Hi, I apologize for bringing this subject again, but this has been a lingering issue. With approximately 400 million people who write from right-to-left in the world, the lack of RTL support is mostly excluding them from using Affinity's amazing products. (I mean, Publisher is completely useless for all RTL countries) What's funny, is that I found that you can write in RTL languages in Affinity Photo and get your text appear in reverse, but if you print it then it would print correctly. Huh?! It seems like RTL support is already half baked, so why not take the extra step and finish it up? Curious to hear everyone's opinion on that and perhaps some clues as for the timeline to integrating it into Affinity's products. (as from my perspective, this has grown to be a significant differentiator between Adobe's suite and Affinity's). Thanks, -- TR

Furthermore, when having an Image layer and using the Color Picker tool and clicking outside the image area, the image completely disappears. Again, unexpected behavior. (I can provide a video if you're interested)

Hi, From what I can tell, it behaves completely differently if the layer is of type Image or Pixel (rasterized) in a very unexpected behavior. Furthermore, no selection was defined and yet the entire image was still modified (again, unexpected behavior for a "Apply To Selection" checkbox) by applying some visual algorithm I have no obvious control over. Out of curiosity, why is it checked by default? I'm asking because that's a counter-intuitive behavior. One final thing I noticed, if you have an Image layer and you modify the Secondary Color, it'll cause the entire image to undergo such color shift too. Again, it's unintuitive as to why this would happen, or how is the effect controlled. Thanks, TR

Hi, When I paste an image into Affinity Photo, then use the color picker (which should be a passive tool, meaning, it shouldn't affect the current image in any way) - it completely changes the color tone of the entire image, depending on what color I click on. What's worse, when I click outside the image boundaries, the image disappears altogether. Not sure why this is happening or how to fix it. All I want is to sample the color under the picker. Here's a quick video demonstrating the problem. Thanks, TR

Hi Chris, Thank you for your suggestion. It indeed solved the issue! This was previously set to "Auto" - wouldn't it make sense for "Auto" to select the higher quality if the host machine is powerful enough? (btw, I'm running on an 8 core AMD Ryzen 7 at 4Ghz) Thanks! -- TR

Hi, I'm running Affinity Photo 1.10.1 on Windows 10 x64, with 64GB RAM and nVidia GTX 1080 video card (with the latest nVidia Studio drivers) on a 4K monitor. And I've noticed recently an odd problem that occurs only in specific images with repeating patterns in them. When hovering (just hovering, not clicking or doing anything) with the Brush tool (although this may occur with other tools too, but I didn't tests these) causes the image underneath to change momentarily, then revert back. This happens with every movement of the mouse over these regions of the image. See attached video for an example. I have also attached the image I used in the video. These artifacts are distracting & annoying - and don't occur on "natural" images, only such that exhibit some repeating patterns. I'd really appreciate it if this can be fixed in a future release. Thanks! -- TR affinity-photo-issue.mov

Hi, Thank you for your helpful suggestions. I started by following the items on the list. I have Capture One installed (although no crashes were occurring, I've removed the Explorer integration) though nothing had changed. Then looked at the nVidia "Optimize for Compute", but I didn't see that option is my list. Finally I reached the Sonic section. I noticed that I have both "Sonic Studio" and "Sonic Radar" installed, although I don't recall ever installing them. Probably came as part of some driver update installation (as I do have an Asus motherboard). I have uninstalled both and voilla! Problem resolved. Thank you so much! I couldn't have done it without you! Thanks, --TR

Hi, I'm running on the latest Windows 10 with 64GB ram and nVidia GTX 1080 card (latest studio drivers - 471.41) and encountered some weird UI glitches in Affinity Photo, see this video They started since I installed the 1.10 beta, but oddly it affected the 1.9.2 installation as well. Uninstalling the 1.10 beta didn't help, the 1.9.2 kept exhibiting the same problems. Resetting the user settings back to factory settings for 1.9.2 didn't help either. Uninstalling and reinstalling 1.9.2 didn't solve the problem either. Uninstalling and re-installing the nVidia drivers didn't solve it either. No other application I have experienced such screen corruption and artifacts. And I use Blender & DaVinci Resolve which heavily utilize the video card. Trying to disable graphics acceleration and OpenCL in Affinity Photo didn't solve it either. I should note that Affinity Designer/Publisher (for whom I didn't install the beta) are working just fine. It strikes me that the beta has installed some shared resource (one that survived past uninstallation) that broke both installations in some persistent manner. I'd appreciate any suggestions and ideas as to how to solve this, as these glitches make it impossible to use the software. Thanks, Tzvi glitches.mov
