Hi, I was wondering if someone can help me. I bought some cloud brushes and I was wondering how I can add some adjustments layers to the brush. I’ve tried adding a new pixel layer and brush the cloud on that layer. I created a group for the pixel layer and try to add some adjustments layers and the only one that has an effect is the white balance adjustment. I can use the effects like the gradient or the gaussian blur but I can’t figure out how to add adjustments layers. I also tried with a mask with no results. First is it possible to do it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Hi @artofmtl,
Yes, theoretically running in emulation should be slower than running the app natively, but it should affect your workflow noticeably.Thank you

Hi @artofmtl,
Go to the Applications folder, right-click the Affinity Photo app, select Get Info then tick Open Using Rosetta in the General section to force Affinity Photo to run as an Intel application instead (to ensure compatibility with photoshop plugins). This should make it work.
Hi @MEB Its working by using Rosetta. Thank you

Hi Meb, I will try that but by doing this losing am I the speed of the Universal version? Thank you

I have try to install the plugins by following the instructions at https://help-nikcollection4.dxo.com/install_activate and it does not work. I uninstalled Nik Collection and reinstalled it and it still does not work. I have installed the plugins in Applications/Nik Collection/Dxo. When I open a tif file in Affinity Photo and try to use Silver Efex or Viveza nothing is happening. I have the last version of Big Sur on a Mac Mini M1. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

If you have macros on Windows, can you export them and use them on Mac? Thanks

Hi @artofmtl,
Apologies for the delayed response here, many thanks for all the information provided!
I'm very glad to hear this is now working for you, however I agree it's certainly strange that it was not working previously.
I wonder if disabling and reenabling this option changed the GPU in use from the Intel HD 530 (where OpenCL was crashing) to your GTX 1060 (where OpenCL is working as expected). I will inform our development team regarding this, should we have any further issues from customers with multiple GPU options.
I'm certainly hopeful that you shouldn't experience any further issues here, but should you have any questions or possible problems with the app, please don't hesitate to post here
So far so good, thank you.

FL 11_1 on my Intel iGPU, and 11_0 on the Quadro M2000M.
That's unfortunate. Mine says 12_1 and 12_0 from January 21 2021.

It's a shame, I was hoping it'd greatly benefit but I'm going to miss out until hopefully they add an alternative method to this acceleration. I made the move to Affinity for better performance and GPU usage from Photoshop CS5, but even here I'm missing the acceleration.
You should run Dxdiag to see the feature levels that you have. Yesterday it was not working on my PC and today its working.

@artofmtl, I don't think it is the case your video card is "incompatible". What was apparent in the beta testing forum was that the hardware acceleration is sometimes sensitive to the hardware being used. My advice would be to ensure that you are using the latest drivers. I would guess that the Affinity Team are looking at this one closely
Thank you for your comments. Yesterday I installed the last drivers before installing Photo. Look at my new post Windows Enable OpenCL Hardware Acceleration because today its working.

Yesterday I installed the 1.9 version of Photo and enable OpenCL Hardware Acceleration and every time I open an image Photo would crash so I uncheck the option and everything was fine. But this morning I ran the app Dxdiag and it show me the version of the Feature Levels on my video card (GeForce GTX 1060). As you can see my card supports Feature Levels 12_1 and 12_0. So there is no reason why it does not work. So I tried again enabling the option once again and now its working, I don't know why but its working.

Hello @caubeyron,
It appears from other threads that the incorporation of OpenCL into 1.9 may possibly be causing performance issues. You can turn it off via Edit > Preferences > Performance and uncheck Hardware Acceleration. APhoto will restart when you close the dialog. I have done this myself due to slow performance and it has resolved.
Every time I was opening a Raw file Affinity Photo would crash. I uncheck Hardware Acceleration and now everything is fine. I guess my video card (GForce GTX 1060) is not compatible..

I posted this message in the wrong version on the software is Designer. Thank you for the new version of Affinity Photo and If you don't mind I have a question. First I am new to Mac. On Windows I know that if I download the last version it will upgrade Affinity Photo. On my Mac I have Affinity Photo version 1.8.6. If I download the version 1.9 and double click on it is it going to update the 1.8.6 just like in Windows. Thank you for your help.

HI Folks.. I'm very new to Affinity and I'm doing my very best to learn, I've never used P/S or Affinity ever and i'm struggling. When I click on the clone/ or object removal tool, ( looks like a band aid) I get a message saying, click y( or something similar) to select a specific point before using the brush... I try but just can't work it out.. Any advice is greatly appreciated.. Thank you.. Neville....
If you want to learn how to use those tools look at this web site http://www.miguelboto.com/affinity/photo/video-tutorials/ there are some videos on how to use the cloning and inpainting tool and much more.

Congratulations!

You can have a look at this web site http://www.miguelboto.com/affinity/photo/video-tutorials/ there is a section on Document/Image Resizing and on Printing whether you are on Mac on Windows.

Hi, thank you for the update. Last night when I launched Affinity Photo I had a new version. Is it the same one? Thank you

You can use the Inpainting tool and sometimes in combination with the Clone tool

Resize Document Before Editing or After is Ok
in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)

Hi everyone, I want to resize my picture by making the document a little bigger. So my question is « Is it better to resize the document before adding layers or it does not matter if you do it after development ». I have done after all the settings and everything looks good but I would like to have your opinion. Thank you
