Hangman Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 Hi @Frozen Death Knight, Are you referring to View > View Mode > Greyscale in Designer or to something else? For me, this is working for 32-bit images but I may be misunderstanding what you are referring to here...

No problem, thanks for confirming... I only asked because your screenshots are from Affinity Photo rather than Designer so thought I may have misunderstood the issue. It looks as though it's a Windows issue in that case as this appears to be working correctly on macOS.

Of some reason the preview works in the other Personas besides the Designer Persona, you just can't toggle the activation when using the others.

I agree you can't toggle the activation off in either Photo or Publisher since the Greyscale and no FX view mode options are Designer only features, i.e., the options don't exist in either Photo or Publisher so there are no options to toggle the features off... I suspect this is by Design but I could be wrong, hopefully someone from the moderation team can confirm... It would seem practical if these features were added to both Photo and Designer as well...

Return Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 I think those view modes including the pixel/retina/wireframe mode should also be in the other programs and persona's Hangman and Frozen Death Knight 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
