WalkInVerse Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 After getting a new laptop I installed affinity on the new mac running Catalina. Now it no longers shows the levels of where the colors are in the level or curve control. I never had this issue with my other mac. See diagram. No matter what I do it will not display. Shown is the level control. Curves do the same things. It makes it difficult to adjust as you don't know where it clips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cecil Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Sorry to ask the obvious question, have you selected the appropriate level for adjustment? Restart AP, holding Control, keep top three items checked.

WalkInVerse Posted January 4, 2020 Author Share Posted January 4, 2020 Hi Cecil. I did try that also. Not sure why it is doing this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff stokerg Posted January 5, 2020 Staff Share Posted January 5, 2020 Hi WalkInVerse, What are your display settings in MacOS? I wonder if its a scaling issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firstdefence Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 What are the settings in the Preferences Performance tab and do histograms display in other apps. Also does the histogram display in develop persona?

WalkInVerse Posted January 5, 2020 Author Share Posted January 5, 2020 Here are the settings. It doesn't show on the new mac. But I do not remember the setting set on the older machines as I formatted it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v_kyr Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 There might be still some glitches due to the newest OSX Catalina and Metal acceleration in this case, however did you tried what happens if you use the integrated GPU instead of the dedicated one? Also I think "Dither gradients" isn't needed or enabled as default.

firstdefence Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 For testing purposes can you drop the Display option to OpenGL, this will require a restart of Affinity Photo. Once Affinity Photo has restarted test the display of the histogram, if it's still the same you can change it back to Metal. Another option would be with metal selected as the Display method uncheck Metal Acceleration and test again.
