![]() It's not the only simple enhancement that I'd like to see both tracing and moving both handles of a node simultaneously and symmetrically is managed by Inkscape (free, btw), so I am struggling to understand why Serif seems to just focus on bug-hunting rather than enhancing the designer's experience. If Serif isn't going to add something designers expect to find in Designer when they buy it (like I did) - and are used to having it in other vector drawing programs - can you at least tell us why not? July 2014 this thread started and still nothing from Serif on adding this function, despite some good points being made - such as you already had this in DrawPlus, Inkscape and Illustrator have the function, etc., etc.Īs far as I can see, Serif's position is "Use an alternative bit of software as recommended by other users". Another 'proof' for this is the new 'Astrophotography Stack' Persona that was introduced with the latest Mac beta of APh.Īnyway, it is an interesting topic and I am really curious about what we will see eventually □ So it is much more likely that we will see a Vectorizer Persona at some time instead of a stand alone application. They have a strong vision on how they develop their suite and one of the key features is the Personas. I think so because a Serif representative once posted (quite a while ago): 'We will only introduce it when we feel the results are good enough.' This does not sound like they are going to wrap around some Affinity-GUI taken from something that is part of Inkscape. But honestly I don't think Serif will be going that route. I appreciate your way to provide constructive input for a quick solution. They should make them standalone utilities.Ī standalone tracing app using opensource code from Inkscape, just with an Affinity "skin" applied to it that exports Affinity native files, would get the job done fine. This wouldn't be something all users would need or want, so make it an optional extra. ![]() Add listing image resolution, profiles, dimensions, PDF versions etc and I'd trust ALL repro files coming out of Affinities apps. Just give me the ability to view each colour channel individually to confirm over printing, knockout, spot colours, colour mode. I'd be willing to pay $50 just for an app that will allow me to proof a repro-ready PDF. I think a range of "Pro level utilities" would be a great money-spinner for Affinity while we wait for v2 of everything to be released. It was called Corel Trace and was an app, not a feature in Draw. Years later, they still sit on the fringes and no-one seems to have noticed, or even seems to care. They feel like they were purchased from third parties and shoe-horned into Photoshop. all of which feel like standalone apps with their own interfaces. I think Adobe has already done this: "Save for web", "Filter gallery", "Liquify mode" and "Raw photo developer". Instead we wait patiently for its turn to come around in the features roadmap where a developer is going to lovingly integrate it into Designer and probably spends months troubleshooting it because it's conflicting with something in Publisher due to the shared file formats. If you think it's important, I'm sure you'd happily pay a measly $5 for it. Affinity could even charge $5 for it rather than adding it as a feature for free which will frustrate everyone with its slow delivery and impact on earnings. I played with the luminosity, put it in 0.650.As a quick solution, what I'd advise to Affinity is to not try and integrate all features into their current apps. There you can play with the different parameters to adjust the vectorization to your will. In order to do it, you have to go to path > vectorize a matricial object.Ī panel opens. I did a tutorial on Inkscape, if you want to know how to install it and learn the basics of the interface. To vectorize our image, first we have to open it in Inkscape. Now it’s time to clean our moff and clip it ! Thanks to the magic wand tool, you can select the areas you want to delete. Now I just have to crop what I don’t need. In order to do so, press the “C” on your keyboard to open the tool. ![]() I won’t need all that document, so to win some time I can also crop what I don’t need. ![]() Once it’s done, you just have to press your “delete” button to erase what’s selected. It will make you win some time and select a lot of the background at the same time. To help you, you can use the same tool as in photoshop : the magic wand. Like most of the software, you just have to click in file > open file and voilà ! :) And a link to its documentation : Step 2 : open your file ![]()
