Purpose: Features / Improvements / Fixes Status: Beta Requirements: Purchased Affinity Photo Mac App Store: Not Submitted Download: Here To use this beta, simply download the file from the link given above and double-click on the file to open the installer. Follow the instructions to install the beta version. The beta sits alongside the Mac App Store version and will not interfere with it. Please Note: We will do our utmost to fix anything that emerges as quickly as possible, but we just wanted you to understand that for production work we would recommend using the Mac App Store version until this beta has been validated for a few weeks. Notable changes: - New “Affinity Retouching” Extension for the Photos App on OS X El Capitan. Now includes haze removal! - New “Live Stacks” capability - File -> New Stack. Auto alignment is currently not present - it will be added in a subsequent beta. - New support in the Develop Persona for multiple engines - added “Core Image RAW” as a new engine. Use the Develop Assistant to specify your preferred engine. - New support for Pantone colours - including PDF/X import and export. Pantones available in the Swatches panel. - New alpha selection features - Select -> Alpha Range -> Opaque / Transparent / Partially Transparent. - New “Clipping Preview” function for Levels adjustment (Option key while dragging). - New blend mode - “Contrast Invert”. - Certain adjustments (Levels, Curves, Channel Mixer) can now be applied in any colour space - so you could add a LAB curves adjustment to an RGB document, for example. - Perspective filter (single plane) can now be applied as a Live Filter. - New UI in Preferences to list detected plugins and indicate if they are expected to work - the list updates each time you run the app (if you have an internet connection). We will be populating the list over the coming few days (we may need your help!). - The Move tool can now be told to move a layer, but not children of that layer. It’s an option on the context toolbar and will only show up if you have a non-group layer selected which has child layers. - Numerous PSD export / import improvements - Some fixes that should help create PSD files that FCPX and Motion can import. Fixed import vector masking issue with subtractive masks. PSD export can now export efficient flat image which decreases files sizes for flat RGB images). - You can now double click the empty view (with no documents loaded) to load a document. - Keyboard shortcuts are now properly saved for tools. - Numerous improvements to vector import / export - especially for PDF/X. - Fix for incorrectly exporting the opposite of what the user requested with the ‘1x’/‘2x’/‘3x’ options in Export Persona. - Fix for documents with Pixel unit types incorrectly loading into the Mac App Store version (just open your document and save it again in this version to fix). - Numerous Help improvements. - Numerous minor bug fixes - including masks.

in cut tool? I added some presets just for testing, and do not find a way to delete these again. Even after complete new installation from scratch the previously generated custom presets are still there. !
