AndreasFurster Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Hi, I used the develop persona to develop my first RAW photo (i'm completely new with RAW files). When I press develop, the result stays not the same. Is this a bug? When I go back to the develop persona, I see the Noise Reduction is not checked anymore. Kind regards, Andreas Furster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_K Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Hi Andreas By not the same I'm guessing you mean a difference in noise reduction? The preview for the noise reduction is dynamic so the preview depends on zoom level. to see the effect that will be applied when the image is developed zoom in to 100%. This should then produce the same results when developed. The develop process itself is slightly destructive so going back into it is start a 'new instance' rather than working on previous settings Serif Europe Ltd - Check the latest news at www.affinity.serif.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreasFurster Posted November 11, 2016 Author Share Posted November 11, 2016 Hi Chris, Thanks for your response! Yeah there is a big difference in the noise reduction. I think your right. When I zoom in to 100% the image changes. Is there a way to develop the image as it looks on "zoom to fit"? It is annoying that there is a difference! You expect something, but the result is different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jorismak Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Do you mean that you set noise reduction, develop, go back and the number is different in the slider. Or do you actually _see_ differences when you press 'develop' and how the photo looks in the photo persona? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted November 12, 2016 Staff Share Posted November 12, 2016 Hi AndreasFurster, No, there's no way to do it. Zoom to fit will not show you an accurate preview. I believe we will try to improve this later. @jorismark, It means that you must be seeing the image at 100% zoom (1:1) to get an accurate preview of the result that will be sent to Photo Persona. If you are seeing the image at a different zoom level the preview is not accurate because some of the adjustments - in particular noise reduction - are dynamic and change slightly on screen depending on the zoom level. Regarding going back to Develop Persona: Affinity Photo doesn't keep the values you have used originally to develop the image. When you click Develop and send it to Photo Persona there's no way to change them again. It's a "destructive operation". This means that if you click again on the Develop Persona icon to go back to work on the image, you are actually working with the data that was already processed once as if it was new.

jorismak Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Was asking the OP :). But since you're bringing it up: You say '100% preview' otherwise some settings are disabled (nothing special or new in that).. but how does that work with your zoom-scale which takes Windows DPI / scaling into account?! It means you start enabling some effects to be viewed at 1:1, but at 100% the scaling on my screen might not be 1:1 device pixels since the use of 'logical' scaling? Still doesn't seem weird to you to not use device pixels ? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi MEB, Thanks for the comment. That's sad :( I ended up with taking a screenshot of the preview, and using that as result... Feels so bad :wacko: Wished there was a better way!

Staff MEB Posted November 18, 2016 Staff Share Posted November 18, 2016 There's no need to use a screenshot of the preview. Why not setting and using the zoom at 100%? A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreasFurster Posted November 24, 2016 Author Share Posted November 24, 2016 There's no need to use a screenshot of the preview. Why not setting and using the zoom at 100%? Because I could not get the same result when using zoom at 100% as I got the preview at zoom to fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
