How to add a background
harrym replied to Chintan's topic in Tutorials (Staff and Customer Created Tutorials)
Your deleted area is transparent so create a new raster layer, put it below your background layer and paste new image or gradient/colour to the new layer but the trick is to make it look natural though and that might look a bit false so check out this video -
Hi Michael, Skye is proper civilisation, it's everywhere else that's got it wrong!! :D Regards

File Save as and Export should be merged
harrym replied to rzozaya1969's topic in Older Feedback & Suggestion Posts
Actually I think the Export option should be removed altogether, that's what the Export Persona is for and it's well designed! 'Save As' is fine. I find the design of the Export dialogue a bit of a curiosity, doesn't really fit in with the rest of the UI to my eyes and does cause confusion with users going by previous posts. I also suspect that rationalising all Export options to the Export Persona would fit better with future DAM software. Regards -
Hi MIchael, I have W10 Home, up to date (Not much choice!) It's difficult to reproduce a hung process but my machine is a bit rubbish so it's easy for me to throw AP a task that gets the 'Affinity Photo (Not Responding)' message. Not sure if that's a valid comparison to your issue. Anyway when I Ctrl+Alt+Del while that 's going on Task Manager is slow to respond but it does respond. My understanding is that it's not APs responsibility to respond to a Ctrl+Alt+Del request it's the OS's. If your OS isn't responding then there is no resource left for it to work with. I have 16GB of cheap RAM and have set AP to only be allowed to use 13, always leaving 2 for the OS and anything else. (you never get to use the full amount. May be worth trying to tweak that preference? Regards

Hi Chris, Untitled.jpg came through to the 'Save As' dialogue for a new file. I'm pretty sure I've worked out what's going on, it's a bit of an edge case to be filed under b****y users! :D Because there was a warning on the latest beta about file format compatibility I take a copy of any file I want to work on so I have the original I can open with the release version just in case. So I prefixed the copy with '.71_' yip the dots the issue. A dot anywhere in the file name truncates everything to the right of it. Interestingly as I had no idea off the top of my head how office deals with this I checked and it's ok with that char in the 'Save As' Regards

Hi Chris, I can add a name in and all is ok. There is no issue with the Export command itself just the the default file name is missing in the Save As dialogue. I would expect the name to come through from the project file by default. Therefore not a big issue at all, just thought it worth logging. Happens with all existing docs, don't think I tried with a new one will do so when I get home. Also didn't try just saving without the file name as I would assume that not to work but I see why you would ask, some tester me eh :) Again I'll try when I get home. Thanks Regards

Hi, When I select jpg in Export command the 'Save As' dialogue default file name is missing. Regards Edit: Oh and thanks for the DPI issue fix on the Export command and Export persona, didn't realise that had been fixed until just now!

Trial Expired
harrym replied to voxann's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Can this be caused by the system date time being wrong? -
What windows version are you on?

Ah cheers Alfred, it was 'Redo' I thought the tooltip was telling me what to do not what the issue was! :D Regards

Well added Crtl+A to 'Select All' (which was blank) and it's working now! no idea if I've broken anything else in doing that but I'm sure I'll find out soon enough :) I also removed Crtl+A from 'Select All' and it stopped working so it would seem that is the fix although Mark's comment above may suggest something else is going on. @Chris Edition: Windows 10 Home Version: 1607 OS Build: 14393.1198 Regards

Ah! that's a really good shout dominik I recently set up some ctrl+ zoom settings maybe I typo'd will check when I get home. (This would also explain how the release version does work for me) Regards
-
Hi Dominik, tried your file, All clicking options to select text work but Ctrl+A doesn't work. Exactly the same as my file test. I think you are correct there must be something else involved, a system/AV setting or something maybe, going to do a bit of googling :) PS On screen keyboard doesn't work either so its not a keyboard fault. Regards

Can confirm changing windows DPI scaling percentage causes this pixilation. On a large image it does actually render a portion but just seems to stop. You do get a warning - Some apps won't respond to scaling changes until you sign out. Doing so doesn't fix the issue, going back to 100% (my default) does. Regards

Hi dominik, I'll try that file wen I get home. Regards

Interesting, on AP beta .71 All clicking options to select text work for me but Ctrl+A doesn't work. Edit: Ctrl+A does work in release AP 1.5.2.69 so for me this is a bug in beta .71

Affinity Photo Customer Beta - 1.6.0.71
harrym replied to Mark Ingram's topic in [ARCHIVE] Photo beta on Windows threads
Just installed AP .71 No issues with install Large (2.7+ Gb).afphoto documents load MUCH faster, really fast actually! zooming and panning on same files again much faster. Not getting the issue with pixelated displays at 100% + zooms as has been reported by others. As others have reported "Apply" and "Cancel" text is missing in the buttons but the commands still work, just text missing. Not fussed with the light UI, don't like it TBH, switched back :) options are always good though so happy for those that requested it. Looking forward to doing my usual WF tests this week. Feels like real progress, thanks AP guys! Regards
