What i would love to see Affinity do is get some 3D tools in there similar to illustrators (3d bevel extreu inflate tool) or the vanishing point with mulitple planes and being able to copy content on x,y,z axis. And move and place along an individual axis. But i love what Affinity is doing. :) Thanks for covering this.

    I've been having such a hard time getting used to affinity. I've used photoshop for 15yrs and the way masking and clipping masks work throws me off. I'm also trying to used to the move tool and transform tool being the same thing. Kind of wish I could separate them but I'll keep trying to get used to it.

    • @IAMRENSI
      @IAMRENSI  2 місяці тому

      I can imagine after 15 years. However, I've got a whole lot of members inside of my community who have switched from Ps. It's just that you're so used to it, that any change throws you off. But if you take the time to get used to it, it's actually a very logical thing that for instance the move tool can also transform layers!

    Hi Rensi Tried it myself. I stopped because it was terribly unstable when experimenting with more complex pics. (Big 40-50 MB files coming from RAW).. the selection is a kind of lottery. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. This and the impossibility to manually add or deduct within the object selection tool (a + or - brush like in e.g. Topaz AI) makes it, like I said, a kind of lottery and therefore useless to me for the time being. But yeah it is a kind of fun. Until it crashed again. (I work on updated Mac-pro M1)

    I like Affinity's low price (and they have a deal right now that if you own the v1 software you can update all 3 programs for $30), but good lord they don't make their workflow easy. It is 20x harder to be productive with their software versus using Adobe's famous trio of Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign. If Affinity wants to really steal away Adobe users, they absolutely need to work on workflow. If they just offered the same key commands and toolset as Adobe, that would be a massive improvement.

  • @rolandrick
    @rolandrick 9 днів тому

    Please Serif, give us finally also a DAM and really good raw developer (that’s what LrC or C1 are, but both don’t support .afphoto files natively). Then we can get totally rid of the Adobe and Capture One subscription model. I rather prefer to pay a fair price for each major upgrade and owning the software instead of renting it. The version 2 universal license I purchased without hesitation the second it was available. Don’t forget to add an “Import Lightroom Classic Catalog + Edits” function 😅.

    Finally, this is huge for many photographers! I've been wanting this a long for time since selections can take a long time, I just hope it's good at complicated things like hair and fur. Also, interesting that they call it machine learning and don't say "AI".

      My reading of that is that they really don't want the baggage (and hype) with calling it AI. Since up until the last couple of years, ML and AI were often seen as synonyms, but lately "AI" seem to only mean a very limited selection (/models) of machine learning. So I like that they call it that =)
      Mind, I suspect that while I will use the tool, I'll probably not install the saliency model to get the option--it's a nice convenience and I'm sure for some workflows it'll be a game changer, but for me personally I rather use the select tool to "feel" like I have more control. After all, *I* know which one's my subject =) (again, not poo-pooing the option or people for whom the "select subject" is important, just ... not needed for my workflow).

      @@Melindrea I think Affinity also is trying to stick with efficient algorithms that run locally on your own machine because if they had to run a service that the app connected to, they'd have to charge a subscription. And the lack of subscription is their main selling point. But locally run stuff is a lot more limited since you can't rely on people having a datacenter's worth of gpu's to run the model lol

      @@omgbutterbee7978 As someone that has messed around a fair bit with local language models for coding, you don't really need a datacenter of GPU, especially not for something this focused. What it will do is make your local GPU speed or a CPU with AI acceleration somewhat more important. Not sure about AMD GPU's, but any fairly recent, mid-ish tier Nvidia RTX card should be more then fast enough.

    It's got a very long way to go yet, I made a selection much faster and more accurately with the selection brush, refinement and lasso tool compared to the AI selection
    Pleased to see it in beta now though
    Too much refining and too much tweaking to be of any real time saving yet but I know it will get there

    • @IAMRENSI
      @IAMRENSI  2 місяці тому

      It probably depends on what you're selecting. For simple selections it does a good job. For more difficult selections there's quite some tweaking necessary indeed. For a beta version it looks promising to me!

      You're right. Even GIMP has more blending modes, filters and special effects, and a better healing selection tool than Affinity Photo. They are, indeed, still some distance away from Adobe Photoshop.

    Not impressed, actually. I don't see much difference between the manual selections.
    Most of the subjects were cherry picked to be easy.
    Hair is hard. I shoot models and deal with it all the time. I see lots of background with the machine learning selections, which is a fail.
    I am a fan of Affinity, but this new tool needs lots of work before its release.

    so far I am not exited at all. And maybe never will be exited because all images never work - not in your cases not in my cases. Wether ON1 or PS - it`s all promising but the final results always have to be fixed and so … even the final image of your eyamples - a white dress in front of a dark background? I will never get, why this is so difficult and I am glad that it is difficult - AI is just one tool and never the solution.
