Affinity Photo Public Beta - 1.5.0.44 (RC)


Recommended Posts

Click here to download the latest beta

Status: Release Candidate
Purpose: Stability
Requirements: None

As 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. Thanks once again for your continued feedback.

If you have a general question about the software, please head over to the Questions Forum, or if you have any suggestions, please head over to the Feature Requests forum.

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:

Can you upload that image, and we'll take a look. If it's too big, you can upload to Dropbox or something and give me a link.

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.

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.

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 ?

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.

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. paperbag.gif

Hi sduccio,

Welcome to Affinity Forums :)

Both plug-ins are working correctly for me in 1.5.044. Can you try to restart Affinity Photo and check again please?

Not seeing that here, using the latest (RC) version, both open and work fully, although the plug-ins display of portrait images is still rotated through 90 degrees!  :huh:

When trying to use an 'Invert Hue' HSL adjustment to recolour the petals in the image from this thread, I got the result shown in the attached screenshot.

Dropping a 32-bit HDR image about 911MB and res 21604 X 10802 into this version (and previous versions), I get unhandled Exception Code 0xC0000005

 

In general the app seems slow and unstable with highres 32bit images

Can you upload the image to Dropbox? Even though it's a massive image, it should still be able to load it without running out of memory (which I suspect is what is happening).
