Reslecting the last tool used
carl123 replied to sdm1177's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
A long click for me is under a second and I get the drop-down There may be an OS setting that specifies when your mouse/pen registers a long click, which may be set very, very low Alternatively, try the CTRL run-up option to reset your app to its default settings -
Can you upload one to the forum, for testing, or else we will only be guessing as to where the problem may be

You can use the channel panel to switch off the editability of the alpha channel (Protect Alpha)

The Help file gives a good overview of what OpenCL does -
export settings
carl123 replied to jimh12345's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
The path will not be ignored but will not do what the user wants to do The path you specify in the export persona is tacked onto the folder you export the images to. So, if the user wants to export to "C:\Users\lando\OneDrive\FB" They would specify Users\lando\OneDrive\FB for the path component and on the export screen just navigate to the root of the "C:" drive and select that for the output folder -
Canon RAW files displayed too dark in develop persona
carl123 replied to DW52's topic in V2 Bugs found on Windows
I think it may just be some automatic tone curve adjustment algorithm that works similar to Auto Levels and Auto Contrast (etc) that you find in Filter > Colours... I don't think it is manufacturer specific but only a Dev or Support staff will be able to give you a definitive answer as to what it does and how it works -
Canon RAW files displayed too dark in develop persona
carl123 replied to DW52's topic in V2 Bugs found on Windows
I see the same as you with no tone curve but once enabled the results are comparable to the comparison you displayed above. I think having the Tone Curve enabled is the best way to initially process RAW files Time to load image is 4 seconds on my i7, 16GB -

It does look a little dull in comparison. Do you have Apply Tone Curve enabled in Assistant Preferences (Manager)? Also, could you upload that RAW file, here, for testing? -

Canon RAW files displayed too dark in develop persona

I guess at some point you have to ask the question, why not? You would think the manufacturer would be the best person to know the best initial default settings to apply to their RAW images I would think that are lot of non-professional photographers would be quite happy with what the manufacturer's default gives them, saving them the hassle of having to adjust each RAW file on opening it Maybe Serif could add an option to the Assistant Manager to do this in a future update/upgrade -
macro missing in photo 1

.afmacros files can be imported without a document being opened as they are application-wide macros .afmacro files are document specific so you need to have a document open to import one -
Image borders preference
carl123 replied to Vikjohn's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
If you are placing an image in a Publisher document you can set a stroke (border) on the image To apply to all images in the current document... Edit > Copy one image that has the stroke (border) Select > Select Object > Images Edit > Paste Style I am not aware of any way to make the border a default option -
