Colour in Viveza

John, at least one other thread "bemoaning" this is https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/29288-image-when-viewed-in-plugins-is-rotated/ -
Affinity Photo Customer Beta - 1.5.1.46
emmrecs01 replied to Mark Ingram's topic in [ARCHIVE] Photo beta on Windows threads
I do, and it didn't! I had to re-enter all my product key/registration details. However, I use D:\ as the dedicated HDD where most of my programs are installed to and run from, including Affinity Photo (release version). Could that be the reason for this anomaly, which I have not previously seen with the customer beta of AD? -
Affinity Photo Customer Beta - 1.5.1.46
emmrecs01 replied to Mark Ingram's topic in [ARCHIVE] Photo beta on Windows threads
I thought this new Beta would check that the full release version of Photo is installed and then allow its own installation to continue, as happened with the Customer Beta(s) of Designer. But no, apparently I must dig around in my emails OR open my Affinity account page in order to find my product key. Is that correct? If so, why? -
This is the sort of question to which I feel I ought to know the answer but... My monitor is an LG E2551, which is colour-profiled using an X-rite ColorMunki Display, permanently connected via USB, obviously, which monitors ambient light as well as requiring/requesting me to re-profile the colour output of said monitor once per month, which I do. So, I think the colours seen on screen should be "correct"? Using both AD and AP on Windows 10 I'm very uncertain about which colour profile I should choose in Edit>Preferences>Colour. Should I select for the 16-bit and 32-bit Colour Profiles the latest one created for the monitor, or should I simply use the defaults, or even, one of the several available created for my Epson Stylus Photo P50 printer? I'm simply attempting to be able to produce print-outs from both AD and AP that are as "close as possible" in colour to what I see on screen. Yes, I do understand the screen is RGB and any print-out is CMYK and hence "exact" colour matching is impossible, but I would like to get the two to be as close as possible! Many thanks for any advice offered. Jeff

My computer is also an i7 with 32Gb RAM; for me, switching between Personas, using a jpg file to test, takes anything between instant and approximately 3 to 4 seconds! Could you post here or somewhere else one of the images that exhibits this problem for you, along with a detailed description of the steps/changes you made within each Persona? Then others can test whether this is a problem also for them, or whether there is something specific about your system that is creating this extreme delay.

@John Rostron, I have to admit I've never before come across a scanner that does not include the specialist software to allow scanning to file. Having looked quickly at the support pages for your model, I see there is not one! My apologies!

@arfo62, You might care to look at https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/30398-raw-conversion-soft-darker-colors/ a thread where I, along with the OP, found some not inconsiderable differences between the RAW conversion of AP and that of Canon's own DPP4. Admittedly this was in the Windows version but it sounds very much as if the MAC version has the same problem. I'm sure the AP RAW convertor will "get better" but, for now, DPP4 produces a better result (also, for me, using a Canon EOS 600D).
-
Isn't the "best" way for importing via scanner to use the scanning software provided with the scanner? I understand why you would want to retain the ability to invoke your scanner directly from AP but it is surely not a great amount of additional work to scan to folder from your scanner's software and then simply open the image in AP?

Thanks MEB. Perhaps that needs to be "announced" somewhere (in order to prevent others posting a similar question?

Is this update MAC only?

Plugin Support is still bad in version 1.5.0.44
emmrecs01 replied to dke's topic in [ARCHIVE] Photo beta on Windows threads
I don't think I agree that plugin support is "bad", but I can reproduce this problem. Original image, with area selected: When opened in the same plugin as the OP shows: When using a different Nik plug, notice the area selected for modifying. Because I have hardly ever needed to apply a filter to only a small portion of an image I have no idea whether this was present in any of the earlier betas. Jeff -

I'd like to also support this request, perhaps an additional pdf that could be downloaded from this forum? @Grayman60, those resource files are all downloadable, the "titles" are hyperlinks. Simply copy the link address of the one, or more, that you want to your browser and open the page. In my case, I designated a folder to store the ones I wanted to work through and then opened them in AD.

I have created a post about this in the Feature Requests section of this forum; the thread is https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/30443-photo-cropping-of-rotatedstraightened-image-crop-marks-to-not-be-outside-image-boundaries/ Perhaps posters here and others who think this would be a great improvement, might like to add their voices to this request by posting their agreement to that thread?

Red and blue dots

Try zipping it or, more likely to be needed, upload it to a file-sharing site (Dropbox or similar) and provide here a link to it. -
https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/30168-cropping-staying-within-the-boundaries-of-the-image/ is the post that first refers to this. As explained there, the necessity to make at least four additional move-and-click actions, one for each "edge", could be avoided if the crop marks always "automatically" stayed within the boundaries of the image.
