Halo

Hi MEB, well - i don't know if its a problem with my installation, but in the latest beta, that's not true if you access the live filter through the icon on the right side

Hi, the menu denoise filter is not identical to the denoise live filter. Is that itended? I ask because i have reported it in the bugs forum some time ago and the live filter has still some quirks (check extrem checkbox, go below 50% -> checkbox magically resets).

There is some discrepancy in the usage of the Denoise Filter in the menu and the Live-Filter. The Denoise Live-Filter resets the "extreme" checkbox if you go under 50% - the menu filter has a different behaviour. And the Detail Slider has no function.

Thanks for the response. You must make that test with an active history tab and it must be in front. The other problem is with the anti aliasing on the screen, on uneven zoom levels. You can't see it every time - vary the zoom level a littel bit - but it's not my main concerns, only an information. Iam on vacation in the next weeks and can't respond to any replies, but i hope that a developer will look into these problems in the next year. Merry christmas to all.

1.) Create a new empty document 2.) Turn off stabilizer 3.) Then paint FAST curves (half circle). You will notice that in the beginning of the curve, they are not round, rather straight. I have attached an example. Btw.: anyone else have problems with strange anti aliasing at uneven zoom levels? I cant remember that in PS, GIMP, Corel or others If you view that in image at 100%, you will see strange "ripples" in the lines. Nothing game breaking, but irritating interpolation.

The problem is pretty sure a software / threading problem. Because the lag is creatly reduced when you close the history tab. I have tested it on three systems. And all have that problem (A Ryzen based AMD System with AMD Graphics, a Surface Pro 4 and my own PC). If you have a Mouse with a high polling rate you can also observe this behaviour easily - history tab open, make fast curves -> no smooth lines / "edgy". Close the history tab - problem greatly reduced. I think the app used the same Thread for undos and the event manager for input device listening. If you use Affinity Photo only for light retouch, then you might dont notice this. But if you draw, expecially fast curves, like hair, then it is really annoying.

Yes, the mod has acknowledged most of the bugs. No, i haven't contacted support. Do the Devs look into this forum? The proability that my machine has problems is near zero because: - I have these problems since release and installed windows two times. - I have now a new pc with near zero applications on it, still these problems persist. - The hardware shouldnt a problem: skylake 7820x with 32gigs of ram and a 1080ti. I use mostly the pc for Photoshop, rendering with Blender (CUDA is nice), ZBrush and mediocre gaming. I had high hopes to turn back from Adobe.

Sadly, i must agree. I have mentioned this bug numerous times and the connection in threading to the history tab (that makes matters worse). I have forwarded these (and other) detailed problems to one of the moderators, but yet nothing has changed. - lag with input devices with open history tab - not working details slider with denoise filter - anti aliasing problems with uneven zoom levels The stabilizer is a mediocre workaround for the "edgy lines / curves", but solves not the core of the problem. In the actual state, i can't switch from PS to a Affinity Pipeline. These problems are critical and should be adressed.

Same problems here. 1.) I think there is a problem with the sampling rates of the input devices and threading in general in Affinity Photo. Because (i have reported this months ago) if you use the "Histoy-Tab", the "wobbling" lines will be drawn. If you switch to any other tab (transform, navigator or channels), the issue is greatly reduced. 2.) Also if iam using the denoise filter, the "details" slider does nothing.
