Bri-Toon 592 Posted December 19, 2018 I'll be testing Designer a lot more after the holidays. I've just been so busy with moving, but so far, I love the update. The website is still a work in progress. The "Comics" and "Shop" sections are not yet ready. Feel free to connect with me and let me know what you like or what can be improved. You can contact me here, on my contact page, YouTube channel, or Twitter account. Thanks and have a great day! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Photo is getting more updates mainly because of fixes to the Metal acceleration stuff - which Designer doesn't use, so doesn't need the same update frequency Many thanks! Matt What happened Matt with your typing? I hope you don't need a new keyboard to complete your changelog listing. I get the impression something REALLY BIG is about to be unleashed. 1 fde101 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MattP 3,867 Posted December 27, 2018 I ended up getting tantalisingly close to finishing, but didn’t quite make it before Christmas, so rather than rush out a version without my changes that I’d not had chance to look at properly I didn’t bother - I’m still typing my new thing (doing it this evening, just waiting for it to build for me at the moment) so I’m working on hard on getting it finished.... Hope everyone had a great Christmas - looking forward to next year being a big one!!! 1 1 SrPx and MrDoodlezz reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The current roadmap is the 1.x roadmap, covering all ‘point’ releases (i.e. 1.7, 1.8, etc) for version 1. Any features on that list should be included in a free update before version 2.0 is released, so some of them probably won’t be added for at least another year. 1 Patrick Connor reacted to this Alfred Affinity Designer 1.6.5.123 • Affinity Photo 1.6.5.123 • Windows 10 Home (4th gen Core i3 CPU)Affinity Photo for iPad 1.6.11.85 • Affinity Designer for iPad 1.6.4.45 • iOS 12.1.1 (iPad Air 2) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
simon bd 1 Posted December 30, 2018 Thanks for this beta version. My feedback: I wish I could paint up to the bleed limit, but my pixel brush strokes stop at the document’s edge. This, I find, defeats the purpose of a bleed. Of course I can still move or scale my artwork to make it bleed, but it’s not ideal. Unless there’s a trick? I was expecting more vector brush fidelity in the new version. The vector brush re-interprets my strokes too much; I don’t see any improvement over the current version. This is on my highly-desired-features wishlist! Please note that the pixel brushes, on the other hand, are perfect. Thanks for the pencil’s sculpt mode, a great feature! It would be great to make it available to the brush tool too. To use it on brush strokes, I need to change tools temporarily, which is not very productive… but it works.

Sounds like you have View > View Mode > Clip to Canvas enabled. If you disable it you can paint outside the main canvas area and into (or beyond) the bleed area. (I'm not sure it should be necessary to disable that option, as I think it would work better if the definition of "Canvas" for clipping purposes included the bleed area. 1 vonBusing reacted to this -- Walt Windows 10 Home, version 1809, 16GB memory, Intel Core i7-6700K @ 4.00Gz Affinity Photo 1.6.5.123 and 1.7.0.243 Beta Affinity Designer 1.6..5.123 and 1.7.0.243 Beta Affinity Publisher 1.7.0.238 Beta Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
simon bd 1 Posted January 1 Thanks Walt, so there is a trick! However, I disabled it and tried a stroke that bleeds—it still stops at the document’s edge. On or off, I see no difference. Anything I’m doing wrong? (I’m assuming “Attacher au canevas” is the option you’re talking about on my French version!) Thanks for your help! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anything I’m doing wrong? Interesting. No, I think there may be a bug. The vector brushes (which I had tested) will paint outside the canvas with "Clip to Canvas" off, but the pixel brushes won't. You might want to start a new topic about that, so it doesn't get lost as easily. -- Walt Windows 10 Home, version 1809, 16GB memory, Intel Core i7-6700K @ 4.00Gz Affinity Photo 1.6.5.123 and 1.7.0.243 Beta Affinity Designer 1.6..5.123 and 1.7.0.243 Beta Affinity Publisher 1.7.0.238 Beta Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
simon bd 1 Posted January 1 Thanks Walt. I’ll report it. By the way, I tried this option with vector brushes. In fact the vector brushes will always draw on the pasteboard, no matter how you set up that option. Thanks again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

simon bd 1 Posted January 3 Thanks everyone. Seems like Affinity should get their act together around this bleed thing and make it work cross-platform. Now if they can also give us vector brush stroke high-fidelity, Designer will really be my dream app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

R C-R 2,608 Posted January 8 What exactly do you mean by "symmetry widget"? From your screen recording, it looks like you have enabled the Move Tool's "Show Alignment Handles" option, which allows you to drag the selected object by one of those handles to move it around, including to snap its center or edges to some other object, like the dashed line you are calling the symmetry axis. 1 xman reacted to this Affinity Photo 1.6.7 & Affinity Designer 1.6.1; macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 iMac (27-inch, Late 2012); 2.9GHz i5 CPU; NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660M; 8GB RAMAffinity Photo 1.6.11.85 & Affinity Designer 1.6..4.45 for iPad; 6th Generation iPad 32 GB; Apple Pencil; iOS 12.1.1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MEB 6,829 Posted January 8 Hi lenogre, The (Show) Alignment Angles controls are just for aligning objects or nodes. They aren't intended to mirror objects along an axis. I thought you were talking about the Symmetry option (context toolbar) for the Brush Tools (in Affinity Designer Pixel Persona and Affinity Photo Photo Persona). 1 xman reacted to this Affinity Quick Reference | Common Feature Requests | Call for Camera Images Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xman 3 Posted January 8 The (Show) Alignment Angles controls, is pretty cool. I can see where this can be very useful. Combine this and hide selection when dragging can increase your control in certain situations. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lenogre 72 Posted January 9 OK, I thought it was for mirroring objects… Moving objects is very easy now with these new handles but nothing changes since the first alpha release about symmetry. I use symmetry all the time and it's a big pebble in my shoe… You added a icon for rotation center, do the same for symmetry please. 2 options : - Click on the symmetry icon and press enter or one click on the screen : same behavior as usual - A click and drag defines the axis of symmetry Or click on the icon with ALT = option for axis of symmetry Here's a video : symmetry with MOI3D.
