Lanczos is a resampler algorithm, not an extra plug-in. You can change Bilinear to Lanczos by clicking on the Resampler menu One thing I've noticed in your screenshot is the brightness and saturation differences between what I'm presuming is a jpg saved in PS and the other in AP. Double check that your colour format and profile of your master file is in RGB8 and sRGB when exporting. If you click on More, you also get other options. I usually stick to these values for the web but vary the quality depending on where I'm uploading the final image to. You may also opt to drop the metadata as that usually contains exif and IPTC info.

If you outsource the colour editing to a colourist, they should be able to get the look you're after. Broadcast gamut is similar to srgb but the black and white levels are different. Also, creating LUT from Affinity Photo is not necessarily going to get you a simple "apply a lut and call it a day" editing for video. Also are you shooting the video in 8/10/12/14/16 bit? Ideally, do what you're doing now to get reference shots, export it as srgb TIFF (8 or 16 bit that is closest to the bits you're shooting the video in) and colour match it in post when you've shot the video in your NLE/Colour grading software. Luts are great for a reference point but it's still more ideal to build your own. If you've built the look in Affinity using adjustment layers, it should be relatively quick to translate the edits in the Colour Grading software.

Wacom clicks don't work on macro panel
livetheshot replied to livetheshot's topic in V1 Bugs found on macOS
Yes it does and it's a workaround. This is currently the quickest way around for me as I need to edit and retouch a lot of photos this week for work.- 13 replies

Wacom clicks don't work on macro panel
livetheshot replied to livetheshot's topic in V1 Bugs found on macOS
Just discovered a workaround! It's not perfect and it'd be great for the single tap to work. I played around with the wacom tablet settings and under the advanced menu, when I switched to click and tap, the macro worked!- 13 replies

Hi, Wacom taps or clicks don't work on the macros panel. They work for everything else. I've uploaded a video to show the issue. I can use my Intuos Pro with all the usual panels however when it comes to clicking on a macro, nothing happens and I need to resort to using my mouse. Thanks, Wayne no-wacom-with-captions.mp4.mov

The link you provided is for the beta version from last year. I just did a test in Publisher and there was some increase in the filesize as mentioned in the post. However, a few Kb is very different when working with filesizes in Photo that can push in excess of 1GB :) Even if file linking meant the afphoto filesize varied a few MB, I'd see that as a huge improvement :)

Hi, I'd like to make a request to link the file rather than embedding the file when we use the Place Image tool in Affinity Photo. The function exists in Publisher and it'd be great if this could be implemented in Affinity Photo too. When working with composites, there are times when some originals still need to be editable. When we embed the original, it makes the filesize very bloated. A smaller file size would make it more efficient to work with composites so it'd be much appreciated please Thanks

Toggling through tools not working as expected
livetheshot replied to quinnballard's topic in V1 Bugs found on macOS
I couldn't get my express keys to toggle back to the inpainting brush tool on my Wacom tablet. Solved it by setting up a new keyboard shortcut for the inpainting brush tool -
Toggling through tools not working as expected
livetheshot replied to quinnballard's topic in V1 Bugs found on macOS
I'm also experiencing this issue with cycling with the shortcut key J. I've setup an express key on my Wacom Intuos Pro to cycle through Js to get to the inpainting tool but it no longer works. When I manually cycle through J, the clarity adjustment dialogue box pops up too. -

@hannah I can't give you more than one thanks. This has been bugging me for a long time that it didn't occur to me to look under keyboard shortcuts

(1.6.6 - GM) - Refine Edges issues
livetheshot replied to livetheshot's topic in [ARCHIVE] Photo beta on macOS threads
Those weird blobs appeared when I adjusted the border setting. I re-did the mask again today and it looks like there's a problem when selecting black, white and transparent matte options, as well as setting the output to new layer with mask. If you set the output to new layer with mask and view the new layer without the mask, you will see those white blobs along with the colour of the nearest neighbouring pixels. I found a workaround for it today by only using overlay and black&white for matte and selecting the output to mask only (and crossing my fingers when I pressed OK). -
(1.6.6 - GM) - Refine Edges issues
livetheshot replied to livetheshot's topic in [ARCHIVE] Photo beta on macOS threads
Is there an ETA for fixing the issue with refine edges or at least a workaround? The issue has been around for over a year. Masking is pretty important for composite image making and it's a major pain point for areas such as hair and really fine materials. It's pretty disappointing since the video tutorials that have been put out don't show this behaviour at all. Thanks @MEB. -
Hi, There's still an issue with the refined edges function. When saving the output of the refined mask to New Layer with Mask, it adds a blur to it. When I output to only a mask, the output is finally the same as the preview image. Please see the attached screenshot. Also, when using the matte brush, the selection is really soft even though I've set the Smooth and Feather options to 0. Please take a look at the attached video. refine-mask.mov

Currently we have to click on the new guide button, double click on the automatic guide value and set a new value. It would be great if we can generate the guides according to values that's been copied from a text file. Or at the very least, if we duplicate the artboard and re-adjust the new artboard's dimensions, the guidelines are moved according to the new dimensions. This helps greatly for guides created in % values rather than pixels.

Awesome work! Thanks for not letting up on the pedal after the 1.5 launch. Just a couple of things that are still around from what I've reported before: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/21204-mesh-still-shows-in-liquify-persona/ https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/31041-frequency-separation-macro/ The first one is just an annoyance. The second one though would be a great help for those who use FS frequently.
-
When you create a Macro for Frequency separation, the preview for the radius doesn't work. Regardless of whatever value is selected, there's no way to see the effect. Also, it looks like the range differs from using FS manually. When I manually use it, setting the radius to 3px is adequate in some cases. When I use the same setting in the macro, it barely affects the Low Freq layer.

Downloading the update now. Great job everyone!

Wooo great work! Thanks for staying on point with the feedback from your user base. Wayyy better than another company who shall not be named. Let's just say for a company that touts pro software, their support and time spent for feedback is horrendously bad. Thanks for the early Christmas gift Affinity!

Affinity Photo Beta (1.5.0 - RC4)
livetheshot replied to Andy Somerfield's topic in [ARCHIVE] Photo beta on macOS threads
Something to note for batch processing. I have multiple HDDs in my mac and when I clicked on Authorize, I tried to select the location of where the original file was located (HDD3). To Authorize, HDD1 needs to be selected. The image will be stored in the correct location as it says on the label. -
Found a Batch processing bug. Add the files as normal. Tick same location as source. Untick Save as AFPhoto. Tick Save as Tiff and leave dimensions as blank. Don't select a Macro. Untick Parallel Processing. Click Go. It's gone and processed all the files but didn't write it into the source directory. In fact, it didn't write anything at all.
