    Hey Omprakash Selvaraj,

    I've seen this reported before but a lot of the issues in our database are marked as fixed regarding brush previews.

    What model are you using and what driver do you have installed?

    Do you have 'Show brush previews' enabled in Preferences > User Interface? 

    'Show bush previews' were enabled by default.

    What helped me in this case was Installing Wacom tablet software from Wacom site. This updated pen and tablet drivers.

    Now it is working.

    Thank you Chris for reminding about drivers. 

     

     

    Brush does not appear round automatically when using Wacom Pen

    in [ARCHIVE] Photo beta on Windows threads

    I am using Wacom Pen and tablet for retouching on Affinity Photo 1.7 beta.

    The issue is that when I use wacom pen and go and click Brush Icon in the tool box and come back to image area, the cursor or pointer still appears as pointer instead of round shaped brush.

    For bringing round shape, I always have to move mouse slightly and then start using the pen.

    This is not show stopper, but a real usability issue for pen users. We have to place the pen down and use the mouse just to bring the cursor into brush shape and then start using pen.

    A true Lightroom Photoshop combo replacement

    Affinity Photo 1.7 beta completely replaced my Photoshop needs. 

    I would like to have a Digital Asset Management software like Lightroom from Affinity. This will enable culling and then taking them to Affinity Photo for more detailed work.

    So how to do image management until we get another gem from Affinity?

    Nikon View NX-i does the job for basic image management. View NXi + Affinity Photo is a true replacement of subscription based Adobe Photography CC plan.

    I'm sure that Serif will work on updating the videos, once 1.7 is fully stable and released. Until then, any video they might make showing new or changed features is likely to become out-of-date as the code is modified during the beta process.

    Thank you Walt. It looked like the courses had been created and list was last updated on 2015. But we got 1.6 release in 2018 this year March. So I am sure, there are things to add.

    But not a show stopper. We can manage to use those features by seeing features list. 

    Create manually Frequency Separations layers

    Issue solved! This is useful to subtract one layer from the other, for example for Frequency separation.

     

    So this is how I did it for a 8 bits image (16 bits should need a change in the 2 and .5 values bellow)

     

    1 - Create two layers with the same image 

    2 - Change the layer bellow as you like (gaussian blur, median blur or anything else)

    3 - Make the top layer Linear Light (could be done afterwords but if you do it before Applying image, it's easy to see the result as it happens)

    4 - Apply image with the following parameters:

    Source: layer bellow modified

    Blend mode: Normal

    Equations: on

    DR=(DR-SR)/2+0.5

    DG=(DG-SG)/2+0.5

    DB=(DB-SB)/2+0.5

    DA=DA (no change to the Alpha )

     

    A couple of explanations. In the equations:

    DR stands for Destination Red an is the value of the Red in the layer you chose to Apply image (in this case the top Layer)

    SR stands for Source Red and is the value of the Red in the source layer (in this case the layer bellow)

    The 2 and 0.5 are based on this info: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/channel-calculations.html (look for "Add and Subtract blending modes")

     

    Hope this helps for future reference.

    Well Done Martin! I was looking for this. Excellent job! Thank you!

    Have fun with Affinity Photo!

    Best wishes from the Affinity Documentation Team!

     

    The courses have been created and list was last updated on 2015. But we got 1.6 release in 2018 this year March. So I am sure, there are things to add.

    Since version 1.7 beta is out with loaded features, I wish these tutorials are revisited to cover new features.

    Was as regular ps user for one year.  Moved to affinity few days back, due to the greed based monopoly subscription model of ps.

    It is just bad for the art to let just one tool a strong dependency. Had been searching for alternatives.

    Bought 1.6 version of Affinity photo. Initially slightly disappointed that it could not replace ps for what I was doing for last one year.

    Just after that day of purchase I came to know beta 1.7 is out.

    When I use 1.7, it could do everything for my work. It gives same feeling as I was using ps. I am confident that there won’t be such bad dependency in the art of photography anymore.

    Cheers Affinity!

     

    Unable to make any edit but able to create layers

    in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on iPad Questions

    Posted

    I was working in Affinity photo for iPad.

    In one image, I created layers and did some basic tonal changes. Ran a macro that came with Windows version.

    Now I am able to create layers but when ever I do any pixel edits like paint or clone or any tonal changes, nothing happens. I am able ot see value gets changed in tool. But does not appear in image. Ex. I am increasing Temperature. But image remains same. Did I click any lock or something.

     

    But new projects work fine. Only this specific file shows this behavior.

     

    Thanks in advance.
