Astro macros not running correctly on my iMac (Big Sur 11.3.1)

[Germinator]

I really like Affinity Photo for processing my astrophotography images. Therefore, I was curious in testing the new astrophotography macros V6.

However, I am facing some problems and it seems that the macros are not running correctly on my iMac (Big Sur 11.3.1).

The point is that the sliders to fine tune the properties of the live masks are not available (see attached screenshot).

Maybe it is just a missing plugin or a false set setting. I hope you can help.

Best regards,
Michael

Hi @Germinator,

Welcome to the forums and I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble!

I can confirm this is a known issue and appears to be related to the languages in use, both within Affinity and possibly your macOS language also.

If you open Affinity Photo > Preferences > General and set your app to Eng (UK) and restart, then run the macro once more - are the sliders now visible for you?

As mentioned this is already logged with our developers, I'll be sure to update this log with your report now and we hope to have it fixed in a future update!

Hi @Dan C,

Perfect - you made my day!

Setting language to English (UK) solves the problem.

Greeting from good old Germany,
