I am seeing none of the disastrous effects your screenshots show. Using plain File > Export ... as JPEG Best preset. Nor in the PSD export.
Photo 1.9.0 and Mac OS 10.14.6
Must be a Windows only issue, I guess. Or a Me only issue!

Well, like I said, there was no demand from me that anyone download the AP file. That was just an option in case people wanted to download and play with the file to see if they got the same result and I think people can see what was happening without doing so. Again, sorry it annoyed you but I figured only those with sufficient internet would download it and others wouldn't but now we know your situation!
Thanks for the advice though.

OK. I got the beta and it hasn't been fixed. If I turn of hardware acceleration it works and I don't think I'm seeing a lot of performance improvement if I have it turned on so I guess I'll just leave it turned off. I wonder if a dev will see this or if I should report it elsewhere.

Sorry if it annoyed you that the file was large. I wasn't trying to insist anyone download it! Your suggestion totally worked though. I turned off hardware acceleration and now it seems to work just fine. Thanks! I'll snag that beta too and see if it's fixed.
Thanks again

Hi all, since 1.9 came out, if I save a layered file with an unsharp mask it is coming out all wrong. It looks right in Photo but you can see what happens when I export in the attached files. I turned off curves and saved a JPG and you can see that it is still pixelated but if I turn off the unsharp mask layer it looks right on export. I have added the AFPhoto file at https://www.dropbox.com/s/msu9c8xw788oc4a/Lilly2.afphoto?dl=0 and I hope you can see that.
Are others seeing this too?

Hi all, I have been a photographer and designer for 25 years and I still simply don't understand color pretty much at all. I export from Alien Skin Exposure and take a JPG into Publisher and it looks like the first screenshot. I then look at it in XNView and it looks like the second but the images as they came out of Exposure look right as in screenshot 3. What's going on? Are there any color resources for people for whom the topic makes their head hurt?
Thanks for any help!

Hi @Phil_rose,
This is because Publisher provides aText Frame panel (View > Studio > Text Frame, General section) where you can control the fill and stroke of the text path and text frames, whereas Affinity Designer doesn't offer it.Oh! There we go! Thank you so much!
-
I have worked out why you are getting a different result. If you start in Publisher and go to the Designer persona I get this. The circle does NOT disappear. If I open Designer itself it does. Why would this be, I wonder? And once it's there there is NO way to edit the circle's properties.
-
I did not and it didn't delete my circle. I wonder why that would be.

I don't see any filled circle, just a partly circle white shape outline with text on path.
I just used a part of the image for privacy reasons. The white is part of a circle on the lightning bg.
-
This seems like it must be so simple. I create a filled circle. I add text around it. I now want to change the properties of the filled circle (get rid of the fill) but any way I try it it just changes the settings of the text instead. Can anyone tell me if this is possible? The item in layers is reduced to just a text object after I write on the line.
Thanks!

Oy vey, that looks hard but I'll give it a try. Thanks!

I am going to watch this topic as I want to do something very similar and would love to have titles for all these photographs I want to lay out in a book, one per page, auto populated to a text field beneath each image. I hope someone can explain if this is possible and if so how (in layman's terms!)
Thanks!

Ho dare you? My whelk stand runs like a well oiled machine and that ain't by accident. Long hours and business acumen, sonny.

Oh, absolutely. Serif can do what they like but I think it's worth noting that I still would like it so that that is a +1 for DAM.
-
Having said that I am now checking out iMatch and DigiKal and iMatch does look really good and I may go with that for now since it seems way more able than XNView so thanks for that.

@Phil_rose Why this aggressive tone? Anyway, you don't have to answer.
Because I felt your response was aggressive and commanding. 'Move on' is a pretty belittling and dismissive thing to say to someone who just asked a question. There is an actual reason that I would love to see Serif produce a DAM rather than just using other options.
Anyway, perhaps you didn't mean it that way but that's how it came across. Sorry if I got you wrong.

Just move on. I see that you like Windows 10. Buy iMatch and forget about Serif's DAM, which will never happen, or if it will, it would cost money anyway.
Thanks for your instructions but, as mentioned below, I want Serif to make one that integrates AF files. I currently use XNView which works well but cannot export JPGs from AF Photo.
Feel free to 'move on' yourself but I'd still like to see this happen. Oh, and don't worry about my finances. I bet Serif's version would be less than $129. Thanks!

I'm not able to give any definitive timeline as they are details I am not privy to. Personally I would not expect to see it in 2017, but that does not mean things might not change.
Here we are in 2020. Is there any sign of a DAM? I'd love to see this.

I emailed a link to this thread to them so hopefully they will see here but I'll post it to there too. Thanks!
