Mark Ingram Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Click here to download the latest betaStatus: Release CandidatePurpose: StabilityRequirements: NoneAs this is a beta release, it is considered to be not suitable for production use. This means that you should not attempt to use it for commercial purposes or for any other activity that you may be adversely affected by the application failing. In addition it is worth noting that files created in Affinity Photo 1.5 cannot be opened in Affinity Photo 1.4, which means that they cannot be opened in the latest Mac App Store version of Affinity Photo, and instead you will need the latest macOS 1.5 beta.We hope you enjoy the latest build, and as always, if you've got any problems, please don't hesitate to post here and we'll get back to you as soon as we can.

AiDon Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Fixes Fixed loading TIFF files as RAW from OnOne Just to let you know this issue with ON1 isn't solved, the big issue here is that it produces TIFF images that aren't flattened. If you take the TIFF image into, say PS, and flatten it it is OK to open otherwise it opens like in this screen copy: Both PC’s Win 11 x64 System with Intuos Pen & Touch PC1 ASUS ROG Strix - AMD Ryzen 9 6900X CPU @ 3.3GHz. 32GB RAM- GPU 1: AMD Radeon integrated.

Hi Mark, Try this image as it is another generated by ON1 with the same problem (small at 93MB) - https://www.dropbox.com/s/69eo1qunuxqyhkw/Treated%20as%20RAW%20-%20ProPhotoRGB.tif?dl=0 This other is 168MB but I can upload it if you need another. BTW just to mention that the PSD's generated by ON1 work fine.

AiDon Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Thanks, I've added in an extra fix for this. Hi Mark, Will you flatten it on save, it would be better as ON1 doesn't care if it is flattened or not? Many other apps don't read their style of TIFF.

Rafal Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 RC and i still have the same bug with Wacom Intuos. Are you looking into this problem ?I have this line in the Log file "WinTab: Failed to get tangent pressure info" My Wacom works perfectly with other raster and vector softwares. I downloaded lates drivers for it, I don't think problem lies on my side.Does anyone else experience a one second delay every time when starting new stroke with Wacom Intous in Affinity Photo ?

Alfred Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 The cursors for the Text Tools still don't show the cross clearly at 100% zoom (and the same applies to those tools and the Artboard Tool in the 1.5.1.43 release build of Designer). Edited to add: Although the 'Preferences...' option is no longer missing from the Edit menu in any of the Personas, it still has no default shortcut in the Photo Persona.

Alfred Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 (edited) Thanks for this update... but I can't get the Rectangular Marquee Tool to work anymore. The Freehand Selection Tool isn't working for me, but the Rectangular and Elliptical Marquee Tools seem to work fine. Edit: I've just discovered that the Freehand Selection Tool was in 'Subtract' mode.
