Just purchased Affinity Windows version today. Why would the shape or position of the histogram be different when viewed in the Develop Persona compared to the Photo Persona. Attached are two screen dumps, 1) A RAW file just prior to developing, 2) The same image immediately after being developed. I find it difficult to adjust a RAW image due to the positioning of the graph in the Develop Persona. My camera is an Olympic EPM1, the image is an ORF. 2016-12-11_220225.pdf 2016-12-11_220309.pdf

Happ Friday all B-) Whats the blackpoint adjustment in develop persona equivalent in photo persona? Cheers Peter

I just downloaded beta and found it to be somewhat familiar to Draw 8 and that's good. My problem is I drag and drop JEPG into application and it does not come up with photo persona, I always end up in draw persona. I have looked through many menus looking for photo persona and can't find it. Running windows 7 (64 bit). What going on......Thanks

It would be great to have global clipping warnings inside of the regular Photo persona. Photoshop has implemented clipping warning overlays as part of a few tools, such as Levels and Curves, but it won't for instance help you when you are trying to use the dodge and burn tools to get a pure white or pure black background and other workflows. Since I assume that this is already planned as part of the Curves and Levels improvements on the roadmap, I would suggest to make it a view option, accessible either from the View menu or in the Histogram/Scopes panels that can be used at any time, with any of the tools available instead of adding it only to two or meticulously adding it to all sorts of adjustments manually. Holding Option inside Levels/Curves and on the Luminosity slider in HSL adjustments, Black&White etc. would then temporary toggle that option to the opposite of its current setting (i.e. on when it's off and off when it's on). Video cameras often implement the overlay as a zebra pattern, and you can customize the threshold at which it shows up. That's actually a useful workflow for other areas as well. For instance, you could have your clipping warnings at 95% if you wanted to see which areas are reaching a range that while they might not be clipped, would not show detail when offset printing the image. A preference to animate a zebra pattern inside the clipping warning, like the marching ants of selections do, would also make it help stand out when the image is visually very similar to the overlay pattern.

I first encountered this a few weeks ago, but was not too bothered since it can be fixed using filters in Photo. However, the more I revisit the issue, the more it seems not right - it just should not happen and what's the point of having a function in Develop if it does not transfer to Photo? Here's the issue: I developed a NEF of a swan in Develop. Part of the image was not as sharp as I would have liked but going to the Details tab was great! However, when I switch to Photo, the sharpening is lost.
