Hello. As in the title: I have several layers - some live filters, some pixel, some adjustments and others. I want to create new layer on top of them, that looks like those layers below. AFAIR in PS/PC there were shortcuts ctrl-alt-shift-N (new layer) and next ctrl-alt-shift-E (fill layer with content of visible layers). Any other method than "copy flattened" and pasting into new layer? Regards.

Thank You.

I noticed a bug (?) with the blending options for adjustment layers (namely curves that control blending according to the adjustment of the source/base layer). When these options are applied to the adjustment, it will work. However, when a mask is added to a layer, the options are ignored (regardless of the curve shape set). This applies to both the options set in the layers panel and the correction type options (e.g. curves layer panel have this setting in the lower right corner). For bitmap layers, the mask and blend options work as expected.

Thank You for the tips. I'll also try to generate new profiles (I use colormunki photo). Will let know about results.

No, image was developed in Capture One. This what is shown is only difference between Affinity2 Vs others in a way it displays ready tiff image.

Hello. I have 2 monitor setup (laptop with external monitor), and I've noticed that Affinity 2 displays more vivid colours than Affinity 1 and Photoshop CS6 (I think other apps are works like A1/Ps. Both displays were calibrated and has custom color profiles. System is Windows 10. Affinity 2 was downloaded today (don't have exact version number). Both versions of Affinity are with exactly the same color settings. Image shown has aRGB profile. Any suggestions?

There are numerous publications on the depth estimation subject. Many uses convolutional neural networks, which is machine learning class algorithm rather than AI. Whatever "engine" uses our Affinity, I think that utilization of KNN is not impossible.

Hi. Nice and very informative (with help of little reverse engineering ). However, when this macro is executed for image with little to no haze, the resultant mask seems to not show the depth... Result may indicate that the macro (and dehaze filter itself) estimates amount of haze rather than the scene depth.

Hello. I think that it might be a cool feature of the "haze removal" to create a layer's mask, instead of modifying the layer content. I assume that this plugin does scene depth estimation. I so, it should be possible to generate mask with levels corresponding to the estimation results. This mask could be use with levels, curves and other tools (or other bitmap layers). Regards. BitPC

I can confirm this issue. RGB file looks the same, CMYK file looks different (Affinity displays more saturated image).

Checking this filter I've done an assumption, that median blur is implementation of one of a "classical" 2-d median filter algorithms. My first observation: Filter's slider shows values with one decimal position accuracy. What does "1,7 px" radius mean? It looks like program truncates (or performs round operation), but here is little confusion. My second observation: Preview of the resultant image with scale different than 100% is little weird. When this scale is eg. 75% then median with "0px" diameter shows some changes in the image preview (aka "after"). Considering my assumption, "0px" should not change the image at all. And in fact, it does not, but preview does - I can see some subtle changes in preview (something like "pixelization" of edges etc.) that are vanishing when "0pix" filter is applied (image looks like not modified). Is it bug or only my program? I can replicate this issue with latest beta an production version, regardless thevcolor model (checked RGB/8, RGB/16, CMYK).

Still requires to rasterize the image if I want to use inpainting brush to fill corners of a image straightened with the crop tool ("straighten" button of the crop tool).

C1 + AP is (i hope) the workflow of the future :)

Thanks, there is echo but with big delay :) Rasterize helped, inpaint semes to work o'k now. Not sure what rasterize does for layer being marked as "pixel", but it cured problem. I hope it will be fixed in the release version.

"Portrait - format" image (From Canon EOS REBEL T5) opens as "landscape" in NIK Colorefex. error is present since first release of beta.
