Thanks for sharing

Had a similar problem and was solved: Look under Edit>Preferences>Performance And set the "RAM Usage Limit" To a higher value. It seems this may limit the RAM usage even if your PC has 16Meg like mine. Hope this help

Thanks unni. Hope the developers would simplify this in future editions of AP. Perhaps writing macros to do this

Thank you so much, will try this out.

Please forgive me if I'm at the wrong place, but my question is close to what you are discussing here. In Photoshop, I can copy an image or just a channel, say the Red channel in RGB by Ctrl+A and then Ctrl+C or create a luminosity mask by copying the L-channel in Lab. I then can open a mask by Alt+click on the mask and paste the copied image into the mask by Crtl+V The image will now appear in the mask and I can use levels or curve adjustments on the mask. In Affinity Photo, I'm not able to do that, a new pixel layer appears on top and I cannot get this into a mask. Is there a special way to do it? I'm sure one must be able to create such a mask. Thank you

LenC, there is a Photoshop plugin based on Dan Margulis' work called Curve Meister (http://curvemeister.com) It is an amazing program and I really hope it will soon be available for Affinity as well. I can't do without it in terms of esp colour correction, mask creation and in general really curves on steroids. You may enjoy looking at it.

Thanks a lot. Will surely have a look.

I compared the Beta with AP1.6.4.104 and it loads much faster. approximately 30% faster

I"m sure this not really what you want, but I use ON1 as I used to do with Lightroom and Photoshop. It is possible to use the "Save over psd files"( In AP Preferences>General, mark) to go from ON1 Photo Raw 2018 to Affinity and when you Save in Affinity (ctrl+S on my pc) image goes back to ON1, again as a psd file. You can put your effects on and back to AP again. Condition is you have to export as a psd file from ON1 This may be sort of a detour for the time being. My wish is that Serif would expand the psd function to others like jpeg, dng etc.

It is possible to use the "Save over psd files" To go from ON1 Photo Raw 2018 to Affinity and when you Save in Affinity image goes back to ON1. Is it possible for Affinity to expand this feature to other formats like dng and jpeg in future. It would then be the same as from Lightroom to Photoshop and back to Lightroom

It is possible to use the above "Save over PSD files" To go fron ON1 PhohotoRaw 2018 to Affinity and when you Save in Affinity image goes back to ON1. Is it possible for Affinity to expand this feature to other formats like DNG and JPEG in future. It would then be the same as from Lightroom to Photoshop and back. This only works for PSD files Affinity.pdf

Thanks a lot for your files

Can Affinity Photo (Serif) develop a link/plugin for ON1 RAW 2018? Surely not that hard for them

I consider moving from Lightroom to On1 2018. Can I expect this possibility of plug-in to Affinity Photo soon in the near future?
