  1. Hello, When doing soft proof in Affinity photo, the out-of-gamut check should highlight the out-of-gamut pixels in gray (as per documentation and as one finds it for 8 and 16-bit editing). If the image is edited in 32-bits, the "highlighting" isn't gray but black, i.e. out-of-gamut pixels are displayed as black. I recommend fixing this. Björn
  2. Hi, In Affinity Photo v2.0.0 on macOS and Windows, I cannot call presets in the Procedural Texture filter. The list of presets is empty. If I open the "Manage Presets..." editor, presets are listed however. Björn
  3. As it appears to me, customer support has checked out. Therefore, if any user has the same issue, it seems that there's a bug in macOS https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7411978?answerId=29674571022#29674571022
  4. Hello @stokerg, Do you have any news on the issue? I have to say that this inconsistency of luminance representation renders Affinity unusable on macOS for the desired purpose as the quality of the images is significantly different on the systems. Björn
  5. Hi @stokerg, I am curious to learn what your expert is going to find out. Was he at least able to replicate the issue? Björn
  6. Hello @stokerg, I've uploaded a sample file (tif, 32bit floating point - behaviour remains the same if I'd convert to 16 bit) + comparison screenshots on the different platforms and monitors for this very file. Let me know how it goes.
  7. Hello, I'm not sure, if my inquiry is placed correctly here but let me try. I'm doing astrophotography and usually any misses in the correct black point are becoming quickly obvious. I have two computers. System A is a desktop computer with Windows 11. Monitor is color calibrated. I'm doing some image editing in PixInsight and then switch to Affinity Photo. Images are 32-bit floating point tiff. System B is a macbook Pro with external Monitor (the same device as for system A) both displays color calibrated with the same tool (Spyder X Pro). Following problem. On System A, the images in PixInsight (left) and Affinity Photo (32bit with ICC Color Transform enabled) appear absolutely identical: On macos, the images look different (Affinity left, PixInsight right). The background has much more contrast. The settings for both applications on both systems are identical! If I export the image from Affinity on macos and watch it with the preview application, it appears like in Affinity Photo. Obviously, the blackpoint on macos looks darker. Somehow, there is something wrong. I should say that the black point for PixInsight remains constant across systems, while for Affinity it changes. To me, it seems that something is flawed on the macOS side. Has anyone noted the same issue? My impression is that the color management on macOS has an issue and Affinity relies on it. If I can provide further info, please let me know. As far as I can say: working with Affinity on macOS is a no-go for this case as for this type of photography, the background becomes way too noisy. I need to work on the Windows machine to achieve consistent results between different applications. Björn
  8. Hi, Please add the support of loading 32bit (floating point) grayscale TIFFs. Currently, when I load such a file, it's converted to 16bit Grayscale/D50 and loosing precision. I haven't found another way of loading this file without loss of information. Thanks! Björn
  9. Hi @Dan C, Thanks for the reply! I purchased Affinity for Mac and Windows through the Serif online store. Björn
  10. Hi, Does the function to stack astrophotography images consumer temporary disk space? How much is this usually (for other application with similar functions this is usually roughly the same amount of light frame data) and where is this temporary data stored? Björn
  11. Hi, In Version 1.9.1 on macOS, the color picker in the HSL adjustment layer isn't working. I'm selecting the blue tone and use the color picker and select a red pixel in the image. The color of the selected colour changes and also in the color ring, the right tone is selected. However, if I am changing the saturation, it affects the blue color in the image. This behavior is consistent for all six color buttons. See attachment for example. Notice: it is RGB32 HDR! Björn Bildschirmvideo aufnehmen 2021-03-26 um 12.58.38.mov
  12. Hi, Actually, I was making a little bit of progress on that. I didn't report back as I had other posts ongoing in the forum and none of them had seen any reply and hence my impression was and is that with the forum I'm not making any progress on Affinity. To the topic. It appears to me that it can only detect stars if they have sufficient intensity and contrast. I had images captures with a 12-Bit camera and hence the maximum intensity is just 1/16th of a scaled imaged. In my case, it always helped to stretch the image through changing the white point and align the stretched layer. After aligning, I removed the levels adjustment and continued to edit the image/aligned layers as usual. Maybe this might be helpful in your case as well!? Best and clear skies! Björn
  13. Hi! There is another thread going on, where someone has crashes when stacking. I'm also observing crashes sometimes. I've added a post to mentioned thread. Would be helpful if someone could come back to the issue as I haven't seen any responses or progress on these threads. Björn
