Timber Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 We've seen that Contraints & Symbols are coming to AD and there's the HDR posting about AP, but either the video is defective or I cannot figure out what the presenter is doing to get the HDR in this posting. What else... is coming to Affinity Photo in version 1.5? Any tidbits or words to entice the eager and loyal following? Looking forward to some new toys/tools to play/work with!

Timber Posted June 24, 2016 Author Share Posted June 24, 2016 Not a word. Is there even an Affinity Photo 1.5 in the works near term? I thought we might see at the same time as Affinity Designer 1.5 beta - which is today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronnyb Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Amazing Matt! I noticed the app jumped in size by quite a bit... I wonder what else you're hiding under the UI hood... ;) Update: Sorry wrong thread thought I was in the Designer 1.5 thread :/ 2021 16” Macbook Pro w/ M1 Max 10c cpu /24c gpu, 32 GB RAM, 1TB SSD, Ventura 13.6 2018 11" iPad Pro w/ A12X cpu/gpu, 256 GB, iPadOS 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anon1 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Hey Andy, sounds impressive! I would be really interested in two details about the macro persona: Say I`m recording some workflow and select the top layer out of 3 layers in the layers panel, does AP take it as the "third layer counting from the bottom" or "first layer counting from the top" ? Will one be able to manipulate this behavior? Will you be able to create stopping points at which you can tell the macro to wait for a user interaction, e.g. setting of a slider and then proceed?

thisleenoble Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 - Live Projections (edit in perspective projection, equirectangular projection). Is this the ability to transform an object using the perspective or mesh warp took and have it NOT turn into a pixel layer? Because THAT is the one thing I'm waiting for that would enable me to dump both Inkscape and XQuartz entirely. Currently I resort to blowing up objects to gigantic sizes, performing transforms and then opening each layer in Inkscape and tracing back into a path, saving out to SVG and dropping back to AP. This would save so much time (if that's what it is). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted June 27, 2016 Staff Share Posted June 27, 2016 Hi thisleenoble, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) If i understood you correctly no, what you are looking for is a vector based mesh warp / perspective distortion tool(s) which change the object's geometry directly. This should become available in Designer in a future update. In Affinity Photo all filters (Live Perspective in this case) applied to vector objects generate a raster based transform/distortion (and are rasterised on export). Live projections are a different feature. A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

befehr Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Any updates happening related to what Lightroom CC has with the Transform tool, straightening a photo using guidelines?

Reggie1958 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Sounds awesome, oh we'll have soooo many new toys, oh boy :-) Please don't mistake my opinion for expert comment for no way no how am I an expert on anything.

lhodaniel Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Hmm. I see AD Mac 1.5 and AD Win 1.5. Nothing on Affinity Photo. I know you said 2 weeks, but I'm seeing a trend that suggests that AP is of lower priority than all incarnations of AD. Say it ain't so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anon1 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 did you see the AP on iPad video which was shown at WWDC? https://vimeo.com/170451622 guess who programmed that ..wish they´d split the feature a bit more though, the new rendering seen in AD 1.5 is already a big improvement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff MattP Posted July 1, 2016 Staff Share Posted July 1, 2016 What is the problem with the Wacom tablet? Mine works great - I have an Intuos 4, 5 and Cintiq 13 HD. Affinity Photo is definitely not a lower priority at all - the order of release is simply dictated by the order in which features are being finished - if some of the new Photo features are still in development while Designer features are nearer to being ready, then why should we keep holding back Designer from entering beta? Once Designer is in beta it gives us more chance to fix things - and it also means we can bring the Windows beta out (because the Windows version was built from 1.5 code and therefore requires 1.5 Designer to actually exist)...
