Posted by Patrick Connor , June 19, This thread is for commenting on this announcement.

For purchases from the Mac App Store: These are done automatically next time you run after it is available in the store. Apple sometimes phase roll outs around the world sometimes taking up to 72 hours.
For purchases from the Affinity Store: Each time you start the software it will check for updates and offer any available update, or in the application main menu there is an option "Check for Updates", or it can be downloaded from here that link is NOT for Mac app store purchases. Alternatively you can log into the affinity store here and find the order in your account and use the download button in there.
Patrick Connor Serif Europe Ltd. True nobility lies in being superior to your previous self. Maybe I am missing something but when I open a multi-page Publisher document 1. Yes, I have. I'm running Designer 1. Very cool. However, there are some minor screen draw problems where pages are not entirely displayed. See attached video. Video is not uploading at the moment. See screenshots below instead. Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums How wonderful to see you here.
I am well thank you, and your post has cheered up an otherwise fairly bad day.

Patrick Connor Posted June 17, Posted June 17, New Point Transform Tool allows you to scale and rotate objects from any node. The Node Tool now contains a 'Transform Node' option which provides a containing box for the selected nodes and allows for more freeform editing of the nodes. Pen tool now has a 'rubber band' mode and also a mode to allow future curves to be added to the current object's curves for example, the character 'a' is constructed of two curves in a single 'curve object' and this mode makes that construction simpler.
Node tool can now auto-snap nodes if you drag a node from one curve over the top of a node from another selected curve and pause, it will offer to snap to the same geometry as the node you're hovering over ie, modify the on and off-curve nodes to match. This is really useful for trying to reconstruct areas of one curve from another curve. Pencil tool now offers a 'sculpt' mode that allows for extending or manipulating curves in a more natural way. More to come in this area soon. Many tools now allow for 'Alignment widgets' which you can toggle the visibility of in the context toolbar.
Fill tool correctly allows editing of skewed fill handles and newly-created skewed fills draw much nicer now. Ruler origin can be edited by simply dragging the area where the rulers intersect each other - it can even be snapped onto objects in the document. Guides can be edited in most tools by simply dragging a guide in the ruler area. Grid setup is now more interactive: origin can be dragged, axis scale adjusted and angle adjusted on-document, complete with snapping to objects and angles in the document to help you reconstruct useful grids from finished artworks or sketches.
By enabling 'Edit in Plane' on the new Isometric Panel, tools can edit objects and appear to make those edits along the currently active plane - extremely useful for artists who enjoy working with any axonometric projections. You can now drag the rotation centre point when enabled on the context toolbar while holding Ctrl and it will translate the object - this is actually very useful for positioning and snapping objects relative to others. Shapes tools now have presets so you can create your own favourite shape setups and more easily use them again.
There are just far too many subtle tool changes to mention here, but hopefully you'll find the tools much improved General Arrowheads are now available in the Stroke Panel. New Appearance Panel allows for multiple strokes and fills on a single shape. Visible bleed accessed from the View menu so you can more easily design into the bleed area - a common feature request.
Traditionally, if you roll back the undo history then do something else all your changes after that point are lost. Designer will now display a small branch icon in the history tab when you do this. New 'Isometric Panel' makes it easy to setup and work with various axonometric projections within the application.
HEIF images can now be loaded directly into Designer. If they contain a depth map, this will also be loaded as a second layer. Designer now supports custom document presets - a popular feature request. A new blend mode - Linear Burn - has been added. Layers Panel now allows you to tag individual layers with a colour and display thumbnails with transparent backgrounds and at different sizes.
Grids now have an editable number of angle subdivisions. The Hard Mix blend mode has been improved. Numerous text improvements have been made - including new features such as bullets and numbering. This exciting feature allows any raster brush to have a list of other brushes attached which will draw at the same time.
Each sub-brush has a fully separate and customisable set of dynamics. You can control when the sub-brushes are drawn and how they blend with the main brush.
Symmetry up to way is now supported - including on-canvas controls and optional mirroring. Wet edges and accumulation are now available on colour brushes and brushes with HSL variance.
Brushes with multiple nozzle textures have always chosen the nozzle at random. All pixel brush tools now support left and right arrow keys for rotation - a common feature request. Adjustments The HSL adjustment layer has been rewritten. It now supports custom hue ranges, a new algorithm, new UI and picker controls.
The Levels adjustment layer now supports output levels - a common feature request. The White Balance adjustment layer has been rewritten. The Selective Colour adjustment layer has been rewritten. The Vibrance adjustment layer has been rewritten. The Recolour adjustment layer has gained a lightness slider.

Dial and Pen support for Microsoft Surface devices has also been significantly upgraded, giving users new ways to interact with the apps. This allows photographers to see new levels of the detail captured in RAW files, while designers can push colour intensity in graphics far further than was possible before. As more and more graphic content is being consumed on HDR displays, it will start to become important that designers are using an app which can both work in a 32bit colour space and render the results on an HDR monitor.

Patrick Connor Like Loading Eddy-2 Posted June 19, Posted June 26, Arrowheads - at last! Thank you, thank you, thank you Eddy-2 Posted July 1, Posted July 1, Serif has released a new version of Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer. Version 1. Hi, because when I drag or move from one place to another, my document in the Affinity Designer canvas becomes very slow, as in pauses?
I comply with the system requirements, this does not happen to me with other design software. Most of the low cost software is worth the price. For example, Microsoft had a program called Expression Design.
Curiously, it had the same kind of brush tools as Affinity Designer. So rather than find out about things like missing or low-res images, overflowing text and bleed problems when your work comes back from the printer, you can spot and fix them before you send off your finished documents.
Publisher 1. And to make your life even easier, you can now save your documents as template files that can be re-used as many times as you want. It's not just Affinity Publisher that's getting template support; it's also been added to Affinity Designer and Photo, and templates can be shared across all the Affinity apps. While Publisher's getting the spotlight with this 1.
