When I have someting selected, how can I add more stuff? holding shift and selecting new area, forgets the previous area

Tried with a different one, same res, but about 950MB, same thing. If I lower the res in Photoshopu down to 16000 wide then the file comes down to about 350MB and Affinity opens that no problem, although seems very slow even with that res

It's not RAM, it crashes immediately before anything even gets a chance to try and load. Unfortunately this HDR is under NDA at the moment. It crashes both when dropping into app and also when trying file > open

Dropping a 32-bit HDR image about 911MB and res 21604 X 10802 into this version (and previous versions), I get unhandled Exception Code 0xC0000005 In general the app seems slow and unstable with highres 32bit images

That works fine, thanks James... BUT NOW, How do I add an adjustment layer to a pixel layer, that already has a mask on it? If I do it, the mask get ingored. Seems instead of adding an adjustment layer to a pixel layer, I have to stick it on top and use the same mask for the adjustment layer than what I did for the pixel layer, seems like double work...

I'm on this again... 1) How do I use an alpha channel from 1 file, as a mask on another file? 2) If I have a black and white pixel layer, how can I turn it into a mask?

I can move a selection around and scale it. I see in the left toolbar a perspective tool, but I can't see a skew tool. I have a tile that was taken at an angle, just want to skew it straight...

Thanks, good to know it's coming. Looking forward to it, will make life so much easier Do you perhaps have an idea if it will be somewhere in a next beta or 2, or only much later?

Hi all Is it possible to add layers, with each layer being an external file? For example I will have a 32 bit affinity photo file made up of say 20 layers and their adjustments. The main "pixel" layer, so 20 of those, will actually be external 32bit images. The reason I ask is because I work in CGI and many different renders and "layers". With each new render iteration I will save out from my 3D package 20 EXR files. I open my main affinity photo file and all my layers automatically update from the external rendereded EXR files and I can just svae out a jpg from here. Basically this will save me from manually replacing the 20 layers in affinity, with each new render of the same image. Render, open affinity, save to jpg, done

Hi Team Loving Affinity Photo so far, great job on the development! Is it possible to to do non destructive Tone Mapping? So far it doesnt look like it, or I havent figured out how yet. Would be nice to be able to add it as an adjustment layer for example? I mostly do linear 32bit CGI work and going back and forth non destructively is a major plus point. Each render is different and I won't be able to remember all the different presets I used on various images. Saving a preset for each image I work is a bit much. If the file I'm working on can "remember" what I did, like with adjustment layers, would be a BONUS! Is this at all possible?

It appears as if the picker remains active after closing the white balance adjustment. Only the 3rd click disables it, but then the damage is done :-)

Hi all When in a 32bit image and adding a white balance adjustment layer, then using the picker to get "white" works as expected, but then when you switch the adjustment layer on and off or go to another layer and back to that layer, the picker colors are lost. When you go into the white balance, the values are like it was picked with the picker, but it doesn't affect anything. To make it work I have to adjust the balance and tint 1% left of what it is now...

The same happens when I'm panning around. It pans fine, then suddenly it freezes for about 3 or 4 seconds, then I can go again

Hi all On a high res image, there's constantly some kind of delay between selecting one part of an image, moving it, and selecting a new part. Also, when you want 1 part to snap to the other, then both need to be in the view when you start to move, otherwise the snap gets confused

Hi all It seems there's a bunch of limitations with the macro recorder, or I'm just over optimistic of what I'm expecting it to do. For example: I often need to do the following on a long very high res image. - flip the layer horizontal divide the lenght into 12 bits chop up each bit into it's own layer and call each layer a unique name Rotate 4 of the layers 180 reposition each layer top left. Crop the lot so I have "1" tile of the 12 (basically 12 layers on top of each other)

Thanks guys It's a bit strange as its different to what I'm use to, will take some time to get use to it. Easy when you know how. Thanks guys!

I figured out how. You 1st make a greyscale layer from it. Now I can't figur out how to use that as a mask. Copying the layer and trying to paste it when "editing mask", just pastes a new layer on top, not into the mask I can draw in the mask etc, but not paste anything into it

Hi all I can't figure out how to copy just the R or G or B channel from a 32bit image that only contain red green and blue colors. In photoshop I would just go to channels and select the channel I want for example BLUE (this gives me a pure black and white image, basically an alpha), then I can go to the layers and either paste it as a normal layer, or paste it into a layer adjustments as a mask. Help please!

When selecting or when I want to crop, the snap doesnt seem to work to snap to area with pixel info on a layer. It snaps to the end of the canvas, but if I have a layer filling the canvas and on that layer is only a small square in the middle of the layer, then the crop snap doesnt snap to the dge of that square. I've switched on ALL snapping I could find in Snapping Manager

Hi all When selecting an area, how can I delete or erase it? Hitting del on keyboard deletes the layer. Alt+Backspace is not available Also, is it possible to do it across all layers simultaneously?
