Now I'm sure somebody is really excited about those new features... but where's my blend tool? At this point I've been waiting for over 8 years!

I hear ya, certainly isn't the most exciting update for features.. it's got a few cool things but i'm waiting on that canva money to bring in some bigger features!

Are you talking about the “blend if” from Photoshop ? I wish there was the same kind of feature in Affinity. Seems really useful for painting highlights.

@bydesignmethod 2 ай бұрын

@@Milky63 I believe so... we have 'blend ranges' next to the blend modes but I don't think it works as well.

@@bydesignmethod I think I have limited options on the iPad version, but either way I don’t think the blend features of affinity are as powerful as the « blend if » from Photoshop. From what I can see on tutorials anyway. I love Affinity but I really wish they would implement that feature. Can’t be that hard.

Affinity needs to give us a very simple way to open our previous Adobe photo, indesign and Adobe Illistrator files etc. I need this pretty sure I’m not the only person needing to be able to use our Adobe files in at least these 3 areas of Adobe…

Hey, What happens when you open the files? many PSD's work fine for me but I do have issues - same with some AI files.

Would love to see a way to import PS styles as there’s so many good ones out there and the use of colour fonts that PS can use as well. Very happy with affinity regardless, you hardly use 50% of PS as it is and for the price, it’s incredible.

interesting I've never tried that, I have to do some testing!

Beware! 2.5 has a bug that does not allow any of the Affinity programs to start in some Windows (10 and 11)computers. Continue using 2.4.2 until they work out the bug. Hopefully 2.5.1 will be out soon to take care of this bug.

I hope that now being under Canva's thumb, Affinity Photo is not going to become the poor relation. There are so many bugs and additions requiring attention, many of them first noted years ago. But virtually nothing for us in this update.

@bydesignmethod 2 ай бұрын

It's certainly nothing major, I've skipped doing a video on the past 3 updates. My fingers stay crossed hoping for the best!

Are any of Canva and Affinity integration in this 2.5 Affinity? Okay, I just saw reply that this not features in video are not for iPad.

@bydesignmethod 2 ай бұрын

Hey, In regards to the Canva topic nothing yet. Affinity was at the Canva Create conference and appeared on stage to introduce Affinity to the Canva crowd. Basically the tagline was 'Create with Affinity, Scale with Canva' - so basically still two separate platforms right now, no information on what's next. Thanks for watching!

I'm trying to save a shortcut to the desktop in windows for Publisher 2.5. It can be saved to the taskbar but I can't find the install folder to create the shortcut to the desktop. Any ideas?... Update.... Found it in C:\Users\NAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps. Search for a png, converted to an ico file then changed the icon in the shortcut settings. Must be an easier way...

@bydesignmethod Ай бұрын

Hey, I don't use windows but did a search on the topic myself and it does seem somewhat complicated for some reason, creating shortcuts should be pretty easy!

You can get an exe version instead of the app. Might help with this and be less complicated.

Honestly not much! some new cameras added to New cameras have been added to LibRAW: FujiFilm X100VI Leica SL3 Pentax KF (Ricoh) Samsung Galaxy S23+ Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra Sony ILCE-9M3 (A9 III) (improved) I can understand as a photographer with a photo program I would expect the features to be expanding always.

I haven't found a single font including EB Garamond that will allow me to make changes to the font. Horrible feature so far. Affinity is turning out to be a big joke.

@bydesignmethod 2 ай бұрын

Not one?! I found most of mine don't work, the idea of it is super cool..but truthfully not much use to me at the moment.... lots of people collect all kinds of fonts, I don't.

@noelclaremont Ай бұрын

Affinity is a “big joke” because a singular feature that will be utilized by 1% of its user base isn’t polished? What a ridiculous statement. I use the Affinity suite everyday in a busy startup and it’s been a huge asset.
