Must-know changes in Affinity Photo 2.5 | UPDATE

[@sf-gt9co]

just discovered your channel..AMAZING!!

[@IAMRENSI]

That’s awesome! Welcome to the channel! I just past the 100+ uploads, so there’s a lot to learn about Affinity Photo here! Enjoy 🔥

[@user-tj8cw7fc7n]

I love these programs but I have not found a way to make a contact sheet and view several images at the same time to show my client. Is there a way you can explain to us please, because in other programs it is very simple but not here I find the way. Thank you very much for your response and your excellent videos.

When will this update be live? It is not asking for an update in my end

[@IAMRENSI]

Should be live already! I literally just downloaded it this morning. Maybe open and click on 'Affinity Photo 2' in the menu bar, and click 'Check For Updates'. Hope this helps!

[@4sightfitness]

Have you any plans for competitions coming up?

[@IAMRENSI]

Currently I’m running The Photo Editing Challenge which actually is similar to a contest/competition with prizes! If you haven’t yet, you can find more info here: academy.iamrensi.com/p/challenge. And if there’s a lot of demand for a next challenge/contest I’ll probably host it more often! 😊

[@Bill1844]

Is this available for the iPad version?

[@IAMRENSI]

Honestly, I’m not sure. Don’t really use the iPad app. But if it’s not there yet, I’m pretty sure they roll it out soon

[@criviera4040]

Beware! 2.5 has a bug that does not allow any of the Affinity programs to start in some computers. Continue using 2.4.2 until they work out the bug. Hopefully 2.5.1 will be out soon to take care of this bug.

[@IAMRENSI]

Haven’t heard of that bug, but that sounds super annoying. Luckily mine just opens as usual. Hopefully they’ll fix it soon!

[@moncyn1]

I installed and app is not starting on windows lol

[@IAMRENSI]

Oh oh, haha. Unfortunately I can’t help you with that. Hope the issue will be solved soon! 🙌

[@PhiddyPford]

Double stroke for a win!

[@IAMRENSI]

You can also apply a double stroke using FX! Just hit the '+' icon next to the Outline option to add another one! 🙌🏼

[@DiegoWeb13]

Hello IAMRENSI, beautiful video 🔝🔝👏🎬💥👍

[@IAMRENSI]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the new update video. You like the new features? 😊

[@DiegoWeb13]

Hello@@IAMRENSI Yes, I have already updated Affinity Photo and tried the new features, the variable fonts and the QR Code are beautiful.🔝💥👍

[@TraitorFelon.14.3]

Does it do tracing to svg/curves?

[@IAMRENSI]

If you mean to convert a selection into a curve, unfortunately it still doesn't...

[@CasaFassa]

windows arm is rocking good news. They are just releasing the new qualcommm chip laptops

[@IAMRENSI]

Ye, I’m pretty sure it’s gonna be an amazing upgrade for Windows users! I’ve been on a Mac since years, but pretty exciting anyway 🙌

[@inaflashnetworkinaflashpro918]

Does affinity have a program like Lr?

[@vladimirkarphotography]

You can develop your photos the same way but there are no collections, catalogs..

[@inaflashnetworkinaflashpro918]

@@vladimirkarphotography so capture 1 it is

[@inaflashnetworkinaflashpro918]

@@vladimirkarphotography so you just import them and batch them out like Lr after they are edited?

[@vladimirkarphotography]

@@inaflashnetworkinaflashpro918 no .for that reason and for luminosity masks i still use Lr and PS.

[@TikTokBrian]

I quite like “var-EYE-able” as a word but it ain’t English.

[@IAMRENSI]

Haha, oops. I’m Dutch so it’s not English is not my mother tongue. Will try to improve. Hope you understand me nonetheless, Brian 😅

[@TikTokBrian]

It’s not a problem and yes, I could understand you very well 😀 It’s a very good video. Thank you for posting it. Considering it’s not your first language, your English is very good. In fact that was the only word that really sounded wrong. And it’s only where the stress is in the word. In that word the stress goes on the first syllable: VARE-riable

[@kyfisher3662]

2.5? mine only updates to 2.4.1

[@IAMRENSI]

Hm, that's odd. Maybe try going to the menu bar and click 'Check For Updates...'. Hope this helps!

[@ianbrowne9304]

What's new ? Sweet bugga all imo Grid: I have a "basic" start macro that adds the grid and ruler I normally would use ; and yes , it's in inches 😇. Don't understand Pixel measurements --- besides too many numbers for this dyslexia bloke

[@IAMRENSI]

Then the new default grid feature is a game changer for you! That’s great. Haha honestly the pixel measurement is kind of confusing. I just have been using it for many years now 😅

[@naveed0846]

when they add AI features in there apps

[@IAMRENSI]

Not sure honestly. I’m personally not really waiting for generative AI, but select subject and so would be very useful. Perhaps since they got acquired by Canva more AI will join the party. Time will tell! What AI features would you like to see?

[@Turtleback8024]

When you compare Affinity Designer to Adobe Illustrator, you can tell Affinity is crap!😡 It’s no wonder why they haven’t been acquired by Adobe. They probably saw through the BS!
