ronnyb Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Congrats on the new beta guys. Been working on them for a bit. Here's a bug I found: try overlapping two Art text objects with Perspective Live filter applied on each one independently.

A_B_C Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 What I always wanted to know … I wonder why objects with layer effects and live filters applied look somewhat different at different zoom levels. Is there a deeper reason? See my simple test file below. :unsure: Strange.afphoto Zoom.mov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anon1 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 There is some factor involved which is not set properly and they want to fix this. Also the thing with noise reduction which seems to be different at different zoom levels.... A_B_C 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p_mac Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 I tried the stack feature in the last iteration but could not use it with my raw images. I needed to change it to tiff format.

Tatyana Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Hi Tatiana, The maximum dimension of PSD files is 30.000px. Hi, MEB! Thank you very much for the answer. I asked because the size was in previous versions. The new beta version indicated that the size of the export file is changed in the PSD. Hence the question, why write "-Improved file size of PSD export"? And I have a question, whether the Russian language? Tatyana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

user1984 Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Since I use the new Beta and add a PS-Plug-in folder, AP hangs at startup. I have to kill the app everytime. What can I do, to run the app again? -- Regards Torsten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A_B_C Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Hmm, what about this one … create a rectangle marquee selection, enter quick mask mode and use the Alignment Panel … is the behavior shown in my video correct? :unsure: Alignment.mov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardB Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Tried the auto-align stack setting (scale, rotate & translate) with four astronomical images but it didn't do any alignment at all. Am I missing something? I can align the images by hand, but it is tedious when rotations are needed as well as translations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardB Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Tried the auto-align stack setting (scale, rotate & translate) with four astronomical images but it didn't do any alignment at all. Am I missing something? I can align the images by hand, but it is tedious when rotations are needed as well as translations. Further to the above, I tried the auto-align stack feature again with two images that I took specifically for the purpose. The 'Perspective' alignment worked well. The 'Translate, rotate & scale' setting attempted an alignment but without success. I tried two of the astronomical images again using the 'Perspective' setting but no alignment seemed to be attempted. The ability to align astronomical shots taken with an unguided telescope would be most useful. Could it be the nature of the image (it's the Pleiades) that is the problem?

Lojza Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Hi, It seems that the international character input still isn't fixed well in this beta. For instance, it's not possible to type "Ě". The sign above is flipped, so "Ê" is shown instead. It's not even possible to paste the correct character from different app (text editor). Could you please look into it..?

Dave Harris Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Lojza, I just tried copying and pasting ĚÊ from your post into the current Photo beta and both displayed correctly. This also worked with the Mac App Store version. I was using Arial. Perhaps there is an issue specific to a particular font? Lojza 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lojza Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Hi Dave, OMG, you're right... Francois One from Google web fonts is the culprit. Ě and Ř are badly designed.
