[Affinity Photo crash]

On 5/26/2019 at 10:07 PM, Watcher900 said:

I am using Windows 10 Pro with Affinity Photo 1.7.0.333 Beta. I was in the photo persona and clicked on Quick Mask. Using the paintbrush with the color white selected I painted out the area I wanted to be selected. I then clicked on the adjustments icon and clicked on Shadow/Highlights and Affinity Photo crashed! It closed completely with no chance to save your work. I tried this several times clicking on different adjustments and always with the same results, it crashes.

unfortunately still not fixed in the RC2

Hello @NigelDuke,
set the Opacity and Flow to 100% and set the Blend Mode to normal, then it should work.

In addition, the two Radius controls are now missing.

Let's hope that the radius controls will be reintroduced.

[Return files to LR after Affinity Photo]

Hello  @It123,
I think the first steps are known, like an image from Lightroom to Affinity-Photo is handed over.

1. Edit with (user default)
2. Copy with the Lightroom settings (yes)
3. Edit Image in Affinity
4. Export the image as TIF-File in the same folder.

Note the following, the image must be saved as TIF - File and not as a TIFF- File.

Lightroomput immediately a TIF - File on handover, the TIF - File is overwritten after the export.

I hope this helps you further

Cheers

[Will there be a potential for "save-to-cloud?" in the future?]

Hello @kdog3682,

With a small tool, you can sync any folder with Dropbox.
Unfortunately, it is not enough just to create a shortcut in Dropbox folder.
Dropbox does not recognize the shortcut.
Instead, you have to create a symbolic link in the Dropbox,
this is done by the tool Dropbox Folder Sync, or Google Search.
I hope it helps.

Serif's answer to this is always the same: "When it is ready."

[When can we expect a new update?]

It should be known by now, Serif has no ETA.
If Publisher will release for sale, then there is an update for from Photo and Desinger.
I also hope that the update comes soon.

[bad performance with paint brush tool in Blend mode Overlay]

Hello everybody,
I wanted to replace the sky in a picture.
I proceeded as follows:

1.  open a TIFF-File (4000 pix * 6000 pix=
2.  duplicate the Image
3.  go to channels
4.  select Background blue and create a Greyscale Layer
5.  back to Layers
7.  select the Greyscale Layer
8.  got to Adjustments and select Brigtnees/Contrast (eg increase the contrast and merge)
9.  got to Adjustments and select Levels (eg increase the black level/white level and merge)
10. activate the paint brush tool, set the Color on black, opacity  on 100%, hardness on 0%
      and the blend mode on Overlay
11. paint the whole  Image (repeat step 10 and 11 with the color white)

(With this  method I want to create a pure black and white mask.)

The utilization of the CPU quickly reaches a value of almost 100%.
It takes a felt  perceived  eternity until Affinity releases the previously requested performance.
This is not the case in the current customer version. How the performance was in the last beta,
I do not know anymore. I think a test with the last beta (.283) is no longer possible,
the test phase will probably have expired.

Can someone confirm the high utilization of the CPU?

Hallo @michkur,

Welcome to this forum.
Download the 10-day trial of Affinity-Photo, then you can judge for yourself,
whether the program meets your requirements.
Note, after the first program start, the time is counted down.
The program has during the test phase no restriction.

[Affinty Photo - Wacom intuos pro]

Hello  @CarstenM ,
Welcome to this forum.
I'm afraid that will not work, unless the touch ring can simulate the number pad.
The quickest way to change the opacity of the brush is the number pad.

1 for 10% opacity
2 for 20% opacity

intermediate steps
18 for 18% opacity
25 for 25% opacity

etc
etc

[Pap Pap considering Affinity over PS]

Hello @TJC,
Welcome to this forum.
I think your question would be better posed in  Support & Questions Forum.
Now to your questions:
Affinity Photo and Designer,  can not  create  an animated GIFs.
Yes, Affinity Photo is similarly complex as PS.
