写给Affinity Photo的建议信

你好，我是来自中国大陆地区的Affinity Photo的用户，

我使用Affinity Photo已经有两年了，

主要用于对绘画进行图像处理，

很高兴能看到的Affinity Photo 2.0的出现，

我第一时间进行了下载试用。

 

我有以下的一些建议，用在我的流程上，方便使用：

01.增加图层的显示/隐藏的切换，只绑定一个按键，

    而不是两个不同的键。

    我经常使用shift+d来检查一个图层的开启效果与否。

02.能给宏设置快捷键，

    我自己制作了些对于我的工作流程很高效的宏，

    希望能更加高效地使用键盘快捷键调用。

03.能给滤镜插件也设置快捷键，

    我经常会使用到nik collecion的插件。

 

还有我还发现一些bug：

01.在使用BorisFX Sapphire 2023的.8BF插件的时候，

    Affinity Photo 2.0会直接崩溃。（在PhotoShop2023中正常使用）

    BorisFX Sapphire是个很强大的后期滤镜，

    我希望Affinity Photo 2.0能支持它。

02.在保存了afphoto的时候，只有等到关闭文件的时候才会写入略缩图。

    1.0的版本的时候是立刻写入的样子。

 

我的操作系统环境是 win10 21H2。

Advice For Affinity Photo 2.0

Hello guys，I am user of Affinity Photo from China.

I have used Affinity Photo for 2 years.

I always use Affinity Photo for adjust my Illustrations by filters.

I am glad that Affinity Photo 2.0 is comming.I try it at a first time.

 

I have advice for Affinity Photo in order to use it for more efficient.

01.add a switch function to hide/show a layer using 1 shortcut,not 2 buttons.

    I frequently use shift+d to hide or show a layer to check effect.

02.add shortcuts for calling macros.

    I make some powerfull macros for my workflow,

    I want to call them using keyboard.

    There is no way to use them by shortcut,

    it is uncomfortable for me.

03.add shortcuts for calling filter plug-ins.

    I offten use "Nik Collection Analog Efex Pro 2"

    There is no way to use it by shortcut,

    that also makes me uncomfortable.

 

I have also find some bugs in Affinity Photo 2.0

01.When I using "BorisFX Sapphire 2023"(.8BF plug-in),

    Affinity Photo will crash immediately.(It works fine in PhotoShop2023)

    "BorisFX Sapphire" is a great amd powerfull filter plug-in.

    I hope Affinity Photo 2.0 support it.

02.When Affinity Photo 2.0 saving .afphoto file,

    Thumbnail will not be saved and refreshed immediately until Affinity Photo 2.0 close the file.

    Affinity Photo 1.10 will save and refresh.afphoto Thumbnail immediately

 

My OS is Windows 10 21H2.

and have a nice day.

you can customize/make your own shortcut for hide/show layer, can you not?

And yes, shortcuts for macros! Weird if they have not added that in Photo 2. (I just have Photo 1. Not quite convinced to buy it yet. )

我想要的是只用一个按键，而不是两个去切换图层的隐藏或显示。（就像PS）

I want using only one button  to switch layer hide or display, not Two. (like PS）

That would be reasonable as a Feature Request in the Feedback forum. It's not a bug, though. Neither are your next two, about adding shortcuts for macros and filters. All would be more appropriate in the Feedback forum, as that's where Serif looks for enhancement suggestions.

For BorisFX Saphire 2023: Does it work for you in Photo V1? If it doesn't work there, either, it may simply be a plugin that is not supported.

I'm not sure what's going on with the thumbnails. I have not noticed that behavior.

Windows explorer doesn't show a thumbnail preview of your document when it is currently open in Designer/Photo/Publisher, this is currently a logged issue with the developers, I've added this threads report. 🙂

I do not. You're justification for this one button to switch layer is nothing more than to make AP PS. My opinion if you like what PS does, then by all means use it. I think it is rude and improper to request another developer to make their programs/apps mirror another. What would the world be if all houses were identical, all cars identical? It would suck in my opinion.

Why do you want AP to be almost identical to PS?  ( That's basically a rhetorical question, I know why, Yen, dollar, rubles ect....)

Will you still purchase AP, AD, APUB, if / or when Serif changes to Adobe's pricing plans? Subscription, $150 per month?  If you're honest answer is yes, then again why not use PS since it seems to be so superior?
