I will back this thread from the dead. In Photo 2 there is still not "revert" available, but as you can link image from disk, there is no need to. If you make constant changes to picture outside Affinity Photo (for example rerender it constantly) if you place it linked in a Photo (File/Place, with File/Placement Policy/Linked) it will be updated automatically. Even better then revert.

Thank you. I find it a bit more straight forward, still have bit of doubt that I will remember this.

This time I will start to follow this topic...

Zstau0azyd.mp4 This time at least I knew there is topic about it...

To add some diversity, I like this splash much better, than this in Affinity Photo. Personal taste, I think.

Thanks. I started new file, but again, after minute or two it started to crash. Without Layers Panel work will be _Quite annoing_ so I will wait this time. Anyway, good job Designer is really nice app, and I use betas mostly I think from 1.7 or 1.6 and its the second time when they fails me, so its nothing.

New version looks superb, but first time I will go back and hold. 1 freeze, and 2 immediate appcrash (second time without autosave) in about 10-15 minutes. Maybe its my rig, but never have this before. edit: File attached. click/double click on nose - crash. It maybe connected with broken file or that I tried to add this gradient on nose to global colors (thats when things started to broke suddenly) Slide01.afdesign

Honestly, I remember times when I abused fonts this way. In this times I rarely merged words "back" and "pain" in one sentence ;).

Thanks for an answer. My question is: What kind of "artist" deforming font that way? That should not be allowed, or at least not as a default. I vote for renaming it to "Bad Artist Text Tool" ;).

Yes, maybe it is a bad wording. So how about "temporary fix" ?

Yupp, my problem vanished for good with when hardware acceleration is set to off, so I change topic and added "fixed'.

Sent. It is always worth to work with developer ;). And I was warned to not use Beta in production, but there is no other way to use it, TBH.

Oh, for one other test i enabled GPU but disabled OpenCL, and now it seems to work good. For now it seems like it fix it for me, i will report later after better testing.

New document (2048x2048 with 30 object and some effects) works fine. I just COPIED via clipbboard all object from broken file to new one.It didn't copied my artboards, but new one is responsive, old is still broken, so it is something with a document. Cannot make more test today because I'm in the middle od deadline, but happily give your file in monday. For now I will work with WARP. New file is useless for me, because it lost artboards and slices (so maybe it is too much object at once on screen, or slices). Thank you for your response.

I will check.

I can send my file to you, but in private message.It's nothing special, I think. And after few more hours working with WARP i agree it i sbetter than with GPU. not as fast as GPU + previous beta, but I can work on it. I will now once again turn on GPU to check.

After some time on WARP, althought still slow, I found it bit is better than on my GPU (1080ti). Not much better, and it was after fresh restart. @Aammppaa: yup, updating the screen is my main problem.

I found newest beta much slower than previous. Working, still possible is very painfull and needs lot of patience. I didn't change anything lately, except instaling new beta, file isn't very complicated, computer was restarted. Working with last beta on same setup was flawless. There in no difference between rendering on GPU or WARP. Sadly I cannot give say more, but maybe I'm not the only one. If you have this problem, try to disable in Preferences/Performance/Hardware Acceleration, works for me!

Thanks! That first one is really useful. That second one... I just make a change in Preferences like Old Bruce pointed out. I always want hierarchy to show me edited object. I will work like this some time and find out is it have some disadvantages for me.

As I found in this thread, very useful feature of both designer and photo is off by design. And when it's off it works partially, just enough to work as broken. I understand there is group of people who wants this off (I imagine huge imported technical documentation or something like this) But as a user more focused on UI /UX /illustration with quite managable hierarchies I propose to turn on this by default. Just a thought.

Thanks a lot! Feel stupid now. I will feel even worse, if you'll say me that this is checked by default on, and I just turn it off someday. But I think it's not. If its not default option, please make it so, I don't even thought I can find it, it's like "render layers visible" checkbox in preferences. Especially that it somewhat worked, but felt broken.

<RESOLVED! - look at next post> I will start from usual - love Photo Designer. Love it and use it on daily basis. It is one of a things that make my work in it so much less fluent: this is when I click on group - exactly what I expect, group is lighten up on layer mennu, just as it should. but I need something deeper. So I clicked more (on screen, because I see my object and I want to move it to another group, or see where it is hiding. Aaaaand... nothing, no idea. Sometimes it gives pale blue hue to parent group, but not always. Even if - it is bit too delicate to see. Should it or should it not open hierarchy and expose an object will be debatable (I wish it was, but think some people can disagree, but stronger feedback will be welcomed. Thanks!

I'm not using Photo at daily basis (I use Designer mostly). It is the second time I'm here, because doing this is so unintuitive. Thanks Anon1 and Werner fort posts about it and info. Sometimes you really need to filter/adjust mask, and not masking filter/adjustments. And TBH "alpha" isn't what I'm adjusting here - I'm adjusting "alpha mask". Please, it is a step back from Photoshop CS, at least. In every other way I'm very pleased with the software.

OMG, thanks! - I will be lovely to see grayscale mask when I make adjustements, TBH. - and to see adjustements layer effects on this mask, when I alt click it. - adjustement mask should remember that I use it on alpha. this workflow isn't self explaining and clear.

Thank you. I knew Export Persona, but I didn't know about continuous export. It can be even better. edit: It is better. Works like a charm. Thank you 100x
