Mac App Store: Submitted

Hello,

We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of the first release candidate build of Affinity Designer 1.7.3 for macOS.

If this is your first time using a customer beta of an Affinity app, it’s worth noting that the beta will install as a separate app - alongside your store version. They will not interfere with each other at all and you can continue to use the store version for critical work without worry.

This beta is an incremental update to the 1.7.2 version recently released to all customers. We recommend that you use this beta in preference to the store version if you are affected by any of the issues listed below.

Matt

 

Changes Since 1.7.2

- Fix for importing .abr brushes

- Fix for masked adjustment groups drawing incorrectly

- Fix for PSD import crash

- MacOS Catalina compatibility

- Fix for importing .abr brushes

Yay! For Mac users who own both Photo & Designer, this means that even though there is as yet no Mac Photo beta with this fix, we can import .abr raster brushes into this Designer beta's Pixel Persona, & from there export the brushes as .afbrushes files. Then we can import the .afbrushes file into Photo 1.7.2.
