Steve Beeston got a reaction from Michail in Affinity Photo for Windows - 1.7.1 June 18, 2019

Extremely disappointing to see that the shadows/highlights live filter has still not been fixed.
1.7.0 basically broke the filter. The new filter performs very poorly and removes the radius slider.

No improvement whatsoever in 1.7.1 either. Very disappointing.

Agreed. The shadows/highlights live filter is now worthless. Very crude and just compresses the dynamic range at the bottom.
As I recall the filter was recently rewritten for recent versions but that rewrite has now been dumped and the old tool in Develop moved in to Photo. It's just appalling. I'm either going to have to revert to 1.6.5 or go back to Photoshop.
Steve Beeston got a reaction from Jowday in Old Versions unavailable June 7, 2019

I am extremely unhappy with the poor performance of the "rewritten" shadows/highlights live filter in Photo 1.7, to the point where I would like to revert to 1.6.7.
Unfortunately only old versions up to 1.6.5 appear to be available on the download page - 1.6.6 and 1.6.7 are both missing. Is this an oversight?
