    @hark -- There is a tutorial on the new forum site showing the trace tool in action, its pretty cool for artwork The new Affinity forum is now at discord on its own channel, It will be useful but a warning from an older person its very "modernly" social. I tend to just laugh at the nuttiness...

    I have just spend a long session working on personal calendar photos with V3 - I had some saved files with V2 to compare the same RAW files. For this "test" I just started over with the same RAW file then compared the final product. To my eyes the sharpening effects are slightly better using the...

    A photo my wife liked from our recent local walk, the leaves interested her - over all it seems busy to me

    Here are screen shots for comparison (keep in mind I am still working on setup) of note there is not the "same" GUI lighter toggle the shot of V3 is system default - V2 I ran in this lighter mode. Another interesting note is both V3 and V2 were running at the same time to make the screen shots...

    @blackstar Good morning 🌞 The 12 hour review (ment to be funny) is I would certainly give the program a try. So far the export module is the most different working (seems to do everything the same) in function. My V2 macros did not work with the export module (you can easily make new ones)...

    Yes that seems to be the case, and I can verify this behavior I'm not familiar with Image trace, they have combined the graphics tools all in one program. These used to cost extra and I had not had them before lots to get used to. I found an odd bug (I think it is a bug) where a user created...

    Additional initial observations: 1- I was able to import my macro's from V2 and all my custom brushes and they all seem to work. 2- Its been a while since I used V1 but the changes of placement (where things I'm used to are) seem like a normal version change (It is this is V3). Take your time...

    Hello all Affinity users, Just ahead of the announcement, the website went live Affinity has joined Canva. However the Affinity we know and love is now "free" if you want AI you need to pay extra (something many Affinity users do not apply for). I have downloaded it and installed it. The new...

    Well it "looks" like they are going to a subscription based service. Since I had a current subscription (just as you mention above) they said I could download it free (my sub will renew in the spring). I had followed your issues (I think you are using light room/ps) that was unacceptable. I was...

    Interesting experiment, it had been some time since opening Topaz AI and I was processing my super underexposed Tennessee warbler shots so I though I'd give it a shot on these tough ones. There was an offer to "update" to the new Topaz Photo (apparently a whole new program) it said at no cost...
