Topaz Studio 2
applewoodj replied to ColinG's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
I can also access Topaz studio 2 and use a few of the controls (some don't seem to work), but all the presets are empty. If I open it as a standalone, all the presets are there. -
AP 1.8 missing from app store
applewoodj replied to TomM1's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Didn't see any updates either. Ended up going to the purchased tab in the app store, found both affinity photo and designer, and they both had install buttons instead of open. Hit the install button and the new version installed. -
AP and topaz studio 2
applewoodj replied to blacknight's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Probably installed it wrong, but the plugin version has no looks in the add look drawer. The stand alone has many. -
Curves adjustment reacting in reverse
applewoodj replied to applewoodj's topic in V1 Bugs found on macOS
Ahhhhh, mystery solved! Thanks Paul. I always work in RGB in photo, but was using publisher in cymk. I never realized there was a difference. Always good to know something new! Thanks again. -
Not sure if this is a bug, but using curves in publisher and the other personas are opposite of how they work in the individual photo and designer apps. In the apps, if I pull down the curve, the image darkens. In publisher and the personas, pulling the curve down makes the image lighter. Perhaps it is some setting that I'm missing on my system, a bug, or just the way things work. I checked this topic on the board, but couldn't find one, so apologies if this has already been addressed.

While there may be a better way of doing this, take the box tool and create a box to cover the part of the photo you want. (basically, where you want the photo to fade). Make sure the box is black. (you can do the same thing with an oval). Drag the box layer down over the photo layer until you see a vertical blue line. (not the horizontal one). Go to effects and crank up the gaussian blur. you should now have the effect you're looking for.

nik collection, affinity 1.7.0
applewoodj replied to steverdezines's topic in [ARCHIVE] Photo beta on macOS threads
Looks like the old google NIK is working with the newest beta! No more updating fonts! -
Anthropics and Topaz Studio cause photo to immediately crash upon launch. Filter Forge opens, but crashes after applying. All three worked without problems on all previous beta versions.

Guides not working
applewoodj replied to Raymondo's topic in [ARCHIVE] Publisher beta on macOS threads
Do you have "show rulers" turned on?
