[32 bit profile still ignored in beta 42]

Hi Laurentia

 

Do you already have the image open in the develop persona when you change it to develop in 32bit as well as change the 32bit profile? I do get the coour profile to stick but it needs to be assigned before the image is opened. If you are already doing this are you able to get it to stick with another colour profile instead of the hassleblad one?

[AP RC2 crash]

Thanks Depa

 

I managed to get it to crash using the macro so I have passed this over to the development team also

[AP RC2 crash]

Hi Depa

 

Thanks for the file. I've been able to replicate the crash but only with the file you have sent me. If i try with a fresh image and create a macro to add the same adjustments, cannot get the crash to occur. Would you be able to export the macro you used and attach it here So I can try that?

 

Thanks

[32 bit profile still ignored in beta 42]

Hi Laurentia

 

Thanks for reporting the crash I;ve gotten this logged. I'll look into the 32bit issue and get that reported too. I see you also posted on the Mac forum so I will also cover that at the same time :)

[AP RC2 crash]

Hi Depa

 

Thanks for the crash report. This seems like it might be a little more complex than just painting on the unsharp mask filter. What other elements/processes did you have in the image at the time?

[Range Displayed for Grayness Color Selection]

Hi MarvinR

 

In the video the slider is set to percentage, for some reason it is set by default to 8-bit in Windows. We are aware of the difference. If you want to change it to percentage to match the video you can choose it from the colour panel preferences

[HSL and Curves issues]

Hi Kyle

 

The layers in Affinity work slightly differently in Affinity then perhaps you are used to.

 

There isn't really a method to achieve what you are after using clipping however there are other ways. Adjustment layers in Affinity are also masks within themselves rather than having a linked mask like in PS. This allows you to paint directly on the adjustment layer to edit it's masking. Therefore one method to achieve the above would be to paint on the curves to create your mask area, go to Select > Selection from layer which should select your masked area, then add the HSL adjustment which will then be automatically masked to the selection area without having to add any additional masks

 

If you already have the adjustments applied like in your screenshot you can group them and apply a mask to the group or move the one you already have on to it. Alternatively you can use the above selection method and create a second mask for the HSL adjustment which is the same by just clicking create mask

[AP 1.5 RC2 - OS error message]

Hi rjo, welcome to the forums

 

How strange. are you able to delete the beta and re-download it and see if it is any better for you?

[selective colour adjustment]

Hi Marj

 

Other than the flowers and the bench there is not a lot of red in that image, so I would not expect it to have much of an effect. Try with a different image such as a portrait that contains much more red and you should see more of an effect. Same for the other colours. The results are really dependant on the information in the image. 

[The view of the developed image in Affinity Develop ...]

Hi Pollux, we have improved the Develop preview on the Mac side so I would expect this to filter to the Windows app also. I'll keep an eye on this but it may be worth trying it in the next few builds to see if it is any better for you

[White Balance Picker broken - 32bit]

Hi Mome

 

Thanks for reporting this. I shall take it you are just clicking rather than clicking and dragging with the picker? It seems to not be creating a history command for setting the white balance so it doesn;t realise it has when you click away. it seems to be general rather than specific to 32bit images I'll get this logged

[Persona - No color picker for white balance?]

HI verysame

 

The white balance has a lack of picker with the sliders to save space onthe UI, but also it has a separate tool in the develop persona. It is the last tool underneath the crop

[How do I delete one symbol "btn" in symbol "head" and reserve the other "btn"?]

Hi Seabirdr

 

If you deselect sync on the Symbols panel you can delete the btn without affecting the other one. Don;t forget to turn back on sync to make sure the symbol updates afterwards

[View & Move Tool Switching]

Hi Mary-Lou

 

The selected tool is remembered for that document instead of globally across the app. This is intended behaviour

This is also on the Mac. It should probably do this for constancy so I shall get this logged

[Pixelated when brushing]

Hi haitashe

 

When you say the image is moving do you mean the the image underneath the brush stroke eg the sewing machine image? From what I can see from  your screenshot you are using a 1px brush which will appear pixellated. Although I'm not really sure exactly what it is you are seeing. are you able to provide any video or some more detailed screenshots or steps so we can investigate this further 

 

That depends upon the dynamics of the brush. The brush texture is laid along the stroke as you draw, so it will often change as the stroke gets longer.

 

This is true of vector brushes you would find in Designer but not the raster brushes in the Photo app which basically repeat the single texture image

Are you able to provide an example file that demonstrates the issue so we can look into it? You can use this link to upload it

Hi xseryd

 

Thanks for reporting this, it is something we do know about so hopefully it will get solved soon :)

[Colour picker Bug]

Hi Veidd

 

If you have both images open in affinty then the colour picker will one apply to the active document, which as the time is the second image you picked the colour from. However, on the colour panel the small circle next to the colour picker there will change and this will carry over between documents. You can click on this circle with the objects selected to apply the colour

[Very Slow 'Refine Selection']

HI Paul

 

The refine selection does take a longer time the larger the area you are trying to refine. It does need to finish the process before you can move on. Are you doing a large area or do you find doing multiple smaller areas is quicker?

 

Thanks

[Duplicate]

Hi Camille

 

Ctrl+J or going to Layer > Duplicate should work fine. If the keyboard shortcut is not functioning for you, can you try resetting the shortcuts in the preferences dialog. If it still doe snot function can you let us know what keyboard layout you are using?

 

Thanks

[printing tiff-files]

Hi Régal

 

Our tiff export is quite complicated so there is something in the format that both GIMP and Easy Photo print EX does not like. Similar tiff files from PS also throw up these errors which are also pretty complicated. Are you able to print the tiff without using the included Canon software, eg straight form Affinity Photo or directly from Microsoft's picture viewer?

[Help File Error]

Hi MarvinR

 

Thanks for raising this, this is due to some changes there were made to the help but not fully pulled into the build. This should be fixed for the next beta build
