This didn't work for me: only one item in that Quicklook panel (called 'Tips'). This with Affinity Photo 2.5.5 & MacOS 15.1.1 Mark

Appreciated, Ash, thanks for this. Mark

Crumbs, , off topic but is that a screenshot of the FFT filter window, Hubble deep field edition? Mark

Fixed in 2.3.0 - thank goodness for that as this bug, when it bit, totally broke Affinity's fluidity. Thanks for the fix, Serif. Mark

It won't help everyone as it's presumably no longer downloadable: I have Affinity photo version 1 on this machine and if I'm doing some image straightening I'll go straight to that. Mark

Alas, this regression from Affinity 1 not fixed yet in Affinity version 2.2. Please revisit this, Serif. Mark

Fixed by 2.2. Thanks. Mark

Affinity Photo 2.1 on MacOS Ventura, hardware acceleration on. I think I recall that this has been a bug for Affinity 2 since it was launched. With an image open, use the Affinity menu 'Filter/noise/fft denoise'. Then, go to the fft denoise window that's opened, and use the scroll bars to scroll the pattern. Affinity struggles to draw the parts of the pattern beyond the margin - see the screenshot - and if you scroll back to the centre of the pattern, Affinity struggles to display the part of the image it displayed previously. Mark

The display's 2560x1664 and I'm not using any scaling, hope this helps. Mark

Affinity Photo 2.1.0 on Mac OS. To reproduce this: Open Affinity and then an image. Make a change - e.g. add a layer. Use the Affinity menu "About'. Do not dismiss the 'About' panel but immediately use the Affinity menu 'Quit'. Affinity Photo is now unresponsive as it awaits your decision on whether to discard the current image or save it. That control is inaccessible to you as it is beneath the 'About' panel - which itself, you can no longer dismiss. (The application can now be killed via Apple's 'Force Quit' menu). Mark

Yes, hopefully Serif will be able to give this some love in due course, it's not so much a feature request as a regression from version one. Mark

Bring an image into Affinity by copying it from somewhere and then use 'File/New from clipboard'... and before various things will work, it's necessary to also use 'Layers/Rasterise'. This is by design, but it trips up people new to Affinity as they attempt to find out why e.g. moving the pixels in a marquee selection doesn't function. When rasterised, in the layers panel, the label on the layer changes from 'Image' to 'Pixels' but as an alert as to why something might not be working this is a bit subtle. Perhaps Affinity could provide something more here to provide a hint for users new to the software as to how to proceed. Mark

Once a grid preset is created (using the menu 'View/Grid and Axis'), Affinity 2 needs to give people the ability to set that preset as a default - so that when the software is reopened and a new image opened, that preset grid can instantly be made visible using the shortcut Cmd and ' . This would restore a time-saving function lost between versions 1 and 2. Mark

Bring an image into Affinity by copying it from somewhere and then use 'File/New from clipboard'... and before various things will work, it's necessary to also use 'Layers/Rasterise', This bites people from time to time as they attempt to find out why e.g. moving the pixels in a marquee selection doesn't function. When rasterised, in the layers panel, the label on the layer changes from 'Image' to 'Pixels' but as an alert as to why something might not be working this is a bit subtle. Would it be good if the new layer included an alert from the assistant as to whether the user would like to rasterise the layer on the spot - or indeed whether not being a rasterised layer isn't a feature at all but a bug? Mark

Yes, this is a regression from version 1 and needs fixing please. Mark
