My guess is that AP with never be finished, because of the new apps for iPads and the Windows version. Appears to me as if Serif just wanted to shoot a hot balloon into the Adobe sphere...

There are still many 'constructions zones' in AP and AD, this is just one of them. But smile, as a compensation you can purchase AP for an iPad now! [This is more than sarcasm!]

Any news on this topic?

An option to display blown highlights (100% white) and 100% black areas with different colors would be a nice feature. It could be a simple button in the top region where the other buttons reside.

I would like to get an answer from the developers.

Sure other software can do this:

That means the developers just have to add it in Photo Persona. So let's go. BTW, I have scanned images, file size around 650 MB per image @48bit, so moving these monsters to the develop persona and back is a no go. Shouldn't be too hard to integrate a Kelvin adjustment in the image editor. I have another software that can do this...

Did I miss something? I can't find a setting for the color temperature in any adjustment layer. What I am looking for is i.e. in the white balance adjustment a slider to select any color temperature between 2000 and 10000 Kelvin. Would it be possible to integrate such a slider in the white balance or maybe a separate adjustment layer?

Just imagine: After around 12 months Affinity Photo version 1.5 already left PL with version 20.2 (!) far behind...

Thank you very much Keith! Now we should celebrate this moment.

And exactly that is the problem of the multiple distro Linux community: They want everything for FREE. Who is going to issue your paycheck?

Linux? I wouldn't invest a single dime into the development of an app for this OS. Ahem - which OS? The real Linux problem is that there are too many 'distros'. If they all would unite and put their effort into one single Linux OS, it would be an OS appealing a bit more to developers of commercial (proprietary) software. By the way: Several years ago Xara ( the same request, and they delivered. However, soon after the release of the Linux version it was clear that hardly anyone was interested in it. So Xara stopped the expensive adventure. My guess: The same story would happen to AP and AD. Please, before you think you have to convince me or tell me about the good Linux stuff, hold your breath: I am using Linux for more than a decade by now, but definitely not for any image editing or design. Recommendation: If you want to use AP and/or AD, just invest into a Mac. It is simple as that.

I faced the same problem. I used to print in the neighborhood drugstore with a Kodak Kiosk printer (hassle free and cheaper!). Now that I use AP more often, the Kodak tells me that it can not read the data. I've tried 5 different stores with different Kodak Kiosk systems - no chance to print the images I have exported as JPEGs from AP. Because I needed the prints I had to purchase 20 sheets photo paper and go through all the hassle of office printing... Never have any issues with JPEGs from other apps...

Looks like the other apps don't read/interpret the accociated icc profile.

Because of the finger cracking workflow I hardly use Affinity anymore. Its like starting all over or going back to elementary school for rudimentary processes every time when I work on a document. My life time is too valuable to waste it on software that doesn't do logical processes any other software can do. Simple as that.

I am defining a grid with 10mm and 10 subdivisions, square format on an A4 landscape paper, visible. Then in the Menu -> Edit -> Defaults I save it. However, when starting a new document, the settings are gone and no grid is visible. How in this world can I create a template that starts a new document with my custom settings? Any help will be appreciated. Oh, yes, AD 1.5, just installed today...

What about Viveza - will it be supported in the near future?

There is a free Windows emulation: Virtual Box from Oracle. Just set it up for Windows, assign memory, install the apps you need and enjoy a smooth running guest OS. If you install the extensions, you can even open files from folders of your Mac. The icing on the cake: You can run Windows apps like native OS X applications (windowless) on your Mac. https://www.virtualbox.org

To change copyright information, etc. you should really test exiftool. With one single command you can change the copyright information of thousands of files - all you have stored in the same folder as your RAW files: exiftool -progress -tagsfromfile %d%f.[your_raw_file_extent] -copyright=[your_name etc] --Orientation -overwrite_original_in_place -q -q -ext tiff

PTLens is a plug-in that corrects lens distortion and offers straightening vertical and horizontal lines. It's not a plug-in that explicitly requires PS (it runs with Photoline and Elements as well), but unfortunately it crashes when started from within AP. A workaround would be to use the PTLens standalone version after you have developed a TIFF. http://epaperpress.com/ptlens/

A very simple tool: The Airbrush with lot of feathering and opacity set to 50%. At least this was our tool of choice years ago for retouching prints.

@Herbert123: You might try to use an IT8.7 Target and the Argyll CMS or - if you have a Mac - Rough Profiler (the OS X GUI for Argyll CMS) from José Pereira. Profiling film and/or a digicam is very precise with these tools. You can order an IT8.7 target from Wolf Faust at http://www.targets.coloraid.de - it's considerably cheaper and more precise than a ColorChecker.

The best app you can get: Exiftool Download, install and read the manual. Or start Terminal and do man exiftool to see all parameters and options. There is a forum somewhere as well. If you run DCRaw you can run exiftool as a second command and convert RAWs to TIFFs including all Exif data without having to touch a single file. Or you can run RPP (RawPhotoProcessor) which is the best RAW converter and includes Exiftool, writing all Exif data to the TIFF.

Sometimes a reboot solves all accumulated problems :) I know, reboot and Mac won't fit, but rest assured that even after an uptime of 243 days it can do real magic to your Mac

A far simpler solution would be the **functioning** integration of PTLens into AP (i.e. as a plug-in). Maybe the Affinity team should contact Tom Niemann at http://epaperpress.com/ptlens/index.html for more details.
