davidjovan Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 I'm cutting the cord from Photoshop and have already purchased Affinity Photo & Affinity Designer, but I have two questions. 1. Is there an Artboard feature in Affinity Photo like they have in Photoshop? I use this quite a lot in Photoshop. 2. Can I import over Photoshop Styles into Affinity Photo & Designer? I don't want to lose these creative photoshop styles. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least in Designer you could create as many artboards as you like and you even have an artboard tool letting you size and move artboards around. There are also pretty handy features to create an artboard around a selection and other useful features to create artboards. I have photo too, but use Designer way more often, so don't know if Photo has artboards too, but both programs are based on the same codebase, so probably Photo has artboards too somewhere. There are also pretty great features to export artboards to files too btw. 2) I never imported Photoshop styles into Affinity, but I see it's possible to import *.ase palette-files at least. And import brushes from *.abr files. I don't know if it's possible to import styles directly from Photoshop. In the Affinity styles panel there's no import for styles other than Affinity fileformats as far as I can see. Not sure how well all these import works, maybe other people on the forum could help you with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use this quite a lot in Photoshop. Only Affinity Designer (AD) has the ability to create artboards, but because of the shared file format you can edit an AD file — and hence the contents of its artboards — in Affinity Photo. 57 minutes ago, davidjovan said: 2.

davidjovan Posted June 12, 2019 Author Share Posted June 12, 2019 Thanks guys for sharing. I will have to use AD as my main program. I hope they create a tool to import ASL format in the next few updates, it can't be that hard. BTW Serif family ROCKS!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidjovan Posted June 13, 2019 Author Share Posted June 13, 2019 Sorry for the late thank Yous everybody. I specialize in designing club party fliers, etc. The promoters love animation to their still pictures, so I've been using these software / plugins https://artymate.com/learnhow/ for Photoshop and https://www.photomirage.io/en/ a plugin & standalone for Paintshop Pro to accomplish that task. I'm trying to find one standard plugin / program I can use in Affinity to accomplish the same. Thanks again everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
