Lojza Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Please, is there a way how to save UI state on quit? Every time I start AP, I have to make at least three clicks to switch to the tabs I use most: Histogram -> Colour Adjustment -> Layers Navigator -> Transform Thanks!

A_B_C Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 There’s a slight UI bug with the Live Filters. The Blend Mode menu doesn’t display the correct setting after reopening the filter panel. The setting itself is retained though. See below. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lojza Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 "Fix for document view having visible borders at different zoom levels and pan locations" still isn't 100%. Documents quite often display inexistent borders. One example for all - the left light one-pixel line shouldn't be there...

third Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Hi, thanks a lot for this improved Beta release. I noticed that the Apple Photos implementation has been reworked with additional tools. However, I regret that the auto correction (levels, colors...) are not available anymore - or I did not find them. Keep going team, I am so happy not having invested in PS :) Viva Affinity :) MattP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Blend Mode menu doesn’t display the correct setting after reopening the filter panel. The setting itself is retained though. See below. :) The Blend Mode in the Live Filer dialog is passed to the layer's blend mode (on the top of the Layers Panel) but this could be retained in the Filter dialog itself. Issue logged to be looked at. Thanks. A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference | Call for Camera Images Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff MEB Posted November 24, 2015 Staff Share Posted November 24, 2015 Hi tyler26, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) If you don't want the bitmap repeated, set the Extend dropdown to Zero in the context toolbar. I'm not sure what do you meant by close... Did the program crashed? If so can you attach the crash report here?

Shmoo Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Amy news on about when we can see some sort of history/cookie function in the Affinity? What I mean is if you simple want to crop an image the app doesn't remember it last chosen selection and always falls back to default. If you open about 20 images a day to simply crop and save them it's a lot of work to go through all the settings steps at each image. This is the reason why I have placed Pixelmator back on my Dock for now. Anything else is working fine here..

blackest Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I've just been using this beta and did a frequency separation on a photo and it looks great but when i open the exported jpeg or png in preview or lightroom the tone is way off what i am looking at in affinity photo beta? Am i doing something wrong in the export? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyler26 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Another suggestion, when applying undo/redo, it is not clear to see which steps is in the HISTORY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldm.web@gmail.com Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Please bring back the Auto functions. They were useful, quick, and usually "good enough, clearly superior results to what Photos produced. Why removed functionality? ldm.web@gmail.com 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
