We are pleased to announce that the first Affinity Photo 2 Customer Beta 2.0.3 is now available from the link above.

This beta is an update to the 2.0.0 version recently released to all customers and will form the basis of our first patch. We recommend that you use this beta in preference to the release version if you are affected by any of the issues listed below.

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.

Fixed outline later effect

Better sooner than later?  
Should likely spell layer.

Can't get past activation. doesn't take my id/pwd. Only Design2 Beta works, Photo and Publisher fail at authentication.

Just downloaded and installed. Will give it a try this weekend.

Searching in Library (Macros), kills the application. Tried multiple times and sometimes it works but then mostly the second search kills the app.

Please can you report problems using the beta builds in new threads (in this forum if they are newly broken in the beta), or this announcement will quickly get confusing, thank you
