Pauls

I can confirm that pinning settings aren't lost or undesirably changed after re-opening the .afpub in v184.

Thanks Pauls. Also an update - I downloaded the latest Beta for AD (email received this afternoon) ... and the problem seems to have been worked on. The white flower font on the white background is no longer showing an outline. xx

version 1.8.3 fixed this particular issue for me. Still displayed correctly with 1.8.4

Please ignore No.2. I've now installed updates for Photo and Designer and the .afpub files are opening in the correct programme. Thanks.

This bug has been fixed in Publisher/Designer/Photo 1.8.4. The Alignment Panel now remembers the previous settings like it used to in 1.8.1. 😀

Test this PDF, made in Aff Publisher. It contains Non-lining figures in several different Adobe / Monotype fonts. -- Caslon, Garamond, Baskerville, Bembo, etc.  

They are all outlined in Illustrator, because they are alternate glyphs that can't be mapped back. If you claim that these fonts are 'wrong', then almost every font is wrong and we can't use any of them. Or, the application should work with fonts as they are. 
That is what Illustrator does, by outlining the glyphs. That is what Affinity should be doing. 

Instead, Affinity imports this PDF and switches in the default glyphs.

Figures.pdf

 

I solved the "click"-issue: the app interfering in my case was "XMouseButtonControl". Which is funny, since I did not even use the functions any more thus could simply uninstall it...

Apologies, please ignore (well it looked like it was being ignored anyway!)  It's been a while since I've masked within a file with a B&W live filter on, the refine mask goes to black instead of that nice red!
Maybe I should re-post as feature request would be nice if the mask colour remained consistent. Or maybe there is a setting for that?
Regards 

I'm not the original poster, but as one of the fellow participants in this thread, for my part I can confirm that this issue is fixed in 1.8.4 and in the last recent beta.

I've downloaded the update, checked and the issue has now been resolved for me. It is now working perfectly. 
Thank you!

Hey Pauls, so sorry I just found out the problem🙈. I switched to the Tint-slider ... it is black K=100 but tinted 50%. It is a bit confusing, because there is no hint that it is tinted (or maybe there is?, pease let me know) and in the Color-Tab the color is still K=100, only the Color-picker shows the correct values ... This topic can be closed.

Congrats, Affinity team. The issue with objects freezing up after the program (it worked fine in v. 183) was open for awhile got completely fixed in beta 184663. Thank you.

@thomaso
TK-Panel is an interactive action collection for Photoshop, which is steplessly controlled by slider e.g. for luminance masks.
@Tony77

There are no such or similar panels for Affinity-Photo.

Similar results of a brightness mask can be achieved as follows.
Duplicate the opened image and create a grayscale image from the duplicate.
Create a new adjustment layer e.g. a level or a curve and adjust the brightness according to your needs,
with the shortcut CTRL and ALT and with a mouse click on the thumnail, a selection is made,
or alternatively rasterize the grayscale layer as a mask.
 
Cheers
 
 

The menu item Layer, New group allows you to create a new group layer.
The mask layer is more like a property of the group/layer rather than being a child layer in itself which is why its it indented.

@RedLorrYellowDesing- are you using the encyption feature of pCloud?

I would definitely try a sample file with another provider pcloud has caused problems in the past

Do you have the master page selected at the start?

Translation for the "Palettized" in Export>PNG/GIF>More
減色済み - Incorrect
This means it's already been palettized.
減色 or 減色する - OK

Well, embarrassingly, I can't remember exactly which files gave me the issue - I'm working on quite a few.
Also, I haven't encountered the problem recently, ever since I split the files into smaller sections, so I suspect it is a memory linked issue.
I only have 8Gb of RAM and I'm going to look at upgrading it after lockdown.
So.. Thanks for your reply but I may just be wasting your time.
Let's let it ride for now and if it happens again I'll come back to you.
Cheers,
Tony

Hi Pauls,
As far as I remember, I have not met the same problem again, neither in betas nor released versions since that actual version.
Thanks,

I already sent the files to your dropbox. Notice that the problem is only when I want to do a pdf with PDF/X-4, which is what I sue wit the printer. Other pdf settings accept the file.

Just to let you know a fulll review is under way - these reports will be forwarded.

Fixed in 1.8.3.641 👍
