Peters Treasury Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Hi! From the adjustments tab, the 'level' one disappears sometimes when you leave Affinity Photo open and are ready for your new project. Rebooting resolves it. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums, @Peters Treasury.

Peters Treasury Posted July 9, 2021 Author Share Posted July 9, 2021 Yes, I forgot to screenshot it before I thought to bug report it. I will make a screenshot when it occurs again! walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peters Treasury Posted July 18, 2021 Author Share Posted July 18, 2021 Hi, It happened again. As you can see the 'levels' are completely disappeared from the menu. When I restart, it's back. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted July 19, 2021 Staff Share Posted July 19, 2021 Hi @Peters Treasury, Welcome to Affinity Forums What macOS version are you running? Do you minimize the app to the dock while you don't use it or leave it open in the desktop (behind other apps) when that happens?

Hi! macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 (iMac mid 2011 so I only can update High Sierra) I just leave it open. It doesn't always occur. Can't relate it to anything yet.

Dewey Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 I have this exact same issue . The LEVELS Adjustment will disappear completely from the top of the adjustments column. No functionality. Quitting Affinity Photo and restarting clears it up, which is not useful for the document you are working on at the time. ( The Levels in New Adjustment Layer remains functional ). Screen shot below. I leave my Affinity Photo 1.9.3 open all day , and use it frequently. At some point during the day the LEVELS adjustment will disappear, and I cannot tell you what I did to cause that, since no action was being taken . It...just ... happens. I am running macOS Mojave 14.6 Peters Treasury 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewey Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 - here is a better screenshot of my absent LEVEL adjustment tab. No other adjustment is affected, just LEVELS at the top of the column. This bug is annoying, but not critical, since quitting and restarting Aff Photo clears it up . Peters Treasury 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewey Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 This bug occurs daily for me. At least once. Sometimes more repeatedly. I do minimize Aff Photo 1.9.3 to the Dock between uses , but the app itself remains open. This began happening about 3 weeks ago if I recall. It was not occuring in the 1.9.2 version or earlier .

Staff MEB Posted July 26, 2021 Staff Share Posted July 26, 2021 Thanks @Peters Treasury, @Dewey for the feedback. I'm having trouble reproducing this on Big Sur, it's possible it only affects a couple OS's (apparently High Sierra and Mojave). Will have a look to see if i can reproduce the issue on these OS's. Thanks. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewey Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 18 days after original post, and I note the issue of LEVELS disappearing from the Adjustment tab is still present. The 1.9.3 app opens clean and works fine at first , but after editting for half an hour or completing 3-4 images, LEVELS vanishes, and the app must be closed, Quit, and reopened new. Does not occur with any other setting ( and I am not planning to update to version 1.10 any time soon . Sorry ---reading too many reports of performance issues . Will wait for a few incremental fixes, as I always do ) ------- AffPhoto 1.9.3 , Mac Mini 2012 , SSD + 16 Gb ram , Mojave os 14.6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted August 17, 2021 Staff Share Posted August 17, 2021 Hi @Dewey, This is already logged with the dev team, unfortunately there wasn't progress here. I've updated/bumped the report to bring it up to devs attention again. Thank your for your patience and support.

Dewey Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Well, it has been more than six months, and I still have the disappearing Levels adjustment . No resolution. Seems the Affinity gremlin hunters have moved on... Two questions--- 1. does this missing Levels bug occur only in macOS Mojave 10.14 ( and possibly Sierra or High Sierra ? ) but not in Catalina 10.15 or later ? Might explain why Affinity won't bother fixing it since Apple no longer supports Mojave. 2. I also never updated my Affinity Photo from version 1.9.3 to any of the newer version 1.10. Is it possible this disappearing Level adjustment has been fixed or does not happen in AffPho v.1.10 and newer ? What is gained by upgrading to Affinity 1.10.x anyway , now that it's been out long enough to be tweaked ? Nobody ever made me a convincing case that upgrading Affinity from v . 1.9.3 to 1.10.x really gained that much on my older Mac, and I still run some vital 32 bit software , not the least of which is my free Nik Plugin bundle which I use in Affinity Photo often. Which is one reason I choose to stay with macOS Mojave since its the last OS that runs 32 bit code. Oh well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewey Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 UPDATE : It's almost a year after I first encountered this " Levels Disappears from Adjustment Tabs" bug June 2021, and not receiving a fix from Serif or anyone else after reporting it in July2021 . The issue seems to occur only on macOS Mojave (and maybe theprevious Sierras) . It is persistent...it ALWAYS happens if you leave Aff Photo running all day , as I do. I can understand why Serif wouldn't put a whole lot of time into fixing a bug that appears on OS's no longer supported by Apple. They've moved on . I'm still stuck in the vintage Apple orchard...with Affinity 1.9.3 I just this week -late April 2022- I found a workable solution by chance. If the Levels tab disappears, just click and hold down the Adjustments pallette and drag it out of the right column Studio panel list. You'll immediately notice the Levels tab reappears as you drag it into the app working window. Just hold it for a few seconds then release the mouse and drop the pallette. If the Adjustment tab sticks and stays present , just drag the whole Adjustments pallette back where it came from in the right column Studio , and yer good to go. If it disappears again , just repeat this procedure until it doesn't. Only 10 seconds of downtime to fix this annoying little bug.
