[Set RGB parade in scope panel as default]

Hi all, in the "scope panel" the default setting is "intensity waveform" that I don't use, while I'd like to have the "RGB parade" set as default instead; is there a way to do that? Tks in advance

No, unluckily

Hi @Claudio60, 

Are you seeing the same prices for the other apps too?

Hi Steven, no I'm sorry, I have downloaded and purchased only AP2,  and in the Microsoft store you can't see the price of the apps.

[Very long loading time for RAW files.]

Quick update - the slow raw loading is due to us applying noise reduction on open as opposed to doing it after the raw has opened. This will be reversed.

Tks Chris, I already noticed it and reported in my previous post, see: 

 

 

but raw loading time is still doubled compared to v1 even with noise reduction set to off in develop assistant. Any ideas?

Issue already logged, see here: 

 

[Incomplete translation of new masks type]

Just cosmetic, but the new masks features hue range, luminosity range  and band-pass  are not translated (at least in italian).

I logged an issue last week regarding slower raw opening times. Hoping to get some feedback soon.

Hi Chris, reading your answer I'm confident that this issue could be resolved soon, so I just upgraded to V2, thanks

[Very long loading time for RAW files.]

Using V2 In my notebook cpu and ram usage are grown up of about  30% (using the  same file)

Comparing to V1, RAW files load time is quite long. The same is true for JPEGS, to a lesser extent.

Hence I really hoped tablet mode comes in V2, even if it's paid addon of ~10€.

It would have been nice

[UI change on Windows with Surface Pro]

Take a look at Tabletpro, it could be a solution

[Extremely long time to open a raw file compared to V1]

I've found what is impacting the slow opening of the raw file: in AP v2 my cpu usage  goes to 100% while with the same file in AP v1 goes to 68%; I don't know if it is something that could be addressed with a future patch or it's only AP v2 who's now more CPU demanding and my notebook can't take anymore, in this case I'll have to stay with V1.

[Extremely long time to open a raw file compared to V1]

Setting to "take no action" under noise reduction in develop assistant, reduced the raw file opening time to about 8 sec, better than before (13-16 sec) but still more than double compared to v1 (3-4 sec).

This shows that it is better to buy directly from the manufacturer's site (herre). And it avoids the Microsoft commission!

True, but if I decide to upgrade I have a Microsoft gift card  that I can use

Maybe italian VAT? 

I don't think so as the price for the universal license is 119,99€

Is the price correct? I thought was 48,99€

[Extremely long time to open a raw file compared to V1]

Hi all, I'm evaluating AP v2 (trial mode) for eventually upgrade and I noticed that opening a raw file (.orf) takes from 13 to 16 sec. in V2  and only 3-4  sec. in V1 (hardware  acceleration OFF in both AP versions); my old Alienware notebook  is running win 10 21h2, i7-3610QM, 12gb ram, crucial m500 sd, radeon 7970m 2gb with no hardware acceleration capability  and no chance  to update the drivers as my graphic card is not more  supported by AMD.   Any ideas about this poor  performance?

 

I made the same test on my Surface pro 7+ with i5, 8gb ram, Iris xe, win 11 21h2 and with this machine there's only a  little  difference between v1 and v2 when opening a raw file (hardware acceleration ON); is it something changed in the raw engine? Because the very poor performance that I have with v2 is limited only when opening raw files and not jpeg.

No, this feature isn't available and was already asked a long time ago:

On my Mac, I can duplicate that if in the Develop Assistant I change the Tone curve setting from Apply tone curve to Take no action.

If I leave it set to apply the curve I get the same result as @v_kyr posted.

You are right, on my pc the tone curve setting was set to take no action, changed the setting to apply tone curve reveals all the details and contrast of the photo.

hello guys,

is there any discount code to purchase affinity designer?

Hi, AD (for windows) is discounted in the Microsoft Store until 21/4, hope it helps

[Blue Screen of Death on Print...]

Microsoft just solved the issue through windowsupdate (KB5001567) 

[Blue Screen of Death on Print...]

This is a temporary fix from Microsoft:   https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/videoplayer/embed/RWzqv8

Probably it's a Windows 10 bug, take a look here:   Windows 10 crashes when printing due to Microsoft March updates (bleepingcomputer.com)

Danke für den Hinweis – aber ich bin kein Profi und habe Bedenken, dass der Intel-Originaltreiber mit dem Chipsatz des Herstellers nicht richtig arbeitet.

 

Thanks for pointing this out - but I'm not a professional and I am concerned that the original Intel driver will not work properly with the manufacturer's chipset.
