Photo - DevelopPersona: artefacts


Recommended Posts

the develop-persona of Photo offers a crop-tool - The crop-tool offers a rotate-button.
Clicking on it does not rotate the image, but just the crop-border (??).

After using that (useless?) rotation-button, Photo shows some artefacts, which change depending on the zoom-level and are not visibe in the developed image.

- open RAW-File
- select crop-tool
- click on rotate
- click on any other tool on the tool-bar 
the crop is processed, some transparent areas are added (which is ok and normal behavior of the Photo-crop-tool)

BUT

the transparent areas show some artefacts, please see attached video:

as far as I can say, these artefacts are not part of the developed image; -> it´s probably just a visual glitch.

Yes, the rotate button surprised me, I wish it worked the same as Photolab but hey ho...
If you need to rotate the image then put the cursor outside of one of the corner points and it will change to a rotate arrow.

Alternatively, with the cursor over the image, hold <ctrl> and you can use the spirit level to align horizontal or vertical.
The corners are a pain, Photolab crops them automatically but you'll either do that yourself or try the attached macro which fills in the gaps, it's successful 9 times out of 10. If you see artifacts in the corners then they need to be erased before running the macro. Good luck

Here I opened a raw file, clicked develop with no adjustment. Went back to Develop persona and rotated it. Artefact in the corner. Rotation in the Photo persona works.

To be honest I think that APhoto is poor for processing raw files compared with Photolab which is one of the best

I tried to replicate what you get but it works flawlessly on my side. It looks like a rendering issue.
