To fix it, double-click the adjustment to open the dialog and click (or nudge) one of the nodes a little.
Great, that fixed it. Do I only need to do this with the white balance tool?
Just out of curiosity for people who never used the beta (they will just go from the shipping version of 1.6 to 1.7) will they also deal with the issue or just those of us on the beta?

Ohhh, I like the sound of "RC1". [anticipatory-smiley-face emoticon]

I have to wonder how long until Photo is RC given the latest bugs in 127, 128. Version 1.7 has been pretty good to me until those versions.

Great, It's good to see Serif deliver bigger icons but man with these high density displays a couple sizes larger than what they have currently would be so helpful!

hold CTRL while launching the application
That fixed it. By the way when it reset the layers back to their original small size that reminds me; could you also add an XL layer preview of those of us on 5K iMacs and other high density screens? "Large" is quite small on this screen still!

The current AP beta is rendering the Legacy White Balance adjustment wrongly.
Is there a new white balance tool that is replacing the old? All the color correcting was done within the 1.7 beta. Also they will still need to fix the the layers panels that doesn't show up on one of my Macs.
-
This seems to be only happening with files created in 1.7 beta. In this particular file the whole document shifts in color to purple. In another file it is only half of the layers. Am I the only one to report this? It happened on both of my Mojave computers.
-
Update: When I tried 128 on my laptop the layers panel opened now but the color shifts remain.
-
127 and 128 have been by far the buggiest versions of Photo 1.7 for me. When I go to studio > layers the layers panel won't open. Some layers have color shifts. Everything works in 125 which is still installed on one of my Macs.

Of course it would be nice, if there is a barcode generator in Publisher, but really necessary? There are so many online resources for free or small money or big money who could do better for all kind of barcodes and Serif has not to focus writing code on a new field / topic / function. E.g.
I wasn't thinking serif would do but a 3rd party. The ID one I was talking about is 3 party. Quark unfortunately doesn't have something like that which is surprising for how long it has been out.
-
I would love to see a plug-in like Barcode maker that is on InDesign. I would like to pass off some of my barcode work to non-designers at my company but it's hard to justify them buying a copy of ID and Barcode Maker just so that they can do this one function. I wonder if there is a good solution to do this in Word? That way they could use a program that they are very familiar with.
-
I am glad to hear Publisher is working right. I don't know enough about Word or using Word as a layout tool or tables inside of Word to know how things should work in that area. I am sure it would probably import better if it was just saved as plain text. I would think adding tables should be done with in the layout tool rather than the text file.
That makes me think, with InDesign there is a way to strip out all (or nearly all) text formatting. Is that a feature that is available in publisher?

Glad to hear about the inline graphics... I'll now be able to make real use of Publisher from the start. From my perspective, it is now ready to ship (bugs and other such issues aside)
There are already so many pro layout tools on the market at the moment. Would like to see them keeping breaking ground like personas before shipping the product. Lacking things like multiple files within one project file (like Quark) is too big of a step back in my opinion. That feature is really the way I use a layout tool.
-
@Sean P I am not getting a nice laid out text like you have in your example. I sent you a screen shot of what I am getting on my end. I just sent it now.
-
Ok, I uploaded both the Publisher file and the docx file. I am not sure how the docx was put together. It also looks like there was a table perhaps? It doesn't seem like the file needed a table though. I can't check it since I don't have Microsoft Word.

we can give you an upload link!
Yes please, I would like the upload link or email.

If you're saying that you ended up with two text frames, then perhaps you didn't have your text frame selected when you did the Place operation?
I dragged out a box and with the insertion point blinking and then went to import. Is that what you mean by having it selected or do I select the text box with the arrow tool?
-
Upon restarting I am now able to import that document but the text isn't positioned the way I set up the text box. I had to go back and reposition the text box because it made it's own text box on import.
-
I tried to import a .docx file and it locks up every time.
-
Ok, that makes sense. I suppose that way you can you could see a preview image of each version in the Finder anyways. I'll just do it that way.
-
I just noticed the clip feature which is a pretty neat function. I would like to make an unclipped version of the project I am working on and was wondering can I have both version in the same file? Do I make a duplicate of this file and have two separate files? When I make variations with Design and Publisher I do it within the same file.
-
Exporting this file seems to be working a lot better in the recent build. My fan barely starts up now. Export felt like about five seconds.
-
It seemed like they updated right after I saved. I should also mention they show up over 95% of the time. Nothing is disappearing at the moment. My other computer didn't have this problem (although I am not on that computer too much.) The file is 155MB, no where near 1.5GB. There are probably 30 layers including nested layers.
-
Just to add to this bug I noticed that a group of images will disappear when I put them into a group. One time they reappeared right after I hit save.
-
Just as I was making the post the images came back. You can see how in one of the images the boxes are blank and then the birds came back in the other one.

With some help I was able to get the white balance and layers bugs resolved in 128. I hope this means the release candidate of Photo will come soon as well!
