AML / David 1. Deleted AI Gigapixel. 2. Upgraded Sharpen AI to v1.4.5. 3. Removed Sharpen from Photoshop Plugins directory. 4. Loaded your file path exactly as you provided with spaces between certain words with . . . /contents . . . and without . . . /contents . . . restarted the app both times . . . still not working. 5. I think I have the Stand Alone App installed . . . I can’t find a Plug In App at the TOPAZ website . . . does one exist? If there is a separate Plug In App that is probably where the problem lies. Thank you for your assistance! Best, V G

AML / David Hi Thank you very much for your response and apologies for not responding yet . . . been very busy. I have played around with it a bit but still have not yet achieved a solution. Hopefully I will get some time with it this weekend. One question tho . . . is there a Plugin download? I downloaded the Standalone app and that is what I am trying to use. I can't find a Plugin download on the TOPAZ site? Best, V G

AML Thank you for your input and detailed comments. Here is a screen shot of what my plug in panel is showing . . . I think part of the issue may be that I have loaded what may be stand alone apps rather than plugin specific apps. My Plugin Search Folders are displaying differently than yours are. In AP > Filters > Plugins > Topaz Labs > only Adjust AI . . . Impression 2 . . . and Sharpen AI display. Adjust AI seems to work OK . . . but Imp 2 an ShAI don't work. Any suggestions as to how to rectify? I think I may have loaded the apps incorrectly or loaded the wrong apps? Your assistance is greatly appreciated! Best, V G

On my iMac Retina 5K [Mojave 10.14.6] I recently purchased TOPAZ Sharpen AI v1.4.4 and loaded into the AFFINITY Photo 1.7.3 plugins [correctly I think]. When I go to Filters > Plugins > Topaz Labs > Topaz Sharpen AI the plugin loads but does not function . . . I can change the settings and click on update preview but nothing changes . . . I still see the original image with no change . . . nothing I adjust will create any change in the image. I have other TOPAZ plugins which will load and function . . . but the Sharpen AI plugin seems to load ok but does not function. Any assistance here to get me functioning would be greatly appreciated! Best, V G

JD Thanks for your input. I will post in your suggested forum as well. Best, V G

MP Thanks for your input . . . I will check at the TOPAZ end. Best, V G

fd and PP Thank you for your input. The perspective tool seems to do the job although I find it more cumbersome and difficult to deal with than the system used by other editors where you connect two points in each of two parallel lines to establish your parallel lines. Perhaps with practice and experience I will become more adept with it. Thanks for your input . . . greatly appreciated! Best, V G

Does AFFINITY PHOTO have a function or technique to force parallel two elements you want to align . . . say the vertical edges of a building . . . so that the building is aligned and plumb? Can't seem to find anything and most photo editors have that function. Thx, V G

Hi All Discovered solutions to my own question. There is an Inpainting selection option under the Edit tab so instead of going . . . Edit > Fill > Inpainting [in Fill window]. I can simply go . . . Edit > Inpaint . . . saving a step. Or simply make the selection then use the shortcut . . . option > delete . . . even faster! Best, V G

Hi All Affinity Photo / Mac / Mojave 10.14.6 When I make a selection with the Freehand Selection Tool . . . then choose Edit . . . then choose Fill . . . then choose Inpainting in the Fill window . . . every time I do this process with a new image I have to select the Inpainting option . . . is there a way to set the Inpainting option as the default so that I don't have to do the extra click and make this selection every time? Thanks, V G

bleduc Yes agreed . . . and my bad for not clarifying on my original post . . . rookie mistake . . . :(! Alternatively one could precede one's post with . . . AF: or AP: or the forum could have an AF thread and an AP thread . . . lots of options. Thanks for your comments and input! Best, V G

Ronny & Alfred Thank you for clarifying! Hopefully at some point in time this option will be implemented. Best, V G

Hi All Thank you all for your input and responses but I must apologize because being very green with the program I incorrectly worded and used incorrect terminology in my original question. I am not trying to reverse the Split view window but rather trying to reverse the Mirror view windows. In Develop mode . . . with the Mirror view active and two full images . . . I get the After image on the viewer's left side of the browser . . . and the Before image on the viewer's right side of the browser. This seems counter intuitive to me as one normally reads from left to right and all my other browsers with before and after images show the before image on the left side of the viewer's browser and the after image on the right side of the viewer's browser. Is it possible to reverse the images so the before image is on the viewer's left and the after image is on the viewer's right? Again . . . apologies for the confusion I have created . . . and I hope I have clarified what I am trying to achieve! Thanks to all for all assistance provided! Best, V G

Hi B Thanks for the response and info. I'm new on this program so bear with me . . . I've got the two indicators . . . and found the context toolbar . . . but not seeing any view there to click on??? Can you give me another little nudge please! Thank you. Best, V G
