Hi, I'm trying set the colour balance on two photos to match to compare two different cameras. How do I set it to a precise figure like 6K? I'm using V1 Affinity Photo. I'm sure it must be very simple. Cheers!

For instance: "Fields" panel > "Document Statistics" > "Path:"
Or: compare the modification dates in the Finder/Explorer.For V1 on mac it was requested years ago to get the default mac feature that displays the file path with a right click on a document's name in the title bar or tab. I don't know if it was implemented in V2.
Yeah, I'm using V1. Thanks

How do I display the file path of the file I'm working on in the workspace? I have files with same name in different folders and it gets confusing.

Is it now possible to resize in mm using a defined dpi in version 2?

Since Affinity Photo 2 I only use linked RAW files. If you don't make any changes that require a pixel layer (stick to layer filters and masks) the linked file is usually less than 1MB. There is a small, sidecar XMP file. An equivalent embedded RAW file can be 200MB or more. If I need to make destructive changes I tend to save as jpg, unless I have done something long and complicated that I may wish to modify, in which case I have the odd embedded RAW afphoto file. This way I keep my original RAW files, which are usually around 25MB, can see most changes in a small linked file, with a small number of bigger files (or possibly jpegs) for more complex work.
Is this a version 2 feature? It sounds similar to RawTherapee where the settings are saved in a sidecar file.

Why is the native Affinity Photo file size so humungous? I have a .dng file which is 26.9MB when I save it it becomes 292.5MB. The file has only 4 flat layers. It's even bigger than a .psd file.

Is there a way to prevent the document resizing to fill the screen after you resize a document in Affinity Photo? If you're working on icons it's annoying when they become massive after resizing.

Basically I don't think you can do it. If you have an object filled with a Pantone color and select it there's no way of knowing what the Pantone is as far as I can see? Which seems dumb.

Any update on this, when you're working on files locally and Dropbox it can get confusing as to which one you're editing. Simple things like this can be annoying. Maybe have an option to show the full path or just filename in the tab header?

Has to be one of the most unintuitive tools I've ever used. How do you move the crosshair about the screen?

I'm struggling with AP with adjusting individual layers. I have a photo of a car where I want to try showing different coloured wheels so I trace the wheels and paste into new layers. When I try to adjust the exposure of the wheel layers it changes the exposure for the whole picture - not helpful. So I go to reselect to isolate a wheel and apply adjustment and it works, just the wheel is changed. But when I select next wheel layer and go to Reselect it reselects the wheel I've just altered! So how do I tell it to reselect the last selection of the layer I'm currently working in? I know in Photoshop it remembers the selection from the layer you are working in.

Retried the next day and it worked.

Ok, I was trying to download from the popup window on startup. I've now signed in and they downloaded from within my account.

Hi, I downloaded the free brushes for Designer from my Affinity account but they didn't appear in my downloads folder. Where do they actually go, and how do I know I've got them? I'm used to manually installing software.
Thanks!

Thanks, I was looking under the Preferences > User Interface.

Hi, why is it that when you select a grouping of objects in Designer then click off there's a purple glow animation? I find it distracting and a bit unnecessary.
-
Where is the vignette filter, I thought it was under Layer > New Live Filter Layer menu? I've selected the layer and it's an RGB JPG but the option isn't there?
-
OK, I think I've found the culprit lol. Somehow I had the clipping alarms switched on, doh!

Thanks, changing the RAW engine to Apple Core has improved the matter a lot, but still a few white pixels hanging around. However, now I also have a couple of blue line artefacts - see attached picture. I suspect it's Sony's aggressive lossy RAW compression that is the culprit, but other raw engines don't have this issue.
Interestingly when I open a Fuji RAF files it doesn't like it at all! See second attachment. I don't remember having these issues before. -

Yep, ability to edit the copyright field in the EXIF would be good.

Doh, why didn't I see that! Thanks, I'm using too many programs these days
