valorbyte Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Attached is a video of the issue. In short, I am no longer able to use the "Noise" feature with gradient fill. I am using the latest version from the Mac App Store (1.8.4). GradientFillNoiseFilterNotWorking.mov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 I just checked here on Mac OS 10.12.6 and can add that if I start with a solid colour which has noise and change to a Gradient fill the gradient fill will have that level of noise on both stops but as soon as I change to a different level/amount of noise for a stop then the noise is cleared from that stop.

Staff MEB Posted August 14, 2020 Staff Share Posted August 14, 2020 Hi valorbyte, Welcome to Affinity Forums Thanks for reporting this issue. It's indeed a regression from v1.8.3. I'm logging this to be looked at. @Old Bruce, I'm not able to reproduce this here (on Mojave) and unfortunately don't have access to a macOS Sierra system. We will see if someone from tech/QA can check this. Thanks for reporting it. If anyone else is also seeing the same issue on Sierra please let us know.

Old Bruce Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 @MEB After further investigation the problem occurs if I use the colour from the Gradient panel from the context toolbar. Original ... Editing ... If I use the Colour panel from the Studio menu then I can change the noise while selecting the nodes on the gradient tool.

Old Bruce Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 This was a problem in All the applications. I am happy to. say that it is fixed in the latest (Mac) beta for Photo 1.9.0.196 . No Designer or Publisher betas yet. Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.4 Affinity Designer 2.4.1 | Affinity Photo 2.4.1 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.1 | Beta versions as they appear.

Like, would like more if… Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Have only just discovered this, using Designer 1.8.6 on MacOS Catalina 10.15.7, not had the need for it for a few months. Can find no palette or option that makes this function correctly. It's one of the great features for making illustrations feel more tactile and less classic vector. Please fix this ASAP. Shouldn't be too complicated as you have identified it as a regression to previous code error and this was working really well previously. Hoping I don't need to update some of the images that have employed this in the past any time soon. There is no work around, the function no longer works in Designer, Photo or Publisher.

Staff MEB Posted January 6, 2021 Staff Share Posted January 6, 2021 Hi @Like, would like more if…, Welcome to Affinity Forums This issue was already fixed in the Customer Betas (which you can download from the Beta section in our Forums in case you are willing to give them a try). The fix will be included in the next retail update (v1.9). Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Like, would like more if… Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 That's good news, when can we expect v1.9?

Like, would like more if… Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Hopeful that v1.9 would bring this apparently already fixed in Beta repair to something that had separated the app from the dreaded AI, I downloaded to find nothing had changed… until I pasted in a textured grad from an old illustration. And now works… weird. May help if yours doesn't work straight off! In addition something odd has happened to my sample pipette (tools and colour window) and text layer icons (layer menu)… they seem to have shrunk. Not the end of the world, but a bit odd.

Staff MEB Posted March 1, 2021 Staff Share Posted March 1, 2021 Hi @ronanski, Have you updated to v1.9.1? I'm not sure to what issue(s) you are referring specifically but all mentioned in this thread should be fixed in v1.9.1 (maybe except the small icons - i believe a couple may still have to be fixed).

ronanski Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 sounds silly but cannot work out how to update, where do i go to do this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted March 1, 2021 Staff Share Posted March 1, 2021 It depends on where you bought the application. Check this thread, the Installation of Software and Updates section.

OllyH Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Hello. I'm also having the same issue. Have had Designer from (from Affinity website, 90-day demo version initially) v1.9.1, recently updated to v1.9.2. Issue still persists (it's not a deal-breaker for me, just when trying stuff out found it wasn't working.)

Running Mac OS Big Sur, 11.0.1 on MacBook 12" Early 2015 OK, this seems to be solved, having downloaded a file that had the Gradient Noise already used in it. Now the feature works even after closing the document and Designer, then re-opening. Very weird, but seems in line with the experience a few posts back. Seems to be reproducible at least. EDIT: Spoke too soon. Functionality is gone after a second load of the app. Very strange. Edited April 1, 2021 by OllyH Small update Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why has this still not been properly addressed? If I paste in a noisy grad from an old file I can use and copy, but no edits to noise "stick". Adding a new colour into a grad is also a killer to the pasted grad and cannot have noise adjusted or added. I thought as previously mentioned that it had fixed itself, but this isn't the case and it seems to be more persistent than ever.

SeeJaneB Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 I used this feature successfully on last year's Christmas card, but as I'm designing this one (2021) with Publisher version 1.10.4, I can't get any gradient noise to stick. I use the slider and see no effect. once I exit the gradient color picker and go back to it, the noise slider is back to zero. I copy/pasted an element with noise from my old document and the noise displayed, but wouldn't stay if I changed the color. Is this a bug yet again?
