Hello everyone, I've encountered an issue with the Affinity Photo app, version 2.1.1, on my iPad running iPadOS 16.6. When I open a photo directly from the preview in Affinity Photo, the image unexpectedly darkens, even though there are no adjustment layers or edits applied. I've noticed this problem on several occasions. Has anyone experienced something similar or have any ideas about what might be causing this? I'd appreciate any insights or suggestions. Thanks for your responses!

Hi, the metadata editing window could be much bigger. This way it is very hard to work with. Someone please correct me, but I think if I'm already editing the metadata l don't need to see the photo below and the the popup dialog can be five times bigger. It would be best to be able to switch between the current view and maximize the window to full screen😁

- select the affected area with a soft edge - use Filters/Blur/Bilateral blur - combine the Radius and Tolerance settings to erase the Moire while preserving the original texture -return a reasonable amount of noise to the area, you probably already know how :) I don't know if it will work for all cases.

Thanks for the reply Walt.

Is there a way to get the name of a photo, I put into the original using Place, to the metadata when exporting it, please?

Thanks to everyone who responded.

This is it!🤪 😀 The basic premise is that a deselect of all layers is performed before selecting a layer. Otherwise, the setup later somehow affected. I don't think that dialog should work like this. Thanks a lot!

I inserted four photos from the same batch with different variants of the layer arrangement. Everything was processed by the same macro, yet the result is different. I also insert a macro. Thanks a lot. (these are not my pictures,🤐 the customer took them) DSC03658.afphoto DSC03665.afphoto DSC03928.afphoto DSC03965.afphoto m2OuterShadow.afmacro

I would have to manually rename the layer in two thousand photos. If it does not bulk.

Hi Andy, thanks for the response, but I don't understand much. Within each set of layers for a each photo, the name "Background" is unique, isn't it? In addition, it does not work as specified, even if I set the "second layer from below". This should not depend on the layer name.

Hi, I want to ask about the problem when choosing a layer to apply the effect (outer shadow) when setting up a macro. After starting the macro recording in the dialog, I select the layer name (Background), record the actions, save, etc., then apply the macro in the Batch job. However, the effect is inserted either into the Levels layer above Bckg or (if this layer is not there) into the Pixel layer with a white background below Bckg. Never to the layer I chose. It seems supernatural to me.🥶 Even weirder is that I tried it in a few photos at the beginning and it worked well. I also tried to select the layer "second from the bottom" (which in this case is always bckg) with exactly the same result. I have finished 2k photos, this is the last step, there is a risk that I will open it all by hand one by one. Help please if anyone can.

Something new about this problem? It's crazy - I need to process 2k photos. Some help? Macros doesn't help with it.

Hello, I'm starting with Affinity. Please help. I am trying to select the bright background by using flood select. I set as in the tutorial https://vimeo.com/130975378, ie. New - Contiguos checked. After that I click and drag, the selection will appear with a number of dots in a row in the same location, even when you drag every other way. I have Windows 7, Aero is running. Thank you. I have already solved.
