What's your favorite update in version 2.1? 😊

I love Affinity! I just really hope they get an "auto trace" feature like in Illustrator. It's one of the last holdouts from completely switching.

I love the Affinity suite but I still cannot give up Adobe Lightroom because it handles all my photo catalog and editing needs in one place. If Affinity added a module or an app like Adobe Bridge, I'd be in heaven.

Thanks for explaining the update so clearly and concisely!

Really surprised Designer STILL hasn’t gotten autotrace……

It's nice, but I'm a bit bummed out they haven't implemented AI quick selection and an auto tracer. Hoped for something bigger, but thanks a lot for the insights!!

Thank you so much for this Ally, there are wings in Heaven for you for what your doing to help people.

For someone who only uses Affinity PHoto, having the timestamps was awesome for only having to watch the items that interest me. Good stuff!!!

My favorite is Vector Flood Fill - just awesome functionality that I can use again and again .

Updated immediately after the release 🙂 Finally the Dashed Line is now adjusted. I use it very often and its limitations were frustrating. Great the ruler's guides as well and the selection tool (well great updates in general but these ones are the most used by me)

Thank you! You always get right to the point, and explain and demonstrate everything so that it's immediately easy to understand.

Thank you for the update! Watching your video was so much easier than reading the official documentation.

Another superb video Ally. Thanks for a great overview of the changes before I even knew the update was out! Of these, the crop tool changes are probably my favourite.

Great summary! Super efficient with all I needed to know in just 8 mins.

Oh my God finally affinity publisher have running header. And Thank you so much for information

Thanks for a brilliant update Ally. As usual full of the information I need. Really love the vector flood tool

Thank you so much für showing this changes!! I miss the vectorizer, the morphtool and the function to move objects with the enter key like in Illustrator. Select an object, press enter and then enter the exact distance you want to move it. But the moving part can be done now with the transform panel.

Great video! I love the Vector Flood Fill. I'd also like to see an Accessibility checker and option to add Alt Text to images in Publisher, and the possibility to export as PDF fillable forms! 😊

Thank you for the concise presentation. I use AP for books so Running Headers is great for me.

I was waiting for the crop tool changes sooo much, thank you

Boy, Ally. You’re fast! I just got the email from Affinity this morning and you’re already posting videos. I’m impressed.😊

Thank you for this, have the Affinity suite and have been upgrading it since launch. With all the Ai tools now being implemented in other tools, was hoping for major announcement in this release.

Nice updates. BTW, keyboard shortcuts really needs a search box to find the features.

Excellent synopsis. Thanks! Only issue I see with these changes is all of these improvements are very basic stuff that had to be implemented years ago. I'm still happy that they were FINALLY added though. I'd love to see some improvements to the perspective correction tool. It's severely lacking compared to Adobe Photoshop. The batch tool is also quite lacking. You can't even drag and drop your files or folders. You have to manually go and browse your files. I hope they improve it.

Hi Thanks for the update, I will check it out. I'm pretty sure these new changes will be great!!

My favorite updates are the crop tool, brushes panel and guides 😊

Had no idea Photo even *had* guides… 😂 which is why I watch your videos, Ally!

Affinity Effects *After effects alternative?* It certainly makes sense, and it would give Affinity much more business. In fact, Affinity could actually purchase Hitfilm which actually looks similar to their products, and change some of the layout and features to make it more uniform, along with adding some more After Effects features to make it more resemble After Effects. There should be an "Affinity Effects", or something like that.

amazing visualisation, lucid explanation, thanks!!! ❤ 😊👍

Hi, thanks for the update. I hope affinity designer have dimension tools like drawing on CAD program, this feature I've been waiting for long since version 1. Thank you in advanced.

Thanks for showing the updates. I hope they speed up a little and get more added quickly. Everything is advancing so quickly and it feels like Affinity is lagging behind. There is a lot of competition on the horizon.

Thanks Ally - some useful features. Now to go experiment a bit :)

Thank you for explanation to all features update! I wish in next update, Affinity can add Real Vector Brush and also Table/Chart tool too.

Thank you Ally, very helpful clear demonstration.

great to see the small but very useful productivity improvements. I hope "transform again" is going to be implemented soon, too, that would be huge for many of us.

Great explanation to the new updates. Thank you yer a clever lassie.

Thankyou for this. Love to Ezra.

Thank you Ally for this good news 👍👍👍

great - many thanks!

I only use affinity photo. My interests are only in photography and photo manipulation. Nice video!

Very well done. Thank you.

Excellent, very useful

THANK you for that's update. we hope can update again with auto trace bitmap to vector please....

Great video, as always.

I love this software 💖💖

Please please please add the following feature that was available back in the glorious Freehand times: Allow any vector line or shape to be converted into a guide. This is super useful for perspective construction. Please!

Super ! Merci 🙂

The new feature adds excitement to using the affinity designer

Thanks for the video! Do you think Affinity will ever get batch editing for raw files?

I would love to be able to change the UI when working on a windows tablet.... I love Affinity, but I can't use it to its full potential on a surface. And I have seen what is possible with an Ipad!!! 🙁 Nevertheless, very cool updates. And thank you for making such full-featured programs without me getting poor from it 💙💜🧡

I deed some very useful improvements. Will these also apply to the ipad app? Any chance of some videos on the app too please?

thank you

I still have Drawplus X8. Does this Affinity Designer have the CUTOUT studio tool or the AUTOTRACE tool?

Thanks to you

Great video. Change color of guides possible? I opened the Guides panel and see a Color Box under Column Guides. I changed the color to bright green butl the color of the guide does not change, it stays blue. What is this Color Box for?

Tiny incremental improvements are always welcome but why the version bump? I am still waiting for the AI selection tools that other suites have for quite some time now.

Hello I'm having trouble with Affinity Photo 2 when I go to export it say's "An error occurred while exporting" all I'm exporting is a psd. the latest version I'm on is 2.1.0

thanks for the video .. seems like the masking options have disappeared when I updated Affinity Photo

As silly as it sounds, the ability to close all is long overdue. I have been wanting this feature for a long time.

Would love to see a timeline function in affinity photo and/or designer. Would be perfect for animated gifs or webp images. Thanks for the updates!

I really like Affinity, its way more userfriendly than photoshop. But you need way more AI in the Software. Auto Selection, for background removement etc. With Photoshop you are way faster. Hope you come up with more soon.

Does affinity photo support stereoscopic 360 images?

Would still love to have the crop layer functionality from Designer added to Affinity Photo. I can do 99% of my workflow in Photo, but cropping layers is abysmal in Photo, so I end up needing to swap to Designer just for that.

I was seriously disappointed when v2 removed "Separated Mode" for Mac. I have 2 huge monitors and always worked with image left, tools right. I can't work with one image locked to my toolbars. If they ever bring back Separated Mode, I'll be the first to update and get the rest of the cool features.

affinity should do a motion graphic software to substitute after effects, that's the only reason i'm stuck with adobe, it's a lonely market, almost monopolio

My version of Photo is not offering the update, Designer and publisher are..

🎉

Still one downside of Affinity Suite that they do not have right to left feature. Thanks for the update

Does Affinity Photo have "blend if" function??

Sorry, I can find no Vector Flood Fill Tool in my newly updated ADV 2.1, there's no bucket icon and I don't know where I could find it to give it a try.

we want a plugin for stable diffusion !!!!!

Right-To-Left text!

As much as i like Seriff's Affinity Photo, it still makes me sad that there's not usable batch raw processing yet :-/

I'm still waiting for the RTL language in affinity

Hi is RTL supported yet? I'm kinda tired of waiting for them add support for it.

Still waiting for photo to get the 3 basic AI masking features that most others have: select sky, select subject & select background........

Looking forward to 2.2 update video.

Still waiting on ipad version to be better for sketching and auto trace

Just updated to version 2.1 but no sign of the Vector Flood tool

I want a Linux Version

Hope if affinity support Arabic Language .. and add select subject by AI .. Thank for video

That's all great and all but I still can't wrap my brain around why the Publisher v2 didn't come with ability to create accessible PDFs. Publisher is pretty much dead to anyone who needs to do that - and a LOT of people do.

Smart Object available in Affinity ?

I still miss an autofunction in developing RAW-pictures... 😪

Goodness I'd listen to her read a dictionary

1:32 This is definitely not the original aspect ratio. It looks more like bug.

I don’t really know what to think of this update honestly.. seems a bit .. idk small

we need korean

Why on earth don't they follow what most software does? For instance, most drawing software use ALT to duplicate but here, Affinity uses CNTL to duplicate and and ALT to delete. This is why I've never liked Affinity products and I would not purchase the again. They just make simple, intuitive things so unnecessarily difficult.
