Ok, I've waited more than 6 months to see if 'low priority' bugs are getting resolved eventually. Today when I've received the 'Update Available' from the Appstore.. I decided to start up AP again to check on the progress.. Those advertised 'new features' made me frown.. why all that mumbojumbo when basic functionality is missing/not working correctly. What a disappointment.. After two minutes of use: Really? Still the same bugs exist and even worse, the crop bug has gotten worse.. (Open a RAW, crop, DEVELOP, click on the Background (Pixel) Layer and select Move Tool: Observe a larger than canvas selection and data underneath) I'm glad I've said goodbye to this piece of crap software, no really.. I had high hopes and was once eager to buy. But it seems that you are TOTALLY uninterested in fixing the most basic stuff... If those trivial things don't even work, how are you going to sell this off as good software? Shame on you! Who is your CEO? Gavin Belson? I'm sorry that I've suggested this application to so many people who need something cheaper than photoshop.. Off to the trashcan.. goodbye! Again.. shame on you, team..

Hi, I have a retina 5K i7 2015 iMac since a couple of weeks now, because Apple won't fix my NVidia iMac 2013 for the 4th time.. they gave me this piece of cr.. well.. Since my switch to Affinity, the first app to start up was Photo. After some time doodling I started to have trouble focusing or something.. and finally put a pair of reading glasses on, to see if my eyes were fatiged.. My mouth fell open when I finally saw what was going on.. I really thought my eyes were getting out of wack.. soft/sharp/soft/sharp images.. I saw some discussions earlier on regarding retina 'issues' with AP(beta) during mouse/pen movement/drawing and with that, an explanation what the render engine is doing.. It partially switches over to non retina during the move/draw strokes. (and bluntly stating along the way that nobody will notice that switch) I want to start to scream, but I won't because I'm a big boy.. but I have to say.. Who thought of that as a serious idea to boost performance/get workable pen/tablet feedback? My mind is going CRAZY while drawing.. With this and the (yes again) dark interface 'arrogance', the cropping issues you're aware of since (insert deity here) knows how long, I can't take AP(beta) serious anymore. Back to the alternative I really don't want to go back to.. In a year or so I will try again and see how things worked out.

Seems to me this is a major issue and after that many beta cycles, it still isn't fixed? Furthermore (don't know if it's the same bug or separate one): Open a RAW image CROP an area and double click it to apply it select White Balance tool (W) hold ALT and drag an area.. observe selecting another area than where the mouse is.. <blowoffsteammode> Indeed priorities need to be set.. implementing panorama's are WAY more important than basic cropping.. </blowoffsteammode>

Hi, When trying to paint with brush presets i.e. DAUB INKS there's a constant 'full size' brush 'outline' visible... no matter what pressure I apply.. (option 'show brush preview' is off and has nothing to do with it ;-) May I say this is quite annoying? Is there a way to disable this? I had to make a photo of the screen to show it.. And again I end with the same question as my last post (until finally someone answers it) -what's the story on the much requested light UI -what's the story on brush opacity pressure Regards, Roel

There's a cropping bug.. To reproduce: Open a RAW image Accept default develop settings Re-Open Develop Persona Make a crop and double click to 'apply' crop Press CANCEL to get out of Develop Persona Observe: Image is cropped to the size of the cropped area but starting from top left corner Either way.. it shouldn't have cropped the image after a cancel... I've also seen other strange behaviour after cropping.. masking/painting occurs on image coordinates as if not cropped.. I can't seem to reproduce this at will.. if I can I'll report. PS. Any news on opacity drawing with pressure, and brighter UI?? Or should I forget about these options ever coming to AP? It has been requested a lot but can't find any 'hope' of being considered.. Regards, Roel EDIT: This bug is also in the appstore released version 1.3.5

A thread which is going on forever now and I have no idea what Affinity is planning on doing.. It's all a matter of priorities is what I understand to be the official statement. I must say that the older one gets, the harder it is to adapt.. (eyesight is getting worse by the day) All these discussions about how cool dark interfaces are and that Adobe has them and Apple is implementing them as well drives me nuts! A nice bright/neutral interface hasn't raised one eyebrow the last 20 years or so.. and now there is a four page thread where people are complaining because someone thought up something 'refreshing' What a waste of time and effort.. Affinity Photo (and Designer) needs to be #1 and it really has the potential to become just that. So, please... PLEASE! Make it top priority to change the interface and make your (older/pro/experienced/nagging) customers happy! Thanks
