I have weird issue where I set the size to 5x7 in but when printed it is not 5x7 in. size issue.afpub IMG_1448.HEIC -
See image attached, in the bottom left corner when I open a RAW image (Nikon D800 .nef), there's a square/block that's just a re-rendered copy from another part of the image. It goes away when I close the image and open it again and only happens for the first image I open during an editing session.

Can anyone recommend a cheap graphics card that complies with the requirements for Affinity Photo's recommended hardware specs for graphics accelleration. John -
Hello, Where am I going wrong, please? I want to cut out the policeman’s cap. 1 I crop the image so I can see just the cap. 2 I cut out using the pen tool 3 I click mask 4 I Cmd-C and Cmd-V into a new Affinity Photo file. See RBhBwyuhb6K3E2Y1AnDVaIsa9z4hkk The issue I have is that this takes over the cropped elements of the file. Help appreciated! Will -
There seems no simple way to add a background color to a textbox from within Affinity Photo. Am I missing something? I've enclosed an image below to display what I am trying to do but seem unable. Thank you for your assistance. Doug .

Having issues when trying to paste. I first make a marquee selection in a photo, long tap with one finger, select copy, long tap with one finger, select paste, and it pastes the whole image in another layer. It does not paste what I had selected. Even if I take that same selection and inverse it and select cut, it cuts the whole picture. It’s as if it doesn’t know I have a selection. I’ve been trying to figure this out for a long, long time and now I’ve just given up. Please help. -
Every time I want to start affinity photo it crashes. After first installation it had the same problems but at once open a file direkt in affinity it starts. Now the same bug comes up. It does not help to install an older version, every time the same bug. Designer and Publisher works great and even in publisher I can switch to the photo persona and it works. Maybe some base files are corrupted any chance to delete them or is there a safe start option for photo. If I open affinity photo by apple photo edit in affinity photo it starts and works, but only for this session. I am working on a MacBook Air 2020 with the newest updates of BIGSUR and Affinity but problem was existing before.

The official MAS downloaded Designer v1.9.1 update tells BETA (?) ... BTW, same for the Photo pendant!

An oddly specific bug I just discovered in Photo - unsure of whether this shows up in Designer too. While sketching out an ornate frame design, I used the symmetry tool with a brush, and everything proceeded as usual. I then used Shift to create a straight line and noticed that the stroke automatically coloured certain parts red - screenshot attached. I tried a few different brushes and ended up with the same result (as you can see), but only when using my tablet pen/stylus - this didn't happen when clicking with the mouse and holding Shift. The layers I worked on didn't have any FX applied, and red was not a colour I had selected (my foreground and background colours were black and white). I've done a quick screen recording for reference: https://youtu.be/blPZMQsAhNQ It's not embedded as a glitch into the document/file though, as I can easily use a "Colour Overlay" effect to change it back to black.

I don't seem to be able to get Photo or Designer to start after switching to 1.9. I tried to look at the prob -- it seems they crash right after scanning the fonts, but unable to determine why. I'll attach a procmon trace in xml format. The 257MB trace shrank to 6.7M in 7z format. Running Win7SP1x64 on an 8-core (Hyper threading disabled), 96G RAM, w/6-10GB GPU mem on a GeForce RTX 2080 Ti. I haven't used either product extensively since the long time to startup made me lose interest in doing anything. I keep hoping that someone will take the font performance issue seriously, such that it is eliminated, since the serif apps are the only ones with such a problem on every startup, even though I almost never used the font features in photoshop (not a big part of my workflow). They have gotten better, but I note that many of the fonts are read twice and for some reason the font-reading process does a disk-status call with each font lookup, so it doesn't look like much time has been spent trying to make it efficient or fast, not to mention doing the whole font read-in once and caching it -- then updating the cache only when new fonts have been added. Also besides reading the font resources in a background thread, could also get some serious improvement by splitting up the job across multiple cores and merging the results via shared memory, though even a merge-sort on 'N' result files (N maybe # of cores) would likely give a strong speedup. Of course being the masochist that I am, I'll startup both photo+designer at same time because I don't know them very well and not sure which has which features that I might want to try. But now, doesn't want to startup at all. Any ideas? Especially since both crash now? :-( photo-procmon.7z Designer-CrashReports.7z photo_CrashReports.7z -
Hi, I'm getting confused how Affinity Photo handles "Color Formats" like RGB8, RGB16, RGB32. Question 1: How many colors are displayed for and RGB8 Color Format? To test how many colors are visible, i created a very simple test document: Create new 3840x2160 document with RGB8 and P3 profile Create a procedural text filter which creates the smoothest possible gradient from black to white. This will create steps of 1/3840 create a second procedural text filter which creates steps of 1 /256 (and is adjustable by the slides for later steps) Now the fun part begins. If you disable / enable the top layer you will see visible changes - meaning Photo will display a gradient with smaller steps than possible in 8 bit. Changing the blend mode of the top layer to "difference" will confirm both layers are different. This is a surprise for me. You may need a levels adjustment to emphasize the difference. Actually it seems like Photo is rendering a much higher color channel depth than 8 bit - even if the pixel layer is restricted to 8 bit. Is there a good explanation for this observation? My assumption is that RGB8 layers are strictly limited to 8 bit depth for each color channel, and only 256 different gray scales are possible. But the observations above prove it wrong. -
I use curves in Photo a LOT. Since I updated to 1.9, I can't access curves from the adjustment window. This is all I get now. Am I missing something?

Hi, since Release 1.9, the effect of lens correction seems to be very limited: rotation to -10..+10, and you can't enter higher values As i use lens correction rotation regularly as it provides a much finer control (0.1 degree) compared to crop or layer transformation, this is a step back from +/-25 % before (until 1.8.5) Hor/vert shows value of +/+100, but effect is extremley limited. I have many picture which require far more room for adjustment. If i could get a life filter in photo persona which would allow these transformation with reasonable range (rotate +/-180 degree, hor/vert to get at least 45 degree angle), i could live with the "reduced" state in develop persona.

ON1 emailed me today promoting their latest plugin. "The new version includes performance enhancements and new features that make it even easier and faster to resize photos without losing sharpness and detail." My question is, given that Affinity Photo has photo enlarging features, do I need this as well? Does anyone know how they compare? I ask because some of my photo-based artwork looks fine at 5"x7" but I want to create professional art prints at 11x14. Thanks. -
is there a way to create “half drop” repeat patterns in version 1.9 or does it limit you to only single image simple even patterns? How about patterns with multiple images? Also, Can I import other elements from another file or another layer to incorporate it into the repeat pattern layer? -
Hi, when using a RGB document and then a curves layer with LAB color space, affinity becomes totally slow. I added a DOF filter like James Ritson in his 1.9 Youtube today, when you mode the center it takes about 1 second to update. rainbow lab curves slow.afphoto

Hi, On W10 and with AP 1.0.0.932, i get several strage observations: Blend ranges give strange results. i tried to limit the recolor on one or two channels, e.g. by reducing red channel participation to zero. The result leads always to no recolor at all.This might be by design, but then the GUI shuld give a hint, e.g. only allowing to adjust master, and no individual channels. The Blend range dialog appears in the middle of the screen first. But when i try to move it, it goes straight to the top, and cannot removed from the top. Might be related (side effect) to the LG / DELL OnScreen Control Performance with OpenCL aktive is poor, much slower than without OpenCL. I have a capable GTX 1080, new driver, etc. Photo becomes totally laggy, sometimes hanging, often need to wait several seconds for every mouse click. rainbow.afphoto

On the 9.7″ screen of my iPad Air 2 there is insufficient room to display the descriptions of some items offered for download. Also affects version 1.9.0 of Affinity Photo for iPad.

Seeing openCL is causing problems on AP version 1.9, the old version 1.8 should be made available again.

Running macOS Big Sur (11.2) and the Affinity Photo/Designer 1.9 updates are not in app store. I was able to download them on my iMac using an older OS . . . -
'Export' from Photo - png and gifs are fine, but jpgs only want to 'save as' affinity files. Same problem with Designer.

Hello … I just installed the 1.9 update for Affinity Photo. Upon re-opening, I noted that there were downloads available. I clicked the little 'download' icon for each and was under the impression they were downloading to my desktop (MacG5, macOS Sierra). Upon closing Photo, there were (and are) no downloads on my desktop nor in the Downloads or Documents folder(-s) in Dock. WHERE are these downloads set to go? They are not on my Mac. Ergo, the question them becomes: Is there a way to RE-download them and to CHOOSE which location they're downloaded TO? Thanks for your assistance. Richard -
What do the experts say: add a curves adjustment, select the alpha channel select the color picker Should the picker select the alpha or the lightness value to find which part of the curve to ajust? In my experiments, it selected the lightness, which might be not what you expect when modifying alpha. curves alpha picker.afphoto
