Thanks MEB. Downloading now

Is there a mirror link for this beta such as Dropbox? I've been trying to download the file for the past half hour on a fibre connection and it keeps dying.

The video was a rather brief and not very detailed in explaining Blend Options. Here's a video by the Affinity guys explaining Blend Ranges -

Will this be fixed for Photo 1.5? It's pretty cheeky having a button there to tease us :)

How do I add a brush effect to a curve? I've clicked on the brush option under stroke but it just keeps giving me a solid curve line. Thanks.

Cheers Andy! Will give it another whirl.

Just to add on to this issue, now I can't even create any new macros at all because the program keeps crashing and closing whenever I try to.

I created a macro to add some colour grading using levels, add camera filter with a mask created using detect edges and finished with a USM live filter (lighten blend mode). The entire program crashed and didn't want to re-open the same file. I selected the option to start the program fresh and decided to test the batch processing using the macro that I created above. Before I could click process, the entire program crashed again. Attached is a zip file of the logs. log.zip

I've been unsuccessful at replicating the issue. Though I did do a batch job the other day with 56 images with parallel processing and it was on the verge of crashing as I had the beachball appear around file #40. Perhaps close this issue and if it appears again, I'll raise it in the bugs forum.

When you export under Live Projection view, it only exports as the view and not the full 360 pano. To replicate: - Edit Live Projection - Export JPG

I'll give it another go next week to see if I can replicate the crash. I've been using it for production use but only without parallel processing.

The images are VR ready for publishing and viewing on a website. Are you referring to 3D conversion or for Affinity to generate the HTML code to make the 360 image viewable similar to Street View on Google Maps?

I started using the batch job to convert 70 afphoto files to JPGs. The first time, I had parallel processing checked and it crashed after working through 20 or so files. The whole system automatically rebooted itself. I tried again and this time unchecked parallel processing so it would work through one file at a time. I tracked the resource usage in activity monitor. It didn't crash, thankfully, however I'm wondering if this is normal behaviour for the batch job to use as many resources as attached. I'm running a Mac Pro 4,1 8 core 2.26 GHz with 64Gb RAM and 2Gb GPU. Thanks!

Thanks for implementing the shortcut for 360 degree live projection! I missed the chance to test it during Beta 3. It works a treat.

This video tutorial about how it works in Affinity Photo might help https://vimeo.com/130959696

Thanks Callum. I've been using the beta since it came out. Unfortunately I'm exporting afphoto files which the beta doesn't support yet with batch processing :)

Hi, Is there a way to set which preset is the default under Export Options in the Export Persona? Having to reselect my preset for each image gets tedious when I'm exporting over 50 images. I know there's a batch processing option coming in 1.5 but is there a workaround in the meantime? Thanks!

batch processing is coming in 1.5. It's currently available in the 1.5 beta. See this thread.

Cheers Alfred!

Thanks Andy!

Let me rephrase, 72 dpi for web optimised images ;)

Hi, Will the final release allow us to select AFPhoto files to add to the batch jobs? Also, is there a way to adjust the dpi in the batch job? This would be really handy if we want to create a 72 dpi version for screen display only. Thanks!

So for those of us who are inverterbrate avoidant, is there a version of this video? :) (not being facetious)

As a suggestion by one of the mods about my post, can we please have a shortcut or someway to streamline the 360 view editing process? When you're in 360 pan view and switch to another tool, then switch back to pan, you have to re-click the 360 view. It's one click but when you have to do it multiple times, it becomes additional clicks that aren't needed. A shortcut would be great!

Under the fill menu, change the option to "greyness" in the custom colour dropdown. You can set the grey level to 50.
