photo with this software. Open a photo, give me some options, make it simple to start editing the exposure. The menus are a joke WTF even does the basic exposure edit. I'm sure it's a powerful program, but compared to Lightroom, or even free open source (bad)options like Darktable it's indecipherable.

debraspicher Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 In this case, I think it's safe to blame the user judging by post history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whiplash55 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Thanks, I'll try delving into it again. I was frustrated because I found the program much easier to navigate when I first got it years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
