Is "full screen mode" planned in any way for future updates?

Been trying affinity for a week now.

Two monitors setup, one with a pen. Windows.

I need every inch or real estate on the pen monitor, but I can't shut off all the UI. I've searched for a "full screen" toggle on affinity online, and apparently it's never been a feature. Seems to be a thing only on Mac as far as i can tell.

It's somewhat of a deal breaker for, and i don't expect it would be that hard to implement.

Is it coming like ever?

Space btwn Artboard Layers

https://preview.redd.it/gydxl7iunb2h1.png?width=293&format=png&auto=webp&s=4e55ae1792757e76605e2b44cc54112afeaabd94

Hello friends!
Who here also suggests that we need some spacing feature between artboards in Affinity 3?
I really think we do because for me, even with the color highlights, having a lot of layers in an artboard can be tough to rapid find the next one,
If anyone has a work around, pls share with us, would luv to learn from you,
Thanks :)

Batch export artboards, scale, naming, etc.

I have a couple of varying logos and want to export them in a couple of formats each. For each artboard:
SVG, .png 1000x1000, .png 300x300 transparent background, .eps

They should be named ArtboardName_FileFormat_Dimensions.xxx

Is this possible in Affinity?

Slicing can't change dimension, or seems unable to name the output files.
Batch Export can only use files as input, not objects from an open file.

How to recreate this in Affinity?

So I made this in Illustrator by adding a gradient with a customizable grain on top. I need to re-create this in affinity where it’s rescalable because it is an asset I iterate on regularly and it cannot be changed because I have to switch software. I can’t find a grain function in the filter section of affinity’s filter menu. If anyone has any idea how I can recreate this I would appreciate it.

Not renewing.

Had bought Affinity 2 a while ago and honestly I used it so little I was hesitant to make the move. Now for the past few months I had used Affinity 3 consistently for client projects and got to the point where I feel it really is all I need. Felt so good to break free of the monthly subscription.

Affinity Pro Version?

I am using the free Affinitiy programme on macOS, and I am not sure if I am just dumb or don't understand how the app works but it seems like I am missing tons of functions.

I also don't see where I can upgrade to Pro, even if I wanted to. I am watching Tutorials on Youtube and everytime I try to follow them, I can't cause I don't have these functions (example Fill layers). And yes, I am on the "Pixel" when trying to get to these functions.

I would like to try the Pro version but does it even exist? I only every see "Affinity now free forever" whenever I google this issue.

Non-destructive erasing?

I was erasing earlier on a file and it magically was adding masks making my edits non-destructive. Then I started a new file from a jpg and wanted to test editing photos, removing backgrounds, etc. This time it isn't doing it that way and selecting+deleting or using the eraser is indeed deleting data instead of masking.

Is there a toggle I'm missing?

Free tool to convert Procreate/Photoshop/GIMP palettes to Affinity .ase format

Been wanting a way to bring my Procreate palettes into Affinity without manually re-entering every color. Built a small tool that handles the conversion — drop in a .swatches, .aco, or .gpl file and export it as .ase. Works the other way too if you want to take an Affinity palette somewhere else.

Beyond palette conversion it also has a screen eyedropper (Alt+P), a color harmony generator, WCAG contrast checker.

Standalone .exe in the Releases section if you don't want to deal with python.

What am I doing wrong? (Brushes won't apply to anything..)

I'm really frustrated right now. I just want to use the various brushes on stuff, but for some reason I can't figure out how to apply them.. Whether it's paths, basic shapes, type, anything.. nothing happens when I click on the brush options. All the tutorials I watch show the user simply selecting the object they want to apply a brush stroke to, and then selecting the brush they like, and it applies automatically (see here for example). I'm trying to do the exact same thing: I type a word, want it to have some rough edges, so I select the type and then one of the available brush presets, but nothing happens. Even on a simple line path, or a rectangle shape, selecting a brush does nothing.

Help me please! Never expected to be slowed down by such a simple operation.

Is it possible to invert a clipping mask that is made using a shape?

i want to cut a hole using a shape as a mask, i can drag the shape onto the layer i want to clip so it works as a mask but i cannot find a way of inverting it like you would with a normal mask layer. Do i have to use the vector tools to cut the shape out of another layer that covers the whole canvas and use that? If so thats really annoying.

AF Photo for IPad is very good!

I have begun using the iOS version of AF photo for fantasy map creation and have been incredibly impressed by its feature robustness and performance! Specifically I am using a 2024 M2 IPad Air. I was really surprised by how much of this 15k/15k project I was able to work live, with hundreds of layers and imported elements, a vast amount of which had FX applied on top. I was able to add incredible amounts of fine details, and it wasn’t until very late in the project that I had to start rasterizing folders / my ipad started overheating and auto dimming my screen.A minor thing I found constraining was the lack of true support for instancing along curves or creating path objects for railroads etc. A workaround I found for this was to create the curves in designer, then copy/paste them into photo and just keep modifying and copying that object. Not perfect, but it did work. I would also really benefit from a better asset browser for imported png tokens. Overall I am loving the ipad experience, and I really hope the new direction for AF keeps up this degree of iOS support.
