Where's Affinity 1.4 Release Candidate?


Recommended Posts

I just got an email saying 1.4 RC was available, but I can't find it.... am I  missing something?  (wouldn't be the first time).

 

Here's the email's text: 

================================================================

We just wanted to take the opportunity to thank you for being part of the Affinity forums and to make you aware that we are finalizing our new update to Affinity Designer and Affinity Photo, version 1.4. We intend to release version 1.4 in December and could do with some help finding any critical issues before we submit to the App Store.

 
What's New in Affinity 1.4
 
Photo focused

 

- Panorama photo stitching

- El Capitan support including Affinity extensions for Apple Photos

- Live Stacks - Auto-aligned layers for creating composites

Choice of Raw processing engines in the Develop persona

Haze Removal filter

New alpha selection features (select Opaque/Transparent/Partially Transparent)

- Clipping preview added in Levels adjustment

- Perspective (single plane) added as a live Filter Layer

- User-adjustable controller ramps for brush variances

 

Designer focused

 

Artboards – it took us a year but well worth the wait!

Snapshots – named states of your design you can return to later

Adjustable centre of rotation

- Ability to hide the selection while dragging

Move tool option allows parent objects to move without their child layers

Numerous other fixes and improvements

 

The current beta versions of Designer and Photo are available from the Affinity Beta forum. The downloads are pinned at the top of either the Affinity Designer Beta or Affinity Photo Beta sub-forums.
 
The beta versions install along side your App Store version so please give them a try and post feedback on the beta forums. Don’t worry if your favorite feature hasn’t made it into Affinity yet as we will be adding many more features and improvements next year.
 
Thanks again,
 
The Affinity Team
