I'struggeling with the picture orientation of imported pics that constantlly get interpreted wrongly. I'm passing a picture from Capture One to AP that has a clear portrait orientation (in the Camera RAW, in Capture1 and in the TIF file I use for transfering the pic to AP). But in many cases Affinity opens the picture turned 90 degree - so my first step is always to turn the pic back again. Really annoying! Any clue what's the problem? C1: AP:

This has already been brought to the developers attention ... I don't expect new fetures to be comming up in this version. Let's be curious what Ver. 2.0 brings ...

So what exactly is "by design"?

Well, it would be nice if one could choose if transparency is available or not - but despite this setting afaik transparent elements are converted into dither if required?! As well the above 8-Bit PNG already carries transparency for the bg! See below:

Thx for the answer. Anything like that part of future planning?

I wonder if there is some kind of functionality to realise mesh grid functionality as we have it in Photo in Designer (based on vectorial shapes) as well? Cheers, Timo

I wonder if it is intentionally or "by Design" that exporting a vector with transparency and layer effects active (outer shadow and 3D) works fine for PNG but (outer shadow) doesn't work at all with PNG 8-Bit dithered? Cheers, Timo PNG: PNG 8Bit

Take a look at this liquify screenshot with the according preferences ... You can see the artefacts, the mesh going wild - and the preferences with enabled HW acceleration

Just to clarify: in my picture we are not looking at "display" errors but real pixel errors resulting from liquify calculations ...

OpenCL was on ... wit Nvidia GTX 1660Ti - latest driver.

Jowday, it looks like a similar technical issue ... but we also should discuss your photopgraphy topics 🙂 (LMAO)

Not sure if this is a beta-specific problem - but these artefacts occured in the latest Beta (852) after applying a liquify edit. Cheers, Timo

Kann ich allerdings bestätigen ... Schmuckfarben/Volltonfarbenhandling ist nen Alptraum ... Ist es eigentlich auch möglich eine solche Farbe nicht nur Dokumentspezifisch zu speichern, sondern global für zukünftige Projekte auch bereit zu stellen? Selbst im eigenen Dokument ist es ja mit detektivischer Investigation verbunden, die selbst angelegten Schmuckfarben wieder zu finden ...

I updated to latest Beta and it seems to work now!

Yes, maybe my description was no precise enough ... thx, Carl

Hmmm, maybe I don't get what you mean. When working in Designer and you select "Edit in Photo" Designer stays active with no document open any more.... obviously you want to go on working in Photo but Designer stays active. So you proceed working on the document in Photo and sooner or later you want to continue again in Designer ... You click "Edit in Designer" and Photo stays actice .... but obviously you want to continue in Designer ... And end up with an empty surface in Photo and have to manually switch to Designer again ... I don't get where there is an increase in processing speed

When switching a document from Designer to Photo or vice versa the original applications stays active (but - obviously - doesn't show the document any more) ... This may be by design but is pretty annoying and certainly not useful with regards to workflow. Cheers, Timo

When trying to register from within the program I get an "Internal Server Error" ... (Beta 843) Cheers, Timo

Perfect ... Perspective Filter does it! Thx Walt.

I wonder if it is possible to form a pixel layer by only dragging one corner. Obviously it's easy to resize, rotate and change the aspect ratio - but I need to project a photo on the the wall of another photo ... therefor it is required to be able to adjust cornerpoints independently. I tried it in AP and AD but could not figure out how to do it: Any help is appreciated. Cheers, Timo

It seems that the problem more often occurs, when you work with high intensity calculation operations. E.g. masked filter layers in "multiply" mode ...

This occured during active hardware acceleration ...

Happens sometimes in the Beta ... but disappears after restart Squares change randomly when I move the mouse over it (without clicking) - behaves differently in different zoom levels (memory issue?):

Excellent! Thx!

Thx, Carl!
