This is to be expected. adjustments do not get converted to give visual identical results when the color space or color profile is converted. most adjustment work „simplistically“ on color values, e.g. curves, levels etc. when you convert to a wide color profile, the color values in pixel layers change, so the relation between input / output will change. if you change color profile from rgb to cmyk or lab, some adjustments simply stop working e.g. invert gives useless results in cmyk.

Black ink fill rate control in CMYK?
NotMyFault replied to mykee's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
You may try this. A simple channel mixer adjustment can do the trick to show areas exceeding given limits. -
Massive problem with saving tga files with alpha channel
NotMyFault replied to IdleJohn's topic in V2 Bugs found on Windows
I spent a few hours testing lots of combinations, and documented my results in the forum. Your screenshots show that you did not follow the tutorial exactly, and deviated in many relevant aspects: tutorial says exactly two layers, pixel on bottom, mask on top. you used a group of vector shapes, and placed a rectangle with channels mixer below. This is not to blame you, just an observation and my conclusions. It is too time consuming for me to reverse engineer your edit steps and guesstimate your intentions. Please try it again on your own, following exactly the steps as described. From older discussions i know that many new Affinity users perceive this learning curve as too steep, and i understand this. If your time is worth more than 200 bucks per year for Adobe, make a wise decision. -
Massive problem with saving tga files with alpha channel
NotMyFault replied to IdleJohn's topic in V2 Bugs found on Windows
The trigger condition is simple: If mask is full black: TGA export is broken (mask is ignored, export is fully opaque). If mask is not fully black, but is only non-black where the pixel area is black: The exported TGA does not allow to recover RGB pixels. all RGB values get zeroed out. You may have any number of black mask pixels but you need at least one single pixel which is both not black in RGB channels and not black in alpha channel. Then the exported TGA file can be fully recovered in RGB channels. Tested on Mac with Photo V2. You milage may vary on iPad or V1 -

not for TGA export on iPad and a fully black mask. It is a specific edge case. -
Massive problem with saving tga files with alpha channel
NotMyFault replied to IdleJohn's topic in V2 Bugs found on Windows
To be precise: specifically if all / majority of pixels are alpha zero. I still need to figure out when it toggles from correct (as before) to unusable. This has not changed. V1 and V2 behave identical. I only never checked for this specific case before you raised the issue. -
When using a specific method for channel packing (see link below), export is wrong for TGA format if mask is fully or almost black. The test file has a mask with only 2 white pixels upper left / lower right. Problem 1: When exporting to TGA, the mask gets ignored and the TGA is fully opaque, despite the preview rendering. When changing export from TGA to PNG, export is representing the rendering. Image 1: Preview rendering for TGA wrong, check with navigator Panel Image 2: Image rendering correct for PNG (same file) Image 3: Solo / Isolation Mode of Mask Problem 2: If you re-import the TGA or PNG back gain into Photo, the RGB channels are not recoverable, but zeroed out. If you fill the mask with a white to black diagonal gradient, all TGB pixels are recoverable by filling the alpha channel after opening. almost empty mask export bug.afphoto

on Mac the behaviour changed as below: The tutorial works as before, when having a mask which is not fully black, e.g. using a black to white gradient. If the mask is full black (all zero), the exported file gets wrong: either the zero mask is ignored (despite correct rendering of preview), and the exported file is 100% opaque, or the export is not recoverable (RGB channels zeroed out). For your specific case requiring alpha to be zero for the complete canvas: this specific edge case is currently not possible with Affinity apps.

Invert layer selection
NotMyFault replied to Alex_M's topic in Feedback for the Affinity V2 Suite of Products
So it is not about pixel selection, but about selecting layers in layer stack. i doubt that invert in layer stack will be usefull, as affinity treats parent / child layers or layer hierarchies very special. if you want do delete all except the selected layers, copy / create new from clipboard could do the trick in simple cases. Unless Affinity says “clipboard not suitable for new document” for unknown reasons. In complex cases inverting is not well defined -
While possible with many caveats in theory, this does not work well in Photo. While using Develop Persona: you can save presets for many of the sliders, but you must save several of them (no grouping possible), and Affinity often does not apply a preset even if it is shows as selected in UI (old bug). While in Photo Persona: You can save presets for many adjustment layers You can reord macros of edit steps. But this is far behind Adobe from the functionality and hampered by too many unfixed bugs. If you need to mass-edit Photos, look elsewhere.

You can: use a rectangle shape filled white, and nest it to masking position of the image (over the thumbnail). rasterize and trim. -
Warp convert to Curves imprecise
NotMyFault replied to mannyarts's topic in V2 Bugs found on Windows
The actual afdesign file (maybe reduced to the relevant layers) would really help to reproduce. Any chance you can upload? -
Control y in Transform shows 0.0
NotMyFault replied to Hanan78's topic in Affinity on iPad Questions
Can you show us the exact steps which are working on Mac? I did not fully get what you try to achieve, and how this step (probably embedded in additional steps not yet described) play into the target. The transform panel on iPad is more restricted wrt to formulas, it does only accept numbers and not the usual input variables like w or h. When working with numbers only, it has the same capabilities of adding / subtracting etc. -

Photo is definitely the better tool for this task. -

There is a workaround. You can activate rulers, grid, guides, or create helper objects to give you visual references. If required: use the pen tool to create a line marking the reference in the source image. Then use the transform panel, it shows the angle. Copy this value. Then select the image, paste in the value with opposite sign. -
But probably this bug

I have a weak memory about a similar issue (but not related to export persona), about 2 years ago there were multiple reports but it was fixed
