They took a little getting used to, but here they are! Looking pretty splendid, in my opinion! Publisher is pre-ordered, Photo and Designer are each freshly updated without a hint of a problem to their respective v. 1.7 with all macros, brushes, assets, styles, and palettes right where they belong, and my MAC OS Sierra is off to the races!!

flowrider Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 I downloaded the Trial yesterday and it looks good. However, the print dialog box does not have a feature I require. I need to manipulate, resize and move objects I am printing. The feature has been available in Photoshop for quite some time. I'm currently on CS6. Will you folks be incorporating that in the future? Note - I don't do Social Media - The reason I am asking the question here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to "\Users\username\Library\Application Support\Affinity Photo\" and paste the contents into there overwriting whatever was in there For Mac App Store do the following: Go to "\Users\username\Library\Application Support\Affinity Photo Beta\" and copy all the files and folders inside there. Go to "\Users\username\Library\Containers\com.seriflabs.affinityphoto\Library\Application Support\" and paste the contents into there overwriting whatever was in there When you next run up the application it should have all the same settings your beta had. However please note that if you had already made any changes to 1.7 (or had any content from 1.6) already there these WILL BE LOST! If you wish to keep that then export those out and reimport before doing the steps above. Instructions here for Designer equivalent Thank you so much. I guess if I do your first steps instead of the beta contents but with the 1.6.7 content it will work the same?

I bought it yesterday via the Serif page, because I was notified that the update was available. I also purchased the update for Designer. Does that mean I just threw 90€ out of the window or was this legit. If you have bought the app through the Apple App Store previously, you should get your updates through the App Store as well. The updates are free. If you had an existing app with Serif, ie Affinity Photo and you bought it again, I would suggest to get in contact with Serif to see if you can get a refund or change your license.

I bought it yesterday via the Serif page, because I was notified that the update was available. I also purchased the update for Designer. Does that mean I just threw 90€ out of the window or was this legit. If you purchased your 1.6 version from the Apple App Store, you will get the update to the 1.7 versions through the Apple App Store update mechanism for free. No fees at all. However, you cannot update your Apple App Store versions through the Serif Store. These are completely different ways of purchasing. So actually, you seemed to have bought a full license of Affinity Photo and Designer in addition to your existing ones. Maybe you could contact the Serif customers department and ask them if they would be so kind to offer you a refund. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Cantor Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Is it just me? I upgraded yesterday to 1.7 and find that certain tasks such as Selection Refinement are taking significantly longer than previously. Difficult to judge accurately but I'd say three or four times slower. I run a 2-year old iMac with the latest OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icecastles Photography Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 So happy HEIF is now supported. A ton of features here I'd been hoping for and several I'd not realized I'd wanted but am thrilled to see. Are there plans for any tutorials to walk users through some of the new features or more interesting changes such as the reworked HSL palette? It seems considerably more powerful, but also a bit tricky in how to get the most out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidMac Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 App Store shows only my original pre beta app. Nothing shows in updates and Cmd R does nothing to update 'updates'. I can't use what I have because it won't let me in and I get a message telling me download the new version. I am not the only one confused that is clear from other posts .......... can someone please hold my hand and take me though this step by step? Same applies to Designer of course.

DavidMac Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 With the greatest of respect Patrick there is confusion everywhere. I am not the only one with problems. This thread is full of questions like mine. A thread announcing a new release seems an entirely appropriate place to ask for help downloading it. It's already full of questions about downloading. Brushing me off to another forum is to say the least discourteous. I have followed and commented and given input on this beta for months and I have supported Affinity since it's inception. Quite frankly I am angered by your lack of assistance .... however, given no alternative, I shall, do what you say ......... but, to be honest and frank, you have left a bad taste. After so much that has been so good what a terrible shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
