Hi, when I try to select a Spare Channel (or any other channels) with "Ctrl-Clic" from the View > Studio > Channels Panel, the contextual menu does not appear (nothing append), It only appears if you clic on the very-very right part of the panel... When watching this tutorial, this issue does not appear there https://affinity.serif.com/en-us/tutorials/photo/desktop/video/334283412/ (Btw Contextual menu on layer panel are fine) Looks like a UI issue ? Nice w-e to everyone ! Mac OSX 10.13 / Affinity Photo 1.8.4 / Mac Pro 3.1

Hello, I am consistently struggling to use the channels panel. When I watch the tutorial I see James right clicking the channels and receiving a host of option. However I am completely unable to right click any of the channels or the pixel selection option. I've had this issue with both version 1 and version 2. Any ideas why this isn't working for me? Thanks!

hi, I don't know if this has been reported: when using psd files with spare channels it is really hard to load these to pixel selection. You have to right click on a very special point over the channel name to get the dialog. Right clicking on thumbnail or name is not working. I made a short video where my clicks are marked with a blue circle. can anyone else confirm this behavior? MacOS 10.14.6 / Affinity Photo 1.7.3 right_click.mov

I've reset to default, restarted, etc. and still I don't see any drop-downs or choices to load a channel. What am I doing wrong? Is there some other way to load a channel other than right-clicking on the channel?

Hi there, if I control-click on a channel in the Channels palette, I was expecting to see a pop-up menu, but am not getting one. I'm trying to duplicate a channel.

This may happen elsewhere too but this is the first time I've encountered it. If you click along the area (likely) covered by the name label, the context click (right-click or control-click) does not work. Click in the small area above or below the label, and it does. See attached video. This happens both on internal and external screen so does not _appear_ to be another retina-vs-non-retina behavior. macOS 11.2.2, APh 1.9.1, MBP2018 Screen_Recording_2021-03-05_at_8_50.51_AM.mov

I am a brand new user of Affinity Photo. I was following the guide at Get Started for selecting a channel from the Channels Panel, but control-click was not bringing up the contextual menu for the channel. It seemed that I had no way to work with channels. I discovered, however, that I could get it to work if I control-clicked in the narrow border *around* the label for the channel. The attached screenshot shows the contextual menu that I got when the tip of the arrow was about half-a-character below the "u" in the word "Blue". Clicking on the "u" itself failed to bring up the menu, so using repeated trial-and-error I could map out a long rectangle where responsiveness to the control-click was being occluded. This behavior occurred with every channel (Composite, Background, Pixel Selection), and persists with the v1.9.1.219 beta. Curiously, the occlusion seems to affect only control-click, because I can still alter the state of the channels by an ordinary click, e.g., clicking on the label "Composite Red" enables Visible and Editable for that channel alone. My computer is a MacBook Pro with the built-in trackpad and macOS 10.15.7.

Hello, The Spare Channel context menu that should appear when I right-click on it, does not appear at all. I'm creating luminosity masks, but I can't use them as pixel selection for masks from the context menu, (neither rename the spare channel) I am using the last 1.8.6 version on MacOS 11.1, recently bought from the Mac App Store.

Can't find if this has been mentioned but... I can right click on Pixel Selection in channels and create spare channel but not right click on spare channel to do anything with it like rename etc! I'm using a Macbook Pro and trackpad and Affinity Photo 1.8.3

When i made a Pixel Seletion and created a reserve channel, i can't do anything with this channel anymore. In Version 1.6.7 i created a reserve channel and i can select this channel or i create from this channel a seletion, or ...! In Version 1.7.1 i created a reserve channel and i go to this channel, press cmd and klick the reserve channel and not a menu appears. Excuse me but i speak not good english!
