@Affinidesigner yes it’s such a weird behavior. maybe try this link this time, instead of clicking just copy it in the browser. hopefully it works.

Support,
 
I am having trouble finding the Resources needed to begin Chapter 3 of the Affinity Photo Workbook.  The link provided in the book (https://affin.co/mamtor) does not work.  Is there another area to find the resources? Or could you possibly email me a Zip file of the resources? Any and all help would be appreciated.  Thank you.
 
Daniel

Hi Daniel Cisneros,
Welcome to the forums  
When I copy and paste the link you wrote into my URL bar and hit enter the resources immediately start to download. What happens when you try this?
Thanks

Thanks for sharing your talent! Will download right away!

Thank you walt, fixed.
Ironically that work around is also a bug because it is meant to save the template type in the new from snapshot and it's only because of an oversight that the workaround doesn't also crash.... 🤔

@atefoto OpenCL is effectively deprecated now. In 2017 it was announced that OpenCL would be merging with Vulkan, which has lead to a lack of adoption of the latest OpenCL (> 2.0) standards.
 

Metal / DX12 / Vulkan all offer similar feature sets and performance, though each have their own individual issues...
All I can say is, we're working on it. It is not our intention to have one platform with vastly better performance than another.

Here is a macro for AP Photo that I created for a subtle sharpening that does not cause image to become grainy. Take it, try it, and tell me what you think! NW

Another one is wesaturate.com

Please... Its not a waste of money! This software is cheap for the massive capabilities it has. And if you don't want to pay for it twice, get rid of your MacBook or your PC. That would solve the problem very nicely. Cheers!

This question has been answered. This thread is locked.

I don’t know why Patrick took your comment that way. I certainly didn’t! I immediately associate the name ‘Apu’ with the proprietor of the Kwik-E-Mart, and ‘AP’ has always had several different possible meanings for me, even setting aside the fact that those letters happen to be my first and last initials.

As I said in my first post "On desktop browsers..." There's no such thing as hover on touch devices.
Not being helpful to everyone is not the same as not being helpful to anyone

These forums are for discussing Serif Products not other unrelated companies or news articles. There are tens of thousands of uses of these acronyms on this forum all with the meaning in the tooltip, and none of your (frankly ridiculous) examples. 
Use CODE quote if you that ever happens which it will not.
AD and AP and afphoto are not tooltipped  

In a decent browser like Chrome but look in Edge, it's a solid line (even though it should not be)
 

Agreed, thanks.
These are Serif support forums and need to work for us. Indeed there will be some considerable reorganising of the forums shortly to make them more effective for staff and our processes. 

When they start posting here I will turn it off. This is an Affinity support forum and this pedantry is not funny. When users and staff here answer newbie questions and happen to use these terms the tooltip will help. Viewing them is not customisable in your account. 

What I really disliked was having these things becoming underlined with no warning & wasting time trying to figure out if it was because of some problem with my Mac, my browsers, an indication that someone hacked the site or my user settings, or what. Just bad timing I guess but Apple just released an update to the Safari browser I typically use to access the site, so that was one more variable to consider.
As for the underline/acronym feature itself, I think it would be OK if there was a way to disable it when it is not an intended use. Otherwise, occasionally some of us might wonder what the proprietor of the Kwik-E-Mart, the American Public University, the Associated Press, Amphenol Corporation, the American Printing House for the Blind, & a few other things had to do with the Affinity apps! 

Hi Mike,
Welcome to Affinity Forums :)
I've put a list here for the Mac version. I believe most plug-ins will behave the same in Photo Beta for Windows but i'm still checking this out with the latest Photo Beta for Mac and Windows.

Are you sure this isn't related to OpenColorIO with Metal compute? (I'm going to assume you use OCIO)
The whole OCIO pipeline is currently broken with Metal compute—if you disable Metal compute and switch back to software under the Performance preferences section everything should work fine. I've been opening EXRs produced from various software (with OCIO configured) and haven't had any issues. The developers are aware of this and it should be fixed soon.
If that's not the solution to your issue, it would be great if you could provide samples as Gabe suggested so we can have a look. Thanks!

There are many Video Tutorials for beginners listed in the Tutorials forum. If you are looking for paid-for videos then I would recommend those provided by Simon Foster (aka @drippy cat) on Udemy.com.

I second that. Simon's courses are second to none.

I took a look but didn't find anything for Affinity, but AFAIK Udemy doesn't have a good way to find all courses by a given author and I didn't spend a lot of time poking around.
