Thanks for suggesting such a great topic. I'm trying to make videos that others might be missing. I think a lot of people are really focused on how to use all the new tools etc. haha - Yeah, some of the Affinity guys even told me that it took them a couple of weeks to get used to the new UI and find everything. I think everybody is gonna have the same problem. It's a huge change!

Thanks again!

My pleasure!

Happy to help!

Kree Terry, thanks for the kind words! I took it offline for a bit, I'm making some adjustments for V2. The brush engine and interpolation have been completely overhauled so some of my brushes transferred over with some wonky side effects/poor line qualities. I should have that up by the weekend.I will come back and post a link for you!

!! Kree Terry !! Did you every purchase the Quick Kit Vintage? - If you don't care about the brushes I can make it available again for you. I'm mostly concerned with the brushes at the moment. I tested the macros this morning and they seem to be working fine. However, the context tool bar sliders are a little awkward as they no longer contain text labels. So it's tough to see what you're doing when you want to create halftone screens. That being said, - the color separations macro works perfectly. Let me know and I'll send you a link and a discount code. - Also, people have asked me about this in the past. - Think I should just put the separation macro up for download? Think people would be sour if I charged a dollar for it? - Most printers would already know the process, but few people wanna take the time to sit down and actually record the macro. I'd give it for free, but it seems unfair. So many people already paid for the kit and might feel slighted. Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!

I was playing with that yesterday. I'm not sure if iPad has the quick grid feature yet. I couldn't get it to work! I will check again.

Not that I know of, but then again, I am not yet fully versed in all that is possible with the text tools in the app! I made this video because people kept asking about it, and I happened to know where to find it 😅

Whoa! How'd I miss this?! - Yeah, I haven't been using my iPad for a while now and wasn't aware of the change till you mentioned it! I guess they changed it in one of the recent updates?! Go figure!

Glad it helped! Thank you for watching!

It's not gone, it's now nested together with the gradient fill tool! Tap and hold that or swipe out on it and you'll find the transparency tool! Threw me off the first time too!

I imagine this is highly requested, but perhaps they felt the applications of optical kerning were generally limited compared to the metric which plays an important role in legibility of print media. Perhaps they felt it could wait. Your guess would be as good as mine! Thanks for checking out the video! Cheers! 🍻

Hey, thanks for watching the video. Hmmmm clipping masks. Maybe I'll make a video on masking. Any question in particular you have?

It's a little different now. Now, once you've got your text box on the spread, you simply tap on the icon to open the Text Studio. Then the keyboard will pop up. You can also use scribble to simply write in the text. Thanks for watching!

Yes! 😆 You can do it! Here's how it was done in V1. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e75imNKYx6vDlJc.html It's very much the same in V2, but soon I will do a new video on that as well!

@@FosterYourAffinity Thanks so much!

No dumb questions! haha - Always something to learn. V2 is a separate app. You can still hang on to your V1 and use them side by side. They are still working on V1 and will provide stability updates moving forward, but have stated that eventually, it will be phased out. Don't have a timeline on just how long that period of time will be yet. I hope this helped! Thanks for checking out the video!

@@FosterYourAffinity thank you for responding, looking forward to learning from you, I was never that good with v1, I spent most of my time in procreate as I'm trying to make a picture book, hoping that publisher 2 can be used to put it all together, honestly both look very confusing. thanks again

@@ciskid23 My pleasure. At some point I will do a few videos on Affinity Publisher too. Publisher for iPad is great, and the Affinity crew is pumping out some really great tutorials for it. Check out their playlist on the Affinity Publisher page in the mean time! It'll be well worth your time. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o61-odlku7LaYnU.html

I feel ya. It took me about a week to get comfy with it. I'm all good now though!

I'm not sure exactly, but it feels like they are now attempting to solve the problems that come with splitting a design suite into three seperate apps. All of them should work alone and together, so they are essentially all fighting for screen realestate. I'm hoping they impliment something like user defined personas etc in the future. That would be really cool, and would allow users to define their own studio setups within the app. It's one of the great parts of working on the desktop versions of the software. - We can define and shape our workspace as desired.

Understood. As my channel has been getting more exposure lately, I've recieved a lot of similar feedback. Thank you for making it constructive. I will keep it in mind for my future videos. Thanks also for watching, and I'm glad I could help.

While, I'm super happy with V2 for the most part, this is one of those things that, admittedly I'm not too crazy about. I don't exactly understand the logic, but I think it had something to do with the on screen keyboard. It seems they opted to compact the text studio, specifically to make room for the keyboard when it pops up. This way, the studio and keyboard could both be visible and usable at the same time. If that's the case, - I get it, but - the text studio does suffer from the overly nested options.
