Sorry, I don't know how to record something. Never needed it so never looked for it. I use the slider, clicking and scrolling depending on my mood. It happens with all image sizes, but frankly that shouldn't make any difference with most images under normal circumstances and as long as the image is larger than the viewing area, which doesn't take much with my images. Many of my images are tiffs scanned at 2400 or more dpi for restorations. (reduced at export) I don't have this problem in 1.6.5.123 If you can still see the whole image at 600%, it must have been the size of a postage stamp and none of my images are that small. It seems that I am not the only one with this issue. Thanks Ron for confirming.

Hmm. I use several Topaz plug-ins (the old ones, non-studio), All of DxO's Nik, Corel's Particle shop, and some others and they all work fine. I don't encounter the same problem as you do. All the files are Tiffs or AP Do you have this only with Olympus RAW files?

it seems that the zoom frame (not sure what you would call it) in the navigator panel (photo persona) has a mind of its own in beta 1.7.0.209 Sometimes it works as it should, sometimes it decides to show up at 400% or 300% or anywhere, and sometimes not at all. It's like Forest Gump' s box of chocolate or AI gone rogue . Not sure

I saw that, but just want to be sure they are consistent Walt

I was thinking about that. Is 1.7.0.188 still the latest as of this writing? Maybe "they" can add the version number with the link to the beta download in stead of just "Click here to download the latest beta" Easier to keep track and I don't have to ask dumb questions like this one.

Cool! Thank you very much. Learn somethng every day.

that rotates through the different options, but does not rotate the Golden Spiral itself from one corner of the image to another corner It's no big deal, but I figured since they are rewriting the crop tool anyway

I just wait for the commercial version. Maybe by then they incorporated the rotation of the golden ratio overlay. Having it fixed in one position, makes it useless

Besides that, the custom ratios are not working at all in beta 1.7.188

Russ2, do you even like Affinity? Just wondering.

what version do you use? I had problems with the selection tool and other tools in version 1.6.5.135, which might have been because of the same problems you encounter. (Not sure) I went back to version 1.6.5.123 and all problems disappeared. My CPU never uses more than 3-4% or so on AP (10-15% total with an I7 processor), no matter how complex the image or how big the colony of marching ants for a selection and not even when I have 5 -10 files open in AP Don't know if one is related to the other, but I am wondering though why you use such a huge amount of memory. Even with several other programs open, I rarely use half of what your computer consumed, and I have all kinds of programs running in the background. (some voluntarily, some not) Do you have a utility to clean up your computer, like from system mechanics, or Norton? I think I would close all the programs you can and see if the problem persists (process of elimination)

Alrighty then. Thank you Dan!

Hello Dan Your last remark is probably what happened since the inpainting tool brush had no smooth edges and was all jagged no matter what setting I used. To speak with the words of Steve Urkel, was it something I did? If the difference between *.* 123 and 135 is just installer based, should I try to re-instal it? But since everything works fine now, I could just leave it and wait for the next big update 1.6.7, that is supposed to come out in a couple of weeks I understand

For some reason, none of my selection tools seem to be working in Photo 1.6.5.135 and some of the other tools, like the inpainting brush tool, have spotty performance. It was so bad actually, I uninstalled this version and went back to 1.6.5.123. Everything works great in this version. My preferences were set the same in both versions and my plug ins were the same too

I believe it is the same on your official AP video tutorial. (I would have to double check that) edit: I checked and it says Option key. Now I don't know if that is the ctrl or alt equivalent
