@walt.farrell thanks for your reply. Unfortunately I can’t post the picture in question to explain the task as I’m away from my desktop machine. In short, I have a portrait with an “atmospheric” background. I changed the aspect ratio of the canvas from 4:3 to 16:9. Now I need to fill this empty area I created with this background. Fill with inpaint failed as it always clones the person’s face as well.

Dear all, I need to clone from a static source point with the clone tool in photo. In other words I want the source point to remain fixed where it was originally set instead of following the clone tools movement with a fixed distance while hovering over the target area. From what I understood from the docs, this behavior can be achieved by unchecking the “aligned” checkbox but this doesn’t work for me (actually checking or unchecking the box doesn’t seem to change the tools behavior at all. Bug or feature or my fault - don’t know). Is that possible? Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Hi all, I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around saving for web with export persona. I need to save for web in different sizes and for different screen resolutions. My filenames have to follow this naming conventions: myfile@2x.jpg myfile.jpg myfile_medium.jpg myfile_medium@2x.jpg etc. How can I achieve this? I know I can choose from presets like 2x in the slices panel in export persona. However, choosing 2x for example doubles the pixel size (in other words: interpolates the image) which is not what I want. I tried various othe

File management:What are you using?
totoff replied to peterD's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (Mac and Windows)
Photo Mechanic is great but it want´t work together with images saved as .afphoto for the reasons described above. No DAM on the market will — and that´s the No. 1 issue with Affinity Photo for pro users imho. -
File management:What are you using?
totoff replied to peterD's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (Mac and Windows)
You wan't find. The proprietary file format is the issue. This either needs to be addressed by Serif or a "native" DAM developed by Serif is required. No DAM on the market will overcome the boundaries build into the file format. -
File management:What are you using?

Hi all, I've followed this thread and the other ones about DAM carefully, but a very simple question I feel isn't answered: how do you catalogue and manage images with the proprietary .afphoto file format? As far as I see, .afphoto files neither support metadata, nor sidecar files nor thumbnails bigger than low, low, low resolution finder thumbnails. So how do you rate pictures, how to you tag them with keywords, how do you sort them in collections (aka smart searches), how do you get a preview that let you do a quick look and rating? None of this seems possible with .a -

Hello forum, I'm running AP 1.6.6 from the App Store on a MPB with Mac OS X 10.13.3. I have the Google Nik Collection installed on my machine and enabled it as a plugin for AP. Other image editors on my machine are Photoshop CS 6 and Graphic Converter 10. This setup worked fine for more than a year until today when I tried to open Settings -> Photoshop Plugins under AP settings panel. AP crashed immediately and does so again and again whenever I try to access the settings panel. So far I have done the following steps to solve the problem: uni

Hi all, I bought AF Photo when it was launched to the market but quickly stopped using it for two reasons: huge, huge, huge file sizes and and no support for IPTC metadata. However, I came back recently wondering if this issues are sorted out in the meantime. Unfortunately I found myself disappointed again. I've read this thread carefully and decided to compare AF Photo against Photoshop CS 6. I made my tests with the following parameters: .CR2 Raw file with 3744 × 5616 pixels straight out of the camera "save history" feature turned of no edits at all,

Same here, no matter what I adjust. See also: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/11084-ap-fuji-raf/ Considering my overall experience about 10 days after purchase I would say AP is still in beta. Great potential but the roll out to the market came to early (e.g. no rotation tool in developer, macro persona has been removed, poor raw conversion and so on ...)

AdobeRGB conversion
totoff replied to totoff's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (Mac and Windows)
Thanks Jim for clarifying. However, the same alert appears upon opening JPGs with Adobe RGB assigned. AP is set accordingly. -
AdobeRGB conversion
totoff replied to totoff's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (Mac and Windows)
No, it does not. All fine. I've checked again with several files (.CR2, .RAF, JPG) with Adobe RGB assigned (checked twice with Finder info and Photoshop) - they all trigger the notification. Did you assign the RGB profile in AF or in another app? -

Paul, thanks for your reply. I'm currently not at my Mac. Will give this a try this afternoon GMT.
