This seems to work, but it's a very slow to do it this way. I need it to snap without wasting time preselecting things. It's fine for a few shapes, but I have to do this for tens of different shapes. Thanks. Seems like they've logged this problem, so hopefully they will fix it in an upcoming update.

Photo 2.1 - Banding in JXL images
Alex_M replied to Alex_M's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Hello. Any update on this issue? I'm still seeing banding in JXL images loaded in Affinity Photo. Again, it's only Affinity Photo that shows the banding. XNView doesn't show any. -
Alex_M reacted to a post in a topic: Photo 2.1.1 group mask doesn't produce good results with adjustment layers
-
Hi. I've got a group with an adjustment layer inside it. I also have a mask with soft edges applied to the group. This results in an ugly mask with strange green and dark red colors along the soft edges. If I move the mask from the group to the Curves layer inside the group, the masked edges look correct. Please check the document attached and the screenshot below. How can I prevent this? Or is this a bug? group_mask_problem.afphoto

Alex_M reacted to a post in a topic: Photo 2.1.0: Converting document to 16-bit messes up my mask layers
-
I have my mask inside the adjustment layer (White Balance). Pretty simple setup. No need to share the document, I think. Interestingly, @NotMyFault says it's a known bug. I went to his thread and learned that having Hardware Acceleration turn on causes this. So I disabled it from the settings and voila! I can use blending ranges with masks again. Seems like there's always something that Hardware Acceleration breaks with the software. If I were the developers, I would put a big warning on this option warning people that it's unfinished and may cause bugs like these. It's the right thing to do. Who knows what else is bugged when this option is turned on. From now on, I'm not going to use or recommend Hardware Acceleration. Too many headaches. Thanks for the tip, @NotMyFault ! Should I report this issue in the Bugs forum section?

I'm not sure if this is supposed to happen, but if I add a mask layer to my adjustment layer, the blend range I've set in the Layer Blend Options suddenly stop working. It's as if I've hit the Reset button in Blend Options. As soon as I remove the mask layer, my custom blend ranges work again. Is this normal? I don't remember this happening a few versions back. Is there a way to have both a custom blend range and a mask at the same time?

Hi. I have a document with transparent background. When I go and export a TIFF image, the background is not transparent. This happened after the last or the past couple of updates. I didn't have this issue before. Please see the screenshot below. Notice that the preview doesn't show a checkerboard pattern. The exported TIFF image also has a white non-transparent background.

Photo 2.1 - Banding in JXL images
Alex_M replied to Alex_M's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Hi, @NathanC and sorry for the late reply. The JPEGXL image was exported through XNView. -
Hi. I'm seeing color banding when I view JXL images in Affinity Photo 2.1. This isn't the case when viewing the images in XnView MP. Please check the screenshot below. Notice the banding in the wooden planks and how there's none in XnView MP (on the right). Original JXL file is also attached. jxl_banding.jxl
