Lots of silent crashes with latest betas While the app doesn't crash "visually" i keep getting these. ================================================== Process File : Photo.exe Event Name : Stopped

Vector brush performance while drawing with "Rope - Thick" and "Chain" presets is horrible. Not that they are critical brushes but ...

Noticed that too.

My Windows colour settings are the same as Alfred's.

Don't think its system colour profile related as it happens with anything other that default srgb used as profile in document, seems that the colour selector does that especially if you drag vertically in it.

Couple of things I noticed so far: - Interface & font rendering feels sharper now, much less blurry & less cleartype artefacts, thanks ! - Better color display ? - No more "system32" default startup folder, also nice ! - Faster app startup, faster document opening, improved responsiveness overall. - Undocking a panel forces the remaining ones to center, overlaping each other or covering one another, same in Photo.

If you want a special colour profile you just have to install it in the system, after that it will be selectable in the application.

The simpler the brush, the faster it will draw. You can "optimize" a brush by increasing the spacing "parameter" this is valid in most graphic software, other than that not much; the rest is hardware and software limit. You can switch to nearest neighbour, disable dither & clipping, fastest retina rendering in performance options and disable "show brush preview" in UI to gain some little extra speed.

The further, the better. :rolleyes:

Color picker does not read anything inside document, (RGB 0,0,0) works if pointed to UI.

I believe there are some cases (like this one) where the functionality is misinterpreted from the phrasing used. Filters like Dust & Scratches or Chromatic Abberation that remove instead of adding as one would read it.

Amen ! Defaulting to "system32" is not cool.

Is your layer "Image" or "Pixel" ? The last one is what you want, as the first one is still a dynamic original and not completely bitmap, for manipulation purposes. You have to rasterize it first from image to a pixel layer and then do the crop.

To use a special color profile, you download the profile you intend to use, then you copy it into ?:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\color\ (assuming windows) then you configure Affinity to use it for your images (in Affinity apps navigate to Edit / Preferences / Color) you can change rendering intent there too. If you just want to check colors, you can just use Softproof Adjustment. For embedding a profile check the "more" tab of the file export options popup and choose there.

Glad you solved it, now its worth pointing that if your monitor(s) have their own drivers (which usually include their custom profile), any video driver change will reset this back and force you to remove it again in control panel. The simpler solution is to just remove any driver for the display(s) and just use the windows generic one (assuming there is no functionality lost that you really need.) this way you'll never need to worry about this.
