    Thank you. I will try Cmd C of course. I've been saving to Channels till now, and only today someone asked a question that reminded me of this old issue. And I had totally forgotten to tap with two fingers on my trackpad for a right click 🙂

    When I highlight the mask, and Ctrl click, the menu pops up. But it immediate highlights the layer above too. So if I want to copy the mask, I end up copying both, pixel layer and mask. No way to isolate and copy just the mask for example. I'm using to do save to channels but it's easier if I could just copy the mask when needed as people using Windows AP seem to be able to do.

    I reported this back in 2018. I was told that they already had it logged as a bug for the engineers to fix. 3 years have passed. I still don't seem to be able to use Ctrl click on a mask in Affinity Photo for MacOS (using Monterey now). I check and uncheck Locked child just in case, but still it doesn't work. Was it fixed and I just don't know how to work with it? Anyone with a Mac who would tell me please? Thanks

    I'll uncheck All Layers as a temp solution then. Many thanks for your help, Dan.

    Thanks, Dan, maybe I don't understand your instructions. In both screen shots the background layer was selected even when it doesn't show on my screen shot; I just happened to move my cursor (see attached highlighted layer). I'm attaching a screen capture, which is probably better to demonstrate my issue, which happens regardless of the photo/project I'm working on. 1_TJ_.mp4 2_TJ_.mp4

    Sure. 1. Make Selection with Selection Brush Tool. 2. Click on Refine on context tool bar. 3. On Preview, defaulting to Overlay, change to white, black, black and white, all work. 4. Change Preview to Transparent, doesn't work. I see the full picture with the selection. See screen shots. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks

    June thread is specific about Quick Mask not being able to use neither black, black and white, or transparent background, just red. Mine is regarding Refine and inability to use Transparent only. MacOS 11.6, 15" MBP 2018, AP 1.10.1

    What previous thread? The thread of June 2021? How do I know it is still a bug? Version 10.0.1 is newer than that, isn't it?
  9. Silvia
    Although this was reported earlier this year as a bug, I still don't see a fix in version 10.1.1 (using Big Sur). Is it just me, or a solution is still in the works? Thanks EDIT. The report of June mentioned was regarding Quick mask, which I mistakenly quoted above. The missing transparent background I'm referring to is with selections and Refine, where I can select, white, black and white, black, but not transparent.

    Just a clarification, for the benefit of other members. Topaz plug-ins do not work on the Apple Store version of Affinity Photo, only on the version purchased from Serif Store, something to do with sandbox restrictions on the App Store. Unfortunately, when we purchase at the Apple Store, there is no indication that the app has less capabilities than purchasing directly from Serif. Cheers, Silvia
  11. Silvia
    Yup, same experience here.
  12. Silvia
    Um, interesting. I downloaded from the App Store too but don't have any issues with masking, so far (fingers crossed). I'm guessing you can remove the App, and reload your macros, assets, brushers, styles, etc. which I assume you have saved and kept in your hard drive. But yes, that's a real pain. I would also want to get a product key and be able to install the Serif store version, but for other reasons, not being able to use Topaz plug-ins with the sandboxed version we get in the App Store.

    Thanks, John, this much I had understood long ago; my claim is that Serif knows about it and doesn’t warn about the lack of some functionality when purchased in the app store.

    I read and read online complaints, and it seems to me that we are all buying Affinity Photo from the Apple App Store not know that the version is different than the version Serif sells on its website. This isn't right. How are we to know that we are buying a somewhat stripped down version of the app? I don't understand the terminology but something related to sandboxing (?) by the App Store. Is there a way around this? Would Serif consider replacing one version with the other or at the very least adding a big warning to their ads so that we know what the heck we're spending money on? Thanks

    Studio 2 as well as Sharpen AI open but don't do much or anything. With Studio 2, you have access to filters but not looks. Sharpen AI doesn't do anything after opening. Denoise AI shows an error message Denoise AI model is missing or corrupted as shown in screen shot below. I had a long talk with Topaz Support. Nothing they can do as they don't support Photo. It's a real shame that Serif cannot provide a solution to this. We spent a ton of money on plug-ins as well as on AP and are left to figure this out on our own.

    No problem with placing jpegs, just ORF. IMG_0874.MOV

    Í’ve reported this bug last year for both Olympus ORF and Nikon NEF files (3500 model). It was resolved for NEF files, but it remains an issue for Olympus ORF (camera models e-m10, e-m5ii and e-m1ii). Trying to help another person, I see this also happens now with CR3 files from a Canon 90d. My post from last year Trying to place a RAW files does absolutely nothing but moves the background pic around.
  19. Silvia
    still having issues placing ORF files from any of my 3 Olympus cameras. em-10, em-5ii and an em-1ii models, both from Photos or iCloud. Is this issue not going to be fixed??

    Terribly difficult composing and blending background properly with an brush edge preview ! It´s been three years since first requested. Is it that difficult to implement ?

    I had the same issue on the US App Store both for iPad AP and desktop version for MacOS. Since I wouldn't get a notification for the update, I search for the app using the App Store search. Once I found it, I clicked on it as if to read reviews (don't click on Open cause it'll open the old version). Once you're on the full page of the app, you'll see the Update button instead of the Open button. Installed both this way.
  22. Silvia
    Anyone else using Olympus having this issue? Thanks
  23. Silvia
    Any news on this issue? I'm testing AP beta and isn't solved in their latest GM version.
  24. Silvia
    Update. In addition to having this issue with RAW photos from Olympus em-5ii, same thing happens with photos from em-10i
  25. Silvia
    Thanks, stokerg. The Olympus, which is what I've been shooting for several years now, is OM-D EM-5 mark ii.
