Staff Andy Somerfield Posted July 31, 2015 Staff Share Posted July 31, 2015 Purpose: Improvements / Fixes Status: Beta (Stable) 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. Improvements / Fixes - Improved PNG import - Fixed small radial and zoom blur artefacts. - Improve Develop performance when using Chromatic Aberration. - Pressing return key should commit a mesh warp. - Made the Black channel of CMYK visible on the histogram. - Fixed HSL and hex readouts in the info panel. - Attempted more fixes for users with inconsistently available system fonts. - Default JPEG export quality tweaks (may require ctrl-run and clear). - Fixed vignette tool hintline. - Fixed maximum / minimum blur sliders. - Fix for users running OS X 10.11 El Capitan Beta. - Improvements to vector export - particularly when converting colour formats. - Only show items in Export Persona which will be visible in the export. - Print what is shown in the view (i.e. do not honour exportability settings when printing, unless in Export Persona at the time). - Added ability to zoom to 100% by double-clicking the Zoom Tool's icon or 'Zoom to Fit' by double-clicking the View Tool. - Zoom Tool now zooms in/out during mouse drag about the drag start location. Zooming to a rectangle is still available by holding Alt/Option. Peter Werner and SeamusBerkeley 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasperD Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I´m a bit worried about the version identifier (1.3.1.26820), as what I got from the AppStore is 1.3.4 already... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi JasperD, Those come from different development trunks. The Beta is more advanced than the current MAS version despite the version numbers.

MikeFromMesa Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Still no improvement in the plugin functionality? I am still getting the same plugin crashes with this latest customer beta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billtils Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 When you released the very welcome update to the printing UI some releases back, it was mentioned that this was still a work in progress. Hope it is still on the radar, and if you'd like a hint or two - the ability to print a "contact sheet" of several small photos on an A4 (or US letter, or larger) sheet, and if you could mimic the Aperture UI in regards to the thumbnail changing in real time if/when you change any of the printer settings B). Oh, and Media Browser ... Thanks! Retina iMac (4K display, 1TB SSD, 16GB RAM) OS X 10.11.6 Capture One 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasperD Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 The Beta is more advanced than the current MAS version despite the version numbers. That´s exactly the reason for me being worried... In my professional career, more often than I care to remember have I seen old bugs reintroduced with new versions of highly professional (even system-) software, just because there was no correct versioning system in place. Mainly with Unix servers because that´s what we used at the time, but also with high end customer management software on MS Windows Server, in use at my last job.

aitte Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 @JasperD: Affinity Designer and Affinity Photo are different GUIs on top of the same rendering/fx/import/export core (that's a very clever thing and ensures both apps grow together and can interoperate with each others file formats). As you will see, both the Designer and Photo betas are now at v1.3.1.26820. The beta version number has nothing to do with the version it will be released as. And if you've ever worked with Git you know that version numbers don't matter. You merge all changes from one branch (beta) to the other (stable) when it's ready for release, and Git grabs all differences between the two branches. Nothing will regress or be accidentally left behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasperD Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Yeah, sure... I´ve heard them all - you don´t have to believe me - from this kind of replies up to ´this software is guaranteed to be bug-free!´. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff MEB Posted August 3, 2015 Staff Share Posted August 3, 2015 Hola VAHER, La versión Beta es una versión de desarrollo donde se ponen en ejecución y prueba las nuevas características antes de que se implementen en la versión comercial. Después de probar exhaustivamente las nuevas funciones, estas serán disponibles a través de una actualización en la Mac App Store.

marceln Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 "Affinity Photo Beta" is damaged and should be moved to the trash. Any idea what I did wrong? I downloaded. Moved to Application folder and double clicked to open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marceln Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Nevermind...it opens fine from the desktop. I screwed it up by trying to open before it fully copied to applications folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff MEB Posted August 7, 2015 Staff Share Posted August 7, 2015 Hi ysxlinux, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) Can you give us more details? Have you dragged the Affinity Photo app to the applications folder on the right after you double-clicked the dmg?

Jonas14 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Although several times a change of MEB promised. Recently probably approximately the 31.July 2015 (as it looked in the betas before - Anyway in the current version: 1.3.5.9 the bug is back Color selection Jul.09.2015, I can not say, I think the problem was already solved) www.donath-photographie.eu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
