  Hi All,

We have just made available an Release Candidate RC2 build of 2.6.0 beta - version 2.6.0.3078 - This was created to address bugs and make improvements to the new features announced in this post

The fix list for this build is here.

Improvements in 3078

  • Masks now have an "invert mask" on the right click menu on Desktop 

This is a potential release candidate, meaning that 2.6.0 will be released to the public shortly, though it may end up being a slightly later build than this, depending on what is found in this build.

Please report bugs in the Other "New bugs in the beta" forum not this thread.

I miss now the ML on my iPad mini.

Sorry but that is by design. The minimum feature requirements have been set to need an Apple Silicon M type chip.

I have a 9th generation iPad will this update work on this. No silicone chip as far as I am aware. If not will version 2.6 never work on my iPad or will it be available in full release?

That model has the A13 chip and is from 2021.

Officially, the basic iPad is supported for models from 2017 and newer, so a model from 2021 should work.

It is only the ML-based features (select subject, select object) being added in 2.6 which will not work without an M series processor.

It is silicon, not silicone (no "e" - they are two completely different things).

ALL iPad models have Apple Silicon chips, but most of them (including yours) use A series processors rather than M series processors.

Version 2.6 will work on your iPad, yes.

HOWEVER 2 of the new Affinity Photo 2.6 features will not be available, those features are

  1. Machine Learning: Object Selection Tool
  2. Machine Learning: Select Subject

Every new update to Affinity Photo, beta as retail, I immediately looking into Percedural Texture live filter - the annoying behavior that the GUI is tiny sized every time we reopen the PT-filter again…

Why can’t Affinity Photo remember the last size och placement of the PT GUI?

This ”bug” has been going for years and years!

Is’nt people using the powerful and funny filter Percedural Texture any more?

The Youtube channel PlasmaPortal has a lot of tutorials on this amazing filter.

Happy guy playing around with the Affinity Suite - really love typographic, photographing, Color & forms, AND, old Synthesizers from the 1980-1990’s…

Have you reported it previously as a bug? Was it accepted and logged as a bug?

In any case, it sounds like it is not new with the beta, and thus is better discussed in the other part of the forums, since this part of the forum is for issues that are new to the beta.

I tried to replicate this old bug with the Smudge Brush Tool that causes the blocky textures as well as alpha holes in opaque layers. After som further testing I found out that it is still possible with certain brushes such as the Analog Ink Nib in the Inks category.
