Joaquim Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 There are two things over the good a new features that I believe that are serious problems to use both programs as a serious tools. Some features can be important for different people, I also miss some, but there are things that can make the full program useless. AffinityPhoto: One very simple thing it's a big issue for me. Sliders should have longer and smother transitions, if you pretend to be a Photoshop alternative the main thing is not in features, it's in quality. AffinityDesigner: I have a personal serious problem as many of my interface work is made in Fireworks and would like to be able to import all in to designer, but does doesn't make your program better or worst, it's my problem solved or not. There are things that can spoil all, not being able to create bleed lines and a proper export tool to PDF is really a serious issue, desktop still a big problem to make the full change from Illustrator, those are the difference, IMO, between good and useful or just a nice app. Looking forward to your improvements of a great work, thank you for what you are doing as we do really need to have alternatives out of Adobe world.

Staff MEB Posted September 23, 2016 Staff Share Posted September 23, 2016 Hi Joaquim, Thanks for your feedback. If there's an input box near the slider you can insert bigger values than the ones pre-defined for the slider. We are aware that depending on the scale of the objects the slider variation may not be enough in some situations and work just fine in others. Please check this post regarding Fireworks PNG's. You can already define the Bleed in the Document Setup dialog but you must enable it on export (pressing the More button on the bottom of the dialog for additional options). Bleed preview on canvas will come in a future version. What issues are you having when exporting to PDF's? Can you be more specific or provide us a file so we can check out what's going wrong please? Thanks. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joaquim Posted September 23, 2016 Author Share Posted September 23, 2016 I was aware about the Fireworks problem, I have lots of interface designs made in many layers and pages. Of course that's not your fault, just a serious problem for me :) Values in the sliders have big sudden changes and impact on the photo, some times very serious, that made me go back to Photoshop while is the only app of Adobe I have with online payment, with the others still using desktop old versions. Updating OS will make working problems soon, now there are all starting to work slower or taking long time to load. Being able to change to yours could be a great thing. Today's cameras gives lots of detail and keeping dynamic range as big as possible can be a very smooth work to make the difference. That still keep me away from AffinityPhoto Ok, great with the bleed option, didn't know that was possible to make the bigger size in document/setup, not being able to see it is not a big problem, it is to loose things in the desktop out canvas side. The other problem is about exporting only one desktop not the full document. I do really like very much what you are doing with designer. Thank you Quote Joaquim Berenguer .................................. www.berenguer.info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted September 23, 2016 Staff Share Posted September 23, 2016 Hi Joaquim, To export just a single artboard go to the Export dialog and in the Area dropdown select the name of the artboard you want to export (make sure all of them have different names).

Alfred Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 To export just a single artboard go to the Export dialog and in the Area dropdown select the name of the artboard you want to export (make sure all of them have different names). Shouldn't the app prevent the user from assigning the same name to multiple artboards? :o Quote Alfred Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for Windows • Windows 10 Home/Pro Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for iPad • iPadOS 17.5.1 (iPad 7th gen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfred Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 I should have guessed it would be!
