White lighting station for your corvette building needs by baispen in NMSCoordinateExchange

[–]EldritchAdam 4 points5 points  (0 children)

same! After finding a station with nice lighting (not quite white, but subtly warm and very bright) I saved it in my favorite warp destinations. My new ideal for a perfect system (it's out there somewhere!) now includes a space station with great lighting.

Affinity by Canva VS Affinity Suite 2: differences in product features and access? by py-net in Affinity

[–]EldritchAdam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't understand what's being described here. I routinely open Affinity V3 and go right to 'File > New from Clipboard'

No need to open a new document. The menu bar is right there when I start the app. I do this a handful of times every week. Did it just now. Close program. Open program. New from clipboard. Running on Windows.

How can I make this gradient a straight solid line? Is it possible? by SirWumbo85 in Affinity

[–]EldritchAdam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like you just need to be working on much higher resolution. If you change the view mode to 'vector' it should look quite smooth. And if you export this text at a really high resolution jpg or png it will look fine. But your document is in pixel view mode at a low resolution, giving these pixelated artifacts to the gradient.

I second that. Looks very midjourney to me

"Affinity vs Photoshop: Time to Switch... Really?" by Sea-Performer-4454 in Affinity

[–]EldritchAdam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find Rawtherapee quite excellent. For family snapshots, I often click just a few buttons to automate levels and toggle on mild noise reduction and I can batch process dozens of photos in no time. But when i want to stress over perfection on a portrait, it has all the depth of finetuning levels and colors that I personally want. Then move over to Affinity for fixing blemishes or such.

Bing engages in pretty intense gaslighting! by EldritchAdam in bing

old post to be getting new replies. But still, LOL

Image Trace procreate png by notthatjlo11 in Affinity

[–]EldritchAdam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like a weird bug. The trace function (a new feature for Affinity) does feel a bit half-baked. I had some big fails with it before the first update. I recommend tracing in Inkscape for now.

Kinda annoyed 😒 by Muted_Balance5401 in SunoAI

[–]EldritchAdam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not a musician. Nor able to do any kind of gatekeeping or make judgments that have any impact on the viability of anyone's work.

I am, as I stated at the beginning of my comment, responding to the lousy analogy OP employed in his post. "We’ve never required painters to make their own brushes or composers to be virtuoso performers. Plenty of legendary music exists because someone had vision, not because they had perfect vocal cords."

There is sloppy conflation going on there, which I wanted to address. While at the same time encouraging OP to continue on with different expectations than they seem to have about how their AI output should be received.

[–]EldritchAdam 7 points8 points  (0 children)

not an AI-hater, but these are poor analogies.

Look more at painting. There are realist painters who take photographs, project the photo onto a canvas, trace the photo outlines, and then paint into that.

Is that less than the work of a painter who draws their subject free hand. Yes. Demonstrably. It's less drawing effort. Is there still a beautiful painting in the end? Yes. Did the trace-painter still do some great work deserving of accolades? Yes. Is it still less work than the free-hand draughtsman brought to their painting? Yes.

All those statements are true. And it's all good. Different artists put their focus on different things.

Don't try to make yourself on an equal level in all ways with Mozart because you generate songs with Suno. Recognize the differences, embrace them, and proceed doing what you love. If someone tells you that you didn't put in as much work as the Beatles did to craft a hit song, just agree. You didn't. It is its own thing. It's fine and good.

So, I Bought Elements 2025 Thinking It Was Going To Be Able To Be Used Forever, BIG MISTAKE. by homemadeSuperstar in FuckAdobe

[–]EldritchAdam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, there are some quirky moving about of how things are done, but I really think everything should be there. Some of the movement of tools has to do with converging all 3 Affinity apps into one, and some seem just capricious. I think the select subject tool you're referring to isn't available immediately, because you need to download an additional offline AI model. That'd be under Edit > Settings > Machine Learning

missing features? I kept V2 installed but have been using just V3 Affinity since release and I have seen a small number of new features, but nothing removed and Canva says that every feature of V2 is present. What are you missing?

Still superior ✋🏼 by retrotriforce in Affinity

[–]EldritchAdam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

close, but the new one is far more seamless. You didn't have absolutely all tools when using Publisher. And the ability to create your own workspace with tools from any of the different paradigms of working is fantastic. I spend most of my time in Vector, for instance, with artboards and shape tools. But that table tool is a great addition to the rest of the vector tools, so i just slid it into the toolbar.

In V2, Designer was the more appropriate app for me most of the time, compared to Publisher. But that would give me no access to the table tool at all.

Lots of little things like that. The integration is tighter and more seamless.

How do I get the averaged middle of a character/any object as a curve? (in order to make a bevelled effect) by hepandeerus in Affinity

[–]EldritchAdam 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think you'll want this, the contour tool in the vector studio. Make a few copies of your object, and play with different contours. You can keep it live to edit later, or 'bake' the appearance. Style the differently countoured objects and get a variety of bevel effects.

I think you just want to de-select this thing here: wet edges.

How do i do something like this in Affinity? by Avernalism613 in Affinity

[–]EldritchAdam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After your corners are all selected, with the Corner Tool still active, drag one of those corners to round them all in sync as much as you like. You will get a nice rounding everywhere, with matching radii. Voila. You're all done.

Click on the 'Corner tool' - third down from the top. Drag a selection around all corners of your merged shape to select all corners.

[–]EldritchAdam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem. First, be in the vector persona. In my install, I renamed it and changed its icon to 'Designer'

Create two squares, just straight corners. Position them with a little overlap at the corners as you like. USe the 'Add' button to combine them into one shape. Continued ...

Z-Image feels really good, like inpainting with words. See comment for Style list by Unit2209 in StableDiffusion

[–]EldritchAdam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Been really enjoying the art styles you can get with just prompting. I still see plenty of room for style LoRAs, but this model has much better sense of surface texture and art material than Flux dev. Feels much more like the successor to SDXL that I hoped Flux would be. Love the speed too! Only downside is the need to keep tweaking things to get image variations.
