  1. This should get the 'bug' tag.

    My description above was wrong.

    Just after opening a photo I can custom crop 1:10 or 10:1, both behaving as expected.

    If I first crop 1:10 (without actually performing the crop), and then change the values to 10:1, the second crop is performed inside my initial crop - that's why the resulting area is so small.

    You can see the steps it takes while you're changing the values.

    @smadell: can you confirm? 
    1.6.6 (Beta 8): If you directly, as the first thing, crop 10:1 it works, but if you change the values the marked area becomes tiny?

    PS:
    This also works wrong in AP 1.5.2 but in a different way.
    (Has been a bug since before AP initially got released https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/12394-what-happened-to-topic8799-crop-tool-inconsistency)

     

  2. > Also, check out the options available in System Preferences > App Store. Among other things, you can optionally set it to
    > automatically check for updates, download them in the background & notify you when they are ready to be installed, &
    > even install app updates without you having to do anything.
     

    Yes. All were checked, yet the messages I got for AD were "quit unexpectedly" and "no updates available".

    It's solved now, but I stand by what I said.

  3. Hello A_B_C, thank you for replying.

    I'm probably overlooking something very simple, but

     

    > go to the Mac App Store, click the Updates tab and download the latest version

     

    I get 'No updates available'

    Also, if I go to AD in the App Store, I get the button to pay it, no other option. Next step would be logging in to the store, but I'm not sure if by doing that I automatically pay or if there will be a page where I still can confirm or cancel the payment.

     

  4. Hello Bill

    Welcome to Affinity Photo :-)


    This is what I tried: set the photo to black and white (in adjustments) and all the colour sliders to the right.

    Or: set the photo to black and white, then go to 'brightness / contrast' (also in adjustments) and set them to 100%.


    If anybody has another solution but no picture at hand: feel free to use

  5. I seem to have misunderstood what 'sticky settings coming in 1.5' meant.

    My workflow:

     

    1) I open a photo
    2) I crop it to a custom preset [Mode -> scrolling down to one of my presets]

    3) I switch from 'Overlay: Thirds grid' to 'Overlay: none'
    4) I crop and export the photo


    What I expected to happen with 1.5 / sticky settings:

    1) I open a photo
    2) Mode is on the preset that I last used

    3) Overlay is on 'none', because that's what I last used
    4) I crop and export the photo


    What happens:

    I still have to change Mode: and Overlay: for every single photo I work on.
