[Compound mask in solo mode]

When I try to view a compound mask in solo mode the render crash and I only see a white screen. Even if I try to open another document it’s still not showing anything except a white document. I have to hard reset affinity photo to see any documents again

[HSL]

Hi, when i use HSL in affinity 1.7 (1.7.2) i can't find the color picker. Is that one missing in the ipad version or have i missed it? 

[Layer opacity vs. fill]

There is also the thing with the special 8 blend modes. Some blend modes are useless workout fill. 

[Sample current layer and below and blend modes]

Hi. 

A really nice feature in a nother software similar to affinity photo you can make a black pixel layer, sample from layers below and at the same time use blend mode. This technic would be very useful some times. I understand it may take more CPU to do so. But maybe a checkbox to enable it. My workaround now is to not work in a empty pixel layer and that makes my workflow more difficult. 

 

The way I like to use it is to have blend mode set to darken or lighten when clone to only paint in certain areas, and still work non destructive in a empty pixel layer

[Report issues using Photo on iPadOS 13 Beta HERE]

I have problem open many filetypes, like LUT, import macro.

The files are grayed out. Same problem if the file is local as from cloud. 

 

And when i "open from cloud" and do it from Google drive, i don't appers to save the file back (PSD-file). Works fine with iCloud

im on ipad os 13 beta 3 (Affinity photo 1.7.1)

[Issue with Affinity Photo 1.6.7 and PortraitPro 17]

I read somewhere that they use smart filer in PortraitPro. Maybe thats whats chrashes AffinityPhoto. 

I hope that you finds a way to handle the plugins without the program crashes. Maybe a popup windows say something is unsupported.

I'm at work right now, when I get home I will check that for you. I believe it is the root folder for PortraitPro but I will confirm.

i found old PSFilterPPLauncher64.8bf on there homepage (https://www.portraitprofessional.com/support/?qid=69) With that one Portrait pro starts and opens the image. But Affinity photo close down in the background. One small step in the right direction.

As I said you don't want to use the .8BF plug-ins you want to use the ProtraitPro program itself as the plug-in. I'm not sure why you aren't seeing 2 plug-ins from within Affinity Photo, I helped someone else with this issue and they had the 2 same as me. Try removing the plugin from Affinity Photo and try reinstalling ProtraitPro and start over.

What folder are you telling affinity photo to search for the plugin?

I'm running Ver. 18 I initially had problems but I figured it out. If you look in your plu-ins you will see it is listed twice make sure you pick the plugin that doesn't have the dots (eg. PortraitPro... and PortraitPro)

This is great news, there is hope. But i only have it once with the three dots :(

[Plug-in problem in Beta]

What version of portrait pro are you using? i can't run portrait pro 18 as a plugin at all. 

[Blend fill special 8]

I hope it's not too hard for the developers to implement and that they will see this request.

I agree, it really hampers me especially when i try to use the color burn/color dodge blend modes...

 

[Blend fill special 8]

Affinity photo is a great software. 

The one biggest thing in my workflow that is missing to switch 100% from Photoshop is the fill slider in Blend modes.
