  1. Hi @Kimo, You don't say which OS or App your using? Also need to know what version of each. For Windows: Press and hold down the Control key, then launch the Affinity App. You should see the Clear User Data dialog. There's 2 sections, just pay attention to the top one. The top 3 options are checked by default. The Fourth is the Disable Hardware Acceleration. Check the box to it's left. Press the Clear button in the bottom right. The Affinity App should continue to start.
  2. Hi and welcome to the forums I'm not a Mac user, however doing a simple internet search provides numerous suggestions. How to Uninstall Apps on Mac
  3. What I discovered with my old Wacom Intuos 3, is so long as I'm using a Paintbrush, I can use the eraser end to erase. No need to change to the Eraser tool. However when trying to use it with Masks, it doesn't work. I run into the same problem as @Mike617. For the Eraser end of the pen to work as an Eraser; It needs to be set in the Pen/Tablet Properties to Erase Need to be painting/brushing on a Empty Pixel Layer Erasing on a Pixel (picture, image) will erase the pixels. Using it on a Mask it will do the same as Painting with a Black (or White) brush I don't know if it's by design or a bug.
  4. Yes that's correct. That is for you to decide. Do you want to have little input on your images' appearance? Do the Exposure Bias, Tone Curve adjust the image to what you recall that to be? Do you prefer the image to be personalized, sort of artsy? Experiment with the settings in the Develop Assistant. See how each affects your images. They do provide a good starting point. What I do, and I've shot and processed thousands of images in various post-processing programs, use the Develop Persona to get the most data from RAW files. Which means pushing the Black & White points. In AP that's the Brightness, and Black Point, adjust White Balance (if necessary), the Shadows and Highlights. I use the Scopes a lot and the Histogram to see if what I'm adjusting & seeing is what those are showing. Lens and Detail are the last adjustments I might apply. The Lens mainly to correct distortions, and remove the Chromatic Aberration and Defringe. Again these settings are what you want to occur...
  5. Welcome to the forums What File Settings do you have? Should be Selection Only. Also it helps to have the Document color setting to Transparent Background.
  6. It might be, I've always had Take No Action set. I do know the Noise Reduction is set to Apply Color Reduction, by default.
  7. Thanks for clarifying. Pressing the ALT key, I think is another default we can not change, used along with the brush tool, allows sampling colors. I don't think Serif will change this behavior. IIRC, many use this in their workflow.
  8. Welcome to the forums That is by design. Affinity Photo will not apply any Tone Curve, Noise Reduction, or Exposure Bias, unless you tell it to. This is done in the Develop Assistant. Click the icon in the top toolbar that looks like a television or alien. If you're in the Photo Persona, there's a button for the Develop Assistant in the bottom-left. On-Line Help-Developing a Raw Image Scroll down, there's a section for the Develop Assistant
  9. @Graphite Addict, I can not replicate this issue. I'm using a Windows 10 PC, AD 2.4 What OS are you using?. What Version of AD? Do you have any other tool selected when this happens? Are you wanting the Move (V) arrow tool or the View (H) hand tool? The Spacebar is the hardwired default for the View/Hand tool.
  10. If you're meaning the Right-Click menu of Windows File Explorer, Open With..., that's the way it's been for a long time. It's the same for Windows 10. It allows single file selection, any more and you just get the Open command. Serif has nothing to do with that, it's a Windows thing.
  11. I think there is a bug, but it's not exactly what Alex_M is reporting. Apply the HSL Adjustment layer Use the Picker to select a color/hue Make what ever adjustments you want Close the HSL dialog Notice that the cross-hair cursor is still visible. Click-drag on image, the color/hue still changes, even though you have closed the dialog. I think that's the real bug, the picker is not being released once the dialog is closed.
  12. I think it's by design, to close/accept whatever adjustment, filter dialog first. If you want to leave the dialog open, then use one of the workarounds I suggest in my previous post.
  13. @Alex_M, Are you closing/accepting the adjustment dialog before trying to de-select? You must close it first, then de-select. Works for me..
