[Frequency Separation]

Hi 

 

Talking to a mate and his Frequency Separation works fine. 

So after some thought I unticked the OpenCL compute acceleration and it worked.

Hi I've just been trying out the Frequency Separation filter in the Photo 1.9.1. When I try to go above 7 pixels the low frequency channel goes blank. I was attempting to get to about 25 pixels  to see how it worked for the Orton Effect. Is there something I am doing wrong?

Thanks Walt, renaming the Adjustments.propcol worked. That has taken me back to where I have assets working. I am now back to my original problem that one of my assets categories called grunge crashes AF when I click on it. I could work around it.

Just done a reset on AF boot with the Ctrl key and low and behold the Assets have disappeared and now I can choose a category  and create one. Just have to start again with my Assets which I don't mind. 

 

Once again Walt thank you for your patience and help it is much appreciated. It's 20 years since I worked on computer systems and so much has changed. I long for a DOS prompt and commands I understand.

This is getting ridiculous, I have reinstalled AF 1.8.5. Everything seems to work OK except Assets. The assets is empty nothing there at all. But there is no category called assets. When I try to create an asset category nothing happens. 

I have uninstalled and deleted the AF folders. I have changed directory where AF is installed on. But still Assets does not work.

It seems as if the settings are set in the registry. when I install a new copy it picks up the studio setting from the previous install. Reset everything and still it assets will not create a new category. In the drop down for the asset category there is no Asset category as default.

It worked fine until I upgraded to 1.9.

I have attached  the propcol Files, please can some body have a look to see if the fault lies there?

Can some body please throw some light on this problem as it si getting very frustrating.

Still crashing, all I can think of is that particular category has a bad image, probably the last one I installed.

 

Tomorrow, fresh start back to 1.8 until 1.9 is more stable.

Thanks I'll try preference first. Thinking of going back to 1.8 until things settle down.

I now have my PC back to where it was before the Windows crash. 

Just starting reloading the assents and now it keeps crashing AF when I try to look at an assets category Grunge,  It crashes AF. 

Have noticed AF 1.9 does crash quite a bit whereas 1.8 very rarely did.

Hi again, I've given up after two attempts of reinstalling AF and copying down the files. Same result both times all I could see were the free downloads. Same with the macros, which I eventually found. My fault didn't load the library from studio. 

So luckily, I have located the missing brushes, swatches and images in assetts I'll just build them up slowly. 

 

Thanks again to all involved for your input.

Now onto two more software packages to restore.

[How to access data in AF from outside the software]

I've now reinstalled AF, using the trial package, Copied the *,propcol files from the original copy of AF.  It has worked to a certain extent, I can see the free Assets and brushes I download from AF, what I cannot see are the other brushes and assets I had downloaded from various sources. The swatches and macros are not there either.

 

I am concerned now at the amount of times I can download the software before I am excluded from downloading anymore and I cannot see anyway to enter my product key.  

 

Is it going to be easier to trail back through what I think I have and start again long hand?

 

Help!

Thanks to everyone for your input I've located the files and when I pick up my new PC, I will give it a go.

 

Interesting Times

My Windows PC has decided to give up the ghost. Windows 8.1 is badly corrupted and I have no recovery disk. I am having my HDD out of the defunct PC installed in a new PC, as a secondary drive,  so I can access the files. This PC was my main one for Affinity Photo and I have brushes, assets, macros and swatches on this PC with no backup.

Yes I know I should have exported them and saved them, but hey, I didn't.

My question is, is there any way I can extract the above data from Photo from outside of the software?

 

Hope this makes sense.
