Tony M. Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Hey guys, I use affinity from within Photos on my mac. Lately I have had trouble with the extensions when I am using the haze removal tool. It seems to take a bit longer to open up in Affinity and when it does it is not displaying properly. I have enclosed a screenshot of what it looks like. When I try moving the sliders nothing is changing. My version of Affinity is from the Mac App store. Any help would be much appreciated. Tony M.

h_d Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Hi @Tony M. and welcome! I am seeing the same as you when I use the Haze Removal extension on Raw images (Panasonic .rw2 format). It also occurs with images identified by Apple Photos as "RAW + JPEG", but not with "JPEG + RAW" or with jpegs. Is that the same with you? Looks to me like a bug, which I'm also getting if I try the same thing in the latest beta. I'll report it as a bug there.

R C-R Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 I also am seeing the same when I use the Haze Removal extension. Several of the other AP extensions display a variety of problems but that varies depending on the kind of RAW image I try to edit with the extension. So for example, the Liquify extension works but I can't see the effect on the image until I click the save changes button, so it is basically useless.

Reggie1958 Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Hi All, I tried the same thing (Pentax K3 DNG raw) _+ Jpeg, also very slow on my MacBook Pro. Interestingly the screen shot below shows a blank "Before" view and there is no effect on the "After" section when I try the sliders.

So I did a quick check and any RAW files I have the problem with. When I went back and found a JPEG it opened no problem. So it looks like editing RAW files is the problem. I might put in a bug report as well so the developers can see it may be a bit widespread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not go as far as saving tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just glad I finally found something that referred to what was happening. Hopefully they can get it looked at soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Chris B Posted July 13, 2021 Staff Share Posted July 13, 2021 Hi Tony, I have nothing to report yet. There's still lots of fixes being made but I have been keeping an eye on the Extensions stuff as a few people are waiting on a fix.
