rui_mac Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I just noticed that when I'm about to paint in a layer mask with black, I get a preview of what is about to show up in the layer beneath. And a preview of what is about to be recovered when the color is set to white. And a blend if I'm about to paint with a value between black and white.SWEET!!!!! Don't know if that was documented before but, damn!!! It is sooooo SWEET!! :D MattP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retrograde Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Feeling good, the option eyedropper colour picker seems quicker now, more responsive, yay! Mixer brush is still kinda weird, acts more like a smudge or liquify brush...? Can I ask why or request please please, that the command spacebar and option command spacebar zoom tool behaviour get added. I don't see the reasoning for not having this. It's driving me crazy having to go to the navigator panel constantly... unless I am missing some other shortcut... same request goes for AD pixel persona. What's the design rationale for deviating from this very widely used convention? :) http://www.kevincreative.com https://www.behance.net/kevincreative https://dribbble.com/kevincreative https://www.instagram.com/kevincreative/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrograde Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Any plans for an interactive canvas rotation feature? Comes in very handy for digital painting. :) http://www.kevincreative.com https://www.behance.net/kevincreative https://dribbble.com/kevincreative https://www.instagram.com/kevincreative/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

celliott80 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I am trying to apply perspective to an embedded Affinity Photo document and every time it rasterizes the layer and it is no longer an embedded object. Is this by design or is this a bug? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msoon2k Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 What's "Blend Ranges" guys? Product & Portrait Photography - www.marksoon.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Werner Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 What's "Blend Ranges" guys? It is similar to Photoshop's "Blend If" feature, except that the user interface is a lot better. It basically allows you to make a layer partially transparent based on its luminosity or that of the layers below. For instance, you can use this to set up a layer so it only affects the shadows of your image, or you can quickly make a white background transparent for a test comp (you'll probably still have to unpremultiply somehow in most cases). You could, say, limit the effect of a saturation adjustment to the shadows by adjusting the curve for the underlaying layers ("Underlying Composition Ranges"). It is also great for exposure blending and so on. www.peterwerner.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dieter Vanhalst Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Nice improvements already and what a pace! Keep them coming and Adobe has some serious competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
