Affinity Photo Beta (1.5.0 - RC5)

[Frank Jonen]

Exactly. :)  And it prompted me to look around the misc section a bit more which helped getting my font related panels organised (all on the left).

 

 

Now this is embarrassing. I can't remember if this is something I set myself or if it is built in. I though it was built in. :unsure:

 

Anyway the important thing is you have discovered that there is a shortcut that can be set.

Now that I looked into shortcuts more thanks to the comments here I found an interim solution to this. I set option+L, option+R to toggle studio left and studio right (the bigass panels) and put in the tools that I don't constantly need. That helps with painting as I still have my floating stuff and only that. Especially useful in full-screen.

 

It's OK but I still miss being able to collapse stuff.

 

Hi Frank,

 

Since the keyboard shortcut to hide both panels is Shift+Cmd+H, I used Shift+Cmd+Left arrow for the left panel and Shift+Cmd+Right arrow for the right panel.  Thought, would share that.

 

Cheers,

Thanks, that works too. Odd though since the shortcut values were empty. Now I have two options to toggle them.

I put them on the right and left side buttons of my Wacom tablet btw. So depending on how I work I can stay adjustment focused (hands more on keys) or paint focused (tablet mostly).

Just noticed that with RC5 when you zoom with the spacebar, the cursor turns to a Move/Hand and won't return to the pointer tool on its own. Requires that I select a different tool, then go back to the pointer tool.

Nice. It's coming down to it. I recently bought Designer, and I want to buy Photo, but I might as well wait since the newer version is almost out now.

 

(I obviously can't partake in the beta. I'm just checking the status.)

Is 1.5 a new purchase in the app store?

 

Edit: Nevermind, I now see that they promised updates for version 1. Can a developer tell me when 2.0 is going to be released? Is it even on the horizon? Or will you do 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, etc big-ish feature updates? Obviously you don't need to answer, but I'd appreciate it! I plan to buy the app too but wouldn't want to do it if a paid update is soon.

^^ Yes, 1.5 is what I'm waiting for. The App Store currently has a 1.4 version.

 

It was explained to me before, but then the information seemed to change on another topic, so I need to ask again to be sure. How do the updates work? I understood that the customer betas after a purchase are the free updates, but then someone said they could update to the next commercial version, so I'm a little confused in what is eligible for customers.

[Bri-Toon]

Well how about that? The App Store updated Photo just 27 minutes after my post.
