Flatten Pro and Multifill Plugins

[aforandy]

I'd love to see support for Peltmade's Flatten Pro and Multifill Plugins. Those two would go a long way toward making this a go-to program for comic book and illustration work. Thanks!

Welcome to the Serif Affinity Forum :)

 

I assume you are referring to this functionality in Affinity Photo

dfordesignmeister here,

 

How is that plugin any different from creating separate layers for the brushwork / colour fills, on layers underneath the linework?

I'm obviously missing something here???

 

Thanks.

Patrick - Yes, Affinity Photo - I should have mentioned.

 

DesignMeister - Combined, the two plugins detect every shape indicated in 2-bit line art (a black and white comic page, for instance), assign a unique color to each (for easy aliased fills and selection), and create a new layer beneath the line art on which the shapes all meet with each other. This flatting process greatly improves the quality of offset printing and saves loads of time.

 

I know plenty of people in the comics industry would love to move away from Photoshop, and support for these plugins would make it way easier.
