In the Tone Mapping persona, the sliders for various adjustments such as Exposure, Black Point, etc. hesitate when making adjustments. In other words, you can slide a slider but the effect doesn't show immediately. This is using OpenGL based on the problems encountered with the clone tool using Metal. Really makes it tough to do adjustments when you have to guess where to put the slider, then wait for the change to happen. Makes it very much trial and error as opposed to real-time.

Turned off Metal and the clone tool is back to normal. Apparently Metal settings can't be used for my iMac config. Go figure!

Use the clone tool a lot in 1.6.7, but in the newest beta (GM) the tool is very slow. Really have to wait for the results to show. Not sure why that is. Everything else seems a bit faster.

First crash doing an HDR merge. Do these all day long in 1.6.7, and for the last couple days that the GM has been out, been doing them successfully in the GM. But today got a crash. Crash Report - HDR Merge.rtf

Have a bunch of Export Presets that do not show up in 1.7, so need a method to move them. The only option I see in 1.67 is to Copy to Clipboard, but that does not carry over to 1.7.

Yes, same results here. Didn't do it with a single word but did it with multiple words.

Yes, just tried with v141 and my Google NIK's are working without any problems (in a small, short test).

Does anyone know if this has been resolved/fixed with the 1.7.1 RC? We have waited to upgrader to 1.7 because we can't afford to lose our prefs, palettes, etc. I remember a thread from a mod that said Affinity was working on this issue so as to allow those of us who have a comfortable configuration of 1.6.7 won't lose all of our settings, prefs, etc. But since the newest 1.7.1 beta, I have not seen this issue discussed. Hopefully a mod can comment. Thanks.

Am I understanding correctly that this would only save presets of "Procedural Textures" and not the main general prefs, presets, etc. of APhoto? I haven't upgraded to 1.7 due to the loss of presets, so am hoping someone has figured out how to get things back to "normal" after the upgrade. While I've played with the betas for some time, cannot afford the downtime of losing various palettes, macros, presets, etc.

Just installed beta 384 and upon reopening, the previously open files did not reopen. Had to go to Recent Files to reestablish the projects I was working on.

As per other posts, may need to do a CMD-R in the app store to get all updates to show.

Also works for me with High Sierra.

Same here on 134. Essentially a monochrome and inaccurate preview. Keep hoping Affinity can get it working!

Been very clear all along (to me) and totally agree that this would be a wonderful enhancement and time saver. We anticipate using APub for a lot of PDF-with-hyperlinks output, so would be very handy to be able to see where the various graphic and text links are when working within the document, especially when modifying/updating previous docs.

+1 – I agree! I think this is a much needed function! I have also noticed how difficult it is to easily find the various links that have been created in a document.

Interesting! Based on that, I tried it again, but closed about a dozen tabs, some of which were large docs. EC now opens, shows a preview image, albeit not accurate (mostly monochrome), and does produce the effect. Did it twice, so seems to be working when I don't have a lot of tabs going. Mac High Sierra.

Yes, 128 didn't seem to crash, or at least it didn't the handful of times I tried it.

Still crashing beta 130 90% of time on launch of EC plugin.

Just tried Eye Candy with 128 and it didn't crash, so that might be fixed, but still no usable preview.

Same for Alien Skin's Eye Candy. Can't open at all now. Crashes APh every time.

Beta 125 — Crashes most of the time when EC opens. Can do the filter on one rasterized layer/object, but when trying on a 2nd item, always crashes. Still no usable/accurate preview once within Eye Candy.

Upgraded to 123 and it doesn't seem to crash (based on 2 tests).

Just tried in v123 and didn't get a crash! Fingers crossed!

Tried it a couple more times and it did crash APh once when it tried to open EC. Had to also force quit EC then, but when I reopened and tried the same things, it worked. However, since then it crashes about half the time upon opening of EC filter.

I just tried EC on beta 122 and it does open and I get a rough but inexact preview. But if I apply an effect such as chrome, it did actually apply it. However, it did not create the duplicate layer, so is destructive. But APh didn't crash! Looks like the preview is the main issue, so that is a bit encouraging. Hopefully it can become functional.
