Thanks for your answer. I've take my time to give an exact feed back. Macbook Pro Intel i9 (2,4 Ghz / 64 GO RAM) Mac OS 12.6.6 Affinity Photo 2.1.1 I met this problem after the 2.1 update. What's I discribe below is something I do several time a day (since a long long time ago) : Select a layer Select the gaussian blur tool (destructive, not dynamic filter) The little panel with the slider is open Tape a filter factor (The problema apeare here) BEFORE, when I use TAB key, the result of the filter is temporaly apply to see the result and I can tape immediatly a new factor if I need it. NOW, after using the TAB key, the cursor jump before the previous caracter and it doesn't apply the result (for example : if you tape "10" and TAB key, the cusor jump between "1" and "0" and you'll never see the result … you have to press "return" key to see the preview. I'm a professionnal graphic designer since 1998 and using TAB key to obtain a preview result is quite natural for me and using TAB key this way is common in lots of software even in Affinity Photo until the 2.1 update.

Hi, Since the Affinity Photo 2.1 update, I not be able to navigate in the filter panels with the "tab" key … and it's a very big loose of time. Please restaure this key feature, it's so important for working fast. s with

Thanks à lot R C-R !!! Everything I'm looking is stored in this folder. It's perfect ! It would be a great thing to be hable to import/export all our preferences in once (brushes/presets/workspace layout/…).

UPDATE : There's nothing in the hidden files en folders in "My Home Directory/Library/Application Support/" These presets have to be store somewhere in MacOS of my previous computer but where ?

Ok, I will check hidden files and I'll make an update tomorrow.

Thanks v_kyr, but it doesn't seem to works like that with de V2 … it's weird.

Hi, I'm moving to a new computer, Ive installed the Affinity suite 2 I've transfered all the Affinity 2 application support folders : My Home Directory/Library/Application Support/Affinity Designer 2 (+ Photo 2 + Designer 2) I've transfered all the Affinity 2 preferences : My Home Directory/Library/Preferences/com.seriflabs.afinity…2.plist Everything works but all of my personal setups (brushes, curves, LUTs) are not restored 🤔 Somebody knows where are they stored in Macos, please ?

@MEB, everything works fine now with this last update (1.10.4). THX for the incredible reactivity of Affinity's team, you've done a great job !

There's no issue for me with MacOS 11.6 on my MBP + Affinity Photo 1.10.1 (except the terribly long first Affinity's softwares startup since I'm on Big Sur)

Thanks for your quick answer 🙂

It's the same for me (MBP i9 2.4Ghz - RAM 64Go / Radeon Pro 5500M 8Go). But it's only for the first startup of my work day, if I've to do a second startup during the same day, it's a little bit quickerIt's the same for me (MBP i9 2.4Ghz - RAM 64Go / Radeon Pro 5500M 8Go).

Hi, Since I've done the last upgrade of Affinity Photo, I've constate lots of glitch when I zoom in/out in a picture. Actually, the only solution is to downgrade to restore a perfecte working condition … There is also issues with the layer tab. Layers appears and disappears randomly (it looks a refresh data issue). glitch-H264-30Mbps.mp4

Thanks for your reply. I found a way (not simple but it works) : 1- add all my color adjustements on separate adjustement layers (don't forget to named every layers with the name you give to the adjustement) 2- save the document as a *.afphoto 3- upgrade your software 4- open your *.afphoto with all your saved color adjustements layers 5- resave them one by one [-_-!] in the adjustements panel … It's a little bit long if you have got a huge adjustements library.

Hi, I've try to upgrade AfPhoto but when I've open this new version (ctrl+click to be sure that all reset options have been unchecked), all my curves presets, my workspace, … disappeared. Fortunatly my TimeMachine works fine and I've restored the previous version with the com.seriflabs.affinityphoto folder. What is the best way to upgrade it without headache ?

Great job !

Thanks VectorWhiz :-)

Hello ! Here is my last creation made with Affinity Photo. This creation is an hybrid between photo retouching and digital airbrushing to obtain a retro 80's airbrush style. Enjoy it ! [^_^] Lot's of layers ... [^_^!] More details on my behance page : https://www.behance.net/gallery/66338185/LOVE-HATE-and-VICE-VERSA

In my case, it's not a frustration, it's a need. I create artwork for music labels and Apple iTunes always ask us uncompressed TIFF files (4000x4000@300dpi-sRGB or AdobeRGB) ; if not, your file is rejected by their systems of validation. And when I create covers for physical albums, SONY Music wants a complete folder with pre-press files, fonts, PDF, ... and images in uncompressed TIFF. So it's not a luby. I love working with Affinity Photo, it's a very powerfull and great software but this little lack force me too always use another software to complete my images job ... Annoying, isn't it ?

@ Fixx : No of course not But the Irix's Picture Viewer has got simple great options to enhance the sharpness of a picture. I have never found this kind of options in any picture editing softwares. In fact you can find these kind of options in 3D softwares to correct and to adjust the antialiasing before a render (antialiasing filters - AAF) ... I have to write a post with examples because results are really good !

Hello, After a quick search on DuckDuckGo, I found this post about "Uncompressed TIFF" in AP. I design covers for some music labels and I work with AP and uncompressed TIFF is a need because Apple iTunes/Music needs covers 4000x4000px sRGB in uncompressed TIFF file format. And after the second feed back I understound AP can't do it (!!!) and I'll have to use a 3rd party software to convert AP TIFF files to an uncompressed version (-_-!). For the little story, I use the Irix's picture viewer of my SGI Octane to do it ... a 17 years old computer ... just because it's fun

@ Brunzenstein : answer in PM.

Hi all ! Personally I prefer use Filter Forge. It's a powerful tool to create all kind of filters : you can do it yourself or choose one from a huge library ... and it works fine with AP. Lots of graphic studio use this kind of powerful plugin without shame ...

???? But I smile because it's true and all my friends know it : I'm a hard worker because I love my job of graphic designer for 20 years.

In fact, after a simple copy/paste, the way to resize object in AP works like smart object function in Photoshop BUT you don't have to pay attention to the update of the file. Some people could think it's a silly way to work but I've never made a mistake by having forget a update of an object ... I use my head instead of let the machine do. (^_^!) And another detail : packshots are on another hard drive. They are archived on a bluray for my jewels library (+2500 objects), and catalogs of a year are archived on a "customer's bluray" ...
