I understand it's an old post but maybe someone will come here searching for the solution and I thought it might have been nice to write it down for you.
You actually can warp multiple layers now with the live filters: live filters-> distort-> mesh warp -
Thank you very much, is it possible to know the level of priority that this issue has?
Because to me this is quite an important one and fairly easy to fix, and I'm quite surprised it is still not solved after all these years!
best, Riccardo

Hi everyone, I'd like to bring back a bug report that has been totally ignored since 2021, which I think is urgent and deserves to be discussed.
Below you can find two very old threads talking about it.
to summarize:
the white balance tool is not working properly for non-raw files both in the develop persona and in the photo persona (through the adjustment layers).
-what the tool should do: colour pick a pixel and equalize the RGB values to convert the colour of the pixel to a neutral grey (RGB values equal to each other) then apply the same RGB shift to the whole image.
-what the tool really does: in develop persona with a raw file it works properly, when used on tiff, png, jpg (etc.) it does not work.
What we observed:
-the sliders in the develop persona with a raw file open are called "temperature" and "tint" and both of them are properly moved automatically when using the white balance tool, in this case it works properly;
-however in the photo persona (white balance adjustment layer) they are called "white balance" and "tint", and only the "white balance" slider move when colour picking the image, we don't see why they should be called and behave differently since it is the same tool that already works properly for raw files in the develop persona.
A possible way to fix the bug:
-just apply the same rule applied for raw files (in the develop persona) also to non-raw files (both in the develop persona and photo persona adjustment layers).
kind regards: Riccardo

thanks, I checked the hardware acceleration is disabled already.
BTW I added a new crash report in the correct section of the forum (yes it was V2)
Thanks everyone -
When I zoom by pressing ctrl + mouse wheel, or by pressing space+ ctrl and left click, I experienced several crashes while working on a jpg picture (3000x3000pxl more or less ) captured with my smartphone (google pixel 6). Before the crash the operations I performed where liquify, change exposure and contrast in develop persona, but the crases happened when I returned in the photo persona a fiew minutes after the previous operations right after I've used the clone stamp or patch. it does not happen as soon as I open the file, only after a while I'm working (like 5 or 10 minutes). might it be connected with some sort of flooding of the histiry or the ram?
I can't attach an example file because it happens very often (this morning it happened 5 times with 5 different files, and it also happenend before very often, it happened also with version 1, in version 1 I experienced crashes while selecting and while zooming)
Both my GPU drivers and affinity itself is updated at the latest version.
I have windows 11 with a Nvidia RTX2060, 32 GB ram, and an i7 processor 10th gen (my pc is the MSI GS66 stealth)hardware acceleration based on OpenCL is disabled.
I attached the last crash report I found in the folder C:\Users\....\.affinity\Photo\2.0\CrashReports\reports
But I'm not sure if it's the correct one since the date is not correct.

I have the same problem, it crashes randomly at zoom and video drivers are updated yesterady

Hi all,
I go straight to the point:when I select with the poligonal selection tool and I pan (while being very zoomed in) sometimes the graphical polygon that indicates the lazo disappear, it reappears a few seconds later, and it does that on and off untill I close the selection.
The command works but it's a bit hard to control since you are doing it blind folded half of the time. -

ok that's totally understandable, keep us updated possibly thanks!

Thanks for your effort and checking it with developers. I totally agree with zezula, most of the times I do not even go into the develop persona because I only work with digital renderings which do not even have the raw file in the first place. So the tool I would like to be working to balance the white is the one into the photo persona.
To sum up, I didn't get if it will be fixed or not, what's the outcome of your meeting?

Hello.
I just checked one thing.
When we import the RAW file before revealing it for the first time (Revealing Person) both the white balance and the hue work.
Once developed in the Person Photo, only the white balance works and if we return with the same photo to the Developed Person, only the white balance works and not the hue.
That is to say that the first time everything related to color temperature works, but once developed, no longer.
I don't know if I explained myself well, I don't speak English and I translate with Google.yes I experienced the same behavior

Hello. I stay here. Certainly the white balance works well but the tint does nothing.
so it's still not working properly 🤣... Damn

Thanks so much! really looking forward to the fix! This is the only thing that prevents me from being fully loyal to Affinity suit. Keep up the great work and have a nice day!
Same here!!!

Following.
I'm eager to see a fix for this one as well. It's too much time we are waiting for such a basic feature.

I just want to say that I have opened the same topic on the V2 forum... sadly the problem still prevails
Thanks for your interest, I'm still waiting for this bug to be fixed as well... Until it's not fixed I can not really use only Affinity as my main photo editing tool :(. Pity because all the other feature are on point.

I don't think you are supposed to click on a white area. If it was like you said the colours should be shifted in a way that the particular pixel you selected becomes white (255 255 255), and it does not do it either. So even if you are right (which I think you are not, I'll explain why below) this tool is not working like that either.
My guess is that the tool is bugged, because it works properly in raw files (by clicking on a white or grey area), but it does a different thing in jpgs, in raws you click on any white/grey area and it makes that particular pixel of a neutral grey (no warm, no cold dominance in the colour, just flat grey with 3 equal rgb values, which is exaclty how the same tool in competitor applications works). The problem is that for jpg it only moves the temperature slider alone leaving the tint slider fixed (the "temperature" slider changes name from raws to jpgs and becomes "white balance" slider, which I don't understand the reason for this choice either... I guess this is the reason why who programmed it changed the behaviour for jpgs), while when working with raw it actually moves both of them, my best bet is that they just forgot to consider the second slider for jpgs
in the script... Or maybe if it was an actual rational choice of the programmer that worked on it, maybe he didn't understand how the white balance works in every other software which is a bit worryng for a software that does photoediting.
What I find even odder is that this is a basic tool that any photographer would use on daily basis and I reported this bug more than one year ago, so I'm starting doubting that affinity photo is a tool that profesisonal are actually not using for professional works, if no one complained about that since then...
Just one last thing, if it was not for this minor thing I would have left the competitor software one year ago, because affinity is perfectly capable of doing all the rest fantastically, but untill I'll be able to balance the white/grey with one click I'll really can't use it.
(PS: I've found a work around but it's cumbersome, you put a marker using the info panel on the point you want to white balance, then you use the white balance adjustment layer, you colour pick the same point, this operation will only move the white balance slider (which should be named temperature), then you move the tint slider manually untill the three RGB values on the info panel are equalized, note that if the difference between the RGB values is very high this method wont work anyway, but in most cases works.)what about this? you never answered this, maybe I'm still missing something

Your bug report thread has been tagged with the issue tracking reference afp-703.
Ha! I see thanks a lot :)!

Rather than creating a new thread and potentially splitting subsequent discussion between the old one and the new. It’s always best to ‘bump’ the original thread by posting to it again.
By the way, although it may seem as though you posted your report “years ago” it was only last July.
You are totally right, I chose to repost it here because from the previous discussion I didn't understand if the developers actually considered it as a bug or a feature
that's why I reposted it into "feature requests and suggestions".
However I should have at least reposted the link of the other discussion as you did, thank you very much.

That one was in Questions, where someone suggested it should be posted as a bug. Five months later rikkario finally posted in Bugs, and it was acknowledged and logged.
Great to know,
how can I see that it was actually acknowledged as a bug? Is there a bug list, or a "todo" list for fixes anywhere?
-
Hello,
I already reported the bug years ago, but it was never fixed, so I thought to add a new request here.
The white balance tool in affinity photo works differently between raws and jpgs, the behaviour for raws is the correct one, it would be good to have the same behaviour for jpgs and all other formats as well.

Hello,
recently I struggled trying to find how to turn the artboard background to transparent, I found it in the preferences very hidden.
For a more userfriendly experience it would be nice to have the option directly available on the option bar when selecting the artboard or maybe in the export window in the dropdown menu where you select the type of export (together with selection area, only selected, artboard, all document...)

I have a RTX 470 mobile on a dell xps with an i9 and windows 11, all driver up to date, I deactivated open CL acceleration and tried to set up the RTX graphic card or the Iris integrated card but neither of these solutions worked for me, it always crashes when I zoom in and zoom out fast in a 16k x 16k file.
any solution for this? it makes impossible to work
