[Right click context menu for layers.]

Please can you put back the "merge visible" etc options for the layer right click menus. They are missing now from adjustment layers etc. 

I use them all of the time.

Cheers. Scott.

Fantastic. 

Affinity Photo 2 installed and working. No problems.

The updates are well worth the money. Especially the non destructive raw files and the new hue/luminosity masks.

I'm sure the other added features will come in useful too once I explore them.

Well done and thank you to the team.

[Curves adjustment point snapping]

Thanks for getting back to me. As a software developer for over 35 years I realise what you have to go through 😀

I hope you manage to fix these little problems soon as though they are small it is these types of things that make a product feel shoddy.

Affinity Photo is not shoddy of course. It is a superb product. I have total respect for what the team have accomplished. 

Cheers. Scott.

 

 

 

[Curves adjustment point snapping]

This needs fixing. The curves tool is THE most important and useful tool available.

Also when you pick a curve point using the picker on the image it doesn't place the picked point on the curve until you move your mouse a few pixels. This is not exactly broken but it does look shoddy. The point should appear as soon as you select the point on your image.

[Curves adjustment point snapping]

On the curves adjustment I am not able to perform fine movements of the points I am adding.

If you add a point and try to move it then it will stay in the same position until the mouse pointer is a few pixels away from the original position that I placed the point.

After this you will not be able to move the point to within a few pixels of the placement position. It will snap and skip over it.

It prevents fine control of the curves, or at least makes it more difficult.

Am I missing a setting or something?

[Affinity Photo Windows Customer Beta - 1.9.0.820]

There seems to be a problem with the curves tool. It snaps the curve as you move your mouse over the point where you placed a node.

As far as I’m aware, AltGr (the right-hand Alt key on a European Windows keyboard) has always been equivalent to Ctrl + (left-hand) Alt.

Hello,
I'm using the same version as you and me, no combination works with the mouse: alt + l / r or alt + r.
Thanks for your help,
Pierre

ctrl+left alt + left mouse

or

right alt + left mouse.

[Left alt brush size]

My error.

I see. It is just the new behaviour. Though the left and right alt buttons are behaving differently. When using the right alt I don't need to use control to change the params.

 

[Left alt brush size]

I can no longer change the paint brush size or hardness with the left alt+l/r mouse. Only the right alt is working. I have tried this on both of my machines with the same result.

I'm using the latest version .1.8.4.693 on windows 10.

That's part of the NVIDIA driver.

It sure is. 

I have gone backwards though the game ready drivers today. The latest one to work for me is 442.74. Any game ready drivers after that one one don't work. So I will just stick with that one for now.

According to the event viewer affinity photo is crashing in nvwgf2umx.dll

[Constant crashing]

I've just tested on my other machine with same os, drivers and graphics card. It has an old i5 processor rather than the ryzen 5 3600 in my dev machine. 

The nvidia settings are exactly the same and there is no crash.

What driver version are you using? Is it the Studio or Game-Ready drivers?

I'm using the game ready at the moment but I have tried the studio with the same results. 

Driver version 451.67

[Constant crashing]

I recently upgraded my graphics card to a 1660 super. Affinity photo is constantly crashing when I use recent drivers. If I roll back to drivers from last year then everything is fine.

I am on Windows 10 64 bit. 

It usually happens when loading any image. It seems to be when the image has loaded and it tries to display the image.

Sometimes when loading a raw file it does not happen until I hit develop. It is fine until it tries to display the image and then it crashes.

If I turn off hardware acceleration and use warp then everything is fine.

It is the same with the beta version.

No crash report is being generated.

Can I ask, how you scale a selection in AP?

I can copy the selection onto a new layer and stretch it (and I don't get the white line) but possibly not understanding how you're able to stretch a selection?

Thanks.

Check this video..

This bug still exists. Is this being looked into?

Fantastic! Great work as usual.
