I’m trying to find the best way to use new live luminosity range masks in Photo V2 for exposure blending. I think it’s possible to reduce computational time, memory usage and file size, compared to traditional workflow. Instead of creating a set of luminosity masks saved as spare channels (really tricky and requires a complex macro), now I just use a preset of curves for luminosity range masks suitable for lights, darks and midtones. Assuming there are two or more staked pictures with bracketed exposure and starting from the first one that has to be blended with the base exposure underneath, I’m following these steps: 1. Add a live luminosity range masks as child of the picture layer that must be masked 2. Select preview for viewing the mask in black and white 3. Tweak luminosity range mask curve or use presets form the menu 4. Add an empty (black) mask as child of the same picture layer (it hides the visibility of the picture layer) 5. Select the picture layer 6. Make “Selection From Layer” (“Ctrl+clik” on the layer thumbnail or “Ctrl+Shift+O” or from “Select” menu) 7. A new luminosity selection is available as marching ants appear on the screen 8. Delete the luminosity range mask 9. Hide marching ants (optional) 10. Select the empty (black) mask 11. Paint with a white brush (choosing proper opacity) on the black mask with the active luminosity selection to reveal the picture layer Steps form 4 to 8 can be recorded as macro to speed up workflow. I have never used Photoshop, but I think new Live Luminosity Range Masks could be more effective than functionalities offered by some panels available for Photoshop. I hope it could be useful and eventually improved by your suggestion.

I have the same issue. See three examples with luminosity range mask in preview mode. Mask in the first picture is ok, but as soon as the curve touches the uppest x-axis (second picture) pure white becomes suddenly black . I'm able to partialy workaround it moving the most right node to the left. The curve in the third picture is very close to the second one, but pure white remains as is.

I decided to upgrade to V2. Anyway thanks for the reply. I hope it won't be necessary a new topic in V2's section.

I'm testing AP V1 without HW acceleration and also increased ram usage limit to 32 GB (max) from 24 for. Main system specification are: Win 10 22H2, Gigabyte AB350 Gaming 3, Ryzen 7 1700, RAM 32 GB 2666 MHz DDR4, Radeon RX 580 4 GB, Samsung evo 860 (system), Samsung evo 850 (data).

I don't have that folder. I'm using V1. Anyway I found this folder C:\Users\xxxxx\AppData\Roaming\Affinity\Photo\1.0\CrashReports\reports\ but it's empty.

Thank you for your answer. I have already tried most of the fix mentioned in that page. Nevertheless AP is the only software showing that issue. Moreover sometimes the application crashes without any memory error. In this cases no option to recover from autosave.

I'm having unspected crashes recently. Today I had a stange memory error message, shown in the picture. Never happened before. Traslation is: The instruction at 0x00007FF8BDE21420 referenced memory at 0x0000000000000000. The memory could non be read.

Using the colour picker in the "magnified" mode, the RGB values on the document (e.g. fill layer) are different from the same colour in the swatches panel. For example, in a new layer filled with R:242 G:13 B:13 the corresponding colour on the swatches panel is R:220 G:51 B:17. It's the same for every choice. Is the swatches panel able to show the right colour? Thank you

AP Windows crashes when grouping layers

Thank you Hubert, I can confirm you conclusion. I have checked other files with Live Noise Filter. Sorry for the OT, but just to say I was using a separated mask because a wanted to group some layer and make them alla affected by that mask. I don't know if it is an efficient workflow... I'm quite new to AP . Francesco -

This is my file. Thank you DSC_3011_01.afphoto -

AP Windows crashes when grouping layers

I have got the same problem already mentioned here, where I wrote I wasn't able to reproduce it. But today it's the same with another file. -
When I try to group two layers (eg. noise reduction and clarity) Affinity quits immediately. It happens just with the file in the next picture. I was not able to reproduce this on other files. Thank you Affinity 1.7.0 - Win 10 Version 1903
