I've long since given up on Affinity as a tool, and as I've described in previous posts they certainly lost business in me being able to recommend Affinity to my company's design team.
Without wishing to sound the pessimist, this 'feature' request goes back at least three years and like a number of other utterly basic artist-specific issues in AD and AP (such as Affinity remembering which brush you are using after changing the state of the brush and size increments to the nearest whole number, rather than bonkers 4.9, 9.7, 15.6 and so on) it has been ignored. The 'sneak peak' of is interesting and welcome, but as ever with so much of Affinity development, handling 600k object layers feels so much like an eccentric edge case in comparison to basic GUI problems that make the apps hugely unusable if you are a digital painter.ġ.10 feels like a milestone release but it is crushing to try out the beta and find all of these conditions as they were five years ago. and the GUI problems as reported in the thread ' preferences: add option to remove/hide brush outline'?Īs I see it, neither issue has been addressed at all and cumulatively all I think are ground zero hindrances to artists who would be looking to make the switch to AD and/or AP from CSP, Painter and the rest - a huge market. Mark, is there any timeline around solving the brush highlights issue as reported in the thread 'What Brush am I Using'. effectively absolutely anything rather than address very legitimate feature requests going back to 2016 or so. The most galling thing around Affinity is their focus on everything else but this, from focus on Publisher to their 600k object layers. I can't imagine Procreate aren't looking at the vector space too.Īnyway, all very interesting - I don't use an iPad and your comments have answered some questions I've had there. Of course, over time CSP have ramped up their own vector tools and you feel they could make serious inroads into this market if they had a mind, just as they have started to mop up on PS's space for illustration now. This, apparently, is their modus operandi and to some extent understandable - no developer has the time to comment on every feature request/bug report - but after all these years it starts to feel a lot like arrogance.
I genuinely do not know how anyone approaches painting/sketching in AD/AP with such fundamental issues (the brush 'resize and unhighlight the brush you are using' is another corker) and it is incredibly frustrating, as is the basic silence from Affinity. For me, all Affinity need do is clone CSP's brush dialogue and we would be there so everyone is happy, but even after years we are still no closer.
