[Strange color shift when using custom icc Profile (Macbook M3)]

I tried P3-1600 and P3-600 screen settings.

The issue is still there with Beta Version 2217  

 

[Strange color shift when using custom icc Profile (Macbook M3)]

I moved from a 2015 MacBook Pro to the new M3 one.

I have a AfPub1 document, which I opened with AfPub1 and AfPub2 on the new machine (also tried AfPhoto).

The images are very light, and totally of what they should look like. When I make a screenshot the color gets suddenly normalish (I trust the software, I am not a colorimeter)

Because I cannot make a screenshot from the issue, I have appended two iPhone shots.

 

After some trying I found out, that switching from Metal to OpenGL fixed it. Also doing a screen recording with Quicktime while working with the Software seems to do the job.
I woud appreciate if you could fix this in Version 1 and 2

[Beta 1.8.0.526 Wacom pen, cannot switch to eraser]

Wacom CTL-4100, Mac, Current 1.9.0 AP

Pen-Button is set to Eraser in Wacom Settings.  Eraser works in Microsoft OneNote but not in Affinity Photo.

Is there some additional Setting I have to do in AP?

[(Designer) Adjustment on vector images makes it blurry]

Any vectors that use Adjustment Layers will be rasterised when printed. What is the DPI of your document? If you make it 300 DPI does it print any better?

Thank you, this helped me.

I never thought about the DPI setting when working with pure vector graphics.

It was set to 72.

[(Designer) Adjustment on vector images makes it blurry]

Can I make an vector image darker keeping it a pure vector image for the printer?

 

Background

I designed a leaflet in Affinity Designer and printed it out. I noticed that my printer (Canon MG5300) has a lower contrast than my display. I applied a brightness/contrast adjustment on the whole image. The color was ok then.

But the printed picture was blurry because it was sent to the printer as a pixel graphic.

 

Thank you

[(Photo) Group Adjustment Layers]

Did you already make your investigation?

If not, just a short question on that:

 

Is it defined, what should happen if I have only adjustments/filters grouped. (With some image under the group)?

 

If not I'd request a feature: That the adjustments/filters are composed and I could apply a mask on them.

(Same effect as Post  #6  first example)

 

I think this easy-to-implement feature would make layers in affinity even more powerful.

Best regards.

[Lossless Raster Image layer]

The issue is perfectly described in the Link from MBd above.

I import a (compressed) jpeg into affinity
I make it visually smaller
I rasterize it (by retouching it)
I decide to make it (significantly) bigger.

 

I understand well, why this happens, but I'm looking for a workaround.

 

If I bring in an image it´s automatically scaled to fit the document DPI. When I then rasterize it I have no quality loss.

 

But when I (accidentally) resize it and later on want to apply a raster based effect (inpainting) I loose quality through rasterization and I can´t seem to have an option to resize it to it´s native resolution again (to do an optimal rasterization).

 

Could you add an option under the "rasterize" entry that is like "resize to match document DPI", or maybe even better: give an option to "rasterize to native resolution" which rasters to the resolution of the image instead of the resolution of the current document?

 

Thanks for your consideration

 

[Lossless Raster Image layer]

I made a Photobook.

Sometimes i transformed JPEGs, edited them and decided afterwards to transform them again.

In those cases I had a loss in Image quality.

What would be the easiest option to raster an image in its original size.

 

(Technical explanation: In affinity there is a difference between image and pixel layers. The image needs to be (automatically) converted into a pixel layer to edit (retouch) it. The resulting pixel layers amount of pixel is defined by the pixel size on the document)

 

Of course I could raster images before the initial transformation (every time i add one of a hundred pictures)

But this would dramatically increase the size of the afphoto file - so this is not an option for me.

 

What methods are coming to your mind?

[(Photo) Group Adjustment Layers]

Do you get my point?

Is there a way to get the effect easily or would that be a feature request?

Is it even defined, what should happen, when grouping just adjustments/filters?

[(Photo) Group Adjustment Layers]

I'm not sure, whether you understand, what my original intension was.

 

What i want to do is, applying multiple Adjustments/Filters to an area specified by one Mask.

 

I could do this duplicating the Pixel layer. This works perfectly. But if it would not only be one layer but a variety of layers I want the Adjustments to be applied to, it wouldn't make sense to duplicate them all.

 

I also could duplicate the mask. This solution seams easy. But this has a slightly different effect. (that I don't want)

 

So what I did is grouping only the Adjustments (didn't work as shown above) because I didn't see any other way.

Hi,

do you get the Effect as well, is this a bug?

[(Photo) Group Adjustment Layers]

Thanks,
i just reconstructed the issue.

In my case I wanted to generate an alpine glow effect. And the mountain is grey like in the easy example.

[(Photo) Group Adjustment Layers]

I want to apply some adjustments to a specific area of a picture.

I decided to group the adjustment layers to a group and apply a mask on the group.
But why do I get this Rainbow-Effect?
In this example I used the White-Balance-Adjustment and Affinity Photo.

 

Is this a bug or a feature?
