1.10.4 appears to have corrected the issues that I was having with funky square boxes and pixilation under 1.10.3.. Thank you.

Same issue(s) with same graphics card. Had to turn off hardware acceleration to work. Did not have any issues with previous 1.10 version. A lot of pixelations and square artifacts with latest upgrade.

Forgive me if this has been asked already, but I'm unable to find on the forum. I have 32bit images and I'm trying to use the Bilateral Blur. Neither the Filter drop down nor the live filter of Bilateral Blur work. I have to convert the image into a 16bit image for the blur to work. Is this on the Affinity Photo team's radar to fix?

Greetings,
I'm trying to duplicate a process that I found on a Youtube video on removing white / black specks from an old photo using Undo Brush and snapshots. I'm not able to duplicate and was wondering if anyone can assist. The video can be found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jqh7Ixuyp8&list=WL&index=1 -

Hey Mesquito,
I think this is because the marching ants are quite heavy on the CPU and the histograms outside of the Develop Persona are not prioritised by the CPU so as NotMyFault says, it often takes time.
I believe I already have an improvement logged for this so I will go and update it with your feedback—thank you.
Thank you - I'm still having issues after I deselect. I waited ~30 minutes and it never returned. My best option at this point is what 'NotMyFault' suggested by moving focus off the selection brush.

I went through Mesquito's original process and the histogram, in color, stayed visible as I was applying the selection brush and after I deleted the marching ants. No issues. I have version 1.92.
Are you using Windows or Mac?

I have the same issue, but its mainly lack of patience: it can take several seconds until the histogram gets displayed (>10).
What sometimes helps:
- Switch to "move" tool"
- Click the yellow triangle in the histogram panel
- Open curves layer again
Can you try again and wait ... a lot?
NotMyFault - Thank you for the your response. Switching to the "move tool" did the trick. None of the other suggestions worked for me, but at least I do have a work around now.
Affinity Team - While I now have a workaround, please look into this issue. I also experience same issue with the "Levels" adjustment.

After making a selection, I lose all graphical histogram representation in the curves tool. To recreate issue:
- Open file
- Make adjustment using Curves (histogram is shown)
- Create a selection (histogram disappears in Curves adjustment tool.
- Delete selection and problem still exists
- Delete previous Curves adjustment and problem still exists.
Nothing I do, will bring back the original graphical representation on the Curves tool. This is happening on the current release (1.9.2.1035) as well as the beta (1.9.4.1065)

Thank you! Good advice. I don't have Photoshop so I dab between 5 different types of image editors (the old Paintshop Pro Home Edition, Serif DrawPlus, Corel Paintshop Pro x7 and Serif Photo Plus x7. I already had Serif products so Affinity seemed a logical purchase and does offer great features which has added to the scope of functions available to me now. Good to know the forum will be always on hand to help! Much appreciated once again.
I have used PSP since version3 (~18 years)and jumped over to Affinity Photo about 18 months ago and never looked back. Affinity has so much more to offer, but like any software it does take time to learn..

Please refer to this Apple article about how to make clear, jitter-free screen recordings. It is very hard to tell much if you use a handheld phone or the like.
For Windows 10, you can use the Windows Key + G to record.

Pedro,
I'm not having any issues with masking on the file you provided. Maybe, you can show the error by recording your screen as you attempt to paint on the mask? -
Thanks, I've tried the new stack option but its not able to lock the foreground and comes out blurry. I am working nightscapes, like the milky way with the desert cactus silhouetted in the foreground.
-
I like to take night photos with features on the horizon. I would like the ability to mask out the horizon so that only the night sky is aligned. Currently, I am using a software called 'Sequator' to align my photos, but this software only provides an single file output. I'd much rather have multiple layers aligned using one of the layers as my base for foreground.

Thank you

After downloading 1.9.0 & 1.9.1, I reinstalled several macro packs via the account sign in. I noticed that I can no longer edit the macros that are downloaded. The 'Edit' option is available, but when I click the button nothing shows up on the macro tab. This does not happen to the macros that I created or imported. Is this a feature or a bug?
-
Thanks for posting this workaround. I've been struggling with same issue.
-
Checking in to see if this issue is still on the radar to be fixed?

I'm experiencing same issue with 1.8.2. I'm using the Extract Detail Macro that Pedro Soares created here: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/36265-extract-detail-macro/&tab=comments#comment-178831
It too uses Vivid Light filter. Works fine on Jpegs, but creates colored artifacts on raw (NEF) files. Problem disappears when I convert to RGB/8 bit. -
Same as arkoe. Pixabay and Unsplash work fine for me, but I'm getting 'connection failed' trying to get images from Pexels. Works fine outside of AP.

Thanks for the reply. That's too bad, as I import a lot using Corel, which has no problem with drivers for scanners. One of the reasons I got Affinity was to get away from Corel. I guess that ain't happening.
Thanks again.
David - I switched from Corel about a year ago. While the twain support is nice to have, it's not a show stopper and you really should give Affinity Photo a try. I use Epson scanner to scan my photos to tiff and open later in AP for editing. I find this is actually faster for me than using Corel to scan, save and edit later. But, I scan a lot of photo's in, so I usually work in bulk.. I scan 30-40 photos, then work on them for the next couple of weeks.

Thanks Tom - Following other thread now.

This is still a bug. If you use 'Vivid Light' on a 16 bit image, you get all kinds of artifacts.
