Hopefully someone will listen and put this on the next update.

I agree it's a pain in the backside that when I want to export it it doesn't go to the folder I have loaded it from. I am using Windows 10 by the way. Most of the other Image programs I use will go back to the location that I loaded it from. Afinity Photo V1 and V2 doesn't even go back to the last directory/folder I last used when I start up. Will no one at Serf listen to what users really want in their updates.

Thanks, I made a preset but that made no difference. Look like I will have to set it up every time I open Affinity. Bit of a pain.

Yes this works as long as I have Affinity open, but as soon as I shut it down and reopen it doesn't work again. I doesn't seem to save the settings. Each time I have to go to Grid and Snapping and redo it again. Why does it not automatically save the setttings?

Just bought V2 Affinity Photo and It will no longer Show Grid either using the Menu or the Shortcut key. Very disappointed.

Thanks for the info, it now works. When I checked the Help in Affinity Photo it doesn't mention that it needs to be in Move View. Maybe they need to amend the intructions.

This is a screenshot of the problem. In the Arrange Menu the Flip etc are greyed out even though the Layer is selected.

I am having the same problem. The Arrange menu options for Flipping a layer etc are all greyed out. I am using Affinity 10.5.1342

I enclose two screen grabs of the image in DPP4 and also in Affinity Photo. My camera was a Canon RP with EF 24-105mm f4 lens. As you will see the two focus points do not correspond.

Why does the Focus/Show Autofocus Regions not correspond to the right position? I have checked my focus point in Canons Digital Photo Professional V4 and it's way out on Affinity Photo. What is the point putting it on the program if it isn't correct! Surely this is a problem with the program which needs addressing in the next upgrade!

Looks like I've figured it out why it won't work. When you click on the layer you want to flip you first have to click on the move arrow in the toolbar. Then Arrange>Flip Horizontal (or Vertical) then it works. Shame the instructions in the Help Menu are not precise enough to tell you this. Affinity Photo would be a great program if it consistently worked correctly. I have had to reload it several times to sort out various problems that have occurred.

Cannot use the flip tool to flip a layer as it is always greyed out even when I have a layer selected. Using Windows 10. I have restarted the program several times but it still doesn't work. I also tried other images and the same problem occurs.

Yes that is one of the main problems with the histogram in the Levels Adjustment. I just go away and make a cup of coffee and then by the time I get back it has appeared. It was working fine after a Windows upgrade, but it has reoccurred again on a couple of occasions. This usually happens after I make a levels adjustment. If I go back into that levels adjustment the histogram sometimes doesn't appear at all. The solution I have found is to save the file and close it and then reopen it and then it works OK (bit of a pain). I am using the default colour space SRGB in Affinity. It seems to be an intermittent fault which no one can pin down (c'es la vie).

Thanks that's sorted it out.

I was not using Tiny Take when It happened and didn't have it open. I was just using Affinity Photo at the time. I only use Tiny Take to try and demonstrate what was happening and that it was in the preferences menu. I have tried Affinity Photo again without anything else open and it still doesn't work.
