Rowly Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 What does V2 give me? I only use it to paint car skins in a sim. Paint shop has an enviable Smart objects. Does V2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lphilpot Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Not as far as I know, but I'm no expert. I assume you're referring to Photo, not Designer nor Publisher. Unfortunately, as of now there will be (as per Serif) no further updates / patches to the v1 branch.

Dan C Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Embedded objects give you most of the functionality of smart object, i.e. automatically updating all instances (great for decals etc), non destructive rescaling/rotating/cropping, ability to add FX non destructively, non rasterised vector objects etc. Our software is based on a mostly non destructive workflow and embedded objects follow this same principle. I would advise a trial to see if it works for you. https://affinity.serif.com/en-gb/ Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen some YT vids on embedded layers (although I don’t quite understand the concept). At the moment I paste a logo off the internet (say a jpg) and scale it etc. Gimp used to be terrible, the more you “handled” it the more jagged/distorted it would become. Affinity is much better but I’m currently not doing anything “special”. What’s an embedded object? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
