Hi!
I wan't to suggest a feature for the Curves adjustment tool.
Long story short I've started to shoot color film photography and use affinity to convert the negative film into positive ones for then further process, but in the guide i'm following for converting negatives, the guy uses Photoshop. you drag the diffrent RGB channels before they start clipping, but in affinity its hard to know/see when it starts clipping.. you can eyeball it but you wont get the best results. I plan on doing this process with my film for finer control over the negative converstion alot.. So this little detail to the curves tool would help a ton!!
so my suggestion is to add a clip warning in the curves tool ( in RGB mode, clipping for the Master, red, green, and blue channels), much like the clip warning holding down alt in the levels tool

(here is the guide im following if anyone is curious, great one! https://www.alexburkephoto.com/blog/2019/10/16/manual-inversion-of-color-negative-film )

Thanks for pointing it out! but first of its destructive, would have to make a merge of all layers and use that, but then if im unhappy with it I cant tweak it without having to redo it.. And tbh, that yellow is hard to spot, but maybe there is a setting to change the clipping tone color? Anyhow I still thin it would be a neat thing to see clipping in the curve adjustment in photo persona, If you can come up with another workaround with the curve tool that would be much apprichiated 😎

We will likely be releasing 1.9.2 betas soon so I'd keep downloading them to see what OpenCL improvements come. For now though, keep OpenCL disabled in retail - you won't lose anything (same performance as 1.8.5), you just aren't currently gaining the speed improvements that it can offer.

@Chris B, that's a bit weird now, I disabled the HW acceleration and now it reacts instantly! Did I misunderstand something with this feature? Or should I try a few later releases to switch back again?
 
Thanks anyway, this saves my Affinity Live

I tried to start with CTRL holding down, deleted the default settings that were ticked but still the same result. I have HW acceleration enabled. My machine specs are:
Windows 10 Pro (Build 19042), latest updates Alienware 15R3 Alienware AW3420DW on DisplayPort Intel CPU i7-7700HQ@2.8GHz 32GB RAM NVIDIA GeForce GTX1070 and Intel HD Graphics 630 Since this worked so far, and also I don't have this issue when using another application, I strongly believe this has something to do with Affinity Photo App... Any other hints??

Well I'm using an older AMD card on my workhorse but I do have an Nvidia 3080 on my personal machine so I can give it a go soon. I can definitely see we're onto something so I will happily investigate  

I do have AMD RX 5000 series graphics card, sucks to be me 😪 I hope AMD will fix it in thier drivers updates! 😃 because I do love hardware acceleration! makes life a tidy bit smoother 😉

I had been experiencing pretty much *all of those bugs* and it was quite discouraging : APu had slowed to a crawl, alignment and snapping issues, inline & pinned media moving about strangely, text not obeying wrap settings, and so on.
Thanks a lot for the fixes ! just in time for a deadline this afternoon.

hmmmm wait it crashes on saving now. Will report.

It is going to get added in 1.9 according to the devs, so we just have to wait for the Beta.

+1 for DDS support! 
would love too use Affinity to make skins for games!
