HDR quirk/ error

[alfpics]

Had a play with the HDR feature. I loaded 5 Pentax RAW files. Once Affinity had finished processing, I selected the high contrast black and white option. So far, so good.

 

I then applied the Dodge brush to emphasise a line of mist in the landscape. If I then export to jpeg and resize the image, I end up with some cyan dots near, but not under where I used the brush. (jpeg quality 95%). This doesn't happen when not re-sizing, and when I didn't first use the dodge brush. If I recall correctly the problem remained even after I had gone back on the History tab to before using the Dodge brush.

 

I tried to attach the original sized jpeg - not sure if it attached or not

alfpics,

 

Thanks - this looks like a clamping issue / bug. We will try to reproduce it.

 

Andy.

 

ps. Great shot by the way - where was this taken?

[alfpics]

Thanks Andy - a place called Steyning Bowl on the South Downs.

 

PS another version I did the same with ended up with cyan spots in another location - at left hand edge

Have just re-tried and seems to be ok with latest release - thanks!

I have been trying the HDR in Affinity with no problems. The output seems to be on a par with that produced by Photomatix and, if anything, that of Nil HDR Effexs (?)  Pro. Admittedly, this is only one trial of a set of stained glass windows, but I am impressed.
