br4n_d0n Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Issue: Color data for black seems to be missing or not being read by the program properly when using adjustments. (Or I'm doing something wrong) Affects: Photo Designer Example: I draw on a pixel layer with black as the color and when I go to make an adjustment with the levels, curves, etc., nothing shows up in the graph area and none of the adjustments have any affect. I also copied the same layer and brought it in to Photoshop to do the exact same levels adjustment and it works as expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingtobbe Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 So far so good for me, although I haven't used this software as heavely as some here I suspect. But I have to say very impressed by how responsive and fluid the UI respond when using it. You definetly have something good going on here and I hope you succed making Photoshop filters more stable and compatible. Lots of people are tied into the whole Adobe ecosystem due devs not making versions of their plug-ins and filters beyond 8bf that alternative software by design can't run. Cheers!

Alfred Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Fixed create cursor being difficult to see on dark backgrounds at 100% Windows display zoom Thanks for this, Mark. I presume you're aware that (as in Affinity Designer) the Text Tool cursors still need fixing.

I also copied the same layer and brought it in to Photoshop to do the exact same levels adjustment and it works as expected. If you paint black all color information will be black (left side of levels graph), it's the opacity that's different. If you select the alpha channel instead of the master your levels should work fine, I think. br4n_d0n 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're correct, it was just confusing because Photoshop only shows you RGB together or each one separately and never indicates alpha channel.

Pandorum Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 I run a german Windows 7 Pro, SP1 on PC. When I had installed Photo Beta I could run it for one time. It worked fine. But after the first use of the application it never loaded again. When I try to start the application it immediately crashes without error message. In the Windows event viewer there is logged an exception error 0xe0434352 in KERNELBASE.dll. I already reinstalled Photo as well as .NET framework 4.6.2. Any ideas?

iomdesign Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Hi Serif, Great work on Designer and Photo. Will undoubtedly purchase them when officially released and have flagged them to others at every opportunity. List of things that I've noticed so far in Photo: Tried to paste in text from a word doc and then from a simple txt file from notepad++ into a text box but Photo wasn't having any of it. It didn't recognise that there was anything on the clipboard. I've noticed a few times, text becoming curves. I think this is usually occurring with select/deselect of layers but I'm not sure. I cant seem to distribute layers. I noticed in the alignment dropdown there is some settings for distribution interval but it was greyed out (see attached image). I was trying to evenly distribute a grid of grouped layers with equal gutters between all columns - am I missing something? I keep finding it frustrating when I am editing a text layer, I instinctively press CTRL+A to select all text but then I just get a marquee selecting the entire document. It would be nice if 'Select All' can be a little bit more contextual to the layer(s) I have selected. I couldn't implement a bitmap pattern fill. I ended up having to create it in Designer and then copy the shape into Photo. Really I would be using Designer for the task at hand anyway but I was kind of expecting to easily add a pattern fill to shapes and found that task a bit clunky. I've found I'm really missing the option to choose whether clicking on an object selects the group or the specific layer. Again, might have missed something? My work is more website and UI design so more applicable generally to Designer. I particularly like the guides manager window and the stroke corner styles and radius options and I much prefer the export process to what I was used to - it seems a much quicker approach. Great work though, really enjoying using both applications. Many thanks, James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessy Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Hi Serif, I have download the latest Windows beta (1.5.0.37) but I don't find the color selector tool. Is this an oversight or is it expected to add it in an upcoming beta update or I don't see it? Thanks! Jessy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dke Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Hi, fine that this version supports the Nik plugins for 16 bit tiff files now. I have a problem with Nik's Sharpener Pro: When I sharpen a 16 bit tiff file with overexposed highlights and add some structure in Sharpener Pro I get ugly artifacts. It does not happen when I do the same sharpening for a jpeg or 8 bit tiff file of the same image. It also doesn't happen when do the same sharpening of the same 16 bit file in a different plugin host like Paintshop Pro X8 or Zoner Photo Studio 17.
