mopani Posted April 6, 2020 Posted April 6, 2020 I"m having an ongoing problem with Affinity photo 1.8.2 on a MacBook pro running the latest version of Catalina. With a jpeg some of the adjustments aren't working - I tried them all and I'd say around half. So no changes whatsoever with about half the adjustments which makes the application unusable. If I work on another jpeg things will be fine for a while then some of the adjustments start to play up. I was going to upload an .af file but it's too big. Anybody else having this problem and are there any solutions? Thanks Quote
John Rostron Posted April 6, 2020 Posted April 6, 2020 Firstly, it would help if you gave your post a meaningful title, such as "Adjustments not working". Anyway, here are some suggestions, in no particular order: Have you tried using the latest version, 1.8.3, to see if this resolves your problem? It would help if you listed the adjustments that do work and those that do not. You say your image is a jpeg. Strictly, a jpeg is an image storage format, not an on-screen or display format. Can you please confirm that your image layer is in Pixel format. The layer name should include the word (Pixel). If not, then use Layer > Rasterise and see if the adjustments work. Are you viewing the result of your adjustments at 100%? Sometimes lower magnifications do not show properly.

IanSG Posted April 6, 2020 Posted April 6, 2020 I've had a couple of occassions when random "stuff" stopped working in AP. Resetting by pressing <ctrl> while the program starts has fixed it. I assume the reset's the same on macOS, just substituting <cmd> for <ctrl>. Quote AP, AD & APub user, running Win10
