I'm in Version 2.3.1. Studio is under the Window tab and there is no histogram setting.

Color correction is one of the most important aspects of photo editing. Photoshop has color-picker targets, while AF relies on moving the individual color sliders in Levels or Curves. The latter requires a histogram for accuracy, which is present in the photo persona although not in the RAW processing persona. That makes no sense. I'm curious to hear your reasoning for this. Better yet, please add this functionality as it is necessary.

Hi Callum, I went to your link, as well as my online account page, and can't find the MSIEXE downloads. All I see are MSIX.

Thanks, Callum. Will I lose my personal settings if I do this?

I finally found the extensions to my Affinity Apps 2.0. although Adobe Bridge still won't "Open With". There is no error message, although AP simply won't open. See the attached video. Has anyone encountered and solved this problem? C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\SerifEuropeLtd.AffinityPhoto2_2.3.0.2165_x64__3cqzy0nppv2rt\App Recording #25.mp4

I tested the issue by going step-by-step through different brush settings and discovered that the primary cause of the lag is when I set the brush hardness to 100%. Backing it off just a few percent makes the brush responses exponentially faster.

Thanks, Stuart. I'm still struggling a bit with tool-name translation after decades working in the Adobe Suite. Btw, do you have any insight about the brush lag issue?

Before posting, I read through the forums to hopefully find a solution to my opacity problem. What I found was the suggestion to disable Wet Edges. As you can see in the first video, not only does it work in reverse on my machine, but also never achieves 100% opacity with anything other than basic brushes. You'll also notice in the second video that there is no fluidity when brushing. The lag is impossible to work with. My machine is an Intel i7 with 32G of DDR4 RAM, which works fine with Adobe Photoshop. Please advise. AP Brush Problem 1.mp4 AP Brush Problem 2.mp4

Someone on this thread mentioned the potential end of Affinity if it doesn't adopt generative AI. As a commercial user of Adobe for several decades and a recent convert to the Affinity suite, I find no reason to worry about that. I was a power user of Adobe in the brand identity field and eventually decided to switch after retiring. With no more need to regularly share files, I was more than happy to cancel my overpriced membership. In a nutshell, Before converting, I ran three months of extensive comparisons to ensure that Affinity had the requisite tools and sophistication to compete with Adobe. The short answer is that it more than does that and a bit more. Adobe's AI has some value on a mass production level, although it's unnecessary for essentially all of the commercial workflow I ever encountered in 40 years of commercial work. Many of Adobe's newer tools have been strategically designed to automate processes for the average consumer and mostly bloat the apps with unnecessary automation. As someone with many years in and around advertising, my suggestion is not to get sucked in by shiny objects. Affinity is a powerhouse and getting better with every update.

Thank you.

As you can see from the attached video, when I try to paint on the existing layer mask, AF creates a new pixel layer and applies the paint there. I am trying to add black to my existing layer mask and can't do it now. Has a setting changed or is this an update bug? It's impossible to work like this Recording #19.mp4

Thank you for the update. The add/reset function was a very good hack for non-editable shapes. I hope the intention is to re-enable that option again soon or, better yet, add a designated "Reset Bounding Box" function.

I can no longer reset my curves bounding box by clicking the Add button. Has anyone else encountered this and solved the problem? I'm in Designer version 2.2.1. Thank you Reset Bounding Box Not Working.mp4

Thank you for the response. It worked.
