Affinity 2 is crashing after loading new 2.0.4 version
RichardMH replied to Al Loan's topic in Photo 2 Bugs found on Windows
It will help them if you can find a crash report -
Affinity Photo 2.0.4 crashes more than AP V1
RichardMH replied to GreenSWOhio's topic in Photo 2 Bugs found on Windows
A common cause of instability is related to the GPU. Are your drivers up to date? Try turning off hardware acceleration Edit->Preferences->Performance. I find V2 to be much more stable than V1. -
Topaz DeNoise DNG file not recognised
RichardMH replied to JeffGreen's topic in Photo 2 Bugs found on Windows
I've been in touch with Topaz support and they say its a known problem with 3.7.0 that they hope to have fixed in 3.7.1. They suggest using tiffs. For me its not a problem with Photo AI. -
Topaz DeNoise DNG file not recognised
RichardMH replied to JeffGreen's topic in Photo 2 Bugs found on Windows
I still have this problem. Topaz haven't updated De Noise AI for some time. DxO Photolab and 3D LUT Creator don't like them either so I don't think its a APh problem. Do you want a file sent to the above link? -
Plugin DXO Nik collection 1.2.12pl not fully working
RichardMH replied to TonyG55's topic in Photo 2 Bugs found on Windows
What Walt Farrell said. If I send an image as an embedded or linked layer the Nik plug ins are greyed out until I rasterize the layer. Its OK if I send a pixel layer. -
Developing loses the settings
RichardMH replied to jelast's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
It's a known problem. Do you have a few images open? -
Photo is much more a Photoshop replacement than Lightroom. And as you've noted it's highlight recovery is not good. I use another app for the raw conversion. Xnview is popular to manage images and can be set up to send them to Photo. I use FastRawViewer to cull images. And I run the Topaz and Nik plugins from Photo.

magic brush in affinity photo 2
RichardMH replied to MeHigher's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
If you literally mean you can't find it, View->Customise Tools shows all the tools and you can drag it to the tool bar. Otherwise a screen shot of what you are seeing would help. -
Toggle Background Grey Colour
RichardMH replied to mathz's topic in Feedback for the Affinity V2 Suite of Products
Edit->Preferences->User Interface->Background Grey Level should do what you want. -
Plugin DXO Nik collection 1.2.12pl not fully working
RichardMH replied to TonyG55's topic in Photo 2 Bugs found on Windows
They have sales from time to time. Got mine at the black friday sales. They also throw in an older version of photolab essentials which is a good raw convertor and has some DAM functionality. -
Plugin DXO Nik collection 1.2.12pl not fully working
RichardMH replied to TonyG55's topic in Photo 2 Bugs found on Windows
I wonder if this is due to you running an older version of Nik. Nik collection 5 is OK for me. Also there is a fairly convoluted procedure for the Nik plugins. You need a custom plug in folder. You must have set it up for V1 so maybe you are pointing Photo 2 at the wrong directories. I have mine on my D drive. The sub directories contain the plugins. https://support.dxo.com/hc/en-us/articles/5091760579869-How-do-I-install-Nik-Collection-for-use-with-Affinity-Photo- -
Other things to try. In Windows, Settings->System->Display->Graphics, make sure Photo.exe etc is set to high performance. In Windows Settings->Apps->Installed Apps->Affinity Photo 2 (etc) Advanced Options, scroll down to Reset and try Repair. Then if that doesn't work, maybe Reset (after saving assets etc)

Develop Persona not developing on first images
RichardMH replied to Aileen Russell's topic in Photo 2 Bugs found on Windows
Also confirm this. Windows 11. First image lost adjustments when several loaded. The rest were OK. -
noob baffled by grid
RichardMH replied to jimh12345's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Rule of thirds grid is also in the crop tool. -
Uninstalling Affinity Photo
RichardMH replied to Stolzy's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Have you tried clearing user data? Hold control when you start it up (I think a mac is the same as windows for this) . Never know, you might get lucky. Easier than uninstalling and re installing. -
Changing background colour
RichardMH replied to Samstu's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Its not that hard a mask with the Selection brush then Refine. I suggest you try HSL and use the color picker to select the blue and desaturate it a bit. Then mask that as there's bits of blue on the sheep. -
How to change color picker in V2
RichardMH replied to norbinw's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Is this still an issue? Might need some more details to understand what you are doing. A video would be good, or at least a few screen shots. Are you on Windows?
