Terrific tutorial. This is practical stuff; I learned a lot.

Bob Domine

Excellent Olivio!! Very helpful!

Kevin Phillips

Thankyou Olivio, a nice introduction to keeping all your assets under control. I do have paper textures but I always 'placed' them when I wanted to use them. Now, they will be to hand at a click of the mouse. BTW, are the asset managers different for Photo, Designer and Publisher and if they are, is there a quick way of making them the same?

Bruce

Thank you Olivio, another very helpful video. Perfect timing as was just building up my asset library and did not have a clue this feature existed.

Daniel Brady

Thanks Olivio, that was excellent. The possibilities are endless. You could have whole universes in there. Wouldn't it be better to shrink the assets first?

Olivio, do you know if the original files are copied to another location or just referenced when added to the asset manager?.

Hi Daniel, thank you :) Yes, you can shrink them first. However a larger size will assure that you can use them even with future formats and screen resolutions. Since Harddrive space is very cheap nowadays, i would rather opt for larger sizes :)

Hi Bruce, thank you. Took me a time too to figure out a good use for it. Icons and Speech bubbles are somewhat limited, so i am very happy this also works for these effect textures :)

Hi Kevin, yes, i did it like that in the past too. Assets can be handy, but having them just as files on your harddrive is useful too. Sadly the asset libraries are not shared between photo, designer and publisher. So you basically have to do it 3 times. UNLESS you create them in the Publisher instance of photo or designer, in which case you can use them in all 3 - for some strange reason. Good point about the saving of the files, i forgot to put that into the video: they are saved in a format that is only accessible to the affinity software and not a open folder structure. so you can't access the files via your desktop folders after they are imported. i hope they will change that in the future

Hi Olivio, I have all my overlays, gradients, reference images and sky replacements organized in there so far.

Iveta

Danke Olivio habe ich schon über die Assets gewusst aber Tutorial ist Tutorial ;-) übrigens ich habe die Assets bei Publisher reinkopiert, damit ich nicht alle 3mal habe. Schade das mit allem ob es Brushes, Styles, Asset etc. worübergeht, muss man alle in alle drei Programmen installieren falls man sie braucht. Vielleicht kriegt das Affinity Team hin und irgendwann wird nur eine Gruppe geben, von welcher jenige Programme was man braucht davon "rausholen" ginge. LG Iveta

Hi Iveta, danke. Wie hast du das mit dem reinkopieren gemacht? Export/Import oder gibt es eine Möglichkeit die einfach zu verlinken ohne die Daten 3 mal auf der Platte zu haben?

Iveta

Es geht auch mit export und import aber momentan arbeite ich primär in Affinity Publisher wo ich mich “umschalten” kann zu dem Programm von den drei welche ich brauche. Ich hoffe dass ich mich klar geäussert habe :)

Alles klar, Iveta. Ja, genau das meinte ich, das man da die Library gleich mit allen dreien nutzen kann. Das sollte echt standard sein, so das das auch in den Programmen geht, wenn man sie ohne Publisher öffnet. Würde Affinity echt viel nutzen :)
