Its not nly cropping either. Any adjustments are not taken into Nik. The only way of getting them there is to flatten the image first.

Yes, it is obviously a problem with the interface but it doesn't happen with PS or others software and its not a problem with Colour efex pro or HDR Efex. So I'm just going to have to lump it I suppose. I'll start looking at other software.

I'm working on a Mac Book Pro and when I try to edit a file - RAW or TIFF in Viveza the images shows in the main screen as washed out although the loupe view appears to be correct. In addition to this Affinity is still exporting the original file to NIk rather than the adjusted one so for example if I crop it in Affinity the whole photo appears in Nik - all modules. I do like Affinity Photo but this has been an ongoing problem for months and it seems that Serif have no interest at all in sorting the problem out. I may have to move to On1 or similar. A response from the company would be good but they seem not to be bothered.

Tried again to load the pano in Tone map and it loaded without problem and I was able to adjust it. Took about a minute. Strange.

This seems to work

Just tried saving it first as a jpg and then using that in Tone mapping persona and that works

I am trying to tone map a panorama image made up of 5 images processed through Affinity Photo panorama but when I put it into the tone mapping persona nothing happens. I just see the same image and neither slider affects the image. I can try with individual files and there is no problem. Is it due to file size? Any suggestions welcome

Did you ever resolve this because I have exactly the same problem. I have raised it previously and I know I'm not alone but nothing seems to have been done to fix it

Thanks

I'm obviously missing something simple here but how do you crop non destructively? Once I have cropped an image and then gone on to the next stage I cannot find a way to go back and remove that crop (or reduce the area cropped) without losing all the intervening work I have done

Thanks for pointing that out Astromax. Lets hope they will correct it soon

This problem has only just started it seems. When I import a Raw file it is very underexposed compared to looking at it in any other software - see attached. You can see the difference in the histogram compared to the in camera version. I'm shooting on an Olympus giving .ORF files All files are the same they appear about a stop to a stop and a half under exposed. I've tried changing the RAW engine to Apple but can see no difference.

Thanks. Still loving the software though!

I have previously written about the fact that when opening an image in Nik it opens the full image rather than accepting the cropping I have done in Affinity but I've now found that with some images it opens with the image as a landscape profile rather than a portrait. Any other software I open it in and its fine, its as it should be - portrait. As with the cropping problem if I Flatten the image (even if I have done nothing to it) then it opens as it should in portrait orientation. Has anyone else come across this problem and is it proposed to solve the previous issue of processing the uncropped image?

Are there plans to add it?

I am trying to add Piccure as a plug in but cannot seem to get Affinity Photo to recognise it. I've added Nik filters and they work well. Does Affinity support this plugin? If so can anyone tell me which search folders and support folders I should be pointing to or indeed how to do it?

Hi I've done that. Also I would mention I converted the file in RawTherapee to jpg and tiff 8bit and 16bit and in each case the images opened without any problem! Merry Christmas David

Not sure what the problem is but I have tried to open an image after processing it in Piccure and Affinity Photo will only show it as per the attached file. It opens perfectly in Photoshop and I have processed other images from the same memory card successfully in Affinity but had the same problem on another photo of my dog! Any ideas? Happy Christmas everyone, love the software!

Ah right, yes that does it although as I say in my previous post I do like to clone from one to the other too.

Possibly but sometimes I will clone the eyes from one image to the other so need the functionality there. I know I can copy and paste it across as an alternative but the function is there on Photoshop so I would have thought it could be done here.

I'm on a Mac. If I click on Separated mode all that happens is that all individual parts of the screen become detached from each other and can be moved around individually. I did raise this as a query when I originally started using Affinity and was told that the side by side viewing of images was not available and I should raise it here.

Is it possible to add a feature so that I can look at two images at the same time/side by side and zoom in on them? Its very useful if I have two similar photos (say portraits) and I want to examine to see which looks sharpest/best expression etc

Yes thats fine except that I do use the frames in the Nik plug ins and therefore loose them when the filter is applied or just get part of them depending how I have cropped the image

I posted this 5 days ago and no response. Is no one else using Nik plug ins?
