Issue not fixed in 2.6.3 this issue is here since the introduction if this feature. funny thing, I saw people in french forums speaking about the Etendue feature with quotes "Etendues" as to implicetly tell they dont know why it is called that way (real answers being it is a error of translation). there is even a french tutorial about it where it is precises right in title that Etendues should be called Scopes so be sure it is not just me !

I would also very much enjoy to be able to have saturation VS saturation curve, to be able to desature not very saturated part of the image for example. There is no saturation mask on Affinity and current workarround arent really dynamic. Best

Hi, I various other image app, there is some kind of color wheel adjustement, which are extremely handy to adjust white balance or to grade an image. Here is in Raw Therapee: In most apps like in video editing apps, it is an essential way to retouch colors, and it is even more handy cause it has gobal offset, but also for dark (lift), mid and high luminosity ranges. Here is in davinci resolve (note: what is considered as dark-mid-high changes slightly across apps or modes: https://jayaretv.com/color/difference-between-the-3-types-of-color-wheels/😞 The ability to defined both color hue injection and an intensity in a single control is very handy. This feature would be mostly for affinity photo. Thanks!

@carl123 oh ok, it is easy to mix cause it doesn't refresh to White Balance pannel infos, even when it is in focused and in used. In following exemple, it still displays layers transformation info despite white balance opened, and white layer selected

@carl123 Oh wow, I would never have found this from the UI! There is no feedback about this, like path of the mouse. Though, the click and drag method doesn't seems to works as adviced by the manual, as you can see by this rapid color flashes, indicating no averages: The Alt + Drag for area is good though, many thanks. Here is demo, as it is not shown in the doc(https://affinity.help/publisher2/en-US.lproj/index.html?page=pages/Adjustments/adjustment_whiteBalance.html&title=White Balance adjustment):

Hi, Currently, the white balance color picker in the associated adjustement layer works per pixel. This doesn't work great if the white reference area in the picture has a texture, like a scanned paper. It would be nice if we could define an area size in which pixels colors is average Workaround is to do white balance on blurred version of the image. Thanks!

Hi, Affinity Photo v2.6.2 Currently, scope view is set per document (not: but it is not saved to file) Issue: This means that if all your open document have Parade as scope, and you want to compare their vectorscope, you will have to set vectoscope for each document, which is kinda long. Would be nice to have a setting in the pannel to "lock current vectorscope type when switching project tabs" Having scope view saved to file could be another request, but the value of being able to lock scope type for all open document is way more useful. Thanks!

IMHO it is not a bugs as it doesnt kill the programm, Anyway, can a moderator move this thread ? thx!

Hi, not sure where it is the best place to report translation error so I create a new thread, but let me know if there is a better way. v2.6.2 - Photo "Scope" has been translated by "Étendue", but this is the equivalent of the english "range" or "extent". Suggested translation: Leave scope, or put "visualisation". The error is also present in documentation and every menu / window related to this. v2.6.2 - All Apps when adding a "Balance des Couleurs" layer via Layers menuy, the new created layers is name "Équilibre chromatique". It is the only adjustement layer for which doest have same title in the click-menu than in the created layer. These two errors noticed so far really add confusion, I realized Photo had scope because of this. Thanks!

Hi, Affinity Photo win 10x64 v2.6.2 Currently when we open an adjustement layer, it goes back to its default original view. For eg, for color adjustement layer, it will be the red channel. This means than several clicks are necessary if you want just want to adjust something which isn't on defaut page/tab, but you need to close the adjustement layer window. This happen when you need to check something on another opened document for eg. Here is a demo: Screenshot: Expected behavior: If I adjust the white setting on this adjustement layer, if I reopen its window, it should open on white (not on red). This logic would apply to all settings / adjustement layers. Thanks !

The printer want a singe PDF for the whole book (images, text etc), but it doesnt have any text (text is drawn as illustration), all is images and prepared in Affinity Photo. Sure a way to batch process several affinity photo files to PDF directly would be nice, but it is more a stretch than adding PDF export to batch IMHO. SO I try to keep my request reasonable. But maybe I should open a thread about multiple Afphotos into one single PDF. Also, for speed and efficiency reason, having individual PDF is handy cause you can just take a few ones and upload it to collaborators (for feedback) more quickly that if you need to upload the whole book (more than 1.5gigas on a 90 kbits upload connection, take several hours). I did go to a local printers for prototyping and only had 4 chosen pages as individual PDF export, which was more handy than navigating into a big PDF long to open and process. Note: The Affinity Designer artboard workaround do allow to export PDF individually but not in batch (you can only export all in one PDF, or one by one - but not in one shot). Anyway, you may find my use case is irrelevant, maybe someone will come with a better use case. I can go without it, the artboard solution is good enough (for those who have Affinity Designer at least). I dont know, maybe if you want to export all your images as PDF but only send one to different people, because it is online RPG character sheet ?

Edited, added Use case and Workarround

Hi, Affinity Photo v2.6.2 We don't have PDF options in Batch Export I only saw one thread mentioned this: Would be nice if we could do that with the regular Batch export functions, as it is lower in memory than other alternative (loading all document into one and create slices). Many thanks! 🙏 Use Case: Making an illustration book. 30+ Affinity Photo pages. The printer is asking for a single PDF embedding al the images. TIFF export require to embed images into a master document, more or less manually. Affinity PDF export is good, it has special rules for compression and scaling which is nice. PDF merging can be made with free tools. But we would need to be able to export in PDF in batch in a first place for convenience. Workarround: After hours of search I found a pretty good workarround for my use case, using Affinity Designer Artboard. The idea is to use artboards (an Affinity Designer Photo) to embed Affinity Photo Document, and do a single PDF file export from there. It did require to manually import all the pages and create artboard for them, so this workflow is a bit more prone to errors than working just affinity photo, but it will be good enough for my case.

@NotMyFaultThis will not be good enough. The keyword here are "relative" (aka, it will survive project dimension changes, at it will not be positionned in absolute) and "per guide" (changing origin is a global setting). This make me realize that negative numbers may not be the way to implement this as origin can change. So the checkbox solution is better. Alernatively, may the request should be "multiple origins points and relative positining for guide". Best,

Hi, Affinity Photo 2.6.2, Windows Currently we can put positive number in guide line positions, to put guide from left or top depending on the document origin (usually top left). If would be if we could also set lines bottom / right (maybe using negative number, ot just by checking a setting) This would allow to put extra margin arround the document easily, in a way that survive change in project dimensions. (note : currently, guide cannot be put outside of document, but of course negative number would not be the way to solve this if this is something planned) Thx!
