states are pretty cool, but there are no functionality to re-order the captured states in the list.. also it's too easy to mis-click on the update icon instead of apply.. you can't even rename them. UX-wise this seems like a rushed job.

well, in fact, it would be great and also logical, at least to me, if the whole align panel remembered the settings, so you would only have to press apply next time if you wanted the same procedure as last time. Just saying "transform again", which has been a user request for ages now!

Thank you Ally for your excellent informative and concise info on this update! :- ) Very well done and appreciated. For me, the child layer shortcut and lock insertion point feature is the most welcome. Overall, I feel Affinity is really showing its age and, while I appreciate the overall amazing effort put into this program and giving us a quality alternative to PS, I really hope that they pick up their game with AI inclusion come version 3. Thanks again.

If you're referring to "Select Subject" in PS, I agree. It's such a killer feature. I just did some product photography that required a pure white background. I needed to isolate the background to adjust it to pure white. PS took 5 mins per picture to do. AP was easily half an hour per pic. 7 photos later and that time difference was enormous.

Every time they do an update to Affinity Designer, I get hopeful that they will do a raster to vector conversion -- like they have in virtually every other vector design program. People have been requesting that Affinity add this feature for YEARS. Yet they refuse to do so. Without this feature, Affinity Designer is not ready for prime time.

Id really like sculpt mode on pencil or brush to work better, has either the problem of not carrying on adjusting (add new curve) or change the shape in a way that does not go to what I want depending where you adjust from the square nodes. It is very frustrating and takes quite some time to do minor tinkering when it decides to do this.

@neliaironwood7573 4 ай бұрын

Yep. AI fanboy. Affinity is stating that they're including AI but it'll mostly focus on things like offline AI. There's the Inpainting Tool but its kind of hit or miss compared to what you can do on phones. They're not including any always-online AI generators. Clip Studio had a limited time AI generator, people didn't like it and they took it off.

If you've bought version 2, every update that starts with 2. (2.1, 2.2, 2.3 etc.) is free for you to download. When I open an Affinity app, it automatically notifies me that there is a new version. All I have to do is click okay to agree to download and install. It's possible that you somehow turned off automatic updates, in which case you might need to log into your Affinity account and download them manually.

I honestly hate Affinity Photo 2 so much. I knew how to use the first version just fine. I knew Photoshop and it was easy to adapt. It was necessary for me to pay for Affinity Photo 2, a bit of a pain but no big deal, especially if it's an upgrade. Nope, they changed so much about it and it's incredibly unintuitive. Looks like it might finally be time to pirate Photoshop again, because I'm not giving Adobe another penny. Although, tbh, I have my regrets about giving Serif money too.
