I mean values of pixel positions which contain non-zero digits after the decimal point, which were not shown in prior versions (except you decided to statically increase then number of digits to be displayed) Mac mini M1 A2348 | Windows 10 - AMD Ryzen 9 5900x - 32 GB RAM - Nvidia GTX 1080 LG34WK950U-W, calibrated to DCI-P3 with LG Calibration Studio / Spider 5 iPad Air Gen 5 (2022) A2589 Special interest into procedural texture filter, edit alpha channel, RGB/16 and RGB/32 color formats, stacking, finding root causes for misbehaving files, finding creative solutions for unsolvable tasks, finding bugs in Apps.

But is this an enhancement? If the decimals are shown anyway, why do we need a preference for decimal units? I have to confess, that the current beta is not installed on my machine, so I cannot test myself. ------ Windows 10 | i5-8500 CPU | Intel UHD 630 Graphics | 32 GB RAM | Latest Retail and Beta versions of complete Affinity range installed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My custom shortcut for Frequency Separation works ok in this beta. It's good to see the choice of Method has been extended to the Windows version. However, I am getting artefacts with the Gaussian method with radius above 27px for landscape images & 41px for portrait images. This does not occur with the other methods or the production release. It is very specific to those radii. See attached files. I'm not sure whether you would ever use such high radii but it could be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The decimal places in the Transform panel are still controlled completely by the settings in Preferences, User Interface. Are you sure you don't have 3 decimal places specified for px units there? -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure whether you would ever use such high radii but it could be a problem. is really working when I apply separation and frequency in beta, is that I was opening a file with frequency separation of stable version 1.9.2.1035 in that beta, while the artifacts did not happen here.

footeg Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 I agree that the artefacts do not occur in stable version 1.9.2.1035 but they do in this latest beta but only when using the guassian method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

footeg Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Looks like the artefacts in frequency separation are down to our old friend hardware acceleration. Disable it & the problem goes away. My graphics card is an Nvidia Quadro T2000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
