Problem with Zoom Tool in 1.3.5.7
markuswaeger replied to markuswaeger's topic in [ARCHIVE] Photo beta on macOS threads
You can change this. ;) -
AP allows to set back the arrangement of panels to Studio. I would prefer to save my own workspaces and set back to their arrangements. Regards, Markus

When I use the Picker in the Curves panel clicking near by a tonal never I have set a point before sets another point very close. It would be much bitter if clicking with the picker close to a tonal level that is already represented by a point on the levels curves affects that point than creating a new one.

I find the Vibrance adjustment a little weak. Even at 100 % it is still a subtile adjustment. I can even double the adjustment layer but the result is looking a little strange.

Setting the black und white points in curves is really hard especially the white point because it is far away from the bottom line oft the histogram. Photoshops triangle handles on the bottom make it easier. Also a good solution are the vertical lines in the levels panel. Best wishes Markus

Clippings warnings in colour channels
markuswaeger replied to markuswaeger's topic in [ARCHIVE] Photo beta on macOS threads
Sorry, this was wrong: “Trying the alt key in channel editing in curves the image is faded out to black/white but no warnings appear.” This is correct: Trying the alt key in channel editing in LEVELS the image is faded out to black/white but no warnings appear. I hope this is understandable. My relatively little english skills limits my descriptions. -
High end editing curves in AP needs to be improved by selecting curve points by key as also editing them by arrow keys.

Photoshop allows to fill with foreground colour by hitting alt+del, fill with background colour with cmd+del. I think all this features that Photoshop users find equal in AP will help feel them feel like home and make them switch.

Editing Colours in the Gradient Map panel needs to select the colour point and then clicking on the Colour field. I supposed editing Colours just by double clicking the round colour point on the gradient. I think this would be more intuitiv and more efficient.

Photoshops Channel Mixer is a great to for B&W conversion. I wish the AP Channel Mixer would has a similar function. Apps like Capture One, ACR, Aperture and a lot more allows to set back values to 0 / default double clicking the value slider. Photoshop does the same in most dialogues and panels double clicking the value label. This is a very use full feature though the slider double click seems the better solution to me.

Loading multiple selected layers
markuswaeger replied to markuswaeger's topic in [ARCHIVE] Photo beta on macOS threads
It was just my feedback about user experience. I am working on a german book about Affinity Photo and exploring the program in deep. I think it might be interesting for you to get feedback on my thoughts as a longtime Photoshop user and expert. No criticism. Your app is great.- 4 replies

If I select two (or more) layers in the layers panel and chose Select • Select from Layer I suppose a selection from all Layers. Just a suggestion from user experience.

Hi, I think pressing the esc key should work as Cancel while working with the Mesh Warp Tool. I also think pressing enter should apply the settings. Regards, Markus

Levels and curves improvements
markuswaeger replied to markuswaeger's topic in Older Feedback & Suggestion Posts
OK. That is great. Allows to add more than 4 or 6 measure points. Thanks. -
Hi, Affinity Photo is fast and smooth new software for image editing. It shines with retouching and filter layers but I sea a lot of weaknesses when it comes to high-end editing in tones, colours and curves. Things I miss: Black- and white point eye dropper in levels and curves (with option to sets its values as in Photoshop) WB / neutral grey eye dropper in levels and curves Side by side view for rgb and colour histograms in the histogram panel Shortcuts for selecting colour channels in levels and curves A shortcut to visualize blown out shadows and highlights in levels and curves like option click on black and white point sliders in levels and curves or cmd click in Apple Aperture A tool or eye dropper to set measure points on images (with editable output values as in the info panel in Photoshop) The Shadows/Highlights tool is far behind that in Photoshop. I think this needs a lot to be done. I could also not figure out how to set width, hight and ppi for the crop tool. I have written a review in my blog (http://www.markuswaeger.com/2015/09/10/ist-affinity-photo-die-photoshop-alternative/ , german language) with the summary that Affinity Photo is the best alternativ to Photoshop by now and that people need to take a look at with the restriction that it has weaknesses on high-end editing like I mentioned above. I like to work more in deep in the next weeks and months with AP and if time allows I will write more about in my blog, record some german tutorials about the app and come back to place more feature requests. You have done a great job with Affinity Photo (and Designer). Thanks. Markus
