      Hey Pixero

      Do you know if Affinity can work with Thea 16/32bit PSD images?

      Cheers

      Sam

      It does open 32bit PSD files and you can write back to the PSD file too

          Yeah, I purchased it recently after using Designer for awhile.

          Don't think I'll renew my PS subscription. Photo does what I need and more.

            I'm using AP too and it's great for 32bit renders from Thea. Want a trick for Relight in Affinity Photo?

            Hit Relight before your render and save as EXR with all channels... You'll see all lights separated in full glory 32bit channels and you can use them as layers and relight in AP.

            Sweet but it will require disk space. My latest required 3.5Gb.

              That is very clever. 👍

                I must be living under a rock, I never heard of this amazing tool, I just bought the new Paintshop x9 (I'm a Corel guy) damn! I certainly will be looking at this next.

                    What is the difference between Affinity photo and designer? or why need both?

                        Designer is the same as Adobe Illustrator.

                        I use it for dealing with EPS, SVG files etc.

                        If you don't deal with those then you don't need it.

                              Kind of a dumb question (I think I am getting good at that) but what does CA stand for in the pricing? What is the US price (in the video I saw $49)?

                                I think the CA might be Canadian - someone else may know more than my guess? US pricing is $49.99 each. Well worth the cost!

                                I'm also looking forward to when they roll out the Affinity DTP (the upgrade from Serif PagePlus)!

                                    Designer is more like illustrator but have also pixel painting and editing. They are also working on a competitor to Adobe InDesign so then they will have a full suite of tools all sharing the same file format.
                                    Another very cool thing is that Photo supports most photoshop plugins and can open and save psd files.
                                    My only problem is that I have been working with Photoshop for so long that it will take a while to adapt to the differences.
                                    We recently upgraded from CS6 to CC at work so it will be a mix of apps for me when working from home or the office.

                                      nay,

                                      you can use presto too, it's even more intuitive, go to channels and enable "pass per light" along with all the plaethora of other useful channels you'll need.

                                      The beauty is that later, you can turn off all lighting and only re-render the lights you need. You can then replace your light channels on the final image. A single light pass is very fast to render and works very well with denoising too.

                                      Take a look at this:
