Hi @Rico54,
No worries. This type of thing (not being able to reproduce something we experienced before) happens to us all from time to time. I'm glad the application if behaving as it should now. You haven't wasted anyones time - we are here for this. Let us know if you run in the same issue again.
Thanks for your feedback.
 

Hi @Rico54,
I'm having trouble reproducing this here. Are you able to reproduce the hanging with other TIF file other the one with your face? In other words does it happen only with that TIF or generally with any TIF file? Do you mind sharing the TIF file you're having trouble with? Since its your face I can provide an upload link if you wish to keep it private - just let me know. Thanks.

Try these steps to fill in the corners:
Select > Alpha Range > Select Partially Transparent
Edit > Fill> Inpainting
Select > Deselect

I think that's the difference between non-unified and unified memory—there is a loss less latency and it is much more efficient. 

Hi,
I've just uploaded the raw files for the Canon 6D mark 2 and the Canon 600D. 
Thank you.

Hi @Rico54,
Do you mind uploading the original source/raw files (CR2) you used for the two panoramas shown above please? Here's an upload link you can use to send them directly to us. Thank you

Thanks Anon2, all works fine now. Due to the small 13" screen the Protect Alpha checkbox was hidden....  🍺

Activate the Paint Brush Tool. In the context toolbar, disable Protect Alpha.

Happy Christmas and Happy New Year 🤗🍀🍻

No argument that LR may be the standard to beat. That said, On1 Photo Raw 2020 (and probably others) is hot on their heels. I migrated over to On1 earlier this year to replace LR 6.14 which was no longer supported on Mac Catalina. Overall On1 has met expectations as a replacement as DAM and for tasks formerly done with Adobe Elements.
As I understand it, On1 interfaces with AP in much the same way as does LR. On1 can send files to and from AP in psd, jpg or TIFF format but it cannot read the AP format. Photos sent to AP for editing must either be flattened to save back to On1 in a compatible format or saved separately in AP format if one wants to keep the layers. 

What was made by man, man can do again.
IMHO a replacement for LR is crucial for Affinity if they want users to move all of their workflow away from CC. Adobe seems to be well aware of this - you only get LR as part of a bundle, not stand alone any more. This option died with LR6. The way LR is structured makes up an effective lock-in for the users into the CC-ecosystem, creating a steady flow of money for Adobe.
From my view the reason the Affinity suite is without a DAM at the moment is probably that the company spirit is driven by the creative element. A DAM is more on the organisation of workflows, probably not the key competence of the dev team at Serif.

As photographer and happy Affinity customer, I believe that, to enter the DAM market with the typical style of Affinity, the work is immense because, to date, no product can beat Lightroom in the organization and management of photos. 

I am well aware that the Affinity team does not give direct answers in the forum, it was simply a phrase to support the concept expressed by Daryl.

Select the Crop Tool. On the Context Toolbar, click the Straighten button. Move the cursor over the image, and it will become a carpenter's level. Draw a line along something that should be horizontal or vertical.

On my "far from new" Computer (Desktop, i5-4590 ) the attached RAW takes about 3 seconds to load (most recent Beta of Photo) when Photo is already open.
There is color-noise, perhaps because the image seems to be underexposed by 2 stops.

I downloaded the file you attached to your post, opened APh (latest release) and opened your RAW.  It appeared in the Develop Persona in exactly 7 seconds!  I'm afraid I don't consider that extremely slow!

I've made tons of banners (for web) in Photo and had no issue, what do you mean the app removed layers? Now, I'm mostly using Affinity Publisher but Photo has been fast and intuitive to use. How is this app not intuitive since you are coming from Photoshop? Calling the app garbage is rude, you could've tested it before buying.

People that believe Affinity Photo for just 25-50 bucks can do everything Adobe Photoshop does (10-20 bucks a month for the rest of your life) may consider to relearn things in life...
Affinity Photo is for many many people out there, but not for everyone, and you are perhaps one of the exceptions...
Me and hundreds of thousands other Affinity users think the whole Affinity Suite is really awesome...

Hi guys,
 
I start to study vector graphics (will use it for my next video game) and have chosen Affinity Designer as my primary tool. Here is my first lesson. Simple sphere.
 


 

Any piece of advice is welcome. Source file is attached too.

First look today on my old iMac (mid 2010 27" i7 16gb ram 1gb MacOS 10.13.6)
Develop a Canon raw. Ok, a bit faster.
Build a panorama from 4 Canon Raw, all works fine, maybe a bit faster too then editing in Developer persona. Ok
Loaded a copy of 1.7.x project and working on it. Ok
Created a new project (I really love the "NEW" dialog box) and I've tried a lot of  tools. Nothing wrong. Ok
I hope to take a more complete test in the next days. Thanks for improve !

Thanks for you job on improving AP !

Hi Cris,
in the Panorama Persona. All works fine, I've decided to abort the panorama because the freehand photos didn’t line up well despite the correction with the tools of Panorama Persona. 
This morning I've tried again the same abort sequence (with the same programs loaded) and all works fine, no crash.   Maybe my iMac was a bit tired and too much programs loaded at the same time. (Canon's raw files CR2 type)
Thanks.
