  1. EVERYONE does. And Affinity is not even ADDRESSING the issue (let alone fixing it)...
  2. Dear Affinity, this bug has been around since JUNE 2019 (and maybe even earlier - but that's when I noticed it!)... See date of first post about your bug: When EXACTLY are you going to release a fix?? We are now in October 2019 - and slowly approaching the year 2020 - and still no feedback (or update on you "working feverishly" to fix this)... We bought the Affinity software exactly because it promised to work flawlessly, and hand-in-hand, with Mac OS and it's base photos application (Photos) where everything is stored before editing with your software, and will continue to be, after the edit/s with your software... Please be so kind as to reply to all of us waiting for this fix!
  3. YES YES YES!!! AMAZING!!! THANK YOU!!! So, what you (we) did, essentially, is manipulate the entire blue sky (instead of just the darker contour that I wanted to get rid of), right? But if that's what we did, then how come the darker AND lighter blue areas didn't change shade at the same rate (leaving both areas with the same shade difference between themselves)?? This is probably why I never thought of trying to manipulate the selective colors (as I thought that had I changed a "blue" color - in the OVERALL image - it wouldn't change anything, since the darker area would always remain just as dark compared to the lighter one, as I would be increasing/decreasing their shade/brightness TOGETHER). That's why I thought that the only way to do this would have been to select the darker "aura"/contour/outline, somehow, and affect ONLY that; so that it would match the lighter area... And then, once that was done - and both areas were the same, I could THEN affect the selective color (blue in this case) to make it how I liked (since both areas would have then been the same)... It would be great if you could explain this, so that I can understand the logic and apply it to the next situation that's similar to this! **"Don't give me a free fish, teach me how to fish, so I won't bother you again!"
  4. not sure - i think post-editing. Was trying to make the colors more vibrant (as they were in real life but the camera hadn't captured them as they were), so maybe in the editing process this darker outline/contour occurred. Beats me. The point is to fix it though..
  5. Is there a QUICK & EASY way to get rid of the "aura" around the palm trees? I do not want to replace the sky with another one (I like the real one as is), and the point is to not waste endless time going around every single leaf to mask etc etc. I am hoping that there is some kind of tool by which I can just draw roughly around the outline of the leaves (roughly = with a thick pointer) and, "bam", I get that annoying darker-blue outline/"aura" of the tree leaves (which makes the photo look fake) to disappear, and the palm trees' leaves to blend in perfectly with the rest of the blue sky! (So that there's no color/shade difference between the sky that's around the leaves and the rest of the sky). Is there such a tool/method?
  6. no worries - I found another one that shows everything! GREAT VIDEO!! Thanks for replying though!
  7. AMAZING!! Love this tool! In the second part of the video it shows how it's better to create a pixel layer (to fix the man being deleted). Wouldn't it be better to ALWAYS use a pixel layer for this global cloning? Meaning won't this always be the better way of doing things since you will always have the flexibility of fixing/deleting things after you've started cloning (should the need arise)? Or are there some situations in which NOT using a pixel layer for global cloning?
  8. EDIT: I restarted AP and reopened both images in AP and now it works... Weird. Not working. I get as far as setting the source item on the source photo, but it does not do the rest!... In my case, image 1 is the main image / target image, and image 2 is the source image. When i go to image 2 and open the sources panel, i choose clone brush tool, i double click on the source file thumbnail in the sources panel to select it, i then go to the "common"/reference item (a projector in my case) in the source image (2), and click in its center to select it. Then, like you did, i get that tiny circle inside the source image's thumbnail (which shows where the reference item is in the source image). At this point, I get a clone preview image inside my clone brush tool's circle pointer (just like you did!). Following your instructions, I then go to image 1's tab (clone brush tool was selected already), and then i click on the source image thumbnail in the sources panel. Nothing happens then! Meaning that, in your video, you get the preview image in your clone brush's pointer at this point. But I don't! My clone tool's circle-pointer is just transparent and shows no preview of the reference item (the projector) that I had supposedly referenced in the previous step/tab. ( I had gotten the preview image in the previous step but not in this one!). So, it seems, that I cannot go any further! BTW. I am using the latest available AP version. Has this process changed??
  9. ****EDIT!! I just discovered yesterday that, even though the most common (& easiest) method of right-clicking on image in Photos and selecting Edit In Affinity Photo still doesn't work; the other method, finally D (described below) DOES!! There must have been some kind of an issue with my Photos app (problems occur very often with open apps, when the macbook's cover is shut and reopened later and mac wakes up from sleep...). I discovered that I had to shut the Photos app down, and reopen it, and I then COULD edit and save back into Photos directly (using the workaround-method below, of course). ***So if anyone else is having the same problem I was (not even being able to use the workaround method, below), then check if this is "fixed" if you shut down Photos app and reopen it! ***The workaround method = Instead of right-clicking the image (or thumbnail) in Apple Photos to invoke the context menu and pick the Edit With option; you double-click the thumbnail to display the image, click the Edit button on the top right, then the ellipsis icon and select the Edit in Affinity Photo extension, it will save your changes back to Apple Photos after you finish editing the image in Affinity Photo." But, of course, we are still waiting for the update from the developers with when they are going to fix regular/fast right-click method that has stopped working for months!
  10. DEAR AFFINITY DEVELOPERS! As this forum is meant to be your "hangout" and you read all the problems customers/users are having in order to fix them, please let us know RIGHT AWAY when you will fix this HUGE BUG that your software has had over the last MONTHS. We bought AP exactly because it claimed to work flawlessly with macs and their included apps (especially Photos). Now it SIMPLY DOES NOT WORK WITH PHOTOS AND IT IS CAUSING A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH OUR WORKFLOW (we might as well have bought any 3rd party app that wasn't Mac-related...). So please reply ASAP regarding WHEN EXACTLY you will fix this bug in your software. Thank you.
  11. We have been waiting for MONTHS for the developers to let us know what is going on... HELLO DEVELOPERS?
  12. DOESN 'T WORK FOR ME ANYMORE EITHER!! Instead of Affinity fixing the problem, now even the workaround no longer works!!
  13. ok this is crazy - still no fix after all these months?? Is there a way to contact the devs to get a reply?....
  14. Hi, I this forum IS the developers' "hangout" (and that they respond here too with updates). No?
  15. YES! That worked!! Thanks!! But strange that it works like that, though, and not in the first way..
  16. You used to be able to right-click on a photo in Mac OS's Photos app, select "edit with... Affinity Photo", make your edits in AP, press Save and FINITO, the edited/fixed file was directly saved into its original location in Mac OS Photos. Seamlessly, simply and FAST. Now this is no longer possible!! I know this is a bug you have been aware of for over a month, but as we still have no feedback, I thought that writing it in the appropriate section would help AP's developers speed this CRUCIAL fix up ASAP (by reminding them)! Dear Developers please hurry! One of the main reasons we love Affinity is because of its ability to work flawlessly & seamlessly with Mac OS.
  17. Any news yet on the fix? Will we get a notification somewhere to know when this is fixed?
  18. At least that means that I have not being doing something wrong. Will we get a notification somewhere to know when this is fixed?
  19. I used to be able to save directly into my mac's photos app. I would open a photo within photos app, right click on the photo, edit with, affinity photo app. After I made my edits, I would press save in AP, and then the original photo in my photos app would simply be replaced by my new edited one. Easy and fast. Now, however I just followed the same process, pressed save in AP, AP said that it's "exporting", and after it was finished exporting, the original photo in my photos app remains unchanged!! What am I doing wrong?? And where did the file that was "exporting" even go??
  20. I already HAVE my company's logo - so I don't want to write text as shown in the video - how can I do what is shown in the video but instead of typing the text, import my existing logo (and then affect opacity, shadows etc etc)?
