Hi all, haven’t done much lately,  but since 1.7 update I’m motivated again

‘Is anyone else finding designer sluggish since the update?

[affinity4Christ15 37]

It's been a "workflow-destroying update" because of how sluggish and full of bugs it is. For the first time in the 7 years of AD, I am disappointed! I sure hope they fix this mess soon. Missing features. Disappearing features. Lost all my saved gradients, sets I've accumulated over the years, and cant remember where I got them...GONE! Gee thanks. Not a happy camper. By the way, AWESOME piece of work to say the least! WoW!!!

Thank you, I feel fortunate that I’m only suffering in performance after reading your post,

do you mind sharing how you created the image above? Is this a photo with enhancements / fx ? How does the line drawing come into play? Surely it doesnt start from those lines and end up with the first photo? @Bentleg

Hi its all vectors "lines"  so yeah no photograph's were used it was just an initial sketch of my hand with a dose on imagination.
