Hello,
We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of the first build of Affinity Photo 1.9.4 for macOS.
If this is your first time using a customer beta of an Affinity app, it’s worth noting that the beta will install as a separate app - alongside your store version. They will not interfere with each other at all and you can continue to use the store version for critical work without worry.
This beta is an incremental update to the 1.9.3 version recently released to all customers (although it still installs parallel to the released version, as described above). We recommend that you use this beta in preference to the store version if you are affected by any of the issues listed below.
The 1.9.4 beta will have a performance focus as we circle back to clean up some inefficiencies which have crept in over time. If you notice performance improvements (or regressions!) over 1.9.3, or if you notice rendering bugs which appear to have been introduced in 1.9.4, please let us know.
Affinity Photo Team  
 
Changes Since 1.9.3
 
- Added a new "median" mode to the frequency separation filter.
- The gradient map adjustment now has a GPU implementation.
- Restored the GPU rendering improvements which were dropped towards the end of the 1.9.2 beta. The benchmark version is once again set to 1920.
- Improve performance when manipulating the selected layer immediately after loading a document.
- Significant performance improvements in low-memory situations, reducing use of the swap file.
- Panorama stitching performance improvements.
- Significant performance improvements for documents which contain flattened, opaque layers (usually the result of merge visible).
- Render EXIF exposure time as decimal if above 1.
- Fixed F-number always showing as "f/0" for Leica M-series cameras (and others).
- Fixed issue whereby LUTs would incorrectly report "Identity" as the description.
- Fixed potential crash when quitting with layers still on the clipboard.
- Fixed performance issues with CMYK documents when GPU acceleration is enabled.
- Assorted small fixes.
- Localisation improvements.
 

Working fine now! No more crashes. Well done

Hello,
We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of the final build of Affinity Photo 1.9.2 for macOS.
If this is your first time using a customer beta of an Affinity app, it’s worth noting that the beta will install as a separate app - alongside your store version. They will not interfere with each other at all and you can continue to use the store version for critical work without worry.
This beta is an incremental update to the 1.9.1 version recently released to all customers (although it still installs parallel to the released version, as described above). We recommend that you use this beta in preference to the store version if you are affected by any of the issues listed below.
Affinity Photo Team  
 
Changes Since 1.9.2.229
 
- The recent Metal changes have a couple of undesirable side effects. We have disabled them for the shipping version of 1.9.2. They will get cleaned up and reintroduced in the next beta cycle. This means the benchmark version remains at 1900 for 1.9.2.
- Fix potential crashes on M1 devices (introduced earlier in the 1.9.2 beta).
- Enforce ISO country code character limit.
- Fixed crashes with malformed ICC profiles.
- Improved the reliability of panorama stitching.
- Fixed bugs which were preventing Unsplash stock page items from working.
- Improved PSD import from recent versions of PS.
- Output levels (in the levels adjustment layer) are now correctly exported to / imported from PSD.
- Fixed missing EXIF data for EOS 300D RAW.
- Fixed a HEIC crash.
- Assorted tweaks to the new LUT import / export features.
- Assorted small fixes.
- Localisation improvements.
- Help improvements.
 
Changes Since 1.9.1

- Added ability to organise LUT adjustment presets, including support for multiple categories and import / export as “.afluts” files.
- Added ability to drag / drop all adjustment presets to reorder them.
- Added support for OpenType reverse chaining contextual single substitutions.
- Significant performance improvements for assets (import, export, organisation, etc.).
- Typography panel performance improvements.
- Minor improvements to Gaussian Blur performance when GPU is enabled.
- Assorted visual fixes in the adjustments panel.
- Further fixes for deadlocks with multiple GPUs.
- Restored ability to plug an eGPU in while the app is running.
- Fixed issues introduced in build 227 for users with multiple GPUs.
- Fixed occasional screen corruption introduced in build 227.
- Fixed potential deadlock issue when loading large files.
- Fixed assorted small registration page issues.
- Fixed the size of the “General” section in preferences.
- Fixed localisation issues in preferences.
- Fixed inability to add / rename / delete export presets.
- Fixed issue where UI would remain hidden when a studio page was enabled from the menu.
- Hardware acceleration has been improved to better make use of Metal (specifically to batch commands together into chunks, which gives the driver a better chance to optimise commands and provides a higher degree of abortability). The benchmark has also been tweaked to use multiple command queues for the Single GPU test, which makes it more representative of “real world” use.
This change affects both real-world performance and benchmark score. The benchmark version has been changed to 1920 - this means that results from this build should not be compared to results from previous builds with benchmark version 1900 (other than to measure the improvements which these changes yield). Once the iPad and Windows builds have been validated with these changes and new beta builds produced, a new forum thread will be created for 1920 benchmark results.
- Assorted performance improvements for assets.
- Assorted content download improvements and fixes.
- Added ability to optionally sort brushes by name.
- Improved performance of export and merge visible, especially in documents with Live Filters.
- Fixed a crash when using File -> Share after File -> Export.
- Fixed a bug where some Live Filters would appear to move after save / load.
- Fixed a crash when opening a brush category context menu with no selection.
- Fixed a bug which caused adjustment to fail to apply easily when clicking with a stylus.
- Assorted other small fixes.
- Localisation improvements.

(NOTE: This thread was originally posted in this Announcement thread, but it was split off by a moderator when replies to it turned into it's own topic)
Thanks in advance for the fixes! At this time i'm writing the updates are still not available in the MAS, but the Publisher from the Affinity Store was updated without problems this morning! Keep them coming!

Sorry @Dazmondo77 can't help with that, but i have the apps updated now, maybe 3 hours ago i've reloaded the updates page in the MAS store. Something about 700MB each. I'm on Big Sur with one M1 Apple silicon chip.

Same here

We are pleased to announce that Affinity Publisher Customer Beta 1.9.0.911 is now available as a download from the link above.
If this is your first time using a customer beta of an Affinity app, it’s worth noting that the beta will install as a separate app - alongside your store version. They will not interfere with each other at all and you can continue to use the store version for critical work without worry.
This beta is significant update from the 1.8 version available for purchase - we strongly recommend that you do not use this beta for real work as data could be lost and the files you save are not guaranteed to open in previous or future versions of Affinity Publisher.
